How long does it take for shingles to scab over?
A week or two after the blisters erupt, the oozing sores will begin to crust over. The sores are usually gone after another two weeks. The pain usually decreases over the next few weeks, but some patients may have pain for months - sometimes, for years.
Why is dandruff bad for your hair?
Hard water certainly contributes since the soap combines with the water mineral and sticks to your skin, becoming an irritant. Certain skin disorders or a fungus called M.furfur can cause or contribute to dandruff.
If a water softener isn't an option, try a good dandruff shampoo. Doctors often recommend Selsun but you may want to ask your doctor for his/her recommendations.

White lump at back of your tongue?
Many years ago I had a hard white lump on the underside of my tongue. It was there for many months then just disappeared. It didn't hurt unless I played with it. One day I noticed it was gone and that was it.
What are itchy white bumps on my upper legs?
It could be an allergic reaction to something that you are eating/wearing or have come into contact with recently. Allergies can start at any time in your life so just because you havent eaten/come into contact with anything new recently doesnt mean its not an allergy. The best thing to do is get allergy tested.
Alternatively it could be a reaction to a bite where an antihistimine cream or tablets should help.
Do hives or transient skin rashes accompany menopause?
Yes this can happen. In some women (some may never have had an allergy) until menopause will have more allergies. I never had any allergies and when I went into menopause I got all sorts of allergies right down to some medications such as antibiotics that I had taken before. I went through it naturally. I did some research on the subject and yes indeed, going into menopause can cause rashes, itchy skin, bumps, rough skin, itchy eyes and ears, sinus problems, sore throats, dry mouth, more yeast, urinary tract and bladder infections. The reason for this is the tissues inside a woman are growing thinner and our immune systems are bouncing around from the constant hormone fluctuations.

Can rust cause contact dermatitis?
Yes it can! I shaved my lower legs with a rusty razor (didn't know it was rusty as I cannot see well without glasses).

All those who are struggling with eczema are fully aware of the quality of life aspect of this skin disorder. The eczema symptoms include dryness, redness, itching, flaking, crusting skin patches that are really frustrating. Eczema affects round about 17% of children and 6% of adults in the United States and this number is too much close to 15 million Americans. The skin disorder may get worse with the exposure to different allergens or the irritants. The question that arises in everybody's mind is Can eczema be cured or not? To be very precise, there is no scientifically proven cure for atopic dermatitis/eczema.
If eczema can't be cured, these flare ups can surely be minimized and can also be prevented. Children or the adults outgrow the disease while the others continue to have eczema flareups. Mild to severe eczema can be treated by the usage of different dosage of corticosteroids. There are many treatments that help you to get rid of the symptoms and get a clear, smooth skin without any rough, patchy skin. You need to understand your skin condition, the environmental factors, eating habits, that worsen your condition. Keep in mind that food you are consuming can be a main factor behind your flareups. Various treatments that can help you to ease the condition are discussed below:
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil has antibacterial and saturating properties that help to eliminate, slow down or prevent the development of bacteria on your body.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar baths are proven to be an effective measure against keeping germs away and low bacteria count on eczema skin. It also helps create a balance PH level on skin, which naturally prevents bacterial growth.
Bleach Baths: Bleach baths, although not so natural, are the most effective method of bacterial elimination on eczema skin. There are many studies that prove the effectiveness of bleach baths for severe eczema cases.
Probiotics: Probiotics are one supplement that seems to make a noticeable difference with skin health (especially if the problem is diet/gut related).
Wet Therapy: Wet Wrap Therapy is one of the best treatments offered to the Eczema sufferers. This treatment include the wet bandages on the eczematic skin of the patients to keep the moisture sealed in the body.
Consulting your doctor/dermatologist can perfectly help you to minimize and normalize your conditions as eczema can't be cured but the conditions can be treated.
