Abstract
About this talk
Patients seen in Referral University Urban Clinics display tremendous progress resulting from better medical attention in rural area.
These changes are attributed to improved access with better infrastructure roads and road transport.
Good medical facilities and trained personnel.in remote rural areas contribute to this progress.
Dissemination and guidance on skin care and early intervention of skin conditions through the media, mobile clinics and Medical camps.
Emphasis on avoidance of non-conventional therapists, quacks, bogus healers use of home made concoctions and potions containing toxic substances.
Above all Doctors sparing time to listen, understand and address patient concerns at primary level of their beliefs, superstition and unwanted fears forms a vital part of proper treatment of each individual.
All these have changed the outlook, reducing severity and undue complications of skin conditions.
Devastating Atopic Eczema, Contact Dermatitis are now scarcely seen at specialized clinics giving way to referrals of conditions facing more cosmetic concerns from those afflicted.
In past times the Cosmetic Industry neglected research and manufacture of products for dark skinned individuals
This resulted in the use all kinds of home made mixtures, unrefined not tested, botanicals, animal, sea and soil ingredients causing skin damage.
Today however, Industry has caught up with the demand and now produce skin and hair products attracting consumers. It is now a thriving business.
My presentation will detail skin issues that now take second place of referral clinics in contrast to cases requiring more cosmetic support for healing or healed dermatology issues.
