@rcgp @MHRAgovuk I have noticed an increasing number of patients being put on Dermol 500 which contains an emerging allergen Benzalkonium chloride. Please can you notify primary care to review and rethink the practice?

This is the outcome of over moisturising your face. A change in bacterial flora in the red areas that trigger an immunological response leading to PERIORAL DERMATITIS. We will discuss how to moisturise your face later

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

Are you moisturising the face equally throughout all areas of it? Look at this study highlighting differences in bacterial populations that live on our facial skin and how vivid and diverse it is from area to area. You wouldn't water your garden and the pond equally would you?

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@ced_journal @BritishDermDocs @HealthySkin4All No evidence behind the description of the symptoms for someone claiming to put a name for age old well known fact. Recognising severe eczema and tackling it by hitting it hard is the best way forward overall. Terminology such is this diverts attention away from important facts

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@NewsWireLK Oh dear. He needs a help by the sounds of it

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@harshap @dasunshanaka1 @ManoSeky Surely he is better off spending time in the nets. Setting an example to the youngsters. Can the journalists give us a synopsis of how our players are preparing and who is working hardest?

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@BrJDermatol Didn't actually have to do a trial to know that. Clinical experience should tell certain things to a clinician. Well done for doing it though

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@madunil @RexClementine Kusal is not a captain. Dimuth is the likely man at this important eleventh hour or DDS but he has to bat up the order. Asalanka could take over from Dimuth in a year or two

@madunil @Sanath07 If something like this happened at work we will be dismissed immediately. There is absolutely zero professionalism in SLC

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@madunil @NewsWireLK Humiliation

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@madunil @aruwij It's time we stop doing this. Question the maha Sangha!?

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@Angelo69Mathews If you held that catch at that moment 😜

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@mrcgp @bmj_latest @DermTimesNow @GPNewsMedia24 It's time to open the minds to Tinea incognito!!

Compare the recoil and loss of elasticity with normal skin. Signifies the sclerosis. ESR usually very high compared to CRP unlike in cellulitis.

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

Sclerosing panniculitis of lower limbs commonly misdiagnosed as cellulitis requires a multipronged intervention eg anti inflammatory, compression and skin care regimen. Can reduce a lot of unnecessary antibiotic. @VenousNews @vasculardis @mrcgp @bmj_latest @HealthySkin4All

@hash_lk @OfficialSLC And it's time for him to leave as he has failed umpteen times as a batter!

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@cric_blog But why did he throw it at the stumps if the batter was still in the crease? Typical of Oz. Would have noticed a pattern of behaviour and discussed it before and probably planned take him down this way. Cheap cricket........not worthy to watch

[Vinod Elangasinghe @VElangasinghe]

@Mickeyarthurcr1 That's not out. That's called grassing the ball.
