Is it normal for the area around your belly button piercing to be dark and raised?
I have been searching for an answer to this as well because I am pregnant (30 weeks) and have the same thing... Please let me know if you have found any info, I will continue to search and if I find anything I will keep you posted. Helen Chapman (helendavies@webmail.co.za) I am 8 months pregnant and about 4 moths along I started getting a dark line all the way down the middle of my belly from just under my breasts all the way to the bottom of my belly.

It is called the linea nigra (black line)

What is a circle rash that doesn't itch?
Sounds like it could be ring worm. I'd have it checked by a doctor to know for sure. It could just be an irritation that happens to be in a circle.
AnswerIt is probably a ringworm; however, you should see your doctor and get some medication. AnswerDon't waste your money on a doctor. Just go to your local pharmacy and ask him what he thinks it is and and see if he can give you something over the counter for it. Most Pharmacist know just as much as doctors. AnswerIf the center is clear and it is a ring shape and has bad itching it probably is ringworm. The old and proven remedy is to soak a cottonball in Clorox Bleach. Thoroughly soak the area let dry leave it on a while. This does burn, but 1 time should be enough to smother the worm. AnswerRingworm is not a worm. It is a fungal infection slightly under the skin. Do not use bleach on your body, it's for your clothes or cleaning up disgusting things on floors or counters. Go buy some antifungal over the counter medication. if problem persists, consult your doctor. AnswerAs a retired cosmetologist & instructor, & mother of 2 sets of now adult twins and a 13 yr old as well, I think I might be able to help on the ringworm thing. It is a fungal infection, but from my experience and I have had plenty of it, over the counter medicines don't work, especially if it has already developed the full ring, for every over the counter med you continue to try and every home remedy you try, it will continue to get larger and larger, and as it does, it does damage to the skin tissue, nails (if involved), and especially any hair folicles. The only true treatment I have ever found successful, included antibiotic creams with INTERNAL Prescription Medication/antibiotics at the same time. (Depending on it's severity, and strain, it can in some cases require medications that use poisons in which cases the blood / medication levels of the patient have to be monitored closely. Getting a correct diagnosis and correct treatment is best done through a dermatologist not a regular MD. I have had one of my children end up with minor permanent damage to hair follicles, and hair no longer grows where the infection occurred, thankfully it was an underneath area, don't wait to seek out a doctor to find out for sure the sooner it's treated, the less complicated the treatment needs to be- if it's treated both internally and externally at the same time.I agree with the above statement except treating it with an antibiotic. Antibiotics are only for bacteria. Since it was stated that ringworm is caused by a fungus, antibiotics may further worsen the problem. However, one fungus is treated by antibiotics, Pneumocystis jiroveci, but that is only seen in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients. It should be treated internally (terbinafine or itraconazole) and externally (terbinafine 1% cream - Lamisil). Do not suck on a tube of Lamisil for internal treatment. It's not the same thing. Since you need a prescription for the internal medication, you might as well go to the doctor anyway.
Most of the above answers say ringworm, but i had this red patch on the inside of my arm. In fact, I get it every spring. It was nothing. Just some sort of irritation of the skin.
AnswerIf it's in the shape of a circle, not raised, white if your tan and red if your not then it may not be ringworm. I am speaking from my own personal experience, because I've never had ringworm. I went to my dermatologist for this one. But the skin on my chest leading up to my neck is very sensitive and there is a fungus that lives on just about everyone and is normally introduced through family members (the close proximity). I have several perfectly round, sometimes itchy, spots. My doctor gave me a cream that's usually used for such fungal things as say ringworm. It's called 'Oxistat', I am to apply it once a day for three weeks or so and can stop when I see that the spots are gone. However, because my skin is so sensitive in this area they will most likely reappear sometime in the future. Normally from sweat or over exposure to the sun. Anyway, just incase anyone was wondering if it could be anything besides ringworm, here's your answer.Circle with red circle inside? If so get checked for Lyme disease.
What causes itching around the anus?
Anal or rectal itching (Pruritus ani) is a common ailment many people suffer from. The main symptom is the irritation of the skin at the exit of the rectum, known as the anus, causing the desire to scratch.

Can stress cause skin to itch and burn?
A lot of times when under stress, some folks absent-mindedly scratch at an area on their arms repeatedly... After a while --as the skin area scratched attemps to heal from the 'chronic' irritation of scratching-- that area begins to thicken in self-defense, turns purple, and the cycle continues... If this is the case, get some 1% Hydrocortizone and apply several times a day to the affected area. If not... see your dermatologist...
Why cant you itch your head when you have head lice?
Head lice have evolved with their human hosts since ancient times. No one knows exactly why we have them as they serve no identifiable purpose and are not known to spread disease.

Should a child attend school with scabies?
A child cannot attend school with ringworm until the affected area has been treated thoroughly with Lamisil (over the counter anti-fungal) for at least 24 hours. This is long enough that it will not be as contagious. Ringworm is a fungus that is HIGHLY contagious in children, but most adults don't catch it as long as their immune systems are healthy. It is also spread easily amongst pets so be careful and look for circles of hairless spots on your pet, they may need treatment at the vet. Sandboxes are one way of catching it, the moist sand breeds fungus. But usually they catch it from touching other children. Follow your doctor's advice on treating the ringworm with Lamisil anti-fungal cream (in the athlete's foot section) it will need to be applied 2 or 3 times daily for a couple weeks to clear it entirely, continue applying even if it appears gone, until the time the doctor says is up. If you stop early, it will return. Large areas or infected areas the child has scratched will require antibiotics from the doctor as well as the Lamisil, or perhaps a prescription strength anti-fungal. If it's more than just a small spot of it, go to the doctor. Some school districts will require a doctor's note to return to school, because it spreads like wildfire.
