Skin Conditions - January 2007

I had my ears pierced in the past, and was constantly getting infections. Swollen, hot, painful earlobes, with some pus. I tried nickel free, those marketed for sensitive ears, 24 k gold - all caused problems, so I let the holes grow back together.

I'm wondering would titanium have the same negative effect?

I have had this rash for about 6 weeks now. Started on my scalp, spread to a patch on my forehead, then across the nape of my neck from ear to ear, then down my back and around my hips, one small patch on my belly and a few spots on my forearms, the left side of my left breast and one patch behind my right armpit. When I went to the doctor it was still only on my head and upper back. He gave me a steroid shot and prescriptions for steroid and antihistamines. Obviously they did not work and now I have come down with a cold. I cannot begin to tell you how miserable this all is. Does anyone know of a lotion or cream that can numb the skin so I can at least get some sleep? I've tried lanacaine and hydrocortisone creams, oatmeal baths, and about 10 other lotions. I doubt if the doctor will give me any more steroids since I have a cold, and it didn't work the first time anyway. The rash doesn't look as bad as it is, just red and raised with some small bumps. Help!

I have been prescribed an ointment to treat psoriasis. The trouble is ointments are not absorbed like creams & I have to sit about like the guy from the 'Singing Detective' until I decide to wipe the ointment off or have a shower. No one can tell me, incl. nurses & pharmacists, how long it takes for the active ingredients to be absorbed into the skin. Maybe once I know I won't have to walk about the house semi naked for as long as I do! I am sure in this great knowledge base we have someone will be able to get me an answer.
Thanks, in anticipation

My friend's sheep drunk petrol...
He doesn't know what to do with the sheep...

he went to his neighbor (who was a wise old man) and askes for an advice:

"What I should do with this sheep, it has drunk petrol and I don't know what to do with it, it is uneatable now and neither I want to kill it for nothing???"

the wise man says: "just trim its wool, and write on it with black marker - "EXPLOUSIVE"...

was it a good advice?

I have been wanting to remove a pigment off of my nose. I went to the dermatalogist and they told me they can remove it permanentely. They bullshit me. I went there three times and the pigment grew back after 2 months. They told me avoid the sun and use sun-screen. Which I did and I'm sure no one wants to stay a dracula for 2 months and avoid the sun (like how I did). Again I went to my real doctor and all he said" We'll take care of it" and made another appointment. I am sick and tired of this nonsense. Humans are intellegent enough to send robots into unkown planets and analyze it. Yet we are not advanced enough to remove a pigment or a mole permanently. I am sad now and life blows for me. I have very low confidense because of this issue. My low self-esteem avoids me from achieving daily tasks in life. For the love of god, all you intelligent people, is there a way I can solve this problem? can you refer me to anyone? please dont criticise me but help me.
-Thank you Yahoo

My 7 year old daughter has a patch of skin right above her left ear. It is about 2 inches long and almost 1 inch wide. This area is very flaky, dry and red under the flakes of skin. She has nothing like this any where else on her body, none I looked at bath time tonight. She has very thin hair, more on the dry side and frizzy, not oilly.

I found this spot after putting her hair up today. It looks awful all flakie and red. My daughter says it hurts some but itchy the most. She acually scratched till it bleed to night. I have no idea how long she has has it, she has been very issistant on washing her own hair. He told me she did not say anything cause she is afraid I will cut her hair. What kind of skin issue can it be if it is in one area and no sign of spreading and nasty flakie and red????
What could this be? I am taking her to the doctors tomarrow if they can get her in I just can't stop thiinking about it, very worryed about reddness and size Anyone know please help?????????????

My 2 ½ year old daughter every morning when she wakes up, has got some or the other boils on her body. I don’t understand whether the boils are of mosquito bites or any other insect bites. It causes a lot of itching and she spreads the infection all over her body. I don’t know how to stop this. I keep the bed very clean and wash the bed linen every weekend. Even then it is of no use. Though we all sleep on the same bed, we never get any boils. Could there be any other problem with her ?

Like for instance, my mother has gotten new shower curtain and bath room rugs and things for her master bathroom. So.....the first few weeks or whatever, I felt fine now If I just go in their to do the business, like 10 mins after I come out I start itching and shaking and breaking out in little bumps like pimples. I don't understand when I first seen the things in the bathroom, I felt Happy and the bathroom looks lovely. Now I'm itching on my Arms, Ankles, Legs and Knees. And if I keep itching, I start to break out in Pimple Bumps. And certain parts of the house I look at, I start to itch.

Back in 2005, I had a similar case to that. My Family and I were shooping at walmart and like 30 mins after we were in the store, my eyes started to burn then they started getting tight and I couldn't see then, I got like Blotchy Bumps under my eyes next thing you know, I have huge Blotchy Areas on my arms and near my shoulders. OMG it was sooo painful. But I got treated for it.

My 2 year old daughter has had a bumpy, crusty rash for 7 days now. It is progressively getting worse and shows no sign of improvement. I've been giving her Benedryl and using ointment on her skin as recommended by her doctor. Her doctor said my daughter's rash was caused by a virus. My daughter has not been sick with even a slight cold in the last 2 months. Her rash started on her sides and stomach and then moved to her legs. She has small patches on her arms and ankles but it is the worst on her inner thighs. She seems to have pain when simply touching her skin but doesn't complain... she's a tuff cookie. I can just see her pain in her facial expressions. I always thought that viral rashes lasted 2-3 days. I don't have doubts however that they can last longer. I'm just curious to see if anyone else has had or seen this type of rash and can put my mind at ease. Thank you for your kind answers.
