| Rosacea is getting worse
Dear Dr. Gott: When I was 19, I had my acne burned off with X-rays. Twenty years later, it came back, so I took tetracycline for 30 years. My acne didn't disappear but started to change, so my primary care physician sent me to a dermatologist. I was told that the acne was being replaced by rosacea. I couldn't tell the difference in the early stages of the transition. About a year later, the change was very apparent. At this point, I was put on minocycline twice a day and have taken it for more than six years. My skin has always been very oily, and I have inordinate amounts of seborrheic keratoses, some too big to freeze off. Now, if I stop my minocycline for three weeks, what looks like pus drips off my nose. Once I start the medication again, it takes another four months to get back to normal.

Eat right, enjoy life!
MALAYSIANS are busier than ever today. Most of us face hectic schedules and juggle multiple responsibilities, leaving us little time to eat, or eat right. We now eat out more often and eating and drinking on the go is common. We prefer convenience or instant meals and also depend heavily on take-away services. There is growing reliance on maids to plan and prepare meals in many families. There is also a mind-boggling choice of foods and a deluge of health and nutrition (misinformation) to deal with. Exercise takes a backseat. Our stress levels are high and maintaining the work-life balance is a challenge. Does this describe your lifestyle? Or close to it? Read on and take a peek on how Nutrition Month Malaysia (NMM) 2008 can help you eat right and enjoy an active life in a contemporary lifestyle.
