"Pityriasis rosea is a skin disease that is common in the general population and over the last several years has become known as the Christmas tree rash. A lot of people are familiar with rosacea, a chronic, incurable skin condition characterized by red blotches on the face, but pityriasis rosea isn’t as well known. Like rosacea, pityriasis rosea is a skin problem that produces red patches. Rosea comes from the Latin word, meaning rose colored. This is where the similarities end. Pityriasis rosea is most commonly on the back, chest or neck and tends to peel off in tiny scales. Pityriasis is the Greek word for bran. In this case, the bran is the flake of skin from the lesions that peel or fall off the skin." Bel Marra Health More info

Very few know about the Internal Revenue Service Form 990. If you ever have someone ask you to donate to some cause you probably have your pat answer ready. My pat answer is, ‘I never give donations to anyone without reviewing Form 990.’ The solicitor pauses and doesn’t say anything. I then ask, ‘Do you know what Form 990 is?’ They invariably say no. I then, say ‘educate yourself what IRS Form 990 is.’ I then can hang up. If the solicitor does know what this form is, I say send a copy to me and, of course, they rarely do. They usually hang up or try someone else. So if you don’t know, Form 990 is the form the Internal Revenue Service requires non profit organizations to file and is available to the public to review. This is helpful information that explains how the non profit spends its money. In 2014, a new wrinkle has appeared. Before this non profits were never required to divulge who donates to the non profit organization. Now they do if they receive more than $50,000 in donations. The chief reason I know about Form 990 is I am the director of the RRDi, a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization. I first learned about Form 990 when I read my first one, the 1998 Form 990 for the National Rosacea Society (NRS) which was an eye opener for me. I never realized that non profit organizations can make a lot of money without actually doing anything good or very little goes to the ‘good’ they are promising. I wrote about this here. Every year I post to the public a yearly review of the NRS Form 990 and this year is no exception. Here are the results of reviewing it: NRS Form 990 for 2014 The Facts Total Receipts $695,013 Schedule B Schedule of Contributors Part 1 1. Galderma $383,000 2. Miscellaneous Contributions under 5,000 - $88,546 3. Biersdorf, Inc - $38,215 4. L’oreal - $5,000 5. Bayer - $126,500 Total $641,261 Part X Balance Sheet total assets $312,247 Expenses Line 18. $615,823 Form 990 Part VII Compensation of Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, etc. Samuel B. Huff $105,420 Mary F. Erhard $39,962 Total $145,382 (21%) Section B Independent Contractors Glendale $326,505 Park $65,463 Total $391,968 (56%) Part 9 Statement of Functional Expenses 1. Grants $42,544 (6%) Part X Balance Sheet Total liabilities $40,593 Schedule A Public Charity Status and Public Support Section C Computation of Public Support Percentage 14. Public Support percentage for 2014 total 29.1% 17a 10%-facts-and-circumstances test 2014 Box is Checked Part VI explains why the NRS claims yes to line 17a Comments If you review above, the NRS took in $695K in donations. Total expenses amounted to $615K. The NRS spent on rosacea research $42,544 which is 6% of the total donations received in 2014. What this means is that for every dollar donated to the NRS 6 cents is spent on rosacea research. The rest is spent on other stuff. What stuff, you may ask? First off the president and the secretary received $145K which is 21% of the donations. There were two independent contractors that received $391K which is 56% of the donations. Both of these two independent contractors are owned by the president of the NRS. That makes up 83% of the expenses. If you take about fifteen minutes you can see for yourself where the last 17% was spent. The NRS paints a rosy picture of how it spends donated funds here. But Form 990 paints a different picture, which is more accurate. Why not read for yourself what I just reported?

Sofia Vergara image courtesy of wikipedia Dr. Dendy Engelman shares that Vergara had this photo facial applied to her face, neck and chest twice over the course of the 10 weeks. Additionally, because Engelman says her client is “prone to rosacea,” she also treated Vergara’s whole face with a Pulsed Dye Laser, which targets redness and inflammation.
