Skin Disorders

I recently developed a skin rash around my neck, which quickly spread to my chest area. I visited the doctor who said it was an allergic reaction, likely from a necklace or piece of jewlery. (Makes sense b/c I had recently purchased a new necklace - not real silver) My skin is naturally super sensitive. He perscribed a steriod cream called ratio-clobetasol (0.05%) Although I'm still SUPER ITCHY :(..the redness and total inflammation has gone done dramatically. Hope this helps - If you're suffering from any kind of rash that lasts longer than a day or 2, definitely go to your doctor!

=== === == == I am 27 I have had acne since I was 11. I have kept it under control by using St.Ives medicated apricot scrub every other day and St.Ives cleanser and makeup remover twice a day (when I wake up and when I go to bed). I also use AcneFree Scar Remover at night before bed. My face looks better than it has in years. Have you tried vitamins? Read the following: Your body needs complete nutrition to to prevent acne.

There are a few powerful vitamins that are capable of flushing out toxins from the body. Vitamin A is in charge of the maintenance and repair of the tissue which the skin is made of.

It strengthens the protective tissue of the skin and reduces the sebum production, that's why deficiency in vitamin A may cause acne.

Another main factor for acne is stress and anxiety. In order to relieve you can take Vitamin B. Vitamin C is in charge of hundreds metabolic functions in the body. Among those metabolic functions you can find the growth and repair of the tissue.

And last but not least, Vitamin E, which enhances healing and tissue repair.

Difficult to diagnose a rash without seeing it, but it sounds like it could be impetigo, especially if it has a brown or golden crust to it. It should be treated with antibiotics and is contagious. See your doctor.

Depends on ,"How long after kissing'? That " Pimple-like bump" May be the outbreak of oral Herpes. Best to go see a doctor and have that bump

cultured!!!

If they are also swollen, you should visit your doctor. Next time you see your doctor, you may also point out the brown spots, but they are usually harmless. It may be a hint that you have diabetes, so you could ask about that also.

Yes, it's recommended that you freeze anything you can overnight (8+hrs). I have put my pillow, sheets, and clothing that I would wear whilst I awaited the perm cream (Rx) to take affect. Then just slept on the couch over the next 36+hrs to avoid coming in contact with the mites again. They cannot live outside the body for any longer, so simply quarantine yourself accordingly while using the freezing method. Scabies can also be gotten rid of by boiling, but that's too much work when you have a freezer :) I steamed my floors with one of those Shark branded floor cleaners daily as well and froze my shoes every night while alternating between pairs until the 36+hrs passed.

The most common substance used to treat warts is an over the counter salicylic acid. This acid can be applied as a liquid, or more commonly in a medicated pad. With a regular application of salicylic acid many warts will disappear within 3 months.

Some natural treatments for psoriasis include bathing as regular soaking helps reduce itching and redness of lesions. Avoid injuring your skin as even mild injuries like scratches can worsen psoriasis.

An itch is a sensation that is on the threshold of pain. It is caused by Stress, Blood Disorders, Germs, and many other minor anomalies faced in everyday life for most people. Itches are medically grouped in the area of Pruritus.

What Causes Vitiligo.

What causes vitiligo has been known to medical research for about 75 years, and doctors of that time knew how to cure vitiligo without skin treatments of any kind by simple and effective means available to them.

That real medical research on vitiligo was corroborated and expanded upon by four subsequent generations of MD's, and the cause and cure of vitiligo has consequently become crystal clear and medically obvious. That information, which allows a person to cure himself, is not known to the lay public, and is seemingly not known to current medical practitioners who have minimal knowledge of their own profession.

The real and curative medical research on vitiligo done over the last 100 years has been extracted and distilled by an M.D. into a revealing and eye-opening book "Vitiligo: Your Doctor Will Never Cure You, You've GOT to do it yourself" which is exclusively available through.

No PUVA, no oils, no excimer lasers, no immune suppressors, no skin grafts, and no mysterious herbal remedies. What Causes Vitiligo is known, and can be cured through simple, straightforward means available to anyone who wants to cure himself without skin treatments of any kind.

Herpes simplex one is a viral infection that is spread through contact with another individual. If contact occurs with someone is having an outbreak, herpes can appear on any region of the body.

