I've gradually noticed a birthmark like "scar" (I don't know what else to call it) going along the right top of my stomach and spanning along where a bra strap line would be along the side and back then up my left shoulder blade. It doesn't hurt and It isn't very noticeable (but of course I'm brown skinned) so most of my birthmarks are hard to see...

So I'm wondering what it could be.. I don't wanna think it's cancer or anything but I need some type of reassurance. It's been there for a few months now and I always forget about it.. I don't seem to remember it growing up either. Also in the past 3 years I've gained weight so maybe that has something to do with it?

I recently spent ten days in the Smoky Mountains, both in Tennessee and North Carolina. When I returned home, my left foot was slightly swollen upon going to bed. When I woke up the next morning, the foot was no longer swollen, but rather my left hand was. I looked in the mirror and noticed swelling above my left eye as well as red blotches under my eyes. Then, I saw the same red blotches on the undersides of both my arms.

Thinking that the blotches were caused by a viral or bacterial infection, I rushed to the ER. The sporadic swelling on the left side of my body also really scared me.

When I got to the ER, the nurse told me that the red blotches were hives. I received a steroid shot in my left hip in order to decrease the appearance of hives and the swelling. I was also given Benadryl for the itchiness of my hives. I was given a five day prescription for Prednisone and prescription Benadryl.

The doctor said that it was up to me to determine what allergen caused my reaction.

When it is humid and I am outside doing some kind of physical activity (from leisurely walking to running), my skin gets really itchy whereever my clothes (or purse or backpack or anything!) touch my skin. It doesn't matter where I am (near the water, at the park, on the sidewalk, etc.). Could this be heat rash? I don't see any bumps though...I'd like to avoid taking anti-histamines if possible (not a big fan of medication), but the itching is driving me nuts! Once I'm in a dryer place (i.e., not outside where it's humid), my skin will calm down and I won't be as itchy, though I do notice that I can still be a little itchy a few hours later. What is it and how do I prevent this?

Thanks!!

I woke two days ago with a hard red bump on the upper portion on my inner left thigh. At first I thought it was a spider bite but it didn't itch. So I thought it may be a boil. (The last time I had a boil I was about 12 - and I'm 44 now).

So I thought I'd 'sit and wait' to see what it did. Well it's still very painful. It has never been itchy. BUT it is raised, hard, red on the outside and a dark purple in the middle. No puss has begun to form. I have soaked in a hot bath and have bought everything to 'bring out' the boil...if it is a boil.

I am most concerned with the dark center. In everything I have seen and read about boils I have not seen anything that mentions a dark center. The information on spider bites isn't very helpful either.

I don't have insurance so running to a doctor will only be as a last resort. It is starting to worry me.

Any help will be appreciated.

Every once in awhile I'll get a pimple in the same area on my face. It's definently cystic acne but usually I'll only get one. My skin has been fine for like 4 weeks now out of nowhere I get one. Anyone know any ways of preventing getting these at all? I have gone to the dermatologist. She gave me minocycline was on that for 2 mos. for rosacea. Rosacea cleared up. But since I stopped taking it now I have cystic again. Could it be hormones?

My friend has this condtion and she has no idea what is causing it. It started about a month ago and is gettin worse. At first she thought they were ingrown hairs and her husband pop them. But, later they turned a dark purple. They nearly cover her intire behind now. She has no idea what they are and neither do I.But I told her I would ask Yahoo Answers and see if any one else has this skin conditon. I have never seen anything like it before and hope to get some info on it here. Yes she knows she should go to a doctor but like me no longer has insurance to cover it. Most companys are no longer providing insurance and most insurances are no longer interested in anything but sitting on their butts while you suffer and they complain or just cancel your insurance if you get a major sickness. Some even drop you when it is not major illness they just want the wealthy to support them. They don't mind paying out to those who are wealthy enough to afford the high premiums. Can anyone help?

I was given antihistimine and prednisone but only made it worst, much much more rashes bigger and more raised then before. trouble breathing and swallowing etc.

docs kept saying its allergy rashes but ive tried a week worth of diet that only contain veges (no other ingred added) and i still have the rash, ive tried another week with just bread and water and still have the rash.

it starts from the neck and downwards through my arms and down to my tummy and yea pretty much within half hour to hour im back to covering in rashes but its much more in the neck chest and arm area.

its usually come and go but after taking the antihistimine and prednisone, the rashes havent gone. just stayed and turned my body into a landmark of lil small red raised village.

They can be popped and have puss in them. They keep coming back no matter what i do. If left alone they get bigger and the doctors dont know what is causing them or what they are.

I started using Nivea body cream three weeks ago and after a week of using it, I developed a small bump on my stomach. I saw my dermatologist and he said it's eczema. Now it's spreading and I look like I'm covered in mosquito bites. Could the lotion have triggered the eczema? I've never been sensitive to anything like that and I don't have any allergies.

I have suffered with rosacea for several years and have been to no less than four dermotologists. Prescribed creams and lotions do not seem to do much, if any, good.
