How do mosquitos leave an itch when they bite?
Mosquitoes don't actually bite - they inject you with six needles that crown their proboscis. Their anti-coagulant saliva is injected into your skin to prevent your blood from clotting, thus making it easier for the mosquito to sip blood. The saliva causes allergic reactions against your skin, which creates the itch. Vampire bats also have the same anti-coagulant saliva.

What is the treatment for scabies?
- Permethrin 5 percent (Elimite). Your doctor may recommend that you apply this cream - which contains chemicals that kill scabies - twice, with a week or so between each application. Permethrin is generally considered safe for children and adults of all ages, including women who are pregnant or nursing.
- Lindane. This medication - also a chemical treatment - is available as a cream, lotion and shampoo. Like permethrin, it's usually applied in two treatments, spaced about a week apart. This medication isn't safe for children younger than age 2 years, women who are pregnant or nursing, or people with weakened immune systems.
- Crotamiton (Eurax). This nonchemical medication is applied once a day for two to five days. Your doctor may recommend it if your baby has scabies.
Although these medications kill the mites promptly, you may find that the itching doesn't stop entirely for several weeks.
There is no concrete way to stop scabies from spreading since there is currently not a vaccine available. There are medications that can be taken to treat scabies though.

These brownish spots are a fungus. Dark, sweaty areas are most likely places for this problem. Everyone has fungus in their bodies. I am not sure if it is a worse problem, but I cannot get rid of mine. Dermatologist, Desitin, anti-fungal cream. I can't get rid of it. Maybe reduce sugar instake and keep the area dry and clean will help. It seems to help me. I have the exact same problem and I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with my age or being active.
AnswerUsually these come with age and it can strike from 40 up (even younger in some cases.) It depends on how active you are. It's the constant rubbing and it discolors the skin. Nothing to worry about. Some people can get it on the inner part of their arms (around from their elbows) and other parts of the body that never see daylight.Some women going through hormonal changes can get these little patches on their faces that will either stay or sometimes fade out when their hormones level out.
I had these. Try going to the doctor, I got medicated anti-dandruff shampoo. (Selenium Sulfide) Worked very well. My skin cleared up after a week. Lather on patches, leave for 10 minutes, rinse. I think you can pick up shampoo like that from a chemist...The brand name is SELSUN.
Whoa. Sounds like you need to visit a doctor or a health professional. No one (medically trained or otherwise) is able to diganose you online. That rash could be a reaction to your soap or medication or it could be a sign of a more serious condition. Contact a health professional as soon as you can! ~ T
