One of my old science teachers in 2nd grade said that on her first day.

"You get a new wrinkle each time you learn something. At the end of the year you will all have very wrinkly brains."

Is there any research into this? Anything proven?

No, it’s not true. Your brain is pretty much the same shape as when you were born, it just gets a little bigger as you grow up.

The surface of the brain is where the cell bodies are, so the bigger surface area there is, the more cells. Human brains are wrinklier (generally speaking) than animal brains for this reason. However, cells are so tiny that gaining or losing several thousand isn’t going to change the shape of your brain at all.

I hate it when teachers make stuff up just to sound cute…some people don’t seem to realize that little kids are very literal-minded!

As if there weren’t enough reasons to stop smoking, researchers have just found another. A new study has clearly linked skin damage and rashes to smoking in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

I have 1.5 year old English female bulldog. She has a lot of wrinkles on her face which is good but it smells sometimes. I clean her wrinkle everyday with clean dry tissue. Some say mixture of water and vinegar is the best. Her left eye is always watery and tear comes up all the time. Doctor said her skin is very loose that’s why it bugs her eye, recommended a skin-cut surgery.Does any body help me to solve this issue?

A lot of bulldogs do end up needing a "facelift" so that they stop getting chronic yeast infections. And if the skin fold is rubbing against her eye, then you really need to get that done – her eye will start to scar if the skin and fur keep rubbing on it.

And if the "looseness" means that her eyelid is loose and baggy, then she does need an eyelift to help her eye – there isn’t any more you can do.

As for cleaning her skin, a dry tissue won’t do anything. You want something slightly acidic, like a vinegar solution, to help keep yeast (that’s what smells and makes red-brown stains inside the fold) from being able to grow. Your vet may sell a product called Malacetic Wipes – they are like baby wipes but they are formulated to help prevent yeast. They are perfect for smelly skin folds.

If your vet doesn’t have any other suggestions besides surgery for her eye, then you need to either do the surgery or take your bulldog to a veterinary ophthalmologist for a second opinion.

He has a really big face wrinkle that is very deep. It gets very dirty and stinky! Any suggestions?

I have a pug too so I know JUST what your talking about…I use non scented alcohol free baby wipes….they work great & dry fast so as not to leave behind mositure in the folds, which causes more bad smells

my pug doesnt have real deep folds so I only wash her face about evry other to every 3 days
but you may want to do it daily
