Disease Talk with Survey of Human Body Systems Students
The integumentary system is the largest organ in the body, our outermost covering, and our first line of defense against foreign material that might enter our body. Use the website I paste below to learn about the three skin diseases listed. Choose at least one other disease to learn about. View at least one other website for each of the diseases to see pictures of what the diseased skin looks like and to gain additional information. Post a comment after you have completed your research. Be sure to include personal knowledge/experiences with the diseases. For example, you may have always heard how one of these spreads; you may have seen someone's skin you has had one of these diseases/disorders; etc. Describe your reaction to your new knowledge and your prior knowledge with these disorders/diseases. Remember not to mention names of people or refer specific people in your posts. Reply to at least one other person's post by asking them a question or commenting on their post.

I heard that 3 million Americans are infected with Psoriasis. Which is swelling and irritation.
Did ya'll know that psoriasis has four types:Guttate,Inverse,Erythrodermic,Pustular.
Casey, where did you hear that???
Are there specific places on the body that psoriasis is common on?
They appear as red small dots on the skin the Guttate Psoriasis disease.Its a lot of different types of Psoriasis also.GO SEE!!!!
Who can be the first to say what the differences are between the four types????
Impetigo is a ski infection that causes soars and blisters.
Vitiligo
A skin disease causing the loss of pigmentation in which patients develop white spots in the skin that vary in size and location. The spots occur when pigment cells, or melanocytes, are destroyed and the pigment melanin can no longer be produced.
Patrise, when you say "go see," did you look at pictures people's skin with psoriasis?
I heard that vitiligo is what is wrong with Michael Jackson. Did anyone else hear that??
scabies are like crabs.
What percentage are women?
Vitiligo affects men and women of all race and age equally.
Yes Mrs.Clark
Yeah so they say i really haven't look in to it.....
Scabies outbreaks happens in nursing homes and extended care facilities because the mites and their eggs are transfered through other people in the home.
Yes Mrs. Clark I did hear that also!
Scabies has the same reactions like the STD Crabs.
So how can scabies be prevented??
I learned that Impetigo can cause your skin to turn red!! If children get Impetigo, then the way that you will know is that the child will continually scratch themselves...
I never knew that some many people of all races and sexes could be affected by this disease.
Scabies is spread by direct contact. Thats like if you touch someone that has it you also can have it. A MESS!!!
I saw a pic of scabies on a baby anyone no how the baby got it?
I heard it from Healthline.com. There are parts where psoriasis is common. Example of those would be:
elbows, knees, trunk, scalp, hands, and nails.
Most cases of psoriasis are not life threating but they are serious.
To treat scabies you have to kill the mites and thier eggs!!!

No Mrs. Clark I didn't hear that Micheal Jackson had that,I don't think that Courtney heard it either!!!LOL

Tonisha and others: Be sure to remember what I told you about using good grammar and standard English.
Scabies is a type allergic reaction or an infestation cause by little microscopic mites. Scabies are also known as sarcoptes red bumbs or blisters. From reaserch scabies could be transferd from bed partners or from contact from another person with the infection. The symptoms to let you know that you have this infecton is little blister and red bumps located in the armpits,groin area, and even in the breast area. The way to get ride of scabies is to go see a doctor and get prescribe medicines like cream and lotions for the skin with 5% permethrin, lidane, or crotamiton. The second treatment is to clean all bedding and towels that may been used while you have infection. Third you may vancum clean any area that you may laid on in house the may have infestation with the scabies eggs. Next, you might need to treat household members of the family. So this is what I know
In a child you could easily spot Impetigo by looking at the child's reactions.
Someone needs to look up and post an answer to the question: how do you prevent scabies????
scratching scabies may cause suts in the skin where bateria may enter and cause infections
This is Interesting!!
When scratching scabies they get worse sort of like chicken pox i think.
Students, some of you have had some great posts to other people's comments. However, make sure that you complete the original assignment post. You are supposed to complete research for four diseases. Include information from your "new" knowledge and your "prior" knowledge. You all are doing great. Be sure to post comments about all of the diseases though.
If psoriasis symptoms appear you should immediately seek medical attend because you need to be hospitalized
Whats the point of your hair growing when it's just going to fall out in no time?
did you know that freckles can be described as an incorrect or uneven distribution of the melanin pigments that reside within your skin and eyes and face but occurs before you even born with it there nothing to treat it

