skin & microbes

What would I'll be babbling this time...?

Still small bit of skin - some, but not all know that our skin also has it's own living thing - I might guess those who read this will first think out lices, mites >.almost correct, but not these giants - they are smaller. They take care of our skin in their own ways.

Without them, our skin could having problem being attacked by other 'invaders'.

Also, if their population is overload could also bring to problem - they invade us instead, causing fever, or worst, death (yes, I mean it - doctors will called it as 'shock' due to a bacteria colony called "Staphylococcus aureus".. ( reader: is this fact has something wrong with the content?! ). Easy example is acne - it is found out that a colony called Propionibacterium acne contribute to acne formation. Acne actually created from white head pimple.

In normal skin (including palm (tapak tangan), soles (tapak kaki), & scalp (kepala)), there'sStaphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium, Peptococcus, & even yeast called Candida albican(actually there's several of them, but I guess lots of website can inform better). They have different living area - some really on the surface, some even in the skin.

Before that, colony here is equal to race in human being. While human has many kinds of races, so do microbs.

too little on carcinoma...?

uah... now comes to case on carcinoma. There are specific part of body, with specific environment, will 'nourish' the cancer cell to grow. How?
Cell growth actually has it's limit. When the cell is not in perfect condition, the cell itself will burst itself with the command from it's inner self (the nucleus). If the inner self was destroid/modified/imperfect, the cell cannot kill itself, & has to go on. It will contribute to make more imperfect cells, causing the structure seen with naked eye become imperfect (either there's a lump, blackened,..).

will continue later. Kinda tired..

skin

It's been a while I'm out of ideas what to write.

Didn't realise that skin is actually the biggest organ in human body. It can protect from 'enemies' as small as the virus to as big as an elephant(>.uhm, not only that the skin itself is the physical barrier, it also has it's own soldier (known as Langerhan cells), & soldier in disguise (the keratinocyte, which made out our skin also make a substance that involve in skin protection) (hah?!)

But the skin has it's limit.. It cannot hold on (like iron man or superman) external injuries that will kill the cells of skin, such as fire.. This is where burn injury comes in. Just like burning the paper, skin will also become black! But skin has it's own programme to regenerate. It's not an easy job, though - first it has to recruit all unit of developer & not all developer can attend at the same time. Some need to be call using 2nd messenger, some need to undergo severel procedure, ... Those who arrive first will gather themself & done their work - 'piling', 'knitting', 'building the pillar', 'make the cement', 'stack the bricks'. Depend on the depth & area of damage, it takes time to complete the temporary skin. If the damage area are not so deep, the skin cells will able to make a new skin & replace the area like nothing is happen. But if the area was quite large, & really deep & heavy damage, the skin cell still replace it but the effect is still there.. we know it as 'scar'..
