Skin Disorders

We don't know why each person has eczema. I think it could be different reasons for different people.

With that said, it is likely there is a cause. For some it is food allergies, for others, it might be something else. Don't believe someone if they tell you there isn't a cause. Keep seeking answers and you may find them.

With our son, food allergies are the main cause. He had really bad eczema and once we eliminated foods he was allergic to, it cleared up 90%.

Allergies can show themselves through various skin reactions. The main reactions are rashes (small bumps or larger red patches), hives (also called urticaria; itchy, red raised patches on the skin), or eczema (also called atopic dermatitis; an itchy, weeping rash). These symptoms can have various causes. Most often it is allergies, but some people get hives from heat, cold or sun exposure. Contact allergies/dermatitis is defined as a skin rash caused by direct contact with a substance to which the skin is sensitive. Symptoms include a red rash, swelling, and itching. In more severe cases, blisters can form. Many substances can cause allergic contact dermatitis: poison ivy and other plants (such as tomato plants), wool, perfumes and dyes (in soaps, detergents, lotions, etc.), metals (in jewelry, hair clips, etc.), locally applied medicinal ointments such as antibiotic creams, and latex (often used in latex gloves). These can occur at any age and can appear at any time. It can take years for a sensitivity to a particular substance to develop, so "I've used this for years" isn't a reason to exclude anything from the possible allergen list. Symptoms may appear as soon as 7 to 10 days from first contact. Once a sensitivity develops, however, the reaction can occur in 24-48 hours. Treatment of contact dermatitis generally consists of avoiding the allergen. To determine whether or not something is the cause, patch tests (a small amount of the substance applied to the skin, then covered and left for 24 hours) can often show whether or not that substance causes the reaction. Other allergies can cause rashes, too. Some find that citrus fruits cause small raised bumps when ingested. Eczema is often caused by a food allergy, though there may be other causes. Cow's milk is a particularly common allergen for those with eczema. Avoiding allergens provides long-term relief, while short-term relief can be had by using moisturizers on the skin and taking antihistamines. Some find that using all cotton clothing and bedding makes a difference. Hives can be caused by a number of factors, not just allergies. Hives occur suddenly and may end suddenly, though there are chronic cases where hives are present for a month or more. Other causes of hives are sun exposure, heat and cold. Again, avoidance is the primary treatment.

There is no possible way to actually CLEAR you skin in one day, but cleaning it good enough in the morning and night and drinking 3 16oz. glasses of water each day helps clear you skin rather quickly.

Drinking water is a very important part of achieving cleaner skin. What the water does is it oxygenates your system, and cleans out you bladder and stomach. Surprisingly, your urine SHOULD NOT be yellow. You urine should be a clear fluid that exits your body.

When drinking water, the water goes through your throat and down to your stomach. You stomach's acids then digest the water and then send it to your bladder. If, however, to much acids get to the water, then your urine WILL be yellow.

I am concluding now, that drinking water helps clear and oxygenate your system, and helps clear your skin.

Another way to clear your skis is by using facial cleansing products. I use Clean and Clear. Washing your face 2 times a day is enough. Because you want clear skin so quickly, you may go over board with the scrubbing. Doing so can irritate your skin, and then make your pores create oil faster. As you know, the oil that your pores produce can also then produce more pimples.

Over scrubbing your face causes your pores to become smaller, and then they HAVE to expand, because the oil is building up in them. The pores have no choice but to create a little mound of skin over the oil, and try to hold back the oil from getting spread all over your face. Then, the pimple or zit grows larger if you do not wash your face enough.

Another way to clear your face is to NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE AFTER WASHING IT! If you do touch your face AT ALL, you should do it with clean hands. Doing it with oily hands is NOT the way to go. Doing so, would then create more pimples or zits by spreading the bacteria and oil all over your face.

The last way to clear your face is to moisturize! No matter how fair your skin is, or how oily it is. ALWAYS moisturize your skin. I especially have these REALLY rough patches of skin on my chin and the bridge of my nose. I use Pond's Age Defying Moisturizer to moisturize the rough spots. I wash my face morning and night, and then I put the moisturizer on.

Hope I helped. I know that this won't help you gain clear skin in 1 day, but it should get it cleared up in at least 2-3 days!

