Skin Conditions - August 2006

I have been given steroid creams, injections, and prednisone. I found the prednisone gave me the most relief and I was able to move my fingers slightly, but the doctors refuse to let me take it for long. I have used lotions, oils...I need some relief. Any suggestions?

I've heard that the tattoo will be more like a scar than a tattoo and is there any way to fix it if it does become scared?

I got a bad sunburn Friday from working on a roof all day at a Workout World...the back of my neck got really burned but my face is slightly burned.

well today my skin started peeling and I was just wondering what the best product is to use to stop or reduce peeling of the skin after a burn.

also, how long on average does it take for sunburn to go away?
im trying to stay inside but im also working as an electrician so im outside allot at work too.

Thanks

My husband's grandfather is really old and his fingernails are coming off of his hands. In other words, you can actually raise the fingernail and look underneath it.

The only things I could come up with is either a calcium deficiency or some type of fungus. Any ideas?

I know it's suppose to kill the circulation and die off, but what actually happens does it puss up or just turn black or blue and die?

They get hard and the core will pop out after a while, but there is a mark from the bumps because they've been there for a while. I don't know how to get rid of them for good.

I live in Florida, I have this thing called sun fungus. Its caused from prolonged exposure to the sun and moisture (100% humidity in 100 degree weather). I have tried anti-fungal creams from the dermatologist and nothing is working. Fiortunately it just looks like I got a sunburn and I am peeling. But, its starting to spread on my arms and neck. Any ideas?

I have a blister on one of my toes, which was probably caused by a lot of walking during the past two days (touring a college campus.) I'm starting classes in a couple days, and I don't want to make it worse, but I have to walk. How can I heal/get rid of the blister?

And yeah, I wear socks.

I need some data for a study I am conducting and need answers to the following questions.

A) Do you have psoriasis?


B) Do you smoke?

My answers are yes to both and I am trying to see if there is a connection.

Thank you all in advance for your help here.

Recently I've been swimming in swimming pools and starting feeling extraordinarily itchy several minutes after i start swimming. It's very bothersome to the point that I have to come out of the pool and when I come out, I start seeing isolated bumps forming on my skin (not really rashes or clusters of little bumps, mainly one or two big bumps like a mosquito bite). Soon after I leave the pool however, the itching stops and the next day I feel perfect. I'm wondering if this is a medical condition (I don't think it's swimmer's itch by the way because they last longer) or is it just the pool?

I had a cold sore almost 2 monthes ago, i never picked at it and just put medicine on it for it to go away, and i did some swimming during the time and my cold sore scab fell off a couple times and then came back and then i kept putting medicine on it and then it went away completely. But you can still see a little red mark there, like a little red circle, and you have to look up close to see it, but i heard that new skin is forming there and that it takes a while, is this true and will it go away?

10 pts for the one who answers both questions.

I went hiking in the woods the other day and like an idiot, wore shorts. 2 days later, I developed a cluster of oozing blisters on one finger and the next day, got another cluster right by my mouth.
Both clusters just popped up all of a sudden and first there was this sort of tingling feeling, then a numbness. I thought for sure it was poison ivy, only it doesn't ITCH like poison ivy (I had it once when I was a kid, it doesn't feel nor even look the same.) Isn't poison ivy a rash? This is not a rash. There are no other clusters anywhere else on my body. My boyfriend got a cluster on his finger the same time I got one on mine. I have never in my life been exposed to herpes or had the infection. I have never had a cold sore either. I know my boyfriend was exposed to it twice, before we met, but he says he never got it. Now I'm not so sure and am really worried. How to tell the difference? I have looked online and both are very much alike.
