Skin Conditions - December 2006

I'm generally quite healthy, eating an abundance of whole vegetables and fruits, lean poultry and occasionally fish, no processed sugars, honey or maple syrup. I use some stevia, and do drink a fair amount of milk. I've developed some weird chapped lips, though, and nothing seems to work. They began as redness in the corner of the mouth, now have spread to both lips, including the corners. Makes me look like a bit of a clown. Blistex in the tube is keeping them supple and helping them hurt less, but they look just dreadful! I've tried Burts Bees marsh mallow salve (since marsh mallow is supposed to be good on sores). Anyone else have (and solve) this kind of problem? It seems a little trivial to go to the doctor for. Perhaps it's an allergy of some sort...

i havent really thought about using sunblock or sunscreen, im 18 yr old male, and lately ive been getting burnt in my cheek and nose area, due to winter sun in california... my question is
if i do start using sunblock/sunscreen, are there any negative effects to daily use?
does the ingredients in sunblock bleach your skin? (white lotion)
if i stop using it, will i become more sensitive to the suns rays?
will using sunblock/sunscreen improve the overall health of my skin in the long run? (i've been burnt in the same area quite a few times)

And also, if you guys could recommend a sunscreen/sunblock for me, i dont want anyone to notice that i'm wearing it, and i dont want to feel it on my face

thanks in advance

I've gone to dermotologist, used proactive solution, and almost about every over-the-counter stuff there is and still no solution. All i know is that i'm allergic to Salysic acid, so that rules out some acne medicines that i cannot use. Is there any medicine that is really good and won't make me break-out even worse than i already am?

I have a school project and I'm working almost all day in sitting in front of the computer. Now I have this painful bump on my butt. Is it considered a bedsore? What should I do with it? There's still work to do so I don't have a choice but sit here all day.

my cat is handi-capped and has a chronic sore on bottom of his leg. he's had 2 unsuccessful surgeries to close it. the skin keeps breaking open since he walks on it (bandaged of course). i have recently read about the bauer bandage that's supposed to be good for this type wound. anyone familiar with it? or any other suggestion? because of the nature of his disability and handicapped walking, his leg can't be raised to lessen pressure or be put in a cast. he had a spinal injury and walks on his hocks or 'elbows' instead of his feet. thank you for any help.

I have used lotions , creams, pumice stone, because they crack really bad , I have used lotions and wrapped them in plastic wrap and socks while I have slept, I guess it may be genetic , I am sooo embarressed of the way they look and feel.

Ever since I can remember I have had a series of small red bumps over my upper arms. Within the last five years they have been spreading to my lower arms, lower back, and butt cheeks. They do not hurt or itch or bother me in the least except for the fact that they are ugly. They get a little better in the summer with sun exposure but never go away.

Does anyone have an idea what they are or how I might get rid of them? I have tried acne body wash, body scrubs, and several different face wash products.

Thanks so much!
