- ColonoscopyHave you been told that you should be screened for colon cancer? Colon cancer can be prevalent among people aged fifty or over. If you are over fifty, you should be screened for colon cancer at least once every decade. A gastroenterologist can complete a colonoscopy to detect any colon cancer early and ensure that treatment starts early enough to achieve the best outcome. In addition to a colonoscopy, a gastroenterologist might also talk to you about blood tests or a sigmoidoscopy.

- EczemaThis skin disorder is usually referred to as eczema. It affects people of all ages ranging from children to the elderly. Eczema is characterised by skin that is dry and itchy. Over time, the skin may start to look scaly. Moreover, constant scratching of the affected areas may cause the skin to become thicker. A false assumption some people have is that eczema only manifests itself as an allergic reaction. The truth is that although eczema has been known to be common in people who have allergies, the allergies themselves are not the cause. Instead, this skin disorder is hereditary. Although eczema is not curable, symptoms can be managed with the use of topical ointments.
