Skin Conditions - August 2006

ive had this skin thing for about 2 years now. i went to a dermatoligist back when i 1st got it and he said it was eczema. he gave me this cream ive been using since. it helped a little but now some of it is still there and the cream isnt helping.

My son has alopecia areata and does not want to shave his head bald. He also does not want to grow his hair out longer. My only option is to dramatically boost his self-confidence in a very shot time without making him vain. Any ideas?

I'm looking for stuff I can get over the counter to treat a fungal infection underneath the toenail, but so far all I've found online is stuff for general foot fungus, prescriptions, and stuff you can only order online/by phone. I'll take anything topical or oral, but don't know what to look for. Especially looking for anythign carried by Walgreens, but will also try homeopathic remedies!

this weekend I had an itchy rash on my face, ears, neck, arms, and a little on my legs... its not like a red rash, but like little bumps on my skin.

What could it be from? I'm guessing my skin is senesittive to my dad's detergent.

I am asian american and have pretty tan skin. I noticed spots on my neck and shoulder going down to my arm. These don't hurt, itch or anything of that matter. They just look bad. I was once told to use selson blue shampoo but that doesn't work. What is it that I'm dealing with, how do I get rid of them...and how long will it take?!

I have bad allergies, and I also live with pets, so my under eye circles can get pretty bad. Sometimes they get kinda reddish pink because of my allergies. I really want to hide them. Do you know any great brands that are light and possibly healthy that I can use?
Oh, and please only name products that I can buy at my local Target or Walmart!

Please note- I don't need a wrinkle treatmeant because I'm only thirteen!

My son had his ear pierced 4 weeks ago and in the last few days he has been complaining of itching where the stud is. I think he has been scratching it a little and just behind the ear the skin has gone slightly red and also slightly "flaky" on the lobe which is also red. I treat it 3 times a day as instructed and was wondering whether to take it out, take him to the doctor or there was a way to make it stop itching. Sensible answers only please. Thanks.

I have had an itch in the area of my naval for a while now. It also seems that there may be some sort of cyst underneath. Anyone ever had anything like this or know anything about it? I have tried looking at some web sites but was unable to garner much information. Thanks!

Ok, let me just first say that I never in my entire life had poison ivy. Now, five days before heading off to college, it hits me like a ton of bricks.

Now it didnt start appearing until maybe three days after I had been anywhere near what could have been poison ivy. Started itching two very discrete spots and now, a week later, its all down both arms, around my neck and chest, on my ears, face, and knees. I am now taking a steroid for it and still applying cream but for some reason it appears to keep spreading and I dont know why because I control my scratching and Im taking the medicine.

So does anyone know some solid advice as to how I can stop it from spreading other than the obvious (dont scratch it)?

Thanks
