What is parakeratosis?

Parakeratosis is a benign skin condition characterized by dry, scaly skin. There are a number of potential causes and healing approaches that can be discussed with a dermatologist. The evaluation of the skin expert is usually recommended to distinguish between parakeratosis and other skin diseases that may require different treatment. This condition is not contagious and although there may be hereditary components, they do not necessarily have to be handed over from parents to children. Cells, known as corner cells, lack cores and have a high keratin content, protein that helps the skin to maintain moisture. Moisture detention keeps the skin flexible and strong, except for protection of the underlying tissues in the body. Over time, dead cells are diverted and replaced by new cells that develop on the floors of the skin. This constant cycling keeps the skin in good condition. As a result, their skin is dry and the body loses moisture. Over time, dry scales develop and these may turn into deep cracks and cracksy. Lees in the skin can occur and sometimes the skin spills and becomes red, inflamed, tender and very painful. Usually, the layers of dry scales are very easily inserted.

This skin disease was associated with severe use of topical products such as deodorant, make -up and other substances that are applied directly to the skin. This may also occur in response to the environmental exposition. In other cases, there may be no clear cause of scaly skin development. The dermatologist can do scratching to explore under the microscope to confirm the parakeratosis and exclude any other possible science of the disease.

Treatment may include dry brushing to remove scales, along using humidifiers to protect the skin. Local anti -inflammatory creams can be used to reduce redness and tenderness, and intensive humidifiers of intensive regulation can be recommended in patients with severe rupture and scaling. PaCaces may also be recommended to make lifestyle changes, such as the not use of certain materials directly on the skin and changing their diet to support the growth of healthy skin. Long -term treatment of parakeratosis includes careful monitoring that captures early signs of infection and inflammation in areas where the skin is dry and cracked.
