| Posted: 19 Mar 2012 04:40 PM PDT For the average narcissist, Facebook "offers a gateway for hundreds of shallow relationships and emotionally detached communication," one expert says.

In a recent study of 100,000 apps in the official Google Play market, researchers noticed that more than half contained so-called ad libraries.

| Hormonal factors key to understanding acne in women Posted: 16 Mar 2012 07:12 AM PDT While teenagers are the age group most commonly thought to struggle with acne, dermatologists are finding that late-onset or adult-onset acne is becoming increasingly common in women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even 50s.  |
| Musicians at risk for common skin condition Posted: 16 Mar 2012 07:11 AM PDT Whether you play a musical instrument in your school band, as a weekend hobby, or as a professional, you may be at risk for a common skin condition. Contact dermatitis is characterized by a rash that can occur anywhere on the body (typically the hands and face in musicians) and is caused by something that comes into contact with the skin, which makes the skin become red, scaly and inflamed.  |
