Because everything needs a sequel. In this episode we dig into Contact Dermatitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, and hit up our friend Nana to talk about what it’s like actually having dermatitis.

Anxiety, the big elephant in the room that the majority of us are scared to address.

Eczema! Turns out it’s the same thing as Dermatitis. And since ‘Derma’ means skin and ‘-itis’ means inflammation, that gives a pretty nice primer on what’s actually happening in this group of diseases. There are a LOT of types of this, but in this episode, we’ll be looking at the lowdown on what’s common for all types of eczema in general, and also the nitty gritty of Atopic Dermatitis. ~the Shownotes~ A very fun video explaining the complex immune chain reactions in a bit more detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQGOcOUBi6s The type of dominos we were talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0jeohWnmAQ A cool chart with photos explaining the difference between papules and pustules and wheals and all that kinda stuff (viewer discretion advised if ya get squicked out at this stuff) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5p6N9IWkAAIWzM.jpg The Main two sources we got our info from --Lookingbill and Marks' Principles of Dermatology 6th Edition --Dermatology: 2-Volume Set - 3rd Edition Where we got our info on the Historical stuff https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28709563/ (The History Of Atopic Dermatitis) https://www.atopika.org/en/atopic-dermatitis/the-history-of-atopic-dermatitis/ https://www.dermatologytimes.com/view/lessons-past https://practicaldermatology.com/articles/2014-dec/a-long-view-conceptions-of-atopic-dermatitis-through-the-ages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24925387/ (Atopic dermatitis/Atopic Eczema) https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/515376 (Evolution Of Atopic Dermatitis) https://www.karger.com/Book/Toc/261465 (History of Allergy) If you’re interested in reading the papers but find that they’re behind a paywall, here’s a cool video that might interest you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PriwCi6SzLo 𝒢𝓇𝑒𝑒𝒸𝑒 - https://dv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ގްރީސް (its funny but we also don’t want to rip on em, at least they started it so hey, good on them) Mdv Ambulance - 102 Mdv Police Victim Support Unit - 9770640 Where to find us elsewhere on the interwebs https://t.me/Paanfothi_Prod https://www.instagram.com/paanfothi_prod/ https://twitter.com/paanfothi_prod https://www.facebook.com/Paanfothi-Productions-103306331772627/
