Wrestling and Skin Disease
On March 12, the Grand Rapids Press had a story about a high school wrestler got disqualified because doctors thought that a dark spot on his chest was a skin disease. It was really a condition called hyperpigmentation, a condition that causes an area of skin that is darker than the surrounding skin. He was wrestling the whole season with the spot but was only disqualified for the championship fight. The officials went around the rules that say wrestlers don't need doctors to check the wrestlers before a match. If the spot isn't a skin disease and wrestled with it all season, I think he should have been allowed to continue.

What You Must Know
ReplyDelete• Always use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser (avoid bar soaps; they are too drying, can clog pores and cause skin to look ashy and feel dry).
• Always choose products that are appropriate for your skin type (i.e. gels and serums for oily or combination skin; creams and lotions for dry skin).
• Always use a well formulated sunscreen during the day (the most typical cause of uneven skin tone for women of color is sun damage).
• Always use products loaded with state-of-the-art ingredients including antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, and cell-communicating ingredients. . Skincare Collection
