Which kind of rash is both itchy and accompanied by a fever?
runny nose and fever are characteristic of either viral or bacterial infection. Since you mention rash, my best guess would be a bacterial infection. Some bacteria can infect the upper layer of the skin and then get absorbed in the blood stream. If the rash itches, it is most likely a bacterial infection. DONT SCRATCH. Take Ibuprofen (motrin or advil) for the fever, take cold medicine for the runny nose, purchase hydrocortisone with antibiotic ointment and CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
Is itching a withdrawal symptom?
Itching can definitely be considered a withdrawal symptom depending on the addiction. Itching can be a withdrawal symptom from injection drugs for example.
Answer Rashes are very hard to diagnose and will take a specialist to decide what is causing this rash. It could be anything from the detergent you are using in your clothing (also clothing softener during the rinse cycle) the soap you are using, or you have a food allergy or an allergy to a medication.
go and buy a topical cream for antifungal and keep the area dry and clean. Apply the cream 3x daily until gone
Antihistamines like Benadryl are the obvious solution to a problem with hives. A rash on your skin is your body's way of telling you that it's fighting something you're allergic to or something foreign on your skin. Nevertheless, try a homeopathic medicine called urtica urens first before giving antihistamines a shot. Get a 30c strength from the chemist and suck one twice a day-that should work within two or three days and might actually solve the problem. It's safe and free of any side effects.
What is the cause of vaginal yellow discharge?
This color is usually a sign of an infection, but if you know you’re in the clear what you eat could affect the color. Some people report this color change occurring whenever they take new vitamins or try certain foods.

Blisters form because your body is trying to prevent any further damage to skin and to heal the damage that has already been done from rubbing etc. This is why the disgusting pus is produced to help heal the skin, so it's a bad idea to pop them.

