Skin Conditions - November 2006

I have this problem that I cannot stop doing. I have been biting and picking the skin at the tips of my fingernails since I was a little girl. They are constantly red and irritated, sometimes bleeding. It gets bad around stressful times, but then it continues afterward for a while. Is it just a bad habit or a problem? Sometimes it gets painful and I can't stop. I have quit consecutively for nine months when I was pregnant, but started back after giving birth. I am afraid that I will contract a disease or something if I touch another open wound or something. Please tell me who I can contact. I just went to see my parents and now I am at my worst. I am finally admitting to someone that this is a problem other than just discusting and I need help.

I am 13 1/2 weeks pregnant and I'm sprouting out all over my face and chest. I feel like I'm 13 all over again. Is there anything I can do or take that won't affect my baby or myself that will get rid of or that can lessen my acne? I've already asked my doctor and she told me to just go with it. I know that a doctors advice is always the right advice but I'm sure you ladies out there have tried something that worked.

Let me start this off by saying I'm not a dirty person. I already wash my face twice a day and I have this cream stuff called duac, but so far there really isn't much of an impact. So does anyone have any good products?

I started a tanning package recently and after a few weeks my face has developed blotchy areas that keep getting more noticable after I go tanning. Is tanning the cause of the blotchy patches? The patchy areas are not as oily as the rest of my face either. I have signed an agreement with the tanning place and now I don;'t want to go because the tanning is making it worse! Do you think the tanning place will understand and let me break the agreement because I don't want to go anymore since my face keeps getting blotchier!! :-( What is going on with my face?

My dermatoligist perscribed a cream to rub on my toe (that is the only place I have it right now), but it does not seem to be working. If anything it is getting worse. I have an appointment scheduled, but they could not get me in before the holidays. Does anyone have any over the counter ideas to get me some relief?
