Pictures of jock itch?

If you think you have jock itch and you would like to see photos, there are many available online. Seeing a picture could show you if this is what you're suffering with.

What's wrong if you have a red blotchy rash that started on the side of your thighs and on your ankles and now has spread to your lower back and stomach and you feel achey and are running a mild fever?

This is most certainly a sign that you need to get to the doctor, right away. Like yesterday. While most rashes are not serious, some rashes are a sign of a major illness. Any delay now could have SERIOUS consequences if it should be something bad. Probably not, but are you willing to risk it all? I know whereof I speak here. I went in to get something trivial looked at, and found out I had cancer. I kicked it, but if I'd have waited it could have been fatal. DON'T MESS AROUND, GO IN NOW!

Im one tretinoin cream to peel of skin layers to clear up my acne and now the skins coming off and it looks disgusting foundation just makes it look worse.... any help i also have a 8 wash?

I use a peel balm called Phaze. I used to get chemical peels and was given this to use after the peel. It has a healing effect on dry, raw skin. I believe it also has cortisone that helps with the burning/itchy feeling. I normally have very oily skin and do not need moisturizers. However, since starting Retin A, I've used the balm quite frequently. It's the only moisturizer that I have found that doesn't break me out. I use the balm and then use mineral powder instead of foundation. Hope it helps!

What is an irregular-shaped slightly inflamed hard bump under the scalp that hurts when you touch it and is itchy on occasion?

Probably a clogged pore on the scalp called a sebaceous cyst. I have many of these and have gone to plastic surgeon and dermo to get them cut out if they get too big. they take off a little bit of hair (not noticable on me -i have long hair) -they numb you then remove the mass. It's quick but not inexpensive- like $400? One thing that might help rid them; use conditioner only on the ends of your hair-not the scalp. I understand they can be hereditary, are nothing to worry about and not that uncommon.

Bull nettle how do you stop the itch?

The burning, stinging itch caused by an encounter with a Texas Bull Nettle is agonizing, but easily and quickly solved. Urinate on it! The urine contains something that reacts chemically and stops the pain instantly on contact. Believe me, when you wade off into a bull nettle, you'll be ready to try anything. I was, and remembered what my Dad had told me in my native East Texas (Nacogdoches County) I thought he was just pulling a joke on me, but it works. Reaction to the nettle feels like fire ants crawling and biting under your skin, so the incentive to urinate on yourself can be pretty strong. It may be gross, but Pardner, it will kill the pain quicker'n you can spit!
