Consumption Pattern of Prickly Heat Powder
HEALTH & WEALTH is the perfect phrase, which is the perfect introduction of us.
During summer season prickly heat is irritating and painful problem for many. It is also termed as Miliaria or heat rashes. It is a skin disease marked by small and itchy rashes. When the sweat accrues in certain parts of our body and results in the formation of small red bumps, which causes irritation and severe itching, then trying out prickly heat powders is a very possible solution. Prickly heat mostly affects back, underarms, near waist area, and chest. Newborns and infants are predominantly vulnerable to prickly heat because their sweat ducts are not mature. This makes it easier for the beads of moisture to be trapped easily. It usually originates from the neck and if the individual is unlucky it can spread down onto the chest and back. Spreading in to areas like ears and face, but it seldom produces any discomfort for a baby. The hot and humid conditions become a hindrance to the sweat glands becoming blocked. This result in skin cells and bacteria may block the sweat glands, leading to sweat being retained and building up on the skin leading to inflammation, which causes the rash. Indian summers bring along with them peculiar conditions, one of them being prickly heat. And this has led to the emergence of prickly heat powders, a staple product on shelves of many consumers. The major players in this category are now upping their ante for the summer as they try to gain more market share.

THE FOLLOWING STUDY HAS BEEN DONE SOLELY FROM SECONDARY RESEARCH TO SHOW THE CONSUMPTION PATTERN OF PRICKLY HEAT POWDERS IN KOLKATA.
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON PRICKLY HEAT POWDER USERS:

Prickly heat powder users | PERCENTAGE | YES | 96% | NO | 4% |

    Eczema Natural Approach

    Atopic eczema (aka infantile e., flexural e., atopic dermatitis) is an allergic disease believed to have a hereditary component and often runs in families whose members also have asthma. Itchy rash is particularly noticeable on head and scalp, neck, inside of elbows, behind knees, and buttocks. Contact dermatitis is of two types: allergic (resulting from a delayed reaction to some allergen, such as poison ivy or nickel), and irritant (resulting from direct reaction to a detergent, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, for example). Some substances act both as allergen and irritant (wet cement, for example). Other substances cause a problem after sunlight exposure, bringing on phototoxic dermatitis. About three quarters of cases of contact eczema are of the irritant type, which is the most common occupational skin disease. Contact eczema is curable, provided the offending substance can be avoided and its traces removed from one's environment.…

    Atopic dermatitis is a common disorder not only found in the united states but also around the world. This disorder is not gender specific and affects boys, girls, men, and women alike. The disorder can appear at any age but is more likely to occur in infancy or childhood. It is thought that more than half of patients develop symptoms before their first birthday, and about two thirds before their fifth birthday. It is not very common to first show signs and symptoms of this disorder after people get into their thirties. Scientists believe this is because the disease was not genetically inherited by the person and rather the skin was exposed to harsh wet or dry conditions. It seems that climate may play a role in this condition, as people who live in places with extreme weather are more likely to develop this.…
