Baby acne
WHAT is neonatal or baby acne? Neonatal acne is a very common rash found on babys cheeks during the first several months of life. It is caused by the hormonal stimulation of glands in the cheeks. This rash is usually not present at birth. It usually appears between two and four weeks of age. Not all babies get it but a large number do. The acne will be most prominent when your baby is upset or overheated (increased blood flow to the skin), or when his skin is irritated. If his skin comes into contact with cloth laundered in harsh detergents, or becomes wet from saliva or milk that he has spit up, the condition may appear worse for several days. Common symptoms of baby acne Baby acne, as with all medical conditions, has some common symptoms. Usually the acne first appears to be a rash with small pimples that are red in appearance.
Drug-company promotions under fire from consumer groups
WASHINGTON -- A free Viagra prescription or a no-cost trial of sleeping pills are examples of growing offers to US consumers, but regulators and critics worry about the side effects of pitching medicines as if they were soap. Drug makers say the coupons, rebates, and similar promotions reduce patient costs or provide a chance to try new medicines. Consumer groups, however, say the promotions may draw people to risky drugs they may not need, without long-term savings. Coupons ``can increase the patient's desire to take a drug that may or may not be the most suitable drug," said Susan Sherry, deputy director of Community Catalyst, a Massachusetts-based group that has joined 22 others seeking a Food and Drug Administration ban on the giveaways. The offers are appearing across the prescription drug business, trying to grab customers' attention in magazines and on websites.
