Skin Conditions - July 2006

My toning is off on my face. I have these white circle-y spots on the lower area of my cheeks. It is as if there is no color there. I have had them for as long as I can remember. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? My coloring is naturally a little darker since I am half filipino so it is really distinguished in the summer, but is barely noticeable in the winter. I have tried rubbing vitamin e on my face, but it didn't work at all. So what are they, and what can I do to get rid of them? Are they bad? Thanks for your help! ~

Where can one find one of those electrocutterage devices used to burn off skin tags or karatoses? Seemed like there was not a whole lot to using it. I hate running to the dermatologist every time I get one of these. They usually burn em off with liquid nitrogen. But I don't want to mess with that stuff. But I remember some time back these little elctroboxes.

I had five skin tags and I was sick of them so i cut them all off. they bleed a lot, but thats it. Now I'm reading that you shouldnt cut them yourself. Is it bad what I did? Should I go to a doctor?

It doesn't seem to bother him too much--it just appeared. But he won't let us go near it to try to investigate.

it's spread from my hands to arms, shoulders and face. i've never had it this bad. it's gotten so itchy that i can't stop itching myself. it's almost worse than enduring pain.

i'm 21 years old, and i'm experiencing hair loss right now for about 2 months. I never had this problem before, and i doubt its cause is genetic since both of my parents have healthy hair still. when i run my fingers thru my hair in a shower, i see about 5-7 strands come off at a time and can definitly tell that it's not normal. I do have a itchy scalp, not to the extent where it keeps me from doing work, but cant help but scratch my head throughout the day.

i'm not 100% positive but my suspision is this hair wax that i started using about 2 months ago, called "Spiker". it's a glue-type product and super strong. i used the product for about 3 weeks, and stopped using it because i believed the wax was causing my hair loss. but my hair has continued to fall off since then.

can somebody please help me out with some possible causes and solutions? i currently dont have any health insurance, and it would be helpful to know what's going on with my hair,

I have a classmate that has a rash or fungus on his hands. He popped the blisters and now his skin is white.He's had it for 3 weeks now and I haven't the nerve to ask. But now it is pis_ing me off that he won't come around with gloves or something to show he's paying attention to it. It looks so bad that one part I saw looks to be drying white flakes and swelling. Could this be contagious?

For over about two years I have had a strange bump on the inside of my big toe. It does not hurt or sting in anny way, but it is disturbing. I know for a fact that it is not a mole and it is not a bite. However when i pick at it, it does bleed. It is really small no bigger than a pimple, and it is the same color as my skin tone. I was just sitting here reading these different Questions and it occured to me that I had to ask. If anny one has anny idea as to what it might be or how to get rid of it I ask you to please answer me. That would be GREAT!!!

my 5 year old has a mild case of psoriasis on her head.

If there is no cure, is there a way to keep it under control?

I've been using Selsun Blue Shampoo when I give her a bath lately. I havedn't been using it long enough to notice a difference yet though.

My Hubby had it when he was younger but grew out of it. He said his parents used some kind of ointment on him for it, BUT no one remembers what it was.

Corticosteroids with squamus thikenning- invading the Head and palms. I have tried many drugs, some clear it off but it returns as soon as I stop taking the drug. One Dr. said it was a strain of eczema in it 4th phase and prescribed Diprosallic pomade for me- it seemed to be quit effective and cleared it all but bearly a month after treatment it reappeared.
I do not know what else to take or to apply.

Scars on nose, forehead and cheeks, one like a deep hole - had a giant blister. Last of scabs only went 2 weeks ago. been using bio oil. childrens scars seem to be fading allready - but the oldest is 4.
Not that I'm that vain (honest), but i'm an optometrist and face to face with people every day. thanks

I keep getting these things on my right foot, starts out like a blister, then bubbles up some. If I pop it then it lets out a clear fluid. If I don't then it eventually just dries up and can peel off dead skin like a scab. I shower twice daily, keep my tub clean, change shoes often. Any ideas? Please help, I don't want to go to Dr.
