Trigger Finger

Image
Trigger finger or can be called inflammation of the finger joints is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and the sensation of locking when bending or straightening a finger. This condition is also known as ‘stenosing tenosynovitis’ which usually occurs most often on the ring finger and thumb, but also does not rule out attacking other fingers. In people who have trigger fingers reported by the American Academic of Orthopedic Surgeon, the pulley at the base of the thumb is inflamed or thickened. So it is difficult for the flexor tendons to pass through when the fingers are bent. Sometimes patients also have to use the other hand to straighten their fingers. The initial symptoms of a trigger finger can include: Pain attached to the base of the thumb or other fingers Lumps around the base of the finger or near the palm of the hand A click on the finger Finger stiffness If the patient does not immediately get treatment, symptoms of trigger finger can develop more severe.

Now that everyone and their grandmother is obsessed with sheet masks, another K-beauty innovation is popping up everywhere: acne patches.

With all this in mind, we rounded up s...

Your Lip Balm Doesn’t Work?

By now, you’re well aware that the key to beautiful lipstick is keeping your lips healthy and hydrated underneath. That’s far easier said than done in the winter, though, when cold and bitter weather whisks in and zaps the hydration from our faces. For that reason, there’s probably a  lip balm  in your pocket or bag at this very moment. You might consider it your lord and savior when a pesky flake or crack rears its ugly head, but I have some bad news: Certain lip balm ingredients can actually contribute to chapping. Ever re-apply a lip balm all week long, then realize later that your lips are still chapped and it makes absolutely no sense? Or experienced a minor lip rash after switching balm brands? According to experts, it might be an irritant or something you’re allergic to keeping you in chapped-lip purgatory. We asked a crop of dermatologists to explain what those ingredients are, if and how you should avoid them, and why they’re even there in the first pla...
