Many other women do not go to the spa but apply the beauty method at home according to word-of-mouth by pounding betel leaves and covering on the skin with pigmentation for 1 month. As a result, the melasma does not disappear, but many dark spots appear on the skin. These are just a few typical cases in many cases of complications due to improper and unsafe skin pigmentation. Melasma wrong treatment regimen, use of unknown cosmetic products, improper skin care in reputable cosmetic establishments, will be susceptible to side effects, risk of complications such as pain, reddened skin. itchy skin, swelling, itching, hyperpigmentation or hyperpigmentation, the skin becomes more sensitive, burns the skin … even bad scarring. Women have to undergo a long treatment process to restore damaged skin in about 3 months to 1 year. To treat melasma at the root, it is necessary to understand correctly about melasma Common causes of melasma include: Sunlight: Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun stimulates melanocytes. In fact, just a small amount of UV light can cause melasma to return after fading. This is why melasma is often darker in the summer. It is also the main reason why so many people experience melasma over and over again. Factors inside the body: it can be due to nutrition, genetics, endocrine disorders that promote the production of melanin under the skin. In addition, many cases of skin pigmentation of unknown cause. Skin care products: If using a product that irritates the skin, it can also worsen your melasma condition. Neoplasms of the skin (left) and dark spots due to improper treatment of melasma. Melasma treatment solutions Combination treatment of skin pigmentation: stop taking oral contraceptives; Use sunscreen when outdoors. Use mild bleach to wash and dry skin, use a mild moisturizer (if the skin is both chloasma and acne, it should not apply). Prevent the formation of new pigments with melanocytes inhibitors of melanin formation, including: hydroquinone 2 – 4% (for about 3 months), which can cause irritation and redness. Azelaic acid can be used long term, safe even during pregnancy, however, it can cause skin irritation. Using topical corticosteroids such as hydrocortisone can cause the spots to fade quickly, but are susceptible to side effects (skin atrophy, thinning of the skin). Other methods: Pigmentation removal method: Salicylic acid topical cream can be used, in addition, topical alpha hydroxyacids, including glycolic acid and lactic acid, can be used as peeling creams. Topical retinoids are also a solution, but there are side effects that can cause dermatitis and should not be used during pregnancy. Destruction of pigmentation with intense light: 10-20 weeks of treatment, but even those with good results, pigmentation may reappear when exposed to sunlight or due to endocrine disorders. What to do when the skin is pigmented? When melasma, the first task is to see a dermatologist to determine the cause and only when identifying the correct cause to cure it can treat all melasma. On the market today, there are not many melasma treatment products and do not bring real effects, and can not be used for most cases of melasma. When melasma, most women find ways to treat. However, the treatment of melasma is not an overnight and can be stopped immediately, but the effect comes very slowly, requiring persistence. Because it is difficult to identify the specific cause, the treatment of melasma is very difficult, time-consuming and needs to follow the instructions of a specialist. The quick whitening measures that women are often in a hurry to use can help temporarily remove melasma, but it is easy to risk the skin pigmentation coming back, even more severe and difficult to treat, the skin is also rough and poor vitality. Many women when going to the doctor have damaged their facial skin because of the wrong treatment of melasma on this particularly sensitive skin. Therefore, absolutely do not apply drugs or cosmetics according to the advice, do not know the origin. The chemicals used a lot in whitening cosmetics, anti-pigmentation … all contain strong detergents, maybe at first used bleached skin looks very beautiful, but used for a long time, increasingly skin being eroded, the young skin layer will appear, if you go to the sun, it is easy to get melasma. At the same time, the cream has a small amount of mercury, which can cause skin atrophy, if used for a long time, the skin of the face will become permanent. Absolutely do not use cosmetics, melasma drugs sold in the market but on the product packaging there is no ingredient listed. Many cases of permanent melasma because of using corticosteroid creams. As a result, the facial skin is atrophy, leading to nutritional disorders, loss of resistance, causing the skin to become more pigmented. In general, there is no method that can treat melasma quickly and effectively in the long term, if not combining solutions to avoid maximizing the treated skin area exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Wear a wide-brimmed hat when out in the sun and use sunscreen regularly to prevent sun damage to the skin.

