Skin Conditions - November 2006

I was allergic to some ointment about a month ago and it turned into a rash. And now it leaves me with a red marking, the size of a half-dollar bill on my upper right arm. I am getting married in two months and my gown is strapless. Is there any way for it to heal faster? Please help if you have any suggestion. Thanks!!!

I am 17, and up to around 16 y/o, I had very decent, clear skin. Now I am constantly in acne-woe. I wash my face with a gentle medicated cleanser twice a day, moisturize w/ an oil free moisturizer after cleansing. I get 9 hours of sleep a night and I never, ever wear any kind of facial makeup (only eye makeup). I'm doing everything right, aren't I? But I notice that whenever I'm on a diet (same diet as always, minus the sweets or fried food) - my skin clears up...but I am EXTREMELY miserable, irritable and grouchy unless I have something junk-y once a day just as a treat. But that seems to be breaking me out! I have all these red pimples, a few whiteheads ... worse, they're leaving red scars and crater marks! What to do?

I was visiting relatives and woke up Saturday morning. My face was itching real bad. I looked in the mirror and there were a few lilttle dots on my face. After a couple of hours I could feel a hard place under the skin. I thought maybe I had a pimp coming up. Sunday it was really itching and then that afternoon I had a large red ring on my face. That evening a black scab appeared in the center of the bump. I went to Doctor Tues. and was told it is a spider bite. I received antibiotics and told to put hot compresses on bite. A friend, which is a nurse, got a pin and lifted the black scab off. There is a hole and I was told to try to get it to drain and get the posion out. It is very painful. My relatives told me that I didn't get it from there house that it takes 3 days to start itching or anything to appear. Please advise what this sounds like to you.

Neutrogena used to work great for me, now it doesn't seem to do anything.

Im a 14 year old female African-American. About 3 weeks ago I've gotten some heat rashes all over my body, and then my skin started to dry up. Soon, my face became scaly, my hands have become rough and hard, and the bottom of my feet did the same. Then, I went to the local doctor and they said to just wash up 2-3 times a day. But when I wash my face, it tightens up and becomes stiff to the point that I cant move my lips. After that we went to the skin doctor and they told me to rub Eucerin© all over atleast 4 times a day. That didn't help. So now, my skin is sheading and I have to literly peel the dead skin from my hand, feet and face.

Are these signs of Eczema? What can I do to make this go away?!?!

*P.S. I have to look like this everyday at school. So like, if you have any advice please help.

I'm 13. I have tried alot of creams, but no real luck. It started when I was about 10 and has only gotten worse.

When I don't use any cream my face looks like this:

When I use treatment, imagine this all around my cheecks and chin:

I'm not really sure what sort of things to use on my face, how much, when, and where. I am only 13 years old and i have mild acne. About a week ago I started to apply BP and my face stated getting dry. Yesteday I bought the Rapid Clear face lotion from Neutrogena with salicitic acid( i'm not sure how to spell it) in it. Today I woke up and my face is completely dry, and flaky all over! it's discusting and hideous. I'm guessing maybe i have sensative skin. Please Help!

My mother is like 50 and she still has acne scars, and my dad's face is invaded with warts, skin tags, and deep wrinkles. Should I tell them to treat their skin problems to prevent further damage? It tears my heart to see their youthful appearance go down the drain. And on top of that, I don't think they're too happy about their skin either.

It peels like a sunburn except that there is no sunburn. I have not changed soaps and the rest of my face is fine.

Could a mole become infected by having a tattoo placed over it? Would it become cancerous?

Ok so I never had skin problems before (and if I did, it was minimal acne during that time of the month) and ever since I entered university (2 years ago), I started getting lots of acne all over my face, in random spots, and sometimes even on my neck...this is really disgusting and embarrassing... has this happened to anyone before? And if so, what have you tried doing? Every single day I exfoliate my face when I wake up. I don't know what to try or what to do.

Suggestions?

Hi, I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I've got a cold sore. My nurse says I can't take anything - You have to suffer through it! - She said. Does anyone know of safe alternatives to take while pregnant? It's my own darn fault, I forgot to take my daily lysine while on a trip over the holidays. I'll never do that again!
