ok i've got really dry skin all over my body and it itches really bad
but then like after a while (even when i don't scratch it) there are little red bumps like rashes, they do NOT ooze anything theyre just like small mosquito bites.
i do put on lotion and stuff. is it an infection from the dry skin or what?
thanks

Here is the story... my sister came home after going to the dr. and said that she has cancer in her breast. She went to the hospital and they removed the lumps in ONE breast. She also has issues with her uterus. The lumps in the other breast haven't been removed. That was 11 months ago. She hasn't been for any other surgery but is now seeing a shrink once a week and going to the dr. at least once a week. She has dropped at least 25 lbs and sleeps all the time. No bowel or urinary control. She doesn't talk to anyone about it and doesn't seem to care about anything. A nurse told me that she is dying and is getting prepared for it. But I can't believe that she wouldn't share what is happening. She lives with us and I am scared to find her dead in her room. She talks about moving out and set a deadline to move but that has passed. She makes excuses for it or won't talk to anyone really and she is hiding out in her room. I don't want her to leave if she need us. What is happening?

I have tried everything, My Dermatologist is now working on getting a Therapist for me so that a doctor can help me just deal with my acne. My Doctor is very good, he has given me many medications all of them worked but only for the period of time I was taking them, then it would just come right back. I need a Herbal Treatment, or a Religious Treatment absolutely anything that hasn't been tried by the large majority of acne sufferers. I've been told there are many people out there with acne that are still fighting to get rid of it but I do not want to have to fight it for my entire life and I can't just wait it out. This Acne is not apart of my spiritual body nor is it my friend, I need to get rid of it but all the conventional ways have not worked can anyone help me?

I'm using birth control for the first time and my doctor prescribed it to clear up my acne. She prescribed Orthro Tri Cyclen but my pharmacist said TriNessa is the generic version and my insurance wouldn't pay for brand name. The first month I saw my face clearing up a lot but now the second month my skin when crazy. I suddenly have so many breakouts. I've been reading mixed reviews about TriNessa but could that be the reason for the breakout? Should I try the brand name instead or another one like Yaz?

2 days ago I had a severe panic attack for the first time. I was feeling as though I was having a heart attack, or dying. It subsided within 2 hours and I was left with a pain in my chest and difficulty breathing. Now I have not been able to go to sleep, as soon as I start to doze off, I get a bad pain in my chest and need to gasp for air. I literally didn't sleep at all last night! I made a doc appointment for day after tomorrow but it is starting to feel worse. Should I go to the emergency room?? Is this just panic attack or worse? Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated. I am 21 and haven't had any previous heart trouble.

I have been tested with this problem and without it at my OBGYN. and it all came back negative for ANY STD. Yet I still have this problem.

I have a bump, kinda like blood blister on the lip of my virgina and it itches, I scratch it and what have you then it doesnt bother me for awhile. Then it turns white and I can pop it and all this blood comes out and it goes away. It usually only comes 1week before my pd or the week after.

If its not an STD what is it? What can I do for it?

I'm just curious and just read this off of some where and heard someone talking about it. Does it really help your skin? And if you do put it on, wouldn't dirt and things like that get stuck or stick to the gel? What does Vaseline or Petrolium Jelly do for your skin and how does it help you?? What does Vaseline or Petrolium Jelly do??

Okay, there is only one dermotogist in our area. The closest other one is 4 hours round trip.

The first time I went, they gave me a face was (40 bucks), a creme to stop oil, retin-a, and minocycline. I didn't get to see the actual dermo, just a nurse.

I went back and saw her again and asked if there was anything else I could take, becuase it wasn't working. She said it was this or Accutane. I said no accutane.

I went again today and was supposed to see the real dermo. He saw me for less than 5 minutes, gave me another antibiotic and said it was this or Accutane. I told him I don't want Accutane. When he came back in he stressed Acutane again.

We don't have alot of money and I cannot buy the face wash. That would be about 80 dollars a month. I told him I couldn't afford it. He offered no alternative, just crossed it off the list.

We get to the pharmacy and they tell us the gel he gave me was 90 dollars!

What should I do? Why are they pushing Accutane on me?

I have clogged pores and black heads. I can squeeze huge "seed like things" out of the holes. They keep coming back.

I have filled a whole jelly jar full almost in the last 6 years.
