Skin Conditions - August 2006

I have a green/green-blue birthmark on the upper part of my left arm and I want to know if this occurance is common. Everyone thinks it's just a bruise but it's actually the color of my skin.
I've had a cut through my birth mark and the skin that grew back was still green-blue. I don't know anyone else with this THING... although I like it because it makes me unique, I'm wondering if it's linked to something medical. Do you know anyone with this kind of birthmark?

It hurts like crazy...very tender. Has a knot in it...hard as a rock. Very red. The red area ia about the size of a quarter and the hard spot is a little bigger than a pea. No head on it and no pus. Came up today with no warning. Oh, it is on my breast of all places. Any ideas???

The lack of melanin in his skin is leaving light blotchy patches on his shoulders neck and back. He says it is not bothering him and this is all fine but I think he should get it checked out just to be sure. Is it anything to worry about? most of the information I have found is quite vague and he is refusing to go to the doctors. If you are a sufferer or know anything about it I would appreciate your info.

Both of my arms have multiple small bumps that are pink with a dry dead skin top. I am concerned. They have been on my arms for a few years and are not going away. Does any one know what it could be?

Any available Dermatologists?

I have this bad skin condition where i get flakes all around my nose and my eye brows. ( kind of like getting dandruff on your scalp, but instead getting it on your face.) I tell my mom that we should go to a dermatologist and have my face checked out, but she believes if I keep on cleaning my face really good it will go away. Is this true. Or do i need a special treatment for this problem.

My husband has a job where he is constantly walking, walking... for 8 hours a day. He gets bad chafing in his inner thigh area, that is very painful. He has tried baby powders, corn starch powders, even diaper rash ointments. These do help healing the rash areas, but we need some suggestions for prevention while walking so much. Any ideas out there? Thanks!!

replace old ones with the fiberglass exposed. She gets splinters from the fiberglass on her hands and arms from handling these trays. It causes a rash that is uncomfortable and embarassing. She's a server in the food industry so it can't be healthy for her or her customers. Other employees have the same problem and they've all complained to management who says there's nothing wrong with the trays, the rashes are not their problem, thus they refuse to replace them. Anybody have any suggestions on where this can be reported? Please don't offer "quit the job". These employees are all students trying to make a living while getting an education. They deserve to be treated better on the job. Can OSHA help in a situation like this?

I've got mild eczema on my fingers and toes at the moment, and it's irritating me! I used to have it really badly all over me, so used steroid cream, but I don't want to use steroids for this. I don't get affected by soaps or anything; I use ones that don't irritate it, and my clothes don't make it worse. Does anybody have any alternative remedies?

During this time of year, I usually participate in sports activites. I get about 6-7 hours of exercise, outside, 5-6 days every week. During my second week of sports, I noticed I was getting an amazing amount of tiny bubbles all over my arms! This has never happened to me before.

The bubbles are, at most, 1 mm in diameter. The only appear in the area of my arm between my wrist and my elbow. They tend to stay closer to my wrist, though. When I pop these bubbles, they release a small quantity of water (which is probably just sweat, but why was there something holding the water in?). Also, I did NOT use sunscreen for that first week, and the temperature stayed between 85-95 degress Fahrenheit.

I'm relatively in shape, and don't have excessive weight. I have no known allergies. I have no major diseases. I have no idea what could be causing it, or whether it is dangerous to me. Post any other questions you may have about my situation, and please, give me your best answer!

Thanks.
