The most common of the skin cancers, basal cell carcinoma, can appear as small bumps on the neck, chest, and head. Another skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, usually develops on the ear, face, lips, and the back of the hands. This type of skin cancer does destroy the normal skin tissues and has been known to spread to internal organs. Some other skin diseases are shingles, or Herpes Zoster. This is an inflammation of the nerve and is caused by the same virus as chicken pox.
Some early warnings are headaches, fatigue, and localized discomfort.
While shingles can occur in people of all ages, it seems to be more common among the older people. Featherstone has one product that contains all four of these substances plus aloe vera. This product, Neemu , has been found to be very effective for normal skin problems such as wrinkles, sun burns, cuts, and bruises, and is most helpful in fighting the skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Emu oil can be used to give the skin a more healthy look and feel. Check out our products page for more information about the Featherstone family of skin products.
