What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is a condition where gastric juices containing acid travel back from the stomach into the esophagus (gullet or swallowing tube).

Symptoms of acid reflux include:

• Heartburn (a burning feeling rising from the stomach or lower chest up towards the neck).


• Regurgitation (bringing food back up into the mouth).


• Chest pain.


• Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).


• Hoarseness, dental erosion and asthma (because acidic juices can make their way into the throat, mouth and air passages of the lungs).

What are Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks are lines on the skin that start off as raised red lines. They then turn purple, before slowly fading into flat silvery streaks. The medical name for this type of mark is stria. Stretch marks happen when the skin is stretched a lot over a short period of time, such as during pregnancy.The skin is made up of three parts: the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the subcutaneous (inner layer), where fatty tissue is stored.

The dermis helps to support the skin and keep it firm. It also contains blood vessels that supply skin cells with nutrients, and nerve cells that give us feeling. Stretch marks occur in the dermis.

The dermis is made up of strong fibres that connect to each other and allow the skin to stretch as we grow. Over time, these small fibres become thinner and less elastic (stretchy), and some of them break.

Where the fibres break, the skin becomes thinner, and these areas show as stretch marks. When the skin is stretched thinly, the blood vessels under the surface show through, which is why stretch marks look reddish in colour.

What is acne?


Acne is a very common skin disorder that most young people get in early puberty.
It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands (sebaceous glands) that surround the fine hairs on the face and chest.

The severity of acne increases and, typically, reaches its peak around the ages of 17 to 19.
For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their mid-20s; however, very sensitive people may continue to have the disorder until they reach their 40s.
