What is the cause of numerous small lumps along the left back side of the neck along the spine that are mildly painful but definitely not acne?

Please answer the following questions so I can have a better idea of what we're dealing with...: Male or Female How long have the "bumps" been present? Do you have any other similar bumps elsewhere (front neck area [where a beard would grow]) or randomly upper back or even on the bottoms of your feet? Do they ever itch?

Wash your underwear in hot water with mild soap. Then, put a cup of white vinegar into the rinse cycle. If soap has been irritating the area, this will fix that. Try a cream for diaper rash. Consider if there is anything else you have been doing differently--jacuzzi? However, if it persists, you should check in with your doctor.

What gits rid of pimples?

There are several ways of getting rid of pimples.

One way is using Proactive products.

Now for me the 3 product cleansers did not work but the refining mask worked like a dream.

When my pimples would flare up and get all red I would wash my face good then put a thin layer of the refining mask cream and wait 10 mintues then wash it off with warm water.

Do atleast once a day.

You will start to see results within days. Another way to get rid of pimples is to watch what your intake of food and how much you eat.

Drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day.

(Full glasses) That should do the trick. Also, remember to wash your face with a mild soap before using cleansers to remove most oil.

I work five days a week at an ACE hardware and have a normal social life and i do average in school.On one spot on my back, a small spot near my right shoulder blade, has had an annoying itch that started about two years ago (just before i started working at ACE) and it occurs about 5-10 times a day for a short period of time.I have no allergies (except to bee's but i don't think that's relevant.) and i take adderal for my ADHD-i (ADHD-inactive). My laundry is done weekly, clothing, bedding and my work vest.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?

When sweat moves out onto the skin, heat transfers from the body to the sweat on your skin which eventually evaporates, removing the heat and cooling the skin. This system eliminates heat produced by muscle contractions.

I had a sudden flare up of guttate psoriasis 2 months ago and it still hasn't gone away what can I do to stop the itching and make it clear up so I can sleep?

I'm no expert, but it does take time. I'm sure you know that Calamine Lotion is the primary drying/healing agent, but you will still be driven NUTS by the itching UNLESS you add a 1 oz. tube of Hydrocortosone cream (OTC) to the 6 ounce bottle of Calamine Lotion. This means a new container, as you will want to add water if it doesn't mix easily and well. .... say1/4 of the volume of the mix, to start, and go higher until YOU are happy with its application viscosity. Use a small battery driven "drink mixer", or similar means to make the "cream" smooth and frothy and you'll need a larger container to bottle the increased volume of water and Hydrocortosone. I suggest application with say, a 3/4 inch wide artists brush. Works great for me, and doesn't waste the material. I'd guess that it takes about a month to clear up this form of psoriasis - give or take a week or two, but the action towards healing is quite apparent once this combo is applied.

How do you make itching powder without using a maple tree?

Once the rose dies, remove this small fruit-like formation. # Take a knife and cut it into two halves.There will be cotton like stuff in the two half's. # Take a toothpick and remove this cotton-like stuff (scientifically, it is called cythilicus).Don't touch it with your bare hands.Place it in a small cup. # Place this small cup next to the boiling water cup so it can absorb the steam of the boiling water and become fluffier. Don't let any water touch the cotton-like stuff. # Don't place it in the microwave or it won't work. It needs to absorb the steam. Once it becomes fluffy(after 10-15 minutes next to the boiling water cup), place the cup of cythilicus under the sun.

You have been itching for 5 years it is worse at night you have tried everything you have white patches and currently one side of the vulvae is double in size?

By Mayo Clinic staff

Lichen sclerosus (LI-kun skluh-RO-sus) is an uncommon condition that creates patchy, white skin that's thinner than normal. Lichen sclerosus may affect skin on any part of your body, but most often involves skin of the vulva or skin around the anus.

Lichen sclerosus in genital area

When they do occur, lichen sclerosus symptoms may include:

  • Itching (pruritus), which can be severe
  • Discomfort, which is generally greater if lichen sclerosus appears on or around your genital or anal areas
  • Smooth white spots on your skin that may grow into blotchy, wrinkled patches
  • Tenderness of the affected areas of your skin
  • Easy bruising or tearing
  • In severe cases, bleeding, blistering or ulcerated lesions
  • Painful intercourse

The uncomfortable itching and scarring that accompanies severe lichen sclerosus may narrow the vaginal opening and affect the ability or desire to have sexual intercourse.

If this sounds like what you have, you need to see a doctor, as there is no over the counter product that can take care of this. A gynecologist that specializes in pelvic( vaginal) reconstruction or a dermatologist(wouldn't be my first choice) is your best bet. I hope this helps you.

Is there a cure acne vulgaris pigmentaton on skin?

The only drug for acne is Isotretinoin and you need a prescription for it. However you have to take it for several months, never go in the sun without sun creme (that's why it's better to use it in the winter) and you may suffer from some side-effects. There is also a three-day natural treatment that helps many people regardless of their age.
