Is there a perm for people with psoriasis?
Be very careful with chemicals on your head if you have psoriasis of the scalp. Talk to a dermatologist.
You have eczema can you stil have a spray tan?
It really depends on how sensitive your skin type is. One thing you should try, is going to the grocery store and purchasing a "self-tanner" such as Neutrogena. I have tried it before, it works. But if you are really concerned, go talk to your doctor. Good Luck!
Can you pop Painfull 2nd degree sunburn waterblisters with yellow pus?
Pain in sunburn does NOT usually come from the blisters so there is no need to pop them. The pain comes from disrupted pain sensors in the skin that are firing nearly continually. Something like "nupercainal" ointment will take the pain away for awhile. Aloe Vera is probably the best, but needs to be applied frequently. HOWEVER, you should not put such salves on "broken skin" - which is what you would have if you popped blisters.
It is best NOT to pop blisters. The most significant thing to watch for in a burn is infection - popping blisters breaks the skin barrier and allows bacteria to enter inside the skin and burn.
IF, the blisters pop on their own or accidentally, the burn must be kept clean and as sterile as possible. Burn and/or antibacterial creams and ointments should be applied and covered with sterile bandage. IF there is sign of pus, or reddening around the edges, or it is not healing by 2 - 3 days you need to see a doctor about some antibiotics.
you can pop the pus with a needle but make sure you clean it really good
They are dead skin from your hair follicles and regular daily exfoliation gets rid of them which is basically washing the areas with a clean rough flannel working in firm circular movements back and forth using either an exfoliating creme or gel or plain soap
On the other hand, you may have keratosis pilaris. There are several moisturizers that can help to keep it under control. Try a large bottle of Gold Bond Ultimate Lotion or Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for an inexpensive treatment. Both are available at Walgreen's and CVS. Use it every day all over but especially on the affected areas. After one month you should know if it works for you. If not then do some online research on the condition for more options. Different moisturizers work for different people. Inexpensive, oily moisturizers, many national brands, may exacerbate the situation. See the link below.

Would 12.5 mg of Lamictal cause a slight rash on your stomach and a blister on your cheek?
It's a low dose for an adult... BUT yes Lamictal could be causing these effects. You should report this to your prescribing doctor IMMEDIATELY. It may be unrelated to the Lamictal, but it's quite likely that it could be due to the drug, especially if it's newly (under 4 months) started. In this case it's a sign of a more serious side effect of the Lamictal. Your docor will probably want to change your medication pretty rapidly if this is the case. Please don't panic however. I'd be grateful if you tell us how you get on.
There is something like an acne on the face of Ewan McGregor forehead what is it?
I don't think it's really acne.. It's more of a natural thing that comes with aging. For instance, it's not really there in the 1st episode of Star Wars, but in the 3rd Epidode, It's highly Noticeable. =)
What warnings from levulan kerastick?
There is no denying that this treatment hurts, however the reduction in AKs is significant and does outweigh the Level 6-8 pain during treatment and the residual 4-6 pain post treatment. Levulan Kerastick, approved in 1999, was prescribed with a soluition application on Day 1 followed by Blu Light exposure 18-24 hours later. Most Dermatologists now use an application-light exposure timeframe of 2 hours. In moving to a 2 hour expsoure timeframe, pain and side effects have been drastically reduced. (In 2002 the blu light exposure often times produced pain levels above 10+.) Current side effects based on red haried complesion: Moderate pain first 36 hours. Reduced by NSAID products and/or Rx painkillers. Itchy/Scaling sores 36 - 72+ hours. Redness 3-5 days

What caused rash and itching following surgery 3 weeks ago that will not clear up?
I would suggest an allergy to something that is being used, maybe a medication, or latex in the bandages.
Can these allergies or reactions from a hornet's sting include rash and peeling of skin?
Yes, but if you have a raised pustulent area, you may have the stinger in there. Have somebody look with a magnifying glass. It will look black and about the size of the bottom 1/3 of a sewing needle.

Is there any kind of pre makeup application that can be used to fill in acne ice pick scars?
heres something to try: AFTER applying your makeup, powder etc... with a toothpick or pin, pick up a tiny blob of your pore minimizer... (an amount that would fit into the scar -not beyond it. Apply. Let set, and don't apply any more makeup over it. Wahlaaa...scar is invisible!
I do this with Monistat chafing relief gel, which I believe is basically the same ingredients as your Clinique. Works wonderfully at camouflaging my ice pick scars.
Your welcome!
Is there away you can remove a lump from your forehead if it will not go away naturally?
It really depends on what that lump is made of. If it is hard and painless most likely it is a calcium deposit and can be reduced or removed by "crushing" it. This will break up the deposit allowing the body to remove the excess. DO NOT do this yourself. Apart from the dangers of hitting yourself really hard in the head if it is not a calcium deposit you could make it worse or harm yourself. Check with your GP. He will be able to tell you what it is made of and why it is there. Insurance may even pay for its removal if surgery is required.
I've had one. It is either a sist or a calcium deposit, dont worry it can be removed either by surgerey or your family physician.
Most lumps can only be removed surgically. See your doctor about this.
Last week I had a lipoma (fatty tumor) removed from my forehead on the right side. I gotta tell you, this hurts tremendously. I mean really hurts. My bump started growing five years ago and really was bothering me, so I had it removed at Kaiser Hospital. The scar is minimal but, the pain is tremenous. My scalp burns, and my forehead is really uncomfortable. I also have been having pretty severe head aches. So, the point is, if you are willing to deal with the pain of the recovery for a week or two, then have the doctor remove it. It is outpatient surgery and is done using local anesthesia, so it is done in about a half of an hour.
The pimples are razor bumps or burns. To help prevent them try using baby oil before shaving. You can even try some hair conditioner.
I would say you have picked up a wart from somewhere. Go to your pharmacist and get some ointment before it spreads further.
