_ --`J \J AGE SPOTS. What they are: Small, flat or slightly raised dark areas made up of a high concentration
of pigment (melanin) plus an overgrowth of skin cells. Age spots appear most frequently on backs of
hands and on face and are caused by cumulative exposure to the sun. What to do about them: The best
measure here is a preventative one. Protect hands and face with a sunscreen at all times, and try to limit
sun exposure between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M., when ultraviolet rays are strongest. If you are already plagued
by age spots, they can sometimes be lightened by rubbing with a lemon slice or by dabbing with a cotton
swab dipped in either full-strength peroxide or a solution of half water, half chlorine bleach. Spots may
also respond to an at-home bleaching paste made by mixing full-strength bleaching peroxide with
magnesium carbonate to a paste consistency. Apply paste to spots, allow to dry for several hours, rinse
with water. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. If these measures do not have satisfactory
results, see a dermatologist. He/she may remove them with cryotherapy, a light freezing technique that

w- `usJ BOILS. What they are: Hard, red, inflamed, painful lumps on or under the skin. They occur most
frequently on neck, breasts, face and buttocks and are usually caused by a staph germ infection. What to
do about them: May respond to moist heat, such as a hot, wet washcloth or compress applied every hour or
so. Do not Lance. If very painful or grouped into a cluster and filled with pus, see a physician.—Gary
Brauner, M.D.
—BRITTLE NAILS (also weak nails). What they are: Fragile nails that break easily may be a result of
poor general nutrition, possibly a lack of daily adequate protein intake. They may also be hereditary.
What to do about them: Contrary to recent suspicions, gelatin doer help strengthen nails. New research
indicates that taking three to four teaspoons of plain, unflavored, powdered gelatin per day results in
stronger nails in about four to five weeks. Why gelatin effectively promotes stronger nails is still

-b.- V CALLUSES. What they are: A general thickening and buildup of dead skin tissue which is usually
brought on by chronic irritation. Usually develop on feet from friction of poorly fitted shoes, but can
form on other parts of the body (i.e., hands) where there is constant friction. Calluses are not painful
because pressure is spread over a large area. What to do about them: To avoid callus build-up, find shoes that
are the right shape and size for your feet, so there is no friction. In cases where a deformed foot is the
problem, shoes with uppers that can be easily stretched to conform co the shape of the foot should be
selected. To remove calluses, wet area thoroughly, then rub with a pumice stone or callus file. Repeat
necessary. Resistant cases can be painlessly scraped away by a podiatrist.—Rob Roy McGregor, D.P.M.
