My 7 year old son is constantly itching his gentials and buttocks (and not because it feels good) I keep putting powder on him to keep him dry but an hour later he's itching again. He doesn't have a rash or anything, he just always itching. It's been happening on and off since September. Any advice?

3 Yr old daughter has been getting sick ever since we moved to Japan(military). She has been getting recurrent high fevers(105) and rashes or hives that soon follow within weeks. She has also had viral and bacterial infections left and right. I am so tired of not getting any answers as to why this happens every other week. My 10 month infant is showing signs of all this too. The only thing I do know is that she was just diagnosed with alopecia(hair falling out in some places) and eczema which is seasonal and does not relate to the stuff she is getting.
I do not know what else to do as far as these fevers and rashes, because they are causing problems. Also I just found out that she has not gained any weight in over 3 months. I do not know what is going on. Any suggestions? Please help!

So I have this thing on my body, somewhat circular, but not quite. Looks small and red like a pimple. It has a white tip. I didn't want to "pop" it cause it wasn't really "raised", it was more flat with a white very small white tip.
My question is, if this is ringworm, how long does it take for it to really show as a circle and the hair in the middle to start falling off?

Hello,

I am 28 years old, and since I became a teen(got more hair), I started to notice that my legs get red/purple spots when I stand for too long, am cold and when I am anxious or nervous... I went to some doctors but they just called it "cold legs", they did not know for sure... the spots don't itch or hurt... they go away if I pressure with my fingers, but after a little while they appear again. When it is hot, they do not appear at all. When I am exercising, they do not appear. When I am laying down, they do not appear. They really bug me, because I cannot wear shorts because I get self-conscious if they show up... I get very insecure, and then I get anxious, and they appear...I believe it is a circulation problem, because after they are gone, my legs look normal, no itching or bumps... PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! If you know anything about this or have any pics that you think might help me identify what I have, I will be FOREVER thankful!!!!! THANKS again for taking your time..

We first thought it was from his clothes--but that was ruled out. Could it be related to his diabetes? Help! And if so, what can we do?
