Neurologist

A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the nervous system. Illnesses, disorders, and injuries that involve the nervous system often require a neurologist's management and treatment. Neurologists see patients with seizure disorders, strokes, multiple sclerosis, or headaches and migraines. To become a neurologist one must graduate from medical school, complete an internship, and receive three years of training in a neurology residency program. Because the nervous system is complex, a neurologist may specialize in a specific area such as headache medicine, neuromuscular medicine, or epilepsy. Neurologists usually work in hospitals. The average starting salary for a neurologist is $199,000.

The small holes in our skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin in which they produce an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal which is called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the follicle and out to the skin and when it clogs up, a pimple grows. Most pimples grow on the face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest. Acne develops when the hair, sebum and skin cells clump together causing bacteria in the clump to swell .
