if they smell certain food's like
eggs or fish, and others by com-
ing in contact with the hair lo-
tion or perfume of a spouse! It
is known that an allergic man
or woman may have an allergic
child, and if both are sensitive,
the chances that their off-spring
will be sensitive are even great-
er.
A dermatologic problem es-
pecially grave in Texas is that
of skin cancer. Doctors in the
state who discuss with their
colleagues in other regions how
much skin cancer they see and
treat are accused politely of tell-
ing another “Texas tall tale,”
one Texas physician has remark-
ed.
One forerunner of skin can-
cer is called “keratosis.” By this
is meant a thickened patch like
a wart or callous appearing on
the skin. Scientists have deter-
mined that people in the follow-
ing categories are most likely to
be affected with keratosis, and
if several or all of these factors
are present, the chances of get-
ting skin cancer are increased:
(1) those engaged in outdoor oc-
cupations and therefore exposed
to the sun’s rays, (2) those with
blue eyes and blond or ruddy
complexions, more especially
men, (3) those in older age
groups (40 years and older), (4)
those in geographical regions
getting relatively longer hours of
sunshine with little dust or
moisture, such as Texas and the
Southwest, and (5) those work-
ing with irritating substances
which are generally considered
to be cancer-producing (soot, tar,
pitch, crude petroleum).
Other conditions which per-
haps may lead to cancer are
moles, warts, burn scars, chronic
ulcers, growths which constantly
rubbed, which bleed, or which
change size or color, or other
skin sores that refuse to heal.
Because the forerunners of
skin cancer (and skin cancer
itself) can be easily seen and
easily treated, there is no rea-
son to be overfearful of this con-
dition unless there is too long a
delay in seeking medical atten-
tion. Although the danger that
skin cancer following keratosis
may spread to other parts of the
body (metastasis) is not great,
early treatment guards against
this possibility and in addition
prevents too much scarring at
the original site. Treatment may
be by radium, surgery, or X-ray.
The physician will decide upon
the method of treatment ac-
cording to the kind of growth
present.

“Well, scratch my back, and
call me allergic!”
Being allergic is no joke. Al-
lergy. is defined as being sensi-
tive to a substance touched, eat-
en, or breathed and may take
the form of a skin “rash,” hay
fever, asthma, an upset stom-
ach, or headache.
The allergic patient may be
treated by his family doctor, or
if his case is especially com-
plex, may need the services of a
dermatologist or allergist. A der-
matologist is a skin expert, and
an allergist specializes in the
diagnosis and treatment of any
allergy, whether it involves the
skin, the food tract, or the res-
piratory system.
Regardless of what doctor tac-
kles the problem of allergy, he
must try to find out the offend-
ing substance and remove it
from the patient’s diet or sur-
roundings. This may be easier
said than done. Sometimes a
careful history of the patient’s
life and habits must be taken,
numerous skin tests carefully
done and interpreted, and close
observation of the patient car-
ried out. In the case of foods, a
rigid diet may be necessary.
When basic food substances like
milk, eggs, and wheat are con-
cerned, the patient sometimes
can be made less sensitive to
these foods.
It is amazing the kinds of ma-
terials that can cause allergies.
Patients may be sensitive not
only to one food but a group
such as the entire bean family.
Contact dermatitis is a condition
in which the skin shows sensi-
tivity to something touching it;
the condition has been caused
by such commonplace things as
face powder, leather, or rubber
and by such rare ones as strike-
anywhere matches or paint fin-
ishes on paring knives or toilet
seats. Extrasensitive patients
have been known to break out