No, it won't. Good habits will rid you of acne. Try washing your face once or twice daily using a face soap for sensitive skin and a face mask.

I heard you can either use aloe vera it helps heal the sun burns fast or you can take cold showers to reduce the body heat so it doesnt burn as badly, i take a spray bottle fill it up with cold water and put it on mist and spray my face, it feels cool and relieves the burn

No hot water wont give you a sunburn but it sure will burn you! Sunburn is caused by overexposure to the sun's or a tanning bed's ultraviolet rays. Hot water will make a sunburn "burn" if you take a hot shower after getting a sunburn.

I have a bump directly behind my ear which is a cyst. They will sometimes grow bigger and if it bothers you, you can get it removed. Sometimes they will be sore when it grows but it often wont bother you.

A pimple is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by superficial skin eruptions around hair follicles, also called acne vulgaris and/or cystic acne. The skin swells up, filling with puss and turning red in color.

Because they tend to be made of irritating materials, such as wool, which is rough and scratchy, and because it is much drier in the winter, causing skin to dry out and become easily irritated.

Pimples that form on the stomach are generally ingrown hairs. They are often mistaken for pimples, when they are then popped they tend to become infected.

I think i once got what you have on your butt at camp. It's called empitygo. It's kina bad to have it there. put special cream on it every nite and don't go swimming. It will sting very badly. But you can take a shower. Hope I was of some help to you. good luck with that rash of yours.

Yes. In fact you are MORE likely to get skin cancer here because the skin is darker and therefore absorbs more light.

Totally normal. Most guys have some range in color down there. But there are penis health cremes available that treat this problem pretty effectively. I recommend Man1 Man Oil. It has been around for a long time, is totally natural and treats this kinda thing almost exclusively. Keep it in mind or check it out. Cheers.

Definitely NOT!!! It makes them sting and burn and turn red even worse. The best thing to cure a sunburn with is to soak yourself in orange juice. It really works. I had this really bad sunburned and I soaked in it for 2 hours and the next day it was gone.

They eventually go away. The blood will be absorbed.

Ear infection contact your vet and they will give you ear drops

It could also be ringworm or scabies/mange or from the kitten scratching due to ear mites. Take it to the vet to get the right diagnosis and medication.

It depends on how your skin reacts to the peanuts. For some people, eating nuts will cause pimples. For others, it won't happen.

well, they normally aren't. you can try to put an anti-itch cream on it, but make sure what you have is really a mole. It could be something infectious so wash your hands after you touch it. If you know for sure it is a mole (meaning you have had it since you were born), it could be growing which could cause itching. mole growth is also a sign of cancer. I would ask your doctor about that one because I have never heard of itchy moles before.

That is a difficult question to answer without seeing the rash. Basically, you need to see a physician. It could be caused by a number of things- commonly perhaps an allergic dermatitis, eczema or scabies (an infection). These can all be treated. Itchy rashes are often helped by moisturising creams- E45, dermolol etc. but you may require specific treatment (e.g. for scabies) so you should see your doctor before self-treating.

Puberty and skin care are two reasons, but there are also times in adult development when the skin changes and people are more prone to acne. Some skin types produce more oil causing blackheads and pimples. Makeup and creams also may clog pores resulting in acne. Diet is also another cause. More young people eat junk and fast foods and the oils in these foods may result in acne. Skin care needs to start at an early age to prevent acne. Older people may take better care of skin because as we age it becomes drier and to prevent wrinkles people wash and use creams more often than younger people. All of these things are factors and in some cases there is also a genetic foundation for acne problems.

I would love to know the answer to this question! I have had this problem for over fve years. It started wth what I thought were ringworms on my feet except they never itched, scaled or flaked. It comes and goes and have not been able to attach any kind of pattern to it It has now moved up the inside of my legs and thighs and has even once appeared on my right flank. My MD told me it looked lke a mild form of steven johnsons and was probably trigered by antibiotics, buy have not been on any for a year and it is still occurring. I hope we find te answer o this soon.

Some people have a high acidity in their perspiration. Also underarm deodorants can cause irritation. The best thing to on your underarms is Baking Soda! You can put it in an empty Baby Powder Container or even a salt shaker and shake enough on the palm of your hand and rub both hands together gently and pat onto your underarms. Be sure to wear cotton shirts or blouses and stay away from synthetics or wools.
