A new study reveals that several human diseases including skin lesions can be treated by applying bioelectrical impulses. The study was published in the special issue of the journal Bioelectricity.The technique, Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS), functions by delivering nanosecond pulsed electric fields to tissues and cells. The technique specifically targets cells that generate nanometer wide pores and facilitate the entry of small ions that alter the flow the sodium, potassium, and calcium icons inside and outside of the cell.This can induce death of the cell in the case of dermal lesions and since it does not affect the dermal collagen it does not result in scarring. In the study, Dr Richard Nuccitelli discussed the characteristics of NPS, its effects on epidermal lesions, on dermal lesions, on warts and on normal skin.A similar technique of regulating ion channel was also used for rescuing tadpoles from the effects of alcohol. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health.Bacterial skin infections often begin as small, red bumps that slowly increase in size. Some bacterial infections are mild and easily treated with topical antibiotics, but other infections require an oral antibiotic.These types of skin infections are caused by a fungus and are most likely to develop in damp areas of the body, such as the feet or armpit. These types of skin infections are caused by a parasite. These infections can spread beyond the skin to the bloodstream and organs.The symptoms of a skin infection also vary depending on the type. Common symptoms include redness of the skin and a rash. You may also experience other symptoms, such as itching, pain, and tenderness. See a doctor if you have pus-filled blisters or a skin infection that doesn’t improve or gets progressively worse. Skin infections can spread beyond the skin and into the bloodstream.
