Skin Conditions - December 2006

I just had my first itchy, painfull bout of tinea manus. It started as the raised white areas under the skin, then it spread out and the center became smooth and it itched like hell. Then I got the blisters and could hardly stand to touch anything. When it was healing it looked like I was burned. It lasted 7 weeks even on a steroid. I hear this is a fungal infection, I am 50 yrs old and have never had anything like this and can not imagine where i would pick up a fungal infection. Then I read a little on the net that said it will come back. I still have hard white lumps under the skin, and they do itch, is there something topical I can use over the counter to help keep this under control?

I have acne and i used tea tree oil and i got a reaction with it as i applied it directly to my skin on the pimples and the marks.
I wanted to know if i can dilute it with lavender oil or any other oil will will not create my skin to itch and help it heal faster.
Any professional help out there?

I have blackheads on my nose, in between my eybrows and on the sides of my nose. I've tried facial cleansers, scrubs with microbeads and almost anything else imaginable but they are still there. I even have tiny holes in between my ebrows from where my skin hasn't healed itself from scabs and so forth and I also believe the top layer of skin is missing there from the difference in color of skin from the rest of my nose. I need help in what to do, if anyone knows of anything to do that would help heal my skin and get rid of my blackheads while being at fair price let me know.

I get tiny pimple like bumps all over the backs of my arms, legs and trunk of my body. The dermatologist prescribed Amonium Lactate, it had no effect on the condition.
I recently had a serious cold and the doctor prescribed Azitromycin (3 tablets in 3 days) and it cleared up my cold in no time. The interesting thing was my skin condition started to improve a week after taking medication. That was last month, now I notice the condition getting worse again. Has anyone had that experience?

I am 34 years old. I am not scarred. I've heard the same message touted for years that picking or squeezing pimples causes scarring. I have always popped my pimples because the pressure becomes too painful to bear otherwise.

I wonder if those people that say not to squeeze or pop pimples have ever actually felt the pain.
Has anybody actually done research on why people with acne scar?

I remember seeing my grandmother and my mother plucking the same exact spot when I was little. Will that hair ever stop coming back in the same spot? It really trippy because one days there's nothing there then the next there it is. I just dont want to be one of those older ladies that have straight wiskers.... lol.
What can I do to make it stop?

I may only be on it for 2-3 months, is it worth it? Will my teeth get discolored in that time frame? Will I have tremendous stomach upset? Help, I am only in my mid 30's and dont want these side effects.

About a year ago I got a rash on my leg that was red with little bumps, if it was bad enough they'd have pus in them and it was very itchy. I used some Tea Tree oil for it and it helped it go away. Now here is where I get confused...

The rash is on my right shin, and it comes back whenever I were some knee high boots with just normal ankle socks, if I wear nylons or knee high socks my leg is ok. So it must be from my boots, right? No, because I got the same thing on my left forearm, I have 1 spot on my left lower stomach, and 1 spot on my left thigh on the front The spots are small, no larger than a quarter. Except for the one on my shin. Now I think the one on my shin was from my boots, one of my cats peed on it. I wash them several times in vinegar, hot water, soap and finally put some baking soda on it and brushed it off. If it was just an irritant from my boot, then why was it anywhere else?

Also, the other spots were not as itchy or oozing at all. Some type of Dermatitis?
