    How do scars appear on Asian skin

    • With patches of hypo-pigmentation

    • With patches of hyper-pigmentation

    Correct Answer
    A. With patches of hyper-pigmentation
    Explanation
    Scars appear on Asian skin with patches of hyper-pigmentation. Hyper-pigmentation is the darkening of the skin due to an increase in melanin production. When the skin is injured or damaged, the body produces excess melanin in that area, resulting in a darker patch of skin. This is a common occurrence in Asian skin types and can be a result of various factors such as acne, burns, or surgical scars.

    • Ages quickly

    • Thin epidermis

    • Thick epidermis

    • Less melanin

    • More melanin

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Ages quickly
    A. Thin epidermis
    A. Less melanin
    Explanation
    The correct characteristics of a White Caucasian skin type are that it ages quickly, has a thin epidermis, and has less melanin. White Caucasian individuals tend to have a higher risk of developing premature signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. Their skin also has a thinner outer layer, making it more prone to damage and sensitivity. Additionally, White Caucasians have less melanin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation and protection against UV radiation.

    A. Dermatitis
    Explanation
    Dermatitis is a condition that can appear red, dry, and flaky, and it is often caused by an allergy. Dermatitis refers to inflammation of the skin, and it can result from contact with irritants or allergens. When an allergic reaction occurs, the skin may become red, dry, and flaky, leading to symptoms such as itching and discomfort.

    Which two conditions would be contra-indicated from body massage due to impaired or reduced sensitivity 

    • Diabetes

    • Asthema

    • Dysfunction of the nervous system - Parkinsons disease

    • Epilepsy

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Diabetes
    A. Dysfunction of the nervous system - Parkinsons disease
    Explanation
    Diabetes and dysfunction of the nervous system, specifically Parkinson's disease, would be contraindicated for body massage due to impaired or reduced sensitivity. In diabetes, reduced sensitivity can lead to a lack of awareness of pressure or temperature, increasing the risk of injury during massage. Parkinson's disease affects the nervous system and can result in reduced sensation, making it important to avoid massage techniques that could cause harm or discomfort.

Additionally, body massage improves muscular tone and range of movement by increasing blood flow to the muscles and promoting flexibility.
