Skin Conditions - June 2006

I know it's an allergic reaction and I've been popping benadryl like crazy - but i have a TON of bites all over my arms and legs and i'd really like to know if i can get rid of the redness quickly. They don't itch anymore - they're just a little red and raised. Gross.

The shoes are black leather and cloth. They are used, so I'm afraid that they might have athlete's foot or some other foot fungus or disease. Is there an inexpensive way I can sanitize them?

I have a slight blemish on my cheek. It looks like a pimple, but I tried to pop it and nothing came out. It doesn't hurt and I think it's been on my face for a week or so. Again, it doesn't hurt and when I put water on it, it doesn't hurt. serious answers please.

Ok, so I never had Chicken Pox when I was a kid! But I sure did catch them last month! Boy was it BAD! Anyways, I go tanning on the regular, but haven't been back since the Pox episode! I'm fading!! I want to go back ASAP, but.... I've heard that every single little mark from the pox should be totally gone before tanning again, or it could cause permanent discoloration on those marks. Is this true? I've been over them for a month now, but I still see little teeny pale - almost irridescent-like spots from where they were. I know it will take time for those to be totally gone... but is it safe to go back tanning again??? I don't know how much longer I can go w/out hittin' the tanning bed! :o) But I certainly don't want any permanent marks/scars..? Has anyone got any good info on this? Or been through the same thing??? Not to mention... summer is right around the corner!!!!!! haha.... Thanks everyone!!! :o) I look forward to getting your words of wisdom!

Which is better, an iodine cream that contains 1% "real" iodine or an antibiotic cream like neosporin? I have an ingrown toenail that is a little infected I think. I pulled out a few shards of ingrown nail. The tip corner is the only thing that hurts now, no more sweling. I cant afford to go to the doc. The creams say they pevent infection. I have been soaking the toe in saltwater, putting peroxide, and one of those creams on. That should prevent infection right. I do it like twice a day and put a bandaide over it. It should not get a serious infection like gangrene right? I dont have diabetes or anything.

It looks like tiny red spots or tiny blisters. Its on my arms across my back and on my face (on the nose and by the corners of my mouth, on my lips and leading across my chin). although it doesn't look the same on my face - its red and lumpy but not spotty. I haven't eaten differently, used anything different on my skin or on my clothes. So what is it? Help! I can't wear my make-up!

Just curious how long the skin around someone's eyes stays pulled tight. I've never had it, but seen a few celebrities who have, so I've wondered what the duration of the stretching is.

There's been a slow progressing whitening of the skin between my hubby's fingers, almost like it's spreading, but only between the fingers on both hands.

Neosporin is making a fortune with ad campaigns because people put the stuff on every little cut they get!! Come on; it's an antibiotic ointment and can make skin alot worse if it is not infected!!! You only use it for an INFECTION!! Please stop telling folks to use it on every little nick that they get; or scars. PLEASE! It can kill healthy skin cells if there is no infection. So can peroxide & alcohol - these are only used for 'dirty' wounds. Soap and water; and a dry bandage changed daily is the proper protocol for 90% of all minor cuts and wounds. Please stop giving Neosporin/tripple-antiobiotic ointments money by recommending it for everything! Thank you.

Not that i am complaining i am so happy for him but just wondering why the alcohol is clearing his face up, i mean it is something so simple. He also washes his face atleast twice daily with dial soap, a remedy his teacher told him.
