• Toilet Seat Dermatitis on the Rise -

  If your child gets a rash on the backs of the thighs or sides of the buttocks would you think about your toilet seat as the culprit? In a new study published in the journal Pediatrics, investigators discovered the factors most likely to cause skin irritation from a toilet seat.

  It appears using harsh chemicals to clean the toilet seat or having toilet seats made of exotic woods, especially if they are covered with varnish or paint, are to blame for causing skin irritation in children. This irritation is easily treated if diagnosed early, but bacteria can get into the skin if it's cracked and chafing, causing cellulitis.

• Using Candy to Treat Resistant Infections -

  A new study recently published showed that glycyrrhizin, a compound that comes from licorice root, Glycyrrhiza glabra, helped burned skin fight off infections. Glycyrrhizin works by helping the skin create proteins called antimicrobial peptides which attack the covering of the bacteria and poke holes in it.

• Non-Functioning Checkpoint Gene May Cause Skin Cancer -

  In a new study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers describe the possibility that turning on a certain gene could prevent skin cancer.

  One type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, starts on the top layer of the skin. Exposure to UV radiation can damage the DNA of a skin cell. A protein called protein kinase C (PKC) repairs the DNA damage and if there is too much damage, PKC tells the cell to die.

  One part of cell division involves splitting DNA in half and copying the other side. There are checkpoints along the way where the cell repairs any damage to the DNA before going on. This study found that the PKC gene is responsible for stopping at these checkpoints, but in squamous cell carcinoma, the PKC gene is turned off.

• New MRSA Treatment Based on Nanotechnology -

  Scientists have developed a novel treatment for MRSA, a bacteria that causes abscesses and is resistant to the usual antibiotics. This treatment involves applying a cream that contains tiny nanoparticles carrying nitric oxide to the infection. When these nanoparticles released the nitric oxide, resistant infections in mice cleared up even without surgical drainage.

• Higher Risk of Shingles With Later Chicken Pox Vaccination -

  There is a risk of developing shingles after getting the chicken pox vaccination but that risk is very low. A recent study showed that children who received the vaccination later were at a higher risk of developing shingles.

  The first chicken pox vaccine is normally given after a child's first birthday, and the second vaccination is given between 4 and 6 years old. The second vaccination can actually be given 3 months after the first.

  The study also showed that children with asthma and developmental disorders were also at a higher risk of developing shingles.
