Pus, the fluid inside a pustule, is largely made up of?
- A.
Sebum
- B.
Dead white blood cells
- C.
Living bacteria
- D.
Red blood cells
Correct Answer
B. Dead white blood cellsExplanation
The fluid inside a pustule, known as pus, is largely made up of dead white blood cells. Pus is formed as a result of the immune system's response to infection or inflammation. White blood cells, specifically neutrophils, are the first responders to an infection and they accumulate at the site to fight off the invading bacteria. As they die in the process, they release enzymes that break down tissue and form pus. Therefore, dead white blood cells are the main component of pus.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Used to rebalance the skin's pHExplanation
Toners are used to rebalance the skin's pH. Our skin's natural pH is slightly acidic, and using cleansers or other products can disrupt this balance. Toners help to restore the pH level, ensuring that the skin is in its optimal state. This can help to minimize the appearance of pores, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health. Toners are typically alcohol-free, as alcohol can be drying and irritating to the skin. While toners can be beneficial for all skin types, they are especially recommended for those with dry skin as they can provide additional hydration and nourishment.Rate this question:

What is the technical term for blackhead?
- A.
Ostium
- B.
Closed comedo
- C.
Open comedo
- D.
Couperose
Correct Answer
C. Open comedoExplanation
The technical term for a blackhead is an open comedo. A blackhead is a type of acne lesion that occurs when a hair follicle becomes clogged with oil and dead skin cells. In an open comedo, the clogged pore remains open to the surface, allowing the trapped material to oxidize and turn black. This is in contrast to a closed comedo, also known as a whitehead, where the pore is closed and the trapped material does not oxidize. "Ostium" and "couperose" are not the correct technical terms for a blackhead.Rate this question:

A sun protection factor (SPF) of _______ or higher is considered to be adequate strength for daily use?
- A.
30
- B.
50
- C.
15
- D.
8
Correct Answer
C. 15Explanation
An SPF of 15 or higher is considered to be adequate strength for daily use because it provides a moderate level of protection against the sun's harmful UVB rays. SPF 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays, while higher SPFs provide slightly more protection. However, it's important to note that SPF only measures protection against UVB rays and not UVA rays, which can also cause skin damage. Therefore, it's recommended to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays for optimal sun protection.Rate this question:

The use of isotretinoin, an oral cystic acne medication, causes what side effect?
- A.
Hardening of the skin
- B.
Lightening of the skin
- C.
Peeling of the skin
- D.
Thinning of the skin
Correct Answer
D. Thinning of the skinExplanation
Isotretinoin is known to cause thinning of the skin as a side effect. This medication is commonly used to treat severe cystic acne and works by reducing the production of oil in the skin. Thinning of the skin occurs because isotretinoin decreases the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and thickness to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes more fragile and prone to injury, making it thinner and more susceptible to damage.Rate this question:
