“NHS trusts have paid almost £1bn to private healthcare companies to run extra services in their own hospitals”

[..]

“Private equity has already extracted massive profits from councils’ social care budgets. Now it’s stalking the NHS. We need direct investment in our health service, not public money lining shareholder pockets off the back of waiting lists.”

Is My Red Light Mask Doing Anything Or Am I Delusional? An Investigation

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ☀️🧴 A #JAMA #Dermatology meta-analysis pooled 17 studies covering more than 321,000 people and found that a history of painful, blistering sunburns raised the odds of squamous cell carcinoma by 51% to 69%, with severe #childhood burns linked to up to three times the risk.

Researchers caution that the evidence is uncertain because it relies on people recalling past burns. The study reinforces #sun protection such as Slip, Slop, Slap for #kids and #teens.

Currently reading: Evidence behind viral anti-aging trends on TikTok: A review.

The TL;dr is that dermatology is more complex than influencer-driven trends on TikTok (ha!) -- some TikTok skincare trends are legit, some are dubious, and many are understudied.

This provides a good overview if you're wondering what's hype and what's backed by science.

💧🧬 Aquagenic urticaria is an extremely rare condition where #skin contact with #water triggers painful hives.

Researchers believe a substance on the skin reacts with water to release histamine. Interestingly, those affected can still drink water safely because their internal digestive systems don't trigger this specific immune response.

Good Morning #Canada
The Mole Mobile, a #Dermatology clinic in a customized RV, will be visiting major Canadian cities again this summer. Look for the Mole Mobile in any town experiencing long wait times to see a dermatologist, underserved communities, rural and Indigenous regions, with the objective of improving diagnosis for skin cancer. Hundreds of patients are typically screened at each stop and immediately referred if cancer is found.

I've been struggling with eczema on my hands for a few years. Showering always aggravates my hands, even with cool water (I guess maybe it's the shampoos and soaps?). I discovered the existence of water tight shower gloves. I've been using them for a few weeks. They've been a godsend, and I highly recommend trying them if you have similar problems with your hands. #eczema #skin #dermatology #health

🩹🧬 Scar tissue forms when specialized cells called fibroblasts quickly deposit dense bundles of collagen to seal an injury.

The process prioritizes the restoration of the skin's protective barrier against #microbes over the original structure of healthy skin. Because the resulting dense tissue lacks #hair follicles and sweat glands it remains a permanent physical record of the body's rapid repair mechanism.

My dermatologist froze a LOT of areas on my head a couple of days ago. Normally I don't mind, but this time I actually got brain freeze. Now I have weird blisters on my scalp; they're red on the edges, white in the centers. I look like someone with a space disease from original Star Trek! 🤣

They're booking me for a full photodynamic scalp peel, too. Apparently precancerous cells, like Spring, are busting out all over.

Has anyone out there had photodynamic therapy? Apparently I need it, and I'm wondering what it's like!

Why might #AI-assisted #dermatology decisions improve by about 10%?

Across 4,905 unaided and AI-aided decisions, clinicians were more likely to revise when the AI disagreed than when it agreed — even when the AI was wrong!

👨‍⚕️📱 A dermatologist thinks coding a "vibe" into a #skin #cancer #app will somehow make it more effective, because nothing says "serious medical diagnosis" like swiping left or right on suspicious moles! 😂 Meanwhile, #QR #codes make a triumphant return to remind us that #innovation in #tech is all about reinventing the wheel... but worse. 🔄📸
