Dermatologist urges people to wash these body parts more
A dermatologist has gone viral on TikTok for sharing body parts you should be washing more. In a clip that's racked up over 3.3 million views, Lindsey Zubritsky (@dermguru) kickstarts with the ears. She said if you have "an odour" when you place your finger behind your ears, you need to be washing that area more. If not, "flaking and dandruff" can build up and make the skin situation much worse. Up second is the belly button. Lindsey states that it "is a super common area to collect sweat, debris, dirt buildup," before sharing a gruesome image of a "navel stone" if you begin to neglect your belly button. The dermatologist then urges people to really take care of their nails. "When you’re showering, you really need to get under those nails with a scrub brush to get rid of the dirt, debris, and buildup," she told viewers. She went on to explain that these common areas are at risk of carrying MRSA, a group of difficult-to-treat infections in humans. @dermguru Think twice next time you take a shower #showertok #skintips #hygienetips #dermguru #staph #mrsa #skininfection #folliculitis #dermexplains#greenscreen Inevitably, the clip was inundated with fellow TikTok users, with one writing: "Absolutely blows my mind people aren’t scrubbing the nails, esp long ones. Just get a cheap toothbrush and scrub with soap. Every day!" Another confused user asked: "Wait who isn’t cleaning these areas?" A TikTok user, who claimed to work as a nurse, added: "I can confirm many people DO NOT clean their belly buttons enough." Meanwhile, a fellow TikToker wrote "wait who isn’t cleaning these areas," to which Lindsey responded: "Momma knows best."

Lawmakers could allow audio between referees and VARs to be available live
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has raised the prospect of the game’s lawmakers examining whether audio between referees and VARs should be available live. Miscommunication between VAR Darren England and referee Simon Hooper led to a Luis Diaz goal for Liverpool at Tottenham being wrongly disallowed last month, leading to further calls for such conversations to be played out in real time. The incident caused huge controversy, with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp even calling for the match to be replayed. Broadcasting the conversations between on-field officials and VARs live is currently prohibited under football’s laws. Bullingham, who is a director at the International Football Association Board (IFAB) which has the power to change the game’s laws, said the organisation had discussed the subject but added: “Generally there is a split in the room over that, and quite often it is between the marketing and commercial people and the referees. “Our point of view, from the marketing and commercial perspective, would normally be that transparency is a really good thing, and we want fans to have the maximum experience.” Bullingham said an ongoing FIFA trial where referees announce and explain the outcome of an on-field review is a “step in the right direction” but added: “My personal point of view is I do think (live audio) will continue to be a question over time, because the greater transparency shows how difficult the referee’s job is, and it has worked in other sport. “There is an understandable nervousness from others that the referee’s job is hard enough as it is. In a tournament you have referees with multiple languages, so it is not as straightforward as some might suggest. “So I think we are taking a step in the right direction with announcing the decision and explaining why it has been reached. Let’s see if that leads to further progression.” Bullingham’s Irish FA counterpart and fellow IFAB director Patrick Nelson spoke more cautiously on the VAR decision-making process, adding: “We just need to see more evidence on this at the moment. “It’s interesting when we look at recent examples but we still need to remember that VAR as an entire concept is relatively in its infancy compared to the game of football and compared to IFAB. There is still more that we can learn.” The PA news agency understands the IFAB is set to open up the trial of in-stadium announcements by referees beyond FIFA events to other interested competitions. The IFAB may also look again at the wording of Principle 10 in the VAR protocol, which currently prevents VARs from revisiting a decision once play has restarted and meant the officials could not call play back after the Diaz error. It could be updated to allow a decision to be revisited where a clear mistake has occurred, and where no significant action has taken place since play restarted. Bullingham also said he was aware IFAB had been asked to consider widening the scope of VAR to rule on decisions such as corner kick and free-kick awards. “I think we would be really reluctant to have a game that was stopped a lot more than it currently is, but that will be a proper discussion,” he added. VAR interventions are currently limited to goals, penalties, straight red cards and mistaken identity.