How do you get rid of acne on young children?
I had severe acne, i had to go through great pain with my face for over three years. I went to the GP and asked about it, he started me on a cream for 6 months- didnt work at all, he then gave me some tablets(they werent for severe acne)- so they didnt work after 1 and a half.. Until! He told me to see a dermatoligist finally, so we went to see him and he gave me two choices, the pill, or orratane. Its now 12 months later after many blood tests and quite bad side effects..BUT my face is perfect now, and theres a 80% chance it will never come back. I never expected to because it was so bad, and scaring you can somtimes fix with special creams.
AnswerOkay, so I've had acne for the longest time ever, since, like fifth grade, I think.And I've found that the best way to get rid of it, is naturally, because I swear to god I've tried every single product [[pescriptions, over the counter, et cetera, et cetera]] until I got this natural remedies book that had a section on acne.
So I was like, whoa this is great, I'm totally gonna start rubbing food on my face all the time. Just kidding...but seriously:
Wash your face twice a day, once in the morning when you wake up, and once before you go to bed. But, I always wore foundation to try and cover up the fact that I had acne, so if you wear make-up then wash it off sometime in the afternoon, after school or work. Don't use medicated facewash at night, and preferrably just in the morning.
And another thing that works very very well, is Apple Cider vinegar. If you dab it on your acne before you go to bed [[for best results once of twice a day]] and leave it on, it works beautifully. But it does burn a bit and makes your eyes water. Also, aloe vera gel, before you go to bed, or lemon juice, or rubbing papaya skin on your face. Just alternate these random things, don't put them all on your face every night. That would take forever and I'm not sure how well it would work.
And, there are several other things like honey, honey works really good. But I've tried sleeping with it on my face...It was all over my pillows by the time I woke up. Mixing honey and cinnamon together and putting that on your face for a while, at least thirty minutes works good. Or honey by itself.
And even tomatoes. If you dab the excess tomato juice off and leave the slices on your face it works as a toner. Oh yeah and Witch Hazel [[an astringent used for cuts and rashes]] works really well and gets rid of scars too. Actually all the other things I named get rid of scars too, especially apple cider vinegar [[it worked the best for me]].
And vitamin E oil, you can get it at beauty supply stores or health stores like GNC, if you leave that on your face for a long time daily it works well. Even though it feels greasy and gets you all paranoid that it's gonna make you break out, it totally doesn't. Just don't touch your face while it's on there, that probably would make you break out.
Also if you mix nutmeg and unboiled milk into a paste and put that on pimples it gets rid of them, leave that on for about thirty minutes. And cucumber juice [[straight from cucumbers, I guess]] prevents acne, and makes your skin all fresh looking.
And I guess I wouldn't recommend this for a lot of people who are not that immune to pain, but Horse Radish Sauce clears up your skin really well, but do it about once a week, just put it on your pimples and leave it on for about thirty minutes. Although it burns A LOTT for a few minutes and makes your eyes water insanely. And I also have tried putting soy sauce on my face, that works too.
But you can also drink things that make your skin clear up, and if you drink them continuously, I'm sure they keep your acne from springing up. If you drink about 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar about three times a day [[mixed with cranberry juice b/c it's disgusting without]], and drink green tea a lot, about 3-4 glasses a day, preferrably decaf. That works insanely well, it clears it up b/c of the anti-oxidants and prevents it, and it makes your skin tone even and clears up scars, also. And you can conveniently rub that used warm tea bag on your face and that works really great on acne and tightens pores and makes your face pretty, somewhat like a foundation. Also, I know it sounds cliche but drinking eight glasses a day. Idk, I think it has something to do with keeping your liver dehydrated which gives it more time to actually work better and clear out toxins better. And all of these things together can actaully help you lose weight too, without even dieting. It's crazy...
But try not to dry your face out too much, don't go insane and start torturing your skin with this newly learned information.
AnswerTry these simple remedies:Wash your face with lukewarm water. You could opt for Neem based soap, Neem is known to be a good remedy for all skin related problems.
Apply fenugreek leaves paste over the face every night for sometime and wash with lukewarm water.
Usage of Aloe Vera is also suggested for Acne
Make sure that you wash off all the make-up cosmetics that have been applied before going to bed.
Applying paste of honey & cinnamom powder before sleeping & washing it off the next morning is also a good remedy
If your skin is not sensitive, you could apply lemon juice overnight and wash it of the next morning.
Wash your face with unboiled milk & gram flour
ANSWERAvoid using hot or cold water on your face. Facial skin is one of the most sensitive parts of your skin and should never be washed with anything else than lukewarm water. Hot water will burn the outer layers and cause the pores to open up too much, thereby exposing yourself to even more danger. Cold water, on the other hand will force the pores to contract and you will no longer be able to clean them, thus defeating the purpose of washing.

well this is my take on it-i used to have horrible acne. i didnt talk to anyone because i was so self conscious about how my acne. i wasnt really living life. i seen a dermatologist, and she put me on this stuff that made it even worse. i was completely miserable. i tryed EVERYTHING. acne-free, clearisil, pro-activ. nothing worked. but then i tryed the 4 step system from clinque, and it worked! i was so shocked. i wasnt expecting it to work. now i have clearer skin, and my self confidence went up. so you should try that stuff. you can buy it at your local mall. i know exactly how you feel. don't let it keep you down! just try it, it is amazing (:
Does the neutrogena wave cure acne and make your skin clean and soft?
I just got it 2 days ago, so im not really for sure how well it works. It says to change the pad every time you use it, but I use the same pad in the morning, and then before I go to bed, and then I change it. So I change the pad after 2 uses. But I love Neutrogena Wave because it makes my skin soft and clean, its easy to use, and to me it smells good. But the pads can be expensive though, its $10 for a thirty pack of pads for it. But yes, I think it works great.

Why do pimples appear on my butt?
Moisture is often a cause of pimples, clogged pores. If your toddler has pimples on the buttalks, I would suggest using a anti-bacterial soap on the buttalks only. Make sure to change diapers frequently to prevent extra moisture. Sometimes pimples can be caused by a rash, it can be caused by the brand of diapers, or laundry soap even. It's best to leave the pimples alone, do not scrub or bother them, and wash the buttalks often, with the anti-bacterial soap to clean and dry them out.
Will using a good dandruff or dry scalp shampoo daily help pass a hair follicle drug test?
No. The specialized shampoo formulated for use on lice and their eggs is lethal to them. But it won't remove the metabolites from hair shafts that have been laid down there during your body's through processing of the chemicals you've exposed yourself to. Lice shampoo's chemistry will do nothing for the problem. There are special shampoo formulations that are effective for resolving your particular issue, but they are only supplied by a few companies, and they cost. One possible source of info can be viewed by using the link provided. Best of luck.