Families should take the necessary safety measures to avoid unfortunate accidents to their children. According to the Westmead Children’s Hospital (CHW) in Australia, an average of 10 children are brought to CHW every year after falling from a balcony. Most of these children fall from their balconies, of which approximately 75% are under the age of five. Westmead Children’s Hospital provides care and treatment for 80,000 sick and injured children each year. This is the largest pediatric center in the state of New South Wales, Australia, with the capital city of Sydney; Child treatment in New South Wales, Australia and Pacific Rim countries. To protect children from unfortunate accidents from balconies, CHW has introduced balcony and railing safety recommendations. As defined by the CHW, a balcony is an area of ​​a building that is positioned higher than the ground. If the balcony is at a height of 1m above the ground, it must be surrounded (barrier) by a railing. A balcony railing as a guard or barrier is usually made of iron or wooden slats. Glass panels are also commonly used. How can children be injured at the balcony? Young children may get their heads, arms or legs stuck in between the gaps in the railing. Young children may fall over the gap between the railing if the distance between them is too large. The slightly older kids may slip or stumble over the balcony doorway and fall to the balcony floor. Children can also fall off the balcony if they can climb over the balcony railing. For example, horizontal bars on a railing can allow a child to climb over the railing. Items such as potted plants or outdoor furniture placed next to the railing can also be used as ladders for children to climb. According to CHW statistics, an average of 10 children are brought to this hospital every year after falling from a balcony. Most of these children fall from their balconies. Of the children brought to the CHW, approximately 75% are under the age of five, 40% occur in the summer, and three out of every five cases that are taken to the hospital are boys. During the period 2008-2018, 88 children were taken to CHW for treatment due to a fall from the balcony. A large number of those injuries are rated serious. Fall injuries, even from low heights, can be serious; “40% of fatal falls, among children under 15 years old in Australia, are from a height of less than 3 feet (91.44cm). Corridor windows on each floor are also potentially unsafe if precautions are not taken. How to prevent accidents from the balcony? Australia’s National Building Act requires balcony balustrades to be at least 1m high if the balcony is more than 1m above the surface below. Any space in the handrail should not allow a circular object 12.5cm in diameter to pass through. Where balconies are located more than 4 meters above the lower surface, the barriers must not have horizontal sections or resemble horizontal (climbable) sections between 15cm and 76cm above floor. According to CHW, to ensure the safety of children, families need to ensure that their family’s balcony or railing is at least 1m high and the distance between vertical bars is not wider than 12.5cm. Balcony balustrades should not have cross bars or the like that can allow young children to climb. All furniture, potted plants and other climbable objects should be kept away from the edge of the balcony. Adults should also beware of furniture that is light enough that children can pull to the edge of the balcony; Check the balustrades regularly to make sure they are in good condition; Supervise children while they are on the balcony and can lock the balcony doors to keep them out. In Vietnam, nowadays, one of the most popular ways to keep children safe from unfortunate balconies is to install safety nets. Especially in high-rise apartments, areas such as corridors of each floor, balconies, windows are places with potential risks of unsafety. The balcony safety net is made up of three main parts: the cable, two aluminum bars and the screws. The stainless steel core cables and plastic shells will be woven into a specialized aluminum bar system that is tightly mounted on the ceiling and railing. The usual distance between two cables is 5cm. This distance is enough to prevent children and many objects from getting through. The cost of installing safety net ranges from 150,000 VND to 180,000 VND / 1m2, depending on the installation area and materials. Answering questions of people related to the installation of safety cable nets in apartments, the Ho Chi Minh City Fire Department said: “The installation and supplementation of protective cable nets at the department The building does not affect the fire safety conditions of the building, however, these protective cable nets must be easily dismantled in case the fire department is approached. to serve the rescue and rescue work in case of fire and explosion incidents “. The safety net has a fairly simple structure, the installation cost is not too high and provides great support in ensuring safety for families in apartments or high-rise buildings, especially families with young children. Families should take the necessary safety measures to avoid unfortunate accidents to their children.
