poor skin elasticity
Introduction
Introduction The skin is the largest organ in the human body. The total weight accounts for 5% to 15% of the body weight, and the total area is 1.5 to 2 square meters. The thickness varies from person to person and from 0.5 to 4 mm. The skin covers the whole body, and it protects various tissues and organs in the body from physical, mechanical, chemical and pathogenic microorganisms. The skin has two barrier functions: on the one hand, it prevents the loss of water, electrolytes and other substances in the body, and on the other hand prevents the intrusion of harmful substances from the outside. Maintaining the stability of the human body's environment, it plays an important protective role in the physiological, and the skin also participates in the metabolic process of the human body. There are several colors of skin (white, yellow, red, brown, black, etc.), which vary mainly depending on race, age and location. Poor skin elasticity is a skin problem such as cell elastic atrophy and skin accelerated aging.

Skin elasticity check: When checking, fold the skin into wrinkles by hand, then let go and observe how quickly the skin returns to its original state. When the skin is elastic, it will return to normal after the hand is pinched, and the wrinkles will last for a long time when the elasticity is reduced. If the skin position is reduced, it is not easy to restore the original condition. Poor skin elasticity is a skin problem such as cell elastic atrophy and skin accelerated aging. A positive test indicates that the patient has moderate or excess water shortage.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Angle plug: The angle plug consists of keratin, lipid and dust. The acne hair funnel is expanded, and the material filled with 0.5~3.0MM thick and 1.0~2.0MM long is the angle plug.
Skin crease: dermatolysis, also known as cutis laxa, or generalized elastolysis, a skin sagging disease caused by congenital defects in skin elastic fibers And can invade the whole body connective tissue, involving the normal structure and function of cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary and other organs. Usually divided into two types: innate and acquired.
Dry skin: dry skin refers to fine, thin skin, pores are not obvious, sebum secretion is less and uniform, no greasy feeling. The skin is dry and looks clean, delicate and beautiful. That is, dry skin, the skin's stratum corneum moisture is less than 10%, and the amount of sebum secretion is small, showing a wrinkle and dullness.
