For the past 2 weeks I am having an itchy feeling in the area where my inner thighs meet the groin (on both the thighs).Sometimes I also get a burning sensation but itching is dominant. For the first few days the area was light reddish (almost pinkish red) with a dry scaly rash.I was adviced tetracycline.Then the rash gradually became less but the itching was there.Sometimes it was even itching on the back side where the hamstring meets the thigh.For the past 2 days I notice that those 2 areas have become swollen.The itching is still there though less as compared to the first few days.The colour of the infected area has also changed to darkish pink.I have not scratched the area even once as scratching may aggravate the problem.I also wear loose clothing round that area and I am sure its not due to any STD.I am also not obese.Can anyone help me regarding the problem?

I have been shaving my head for two months now and have had this problem ever since I started. Right in that area on the back where my head meets my neck, I get these horrible looking red bumps, most noticeable right after I give my head a shave. They seem to fade away as the days pass, but when I shave my head again, they come right back looking fresh. I have tried a lot of stuff. I was using this stuff called Bump Stopper 2 from Wal-Mart, but that did a lot of nothing. I wash the area everyday with both soap and facial cleanser. I even put skin soothing lotion on it. Nothing is working or even making a slight difference. Somebody out there must be familiar with this type of problem. Does anyone have a remedy to fix this situation? I take every precaution when shaving. I use a fresh razor, steaming warm water, and Edge shaving gel. I only use aftershave on the bumpy area. I think the alcohol helps for some reason. On the rest of my head I use skin lotion. Any help is appreciated.

I have a cyst at the middle joint of my thumb. My husband helped me to drain it about 2 months ago, but now it is back. It is somewhat sore. I have been reading about ganglion cysts, but they seem to be located on the wrist. Are there any medical people out there that are familiar with this condition? Is it safe to just drain it once in awhile?

last nite..before i went to bed..i felt a small bump on the middle of my arm-pit..i don't know what it is...i never had anything like this before...its still there as of today..its a small round bump..it doesn't hurt..in fact, I don't even realize that it's there. Only when I apply pressure does it hurt, but not that much either. I'm just freaking out a little bit. Somebody told me at work that is could be swollen glands in my arms, because she used to get those when she was my age. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate it. Thank-you!

Hi guys. I am 16-year-old guy. I am starting to see pimples/acne on my face nowadays, and that really annoys me, seriously. Sometimes, I don't see a pimple on my face for a day or two, but then the big red area on my skin starts to appear, and in one day, it becomes a big pimple... that hurts and doesn't look good...Err.

I've searched on google for useful tips, and I realized that gently washing your face twice a day and drinking a lot of water can really help...

Is this true?

And I would appreciate if you can share any information you have regarding this topic.

Thanks for your input.

my skin on the back sides of my hands seems to be getting increasingly dry. and it seems like when i go out side in the cold they get this powdery white coating it happens wether its hot or cold, but it seems like it happens more when its cold. if i put mosterizer it goes away but it comes back eventually. at first i was worried i had scelraderma because there was this hard part but it was proably a callus because it has returned to normal. is this just normal dry skin that can be fixed with lotion or should i go to a doctor?

I've had problems with eczema as a kid, and had it under control for over 10 years. Now at 24, i've started having problems with it again. I put vaseline intensive care lotion on at least 2 times a day. I try not to scratch, but apparently I'm scratching in my sleep. HELP

I am a 19 year old male who has had a skin tag maybe half the size of a pencil eraser in my armpit ever since I can remember. For all I know I was born with it.
A few days ago I bumped it or something and noticed that it felt kind of painful. I've had it forever and it never really bothered me before so i thought that this was kind of odd. It has been painful like this for a couple days now. It is not all that painful, just hurts a bit when I move it around. It feels like it only hurts on the stalk. I noticed that it has also changed in color. It always used to be just slightly darker than the skin around it, but it has gotten a very dark brown almost black. The stalk appears to be maybe a bit red and irritated looking.

I have read on the internet that these things rarely ever or actually do not become cancerous or anything, but I am still really worried. Is it possibly cancer? Should I go to the doctor or is it just getting ready to fall off?

About 2 months ago, this thing just appeared on my neck. At first I thought it was a blood blister, but it kinda resembles a mole too. I was hoping it would go away on its own. It seems to have gotten smaller, but now it seems to be more raised. It's really noticeable and people constantly make comments about it.

I went to a regular doctor yesterday and he said it was nothing serious/dangerous. But I couldn't really understand him. I think he was saying "strawberry hemangioma" but I researched those and it says they are birthmarks that occur on children. I'm 18! I want to go to a dermatologist and get rid of it, but I have no healthcare coverage.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Is there anything that I can do to get rid of it or at least reduce the appearance of it until I can get to a dermatologist?

I have a really weird looking rash that almost looks like the chicken pox but it's not. It's all over my body, and now I just looked in the mirror and it's covering half my face! I can't go to school looking like this without everyone thinking I have a bad acne problem, because that is what it looks like... but it's not, cause it's covered in it and about an hour ago there was nothing there!!!

I was diagnosed with a severly hyper thyroid about 8 months ago and the patches are on my lower abdomen, bumpy, and vary from patch to patch. Although they generally do not itch.

I have this and my derm dr gave me a prescription of Drysol. He said it would feel prickly like a porcipne in my armpit. He was right on the money. It's killing me not to scratch. I'm not- but this is driving me crazy. I am on day way of treatment. He said this was normal and it will be worth it. Has anyone been on this?
