What causes pimples between your legs?

Hi there, I would try using a body cleanser with salicylic acid and try moisturizers that are oil-free or labeled as "noncomedogenic." Body acne can be caused by tight clothing and sweat or possibly irritation from a laundry detergent so that might be something to look into as well. However, if you've been dealing with this for over a year, I'd say it might be time to see a dermatologist.

What is cause of rash on forehead?

A rash/pimples under the skin on the forehead can be caused from perspiration (clogged pores.) It's important to cleanse your face a couple of times a day with an oil-free cleanser. There are some very good ones at your local drug store. Often athletes such as football players or hockey players can get this problem.

Also, for women, (even men) any hair that is hanging on the forehead (and if you have oily hair) can clog pours. Just cleanse the face twice daily with oil-free cleanser, and apply wash with warm water, then cool (to close the pores.) Pat dry. You can ask your pharmacist for a cream from stopping your skin from flaking. There are so many good products out on the market and some are not expensive at all.

If this does not work (I am almost sure it will) then you may have a hormone problem, but only if you have these bumps all over your face. Forehead bumps are usually clogged pores.

If you have tried all kind of acne treatments and your condition is yet around, then you have a fungus problem. The thing that worked for me was non-prescription strength nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo. Put the shampoo on your forehead and let it stay on for no more then five minutes, rinse it off and do this twice a day. Believe me, it really work. If you have a bang, cut it off.

Describe jock itch?

A fungal infection of the groin.

Jock itch is a pretty common fungal infection of the groin and upper thighs. It's part of a group of fungal skin infections called tinea. The medical name for jock itch is tinea cruris (pronounced: tih-nee-uh krur-us).

Jock itch, like other tinea infections, is caused by several types of mold-like fungi called dermatophytes (pronounced: dur-mah-tuh-fites). All of us have microscopic fungi and bacteria living on our bodies, and dermatophytes are among them. Dermatophytes live on the dead tissues of your skin, hair, and nails and thrive in warm, moist areas like the insides of the thighs. So, when the groin area gets sweaty and isn't dried properly, it provides a perfect environment for the fungi to multiply and thrive.

Does prescription drug Cymbalta cause itching?

I have been on cymbalta for some time and I do have times when I feel itchy all over. I also, on more than one occasion, get blistery itchy bumps. At first I thought it was poison ivy. The first time, it was a large patch from my wrist to my elbow and it crusted over. Now it's like it lies dormat and when I get stressed out I get a patch on my arm. Sometimes it really itches and sometimes it doesn't at all. Originally I thought maybe the meds made me more sensitive to the sun but it's happened when I haven't been in the sun uncovered. I finally came to the conclusion it was the cymbalta. I was off it for a year and never had the problem but it returned when I started taking it again.

How do you get rid of bumps in the pubic hair region that itches sometimes?

== == You really can't. You PROBABLY could put an anti-acne cream down there but it is not advisable because you risk genital infection. The bumps and pimples are a sign of irritation. This is because that area has never been touched or shaved before. The first time you shave, irritation will show and you will itch between your legs for several days. The bumps and itching should go away after several days. However, you may have consistently have bumps from time to time because obviously sweat down there throughout the day. If you consistently shave on a regular basis, (keep the hair from growing back), itching and bumps should become less of a problem

There are also products like Venereal Mountain Mist which are pretty good at helping to reduce razor burn and minimize those bumps. It's all natural and has simple ingredients that have show effective over years and years of use.

Those probably aren't actually pimples, they just look like them. Those are actually caused by dry skin flakes building up around your pores.

Keratosis pilaris (ker-uh-TO-sis pil-AIR-is) is a common skin condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms and thighs. Though you may not like the sandpaper-like appearance of your skin, keratosis pilaris isn't serious and doesn't have long-term health implications. Keratosis pilaris can be frustrating because it's difficult to treat. Prescription medications and self-care measures can improve the appearance of your skin. Note: regular exfoliation and use of body lotions does help lessen the appearance. Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin - a hard protein that protects your skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin.

If you are pregnant would anywhere on your body itch?

Hello.

Body itching isn't usually a pregnancy symptom but some pregnant women do experience itchy breasts and nipples.

Hi,

I would just like to add that when I was pregnant with my son, although he was 3 weeks premature, during the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy I had a bumpy,pinkish rash below my elbow, on the inside of my arm, and also on several of my fingers. The only reason I know it was something to do with the pregnancy and not a regular rash or allergic reaction is because once I gave birth to him, within a few hours the rash was gone. I was putting on a prescription cream before that and, although it helped the itching, it didn't help it go away.

I still joke with my husband about being "allergic" to pregnancy. LOL

What causes the itchy reddish rash on the body during cold weather?

This could be a tell-tale sign of HIV seroconversion. Typically one might experience flu-like symptoms with a prolongued fever, general malaise, bad concentration, dizzyness and a red, often non-itchy hive-like rash on the chest, back and sometimes the face and extremeties. If you develop these symptoms and feel you may bear some risk, it's a good idea to get tested for both the antibody and the virus itself. If you are in seroconversion, you may not test positive for the antibodies. Typically, antibodies develop after the body launches its initial assault.

What is the fastest way to get rid of acne scars?

There simply is no fast way to get rid of acne scars, though there are a variety of treatments available for acne scarring. Here are some:

  • Laser skin resurfacing
  • Dermabrasion
  • Subscision
  • Chemical peels
  • Skin needling

Professionally, these treatments are very costly. However, I spent a few months doing research into beating depressed acne scars in the face and started treating my scars 6 weeks ago. This is what I did:

  • Two high strength collagen tablets just before you go to bed every night (you can find this on Amazon or Chemist Direct or any good health food shop). If you're allergic to seafood this is not a good idea.
  • Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy SKin Resurfacing Cream - apply this every night to the affected skin (again, found on Amazon)
  • Any good quality collagen cream, which you rub on in the morning.
  • Quit smoking, so the skin can heal itself properly. Limit alcohol, as it causes inflammation of the skin. Eat a healthy diet of plenty fruit, veg, fish, lean meat. Cut out processed food and research for anti-inflammatory, healing diet guidance. Protein is essential for tissue repair. Take a vitamin E supplement or use vitamin E cream on skin.
  • Adopt a good simple skin care regime - cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day with products aimed at combatting and preventing further acne flare ups. Exfoliate with Neutrogena Wave machine once a day.
  • Buy a 0.5mm Dermaroller. It is a home skin needling procedure and is done without the need of professionals. I do it every other day, with numbing cream, which is cheap. Very quick and simple.

This all seems like quite a lot, but six weeks on, I have seen already a ten percent reduction in depressed scars on my face. The Dermaroller is the best thing I've ever invested in and does not cost too much. I have followed the above steps and believe me, it is worth the hard work.
