Cincinnati is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Hamilton County. The municipality is located north of the Ohio River at the Ohio-Kentucky border.
Cincinnati is home to major sports teams including the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals, as well as events like the Cincinnati Masters, the Ohio Valley Jazz Festival and the Thanksgiving Day race. The University of Cincinnati traces its foundation to the Medical College of Ohio, which was founded in 1819.
Cincinnati is also known for having one of the larger collections of nineteenth-century Italianate architecture in the U.S., primarily concentrated just north of Downtown in an area known as Over-the-Rhine. Over-the-Rhine is one of the largest historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati)
It is a common form of skin eczema that occurs in parts of the body with high
oil (sebum) production. Body areas that are commonly affected include the scalp,
ears, face, chest, and folds of skin, such as the underarms or the skin below
breasts or overhanging abdominal folds. The cause of seborrhea is unknown,
although a yeast that often lives on the skin, Malassezia furfur, may play a
role.
One common manifestation of seborrhea that affects the scalp is dandruff. Scalp
seborrhea can also present as thick, flaky, localized patches of scale. On the
face, seborrhea produces reddish-brown, dry-looking, or thick, greasy scales on
the eyebrows, sides of the nose, and behind the ears. Reddish, scaly patches may
also appear in the folds of skin mentioned above. Although skin affected by
seborrhea may feel "dry," moisturizing only makes them redder.
Scalp seborrhea and dandruff do not cause permanent hair loss. Often, scalp
seborrhea doesn't even itch significantly. Seborrhea can appear during infancy,
starting shortly after birth and lasting several months. It may affect the scalp
("cradle cap") or produce scaly patches on the body. Adults of all ages may
develop seborrhea, too, especially on the scalp and face.
Some people who have weakened immune systems, such as those on chemotherapy or
those with HIV disease or certain neurological disorders, may have very severe
seborrhea. It is important to emphasize, however, that seborrhea is a very
common condition, affecting perhaps 5% of the population (with men
predominating). The vast majority of those who have it are completely healthy
and have no internal or immune problems.
What treatments are available for dandruff?
Treatment of seborrhea (dandruff) is directed at fighting the skin inflammation. This is done either directly, by using cortisone-based creams and l...
A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or under or inside the eyelid. A sty results from a localized infection of the glands or a hair follicle of the eyelid. The medical term for a sty is
hordeolum (plural, hordeola).
The term external hordeolum refers to a sty that develops at the base of an eyelash (the hair follicle), whereas the term
internal hordeolum refers to a sty that develops in a meibomian gland, a gland located on the underside of the eyelid that secretes an oily substance onto the eyeball.
A sty is sometimes confused with a chalazion (see below), which is a cyst or a specific type of scarring due to chronic inflammation arising in the meibomian glands of the eyelid. A chalazion may develop when the infection of a sty persists over time, resulting in scarring around the meibomian gland. In contrast to a sty, a chalazion is usually painless.

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a general term for many types of skin inflammation. The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis. The other forms of eczema include: contact eczema, seborrheic eczema, Nummular eczema, Neurodermatitis, stasis dermatitis, and dyshidrotic eczema. Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of eczema may vary from person to person and may depend on the type of eczema.
A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or on, inside, or under the eyelid, which is the result of an acute infection of the oil glands of the eyelid. Complications of a sty can be blepharitis and chalazion.
Head lice infection is called pediculosis. Lice are parasites that feed on blood and can be found on the scalp and hair of infected people. Signs and symptoms of head lice infestation include a tickling sensation, itching, and sores on the head. Head lice may be eliminated with various over-the-counter shampoos and washing all clothing and bed linens in the hot water cycle. Combs and brushes should be disinfected, and the floor and furniture should be vacuumed.