How can you get rid of the scars left on your face from where pimples used to be?
There are numerous things that are available nowadays to help get rid and even conceal red marks "scarring" left over from mild acne. The most powerful and effective is dermabrasion. (A dermatologist will exfoliate your upper dermis to help rid you of scars and create a more even skin tone). You can purchase at home kits (not as effective, but WAY cheaper and gentler to the skin). Using skin care products that promote evening out of the complection is also a good start. Concealers that have a green under tone help rid your skin of redness while waiting for your face to improve. ( ask the cosmetics dept). Last but not least, time will eventually improve your skin"s tone with proper care. You will also want to avoid alcohol, acids, and chemical solutions. Alcohols, salicylic acid, Retina-A, and benzoyl peroxide, actually dry the skin; and because they are synthetic, acne-causing bacteria become immune to the chemically created solutions. Why? Because chemical solutions are created to treat the type of bacteria they sought to treat that was in existence when the solutions were made. Unfortunately, bacteria are living organisms and they learn to mutate quickly. When mutation occurs, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide fail. They also are harsh on the skin and create more scars.
Is it good to peel off dead skin from a sunburn?
NO. Better try using Burnol or other types of sunburn lotions.
Has anyone who has stopped taking seroquel cold turkey had non-stop itching especially at night?
The experts suggest that you avoid certain food and drink that can make the itch worse, like coffee, beer, and super sugary snacks, but in reality, if you are experiencing the withdrawals like I am, these things feel pretty necessary right now, and I'm not too keen to give them up. I've found that taking an allergy pill/anti-histamine helps quell the itch, as does submerging your body in a hot bath. I'm sure that the Aveeno oatmeal bath designed to help alleviate itch is probably also helpful in easing the incredible itches.
Also, watch for nausea, night-time vomiting, and a sudden sensitivity to every bug that is floating around, (I quit Seroquel two weeks ago, and in addition to still having symptoms like the itchiness, I have also had the flu and just got a cold). This wouldn't be weird, except that while I was on the Seroquel, I swear I was sort of superhuman in terms of what I could put my body through and still feel well. It might just have been that I was sleeping so much on it. Eventually though, I realized that I wasn't 'myself' on the pill. I kept having ideas that I was going to get better and feel better, but I couldn't follow through on anything, and wasn't inspired whatsoever, and felt like a loser. Since stopping the pill, I really feel like I am coming back to myself. I am still taking Cipralex for my bi-polar, but after learning that Seroquel was dangerous for some people long term and would make it near impossible to have a baby on it, I decided it was time to give it up.
I'm glad I did. Despite the terrible itch.

Is it ok to take a bath when you have a sunburn?
Depends on how bad the burn is. If the skin it only red there's no risk, although a hot bath will probably be uncomfortable. If the skin has blistered and the blisters ruptured you should avoid dirty bath water.
How does herpes zoster differ from varicella zoster virus?
When a person gets chickenpox, the rash will go away but the virus is still in the body and becomes dormant. If the virus becomes active again in the nerves, it is then called herpes zoster or shingles. This usually occurs when a person becomes older, but only in a small percentage of the population. Herpes simplex causes the cold sores or genital herpes.

What is the red scaly rash on buttocks?
Their urine is too acidic. If you are giving your child apple juice or orange juice then water it down or don't give it to them for awhile. You can use Lanocane to help calm the soreness and redness down or, put 1 full cup of Epsom salts into tempid bath water and have your child sit in that for 20 minutes to 1/2 an hour. Epson Salts is a wonderful thing (doesn't sting) and is good for bad sunburns as well. You may have to ask the druggist where the Epson Salts are in the store. Keep it handy! It's also good for aching muscles and sore feet.