you can prevent scabies by avoiding contact with the infected person. Also treat family and people who had contact with an infected person wheather they are itching or have a rash

Iva its a lot of treatments for hair loss.
Balness is the most common cause of hair loss.
I had researched the disease hair loss disease, Alopeiocia. What I learned from this disease is that it is a hereditary trait that can be passed down to a family member due to fungical infection in the scalp of your hair and to hormonal problems in the skin. Treatments and medications are available for this disease, I know because I have Alopeiocia and I use treatments everyday so that my hair could grow back in my hair scalp. The only thing I can do is just use my medication everyday and pray that my hair will come back. This disease was passed down from my grandmother to me and I don't want to pass my hair loss disease to somebody in my family. So just like I said go to a Dermantologist and see if the reason why you are losing hair and let the doctor give you some medications for your scalp. Thank You.
Guttate Psoriasis often appears as small red dots on the skin.
Most hair loss men go through
Patrise how do you know nail fungus disease is gone for good?
Impetigo usually happens in the summer time and mostley effects small children and infants.
Scabbies is common in nursing homes and extended care facilities.
antibotics are sometimes affect of hair loss.

Stephen why does Impetigo usually happen in the summer and why does it mostly target small children and infants?
Whats difference in the four types of psoriasis or is it a difference?

Kanya do you think my hair will come back
Impetigo is a common skin infection for kids and will not cause any serious injuries. Impetigo will normally strike during the summer time and will normally hit younger kids and infants.
Impetigo is an everyday skin disease.
my friend had this kind of disease Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation but her was passed on by her mom and dad said of the family but there a lot of thing to try to bring her color back but it thing that she can not eat and drink and when she go out she have to have suntin location
did you know that the most common symptoms for psoriasis are thick, red patches known as plaques,an ddry sivery scales
Impetigo usually occurs during the summer because young kids get it mostly.
I have learned so much about these particular diseases:Psoriasis, Scabies, Impetigo, Eczema. Let me tell you a little information about Eczema. Eczema is the most common skin infection. It is characterized by inflammation and redness of skin in patches.Eczema is not contagious and did you know it can result from certain foods or taking certain medicines?
And did you know impetigo is better known as an everyday skin infection?
Did you know impetigo can star anywhere it wants on the child's body?
Did you also know that it normally strikes around summer time?
Did you know that there is no way to prevent Psoriasis but there are tips:
-Avoid scratching
-Avoid infections
-Avoid cold, dry climates
-Keep skin moist and lubricated
Did you know that Scabies is a form of allergic reaction or infection of microscope mities.They may manifest in the skin as red bumps or blisters.they can also be extremely itchy!!!Scratching it may cause cuts in the skin.
yes, Joselyn I actually knew that but did you know there is a huge possibility of transferring the mite especially for bed partners where prolonged skin contant is apparent.
yes! Monakia I did know this. A little about each type is that Guttate appears as small red dots on the skin,
Inverse psoriasis some symptoms of this often appear in the armpits around the groin,
Erythrodermic if this symptom appears it is extremely important that you seek medical attention!! And
Pustular Psoriasis-include white Pustules surrounding by areas of reddened skin.
Well Mrs. Clark scabies can be prevented by avoiding physical contact with infected persons and their belongings, especially clothing and bedding, treating all family and household members who had skin contact with an infected person, whether or not they are itching or have a rash, and excluding persons with scabies from school or day care until 24 hours after treatment.
