Hi there, I've had an abnormal mole on the sole of my foot for awhile. It has never changed in appearance, size, etc. but it has irregular borders. What are the chances of an abnormal mole turning into melanoma?

my daughter is 11 with a hemangioma on the tip of her nose and is scheduled to have it removed. I am curious as to how they will do this and if any scars will be present.

This past friday night I was out on the porch at dusk with a few friends and i was wearing a skirt and a tank top and sandals. There were alot of mosquitos out that night. Then on monday small red swollen bumps appeared around my ankles and feet and little bit on my arms. I haven't been bitten by mosquito's in a long time, and I just don't remember them being this itchy.

I'm worried because every day I keep scratching at them and then it almost seems that the next day another bump appears.

I have researched scabies but I see no zig zag trails on the skin, its just like random swollen red bump appears and its extrememly itchy.

Any other ideas?

My teen daughter has a pretty bad case of it. It keeps spreading. It started out on her arms, and days later it's on her stomach, legs, neck and back.

She is using calomime lotion and some anti-itch stuff. She's also taking Benedryl. Nothing seems to help.

I got a mosquito bite yesterday, and it is now swolen to maybe a 2x2 inch area and the skin is very hard. It also stays depressed for a long time when I press my nail into it. It's a little painful and very itchy. How come some mosquito bites (and I know it's a mosquito because I saw it bite me) become so painful and large, and other ones are just small bumps that itch with no pain?

I finally broke down and went to another dr since they were only getting worse and he gave us the permethrin 5% cream to use on the whole family which we did yesterday. My question is, how long does the minor itching and bumps take before they go away? We have washed all the linens , pillows , vaccuumed everything including beds and furniture. Is there any chance that we can become reinfected after cleaning everything and we even dipped the puppy in a solution to get rid of the scabies since he is the one that brought them into the house in the first place i know for fact since they started all over our bodies within 2 days of him being brought here. Is there anything else i should do to prevent reinfestation? And how long will this itching last now that the scabies are gone? Thanks!

I just went to a dermatologist for acne treatment. I said I was interested in Accutane because it's the only thing that might "almost cure" acne by shrinking the oil glands. I knew that Retin-A and other toipical gels/creams may cause serious irritation, or they just might not work. Even if they do work and cause no irritation, I don't want the hassle and financial burden of having to use it every day for years.

Aware of the risks associated with Accutane, I wasn't surprised when she suggested that I try oral antibiotics and Retin-A first. I voiced my concern about antibiotic resistance, but she said it would only be 2 months before I next see her. She said some people even took antibiotics for years. Not having enough information at hand, I agreed to her prescriptions: Retin-A & antibiotics.

Now I'm at home reading and discovered that antibiotic resistance can develop after 2 months and may cause yeast infections. I hate doing this to myself. Should I call her and refuse the pills?

Recently, I have broken out from something but I'm unsure of what it is. I thought it was bed bugs because, foolishly, I was sleeping without sheets for 2 weeks. I have little bumps and itchy, red welts that emerge constantly on my face and body. Now, my mother and sister think I'm allergic to something, but I haven't changed my routine in the past week (when the problems began to occur). I don't know what to tell my doctor, I can't think of ANYTHING that's changed! Can they find out what's wrong with me?
