Skin Conditions - August 2006

she has seen a skin dr. without any results... since this is a virus shouldn't she be on oral medications too? She is also getting them on her knees... could this possibly be a hormonal thing too?
i am in the dark with this, and feel so bad for her. Her fingers are all swelled and look like hell......Poor thing.... any advise would be appreciated....... thanks for reading my problem... Carol

Here's what happened to me: I got a rash on my forearms, which then spread to my legs, stomach, neck, and back. A couple of days later, my right arm swelled and was numb with pain, then a while after my ankles/legs became somewhat numb with my hamstrings and calves tightening up and I got shortness of breath and a tightened chest. I was originally given Biaxin, but I had an allergic reaction to that, so my Doc gave me Levaquin. I've been on Levaquin for 2 days, and it doesn't seem to be improving my health. I looked at my tonsils and I see a couple of white dots on them, plus the tonsils are not round shaped but they have craters in them. Plus now I'm having headaches, my chest is tight, and my glands are swollen somewhat. My throat is not sore, but it's starting to tighten up.I don't think I got all of this from a spider bite. I'm thinking I may have strep or something similar.....please help! I've slept 9 hours in the last 3 1/2 days because of the numbness and pain.

I think I got a spider bite on my right tricep, but I'm not 100% certain. I got rashes on the inside of my forearms, then the rashes spread to my legs, neck, and I itch all over (although it's a dull itch). The first doctor gave me 360 mg/day allegra and a shot of cortisone to stop the spread, but it didn't do much. I'm still having shortness of breath as well. I then got numbness in my right arm and my legs, my calves and hamstrings tightened up. I went to the ER last Saturday morning. The doc gave me Biaxin, which I had an allergic reaction to (i.e. it felt like my body was lit on fire). My doctor then changed the prescription to Levaquin. At first, the of the symptoms were decreasing, but now the rashes are still going (even though I've taken Benadryl the last 2 days), the numbness is off and on in my arm and legs, and I'm still having shortness of breath and a tight chest. I am coughing up pleghm too. My tonsils look weird. Is this a bite or some sort of other infection?

since i was little, i have always had these skin discolorations or "dis" pigmentations. it looks like someone took liquid foundation that is ten shades too light and just splattered it across my face. it only does this on my face and during the summer too. it has never really freaked me out because the doctor says it was nothing to worry about. people tell me to put sunscreen with moisturizer when going on but nothing seems to be working. if you know what this condition is or how to help/prevent it, i will be seriously thankful and HAPPY!!!(to have clear, beautiful skin .haha) :)

I'm a 15 year old male who has a rash down in my genital region. It is very mild; light red with white tops and it almost just looks like the pores are swollen but I'm not sure that's it. I was very scared that it could've been an STD even though I have never had sexual contact with another person, but I don't think that is it. The only other detail is that it usually smells pretty funky. Can anyone help?

I'm in sooo much discomfort from a hemorrhoid - what can I do until I can get to a doctor? I am using Preparation H cream, suppositories, Tucks wipes, and I am trying not to move around. It even hurts when I am stationary, like when I'm trying to sleep. This is certainly embarrassing but I am desperate for help. The "type" of hemorrhoid I have is one lump, about a large pea size, right on the outside of my anus. Thanks.

I have just gotten Chicken Pox. I have never had them before. I don't know of anyone that has them that would have been infected with them but, I have been around someone who has had shingles. Can a person get Chicken Pox from Shingles? Does Shingles carry a virus for Chicken Pox? I do work at Wal-Mart so I could have been around a customer who had them. I just wanted to know if I person could get them from shingles?
