| Landmark Survey Uncovers Reasons Why Women Are Not Able to Properly Address Their Skin Care Issues
The condition of a woman's skin has a serious impact on her self-esteem, according to results from a new landmark skin care survey announced today sponsored by Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMPI - News), a leader in physician-dispensed topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems. The survey, entitled "Women and Skincare: A Quest For Real Results," was developed to identify women's attitudes, behaviors and desires when it comes to skin health. Further, even though the majority of respondents feel a skin care professional is the best source for skin care information, they continue to seek solutions without the advice of a medical skincare professional. The majority of women (84%) have at least one issue with their skin. This peaks among women in their 40s, who report having four skin care issues.

Pregnant discharge
JEAN (not her real name) is happily expecting her first child. She is five months pregnant and the pregnancy is smooth sailing so far. I got a distress call from her wanting to see me urgently. I obliged. I have this vaginal discharge that started last night, she complained. Did you have to wear a pad? I asked. Yes, but only just the one, was her reply. I was alarmed. Did it feel like something warm streaming down your thighs? No was her prompt reply. Why are you asking me all these questions, Doc? she inquired with justification. I told her that I wanted to make sure that it was not a burst water-bag. How can you confirm that? she asked. Well, I will have to do an internal examination of the vagina and see for myself.
Learning Cuts, Curls And Colors
Like most teenage girls, Brittany Taylor, 18, likes fixing hair and applying makeup. She especially likes doing it with her friends throughout the schoolday without getting into trouble with the teacher. That's because Taylor is one of 120 students enrolled in East Bay High School's cosmetology program. "I enjoy working with color and makeup," Taylor said. "They give me the chance to show my creativity." In the program for three years, Taylor, a senior, is working part time at Hair Carvers in Apollo Beach as an apprentice with Katrina Langford, who graduated from East Bay in 1992. "I am getting her ready to work on the floor," Langford said. "When she graduates from high school, gets her license and completes our apprentice program, she'll get her own chair in the salon." Participating in a high school cosmetology training program gives students a great advantage, teacher Rebecca Zink said.