Unfortunately, yes. Ringworm can transmitted from animal to human and vice versa. When I was a young girl, I actually got it from one of my aunt's cats when I was spending the night. Once you contract ringworm, it stays in your system and you can get random outbreaks of it. It isn't as bad as you may think though. It's just a small reddish spot that itchs. It's not usually noticeable. Usually your doctor can prescibe an ointment for it.

Jock itch on a man (Trichophyton rubrum) is mildly contagious - it will cause the same infection on women. The rash from jock itch will be red, tan or brown and skin will appear to be dry and cracking, rippling and peeling.

A woman with a yeast infection (Candida albicans) will spread the infection to her sexual partner, about 15% of the time. The fungus that causes a yeast infection will cause a red and wet looking rash.

Condoms are helpful in preventing the spread of either fungus. For either infection, keeping the skin dry and clean is your best defense, Allowing the area to "air out" can be a huge help. After bathing, air dry for as long as you can. Wearing 100% cotton underwear and pants will help the skin stay healthy, in warm or cold weather. Change out of a wet bathing suit or workout clothing as soon as possible.

Once infected by yeast, the use of OTC medication such as Monistat (which comes with a topical anti-itch cream) is equally effective for women or men. Follow the directions on the box, use for the full treatment (3 to 7 days).

The commonly used OTC medications Lamisil, Micatin and Lotrimin are effective in clearing the fungus from jock itch 50% of the time. Use the medication for a full 2 weeks, if needed for a persistent infection, use for 2 more weeks. Some fungal infections require stronger medication such as Nystatin or oral medications such as Flucon available by prescription.

As soon as treatment begins, wash all towels and sheets in hot water and bleach - for 20 minutes, use the second rinse option. Use the hottest, water appropriate with bleach, for clothing. Change any clothing that comes in contact with infected skin with each application of anti-fungal.

Scabies are usually contagious about 40 days before you know you have them. They die within about 10 hours of being treated and are then no longer contagious. They don't like to live on fabric and if they can't find a human they will die off on clothes in about 4 days.

• Wash your face everyday with soap, drink lots of water, execise, or use treatments such as proactiv, or my personal recommendation that works very well, Thursday Plantation Soothing Camomile Wash For Acne and the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Blemish Stick.
• There are various home remedies for acne scars and many are going for these methods of dealing with the condition rather than the traditional one of using creams and gel. The convenience it gives the person makes it something that any one would naturally go for. Taking home remedies for acne scars should go with a few things.
• Take lots of water, exercise and take supplementary vitamins with the home remedies for acne scars. They will add to making the condition go away quickly. As for the home remedies for acne scars, one of the most surprising one is your everyday toothpaste. Applying the paste on the affected area like a pimple will see it fading away within 24 hours.
• A dairy-free diet (no dairy products whatsoever). Read the 'Dietary Cure For Acne' by Professor Loren Cordain (you can buy it or borrow it from your local library). Plus read about the scientific research by Dr. Cordain and his colleagues, which gives a new understanding of how acne is influenced by diet. The 'Dietary Cure for Acne' works by preventing the four immediate causes of acne.

JOCK ITCH IS a FUNGUS. You can buy anti-fungal medicine at a drug store without a prescription. A common brand is LOTRIMIN; in comes in a cream and a spray. <<>> I am having an itch on my penis shaft. Can this be jock itch. It is very discomforting and embarrassing when I have to resort to scratching.

Mine itched terribly when I was pregnant. It was from my skin stretching. Get a really good lotion like Eucerin or something with vitamin E and rub it on your belly a couple times a day. It will also help your stretch marks after your baby is born if you continue to use it.

Yes many women experience itching skin while pregnant. I recommend using a lotion with vitamin E or a pure cocoa butter lotion it definitely will help with stretch marks, Although I do not reccommend Palmer's lotions I have found them very dissatisfactory along with many of my other friends who have used them... !!

Take care, stretch marks certainly make your stomach itch, but there is a liver condition that can make your skin itch all over so if that happens go to the doctor.

Everyone is different and everyone's body responds differently to the changes brought on by puberty if the acne is really bothersome or unsightly go to a dermatologist and see what they can do for you if you are a young lady some forms of hormonal birth control can improve acne....hope this helps Good Luck and God Bless!!!
