Study Notes
Bacteria and Infection Transmission
- Bacteria can enter the body through the nose, mouth, and breaks in the skin, but not through healthy skin.
- Indirect transmission occurs when an infectious disease spreads through air or contact with contaminated objects.
Skin Lesions and Other Skin Conditions
- Wheal lesions are exemplified by hives, which are characterized by elevated, irregularly shaped areas of skin edema.
- Pustules are small skin elevations similar to vesicles that contain pus.
- Vesicles are small, cyst-like bumps that can be caused by conditions such as poison ivy.
- Miliaria rubra, also called prickly heat, is a rash caused by blockage of sweat glands, leading to small red bumps.
- Eczema is characterized by itchy, dry, inflamed skin that can intermittently flare up.
- Anhidrosis and hypohidrosis refer to conditions causing reduced or absent sweating, which can lead to heat-related illnesses.
Blood Components and Functions
- Thrombocytes play a crucial role in blood clotting.
- Hemoglobin in blood is responsible for transporting oxygen to the body's tissues.
- Leukocytes (white blood cells) are essential in the immune system for defending against infections.
- Plasma serves as the fluid medium that delivers nutrients to cells and removes waste products from the body.
Skin Types and Conditions
- Dry skin is less prone to acne, while oily skin has a rough texture with blackheads and enlarged pores.
- Tinea pedis is commonly known as athlete's foot, a fungal infection of the skin.
- Melanotic sarcoma, a type of skin cancer, typically begins as a mole.
Skin Layers and Functions of Glands
- The subcutaneous layer is located beneath the dermis and consists of adipose (fatty) and connective tissues.
- Sudoriferous glands primarily regulate body temperature through sweat production.
Cosmetic Procedures and Contraindications
- High blood pressure is a contraindication for facial massages as it can increase circulation and present risks.
- Circular friction movements are used in massages to promote relaxation.
- An average distance of 16-18 inches should be maintained when using a facial steamer.
- Approved EPA-registered disinfectants should be used on tools coming into contact with blood.
Identifying and Reacting to Skin Conditions
- Conditions like folliculitis occur due to bacterial infections in hair follicles, while bromidrosis denotes a malodorous condition related to perspiration.
- Signs of allergic reactions to cosmetic products include redness and inflammation, but not necessarily swelling.
- Pterygium of the nail can occur at the eponychium or hyponychium areas.
Makeup Application Techniques
- Lighter makeup colors are used to emphasize and highlight certain facial features during corrective procedures.
- Applying eye makeup near the inner corners helps make wide-set eyes appear closer together.
- Avoid facial waxing before special occasion makeup applications to prevent irritation and redness.
Additional Skin Knowledge
- Freckles are classified as macules, and melanoderma refers to hyperpigmentation resulting from increased melanocyte activity.
- The acid mantle, formed by sebum and perspiration, helps protect the skin's surface.
