Skin Conditions - October 2006

My cat is a 15 yr (or so) old black and white long hair. He's a very pretty cat, but I noticed awhile back that he had black spots on his chin. After researching, I figured it was probably acne. But it never cleared up like my other cat did. He started losing hair in that area (left side of chin) and it started to get sore. Now it looks like he has this open hole or cavity in his chin that is absolutely frightful. It bled a little at first, but now its just kinda wet like an open sore. It just seems to keep getting bigger and deeper. He also has a bump right next to it that is hard to see but you can feel it. He doesnt seem to be affected by any of it, but I know it cant be good. Does anyone have ANY clue what this is??? I have tried hydrogen peroxide but that doesnt seem to help too much.

What works on nail fungus? I've tried lamisil, and the first time it worked but the fungus came right back. 2nd time I did 4 months of it, and it didn't work at all. I've also tried Leucatin (Herbal remedy, big ripoff...) and nail fungus no more. Nothing is working, and my case of it isnt nearly as bad as some I've seen. What works?

ok this started a few months ago i got some bumps in my pubic region afteri shaved but not on my shaft. at first i thought they were just shaveing bumps and ingrown hair so i stoped shaving for awhile then i shaved and it was actually worse. now i try to keep it trim but it's hard cause of all the lil bumps, i end up cutting them. but ya it keeps getting worse. i think it still could be just ingrown hair but it's getting out of control. i don't think it could be any kind of std cause i hadn't had sex for a good while be fore they showed up. but ya does anyone know what it is and how they heck i can get rid of it. it's terrible.

On my stomach, the front, and the sides just above the hips (lovehandle area) I have what appears to be stretchmarks. I am 6'1", fairly athletic, and 235 lbs. I have been this same weight for about 3 years, but the marks are only 1 year old. I thought it would be something that would go away, but it hasn't. The skin that is stretched feels different than the other skin. It LOOKS like stretchmarks, but how could this be? I just turned 26 y/o, and I don't even have a big belly. What's going on here?

I have these sore red bumps on my scalp on occasion. I get 1 to 3 at a time usually and they can be as small as a pea, or as large as a nickel. They are usually filled with a cream colored pus and blood. If I press hard enough on them (which is very painful) they will eventually burst, but it takes a lot of effort to break them. They don't have a head to them like a zit does and they are extremely tender. Where the bumps are small bald patches appear afterward. It's so strange. I was planning on going to the dr, but I am a little frightened and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this or knows what it could be. They don't really itch much, just really sore and uncomfortable. Thankyou so much for any advice you can offer me!! :)

Okay, I have a small acne problem. I once in a while get 3 black dots maximum. I can't stand them. I also have this irritating problem that just appeared out of nowhere. I think I get this Irritating sensation in my face because I wash my face with cold water. I have dry skin. Is cold water good for my face? I also would like to know some tips for a better clean face. Thanks in advance.

I have seriously over 100 moles on my body (not all of them are huge). I used to just have a few on my back, but now I have so many that I feel so gross and I don't want to wear anything that shows my back or shoulders, like a dress or a swimsuit.
When I was in highschool, my parents paid for me to get about 8 removed by a plastic surgeon (so I wouldn't have scars), but I think that cost alot and now that I'm out of college I'm on my own and can't afford that.
Two of my friends are getting married in the next year, and I'm dreading the weddings already because I'll have to wear a dress that will show my upper back and shoulders and people will see how ugly my skin is.
I'm starting to feel like I've been cheated out of a good life because of how ugly I feel. At least fat people can diet, but to remove all the moles on my skin would cost thousands of dollars! Please help me, I don't know what I can do to feel better. Thanks for reading!!!

i'm experiencing this really annoying condition. i think i used to have a pimple above my upper lip (women usually have beauty marks there, right where the moustaches grows. apparently i must have cut it over and over again while i was shaving, and now i've endend up with a small bump instead, and it just won't go away. whenever i'm shaving i need to be careful to not cut it, else it will basically start bleeding and shrinking. after the scar has gone, it just grows back again! it is sooo annoying... anyone's expereienced the same problem? what is it? it's in the middle of my moustache( i shave everyday). is it serious? should i see a dermatologist?

I have a pimple at the bottom of my crouch area which started a couple of years ago. I went to a doctor and he poped it. Since then whenever it comes myself was poping it. What is the cause behind this pimple and how can I avoid this pimple?

Does anyone know how to remove skin tags at home. I dont have the money to go to the dermatologist. I researched it and it said that all the derms do is freeze and cut them off. I wanted to try it, but dont know how safe it is to do myself. Does anyone know if this will work or if I should just leave it be? Serious answers only...thanks!
