Skin Conditions - January 2007

I hate toothpaste and it has ruined my life, I had a pimple and I put toothpaste on it (dumbest thing in my life). The toothpaste had burned my face and there was now a burn on the pimple. A day later the skin pealed and underneath seems to be an acne scar. I was just wondering how do you get rid of acne scars as soon as possible without having to do surgery.

I have this place that has come up on my heel It looks yellow in the middle and is red around it. It hurts really bad when I step on something hard or if I squeeze on it, I know its sounds nasty and all but u can really barely see it, it just hurts worse than anything. If u know what it is please tell me what to use to get rid of it without going to the doctor, I don't have Insurance right now and really cant afford a big bill over my foot of all things. Ok thanks and hope someone can help me out.

a bump there. It gets sore sometimes but it didn't appear until I bit my cheek. Is it possible to get a bump there even if it was a couple months ago and why does it get sore sometimes?

I have a case of ringworm that was not responsive to over a month of treatment with Ketoconazole cream. Since the cream failed my doctor prescribed Diflucan. It has been 3 days and the spots are getting bigger, and more inflamed. How long should this take??? Shouldn't they be getting better???

..Considering this is a very sensitive area.
The eczema burns, itches, and the skin becomes inflamed, red, and peels. I try to cover it up with foundation but this causes increased peeling and draws attention to it. I've already tried Vaseline, Aquaphor, Cetaphil, and am currently trying prescription Cutivate which isn't really working well.

I have had psoriasis on my scalp since I was about 10. It has gotten really itchy, even with a perscription. Does anyone have it and uses at home remedies that halp control flaking and/or itching? Any advice would be much appreciated!!!!
BTW, I am currently using a topical lotion treatment called Dermatovate that I buy from Mexico due to no insurance (My doctor in the states says it is fine). It works for about 2 days then it gets bad again. . .

My 10 year daughter has had some dryness and irritation around the mouth. It is now turning dark and looks like a mustache over her upper lip and under her bottom lip. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Due to an eye problem, I have to tape goggles to my face at night when I sleep. In the morning when I pull them off, some of the adhesive residue is left on my skin. I have tried alcohol and make-up remover, but it isn't doing the job. Since it is on my face, I don't want an irritant. I have checked with a couple of local pharmacies and they don't have anything. Go any ideas!

I have a recurring dry, red, sometimes dark patch around my mouth and under my lower lip on my chin. Someone told me before it was called 'placenta mask' and had something to do with hormones. I don't know.... I am just tired of it happening and it makes me look horrible. I don't know how to prevent it and have tried getting rid of it with moisturizer, vaseline, or even olive oil. None of it helps. The dry skin eventually flakes off and then I am left with a red patch around my mouth for days. It is so embarrassing. Has anyone else experienced this or know what to do about it?

A woman i know who i am close to is suffering from female pattern baldness. I thought i heard that scientists had found a cure for baldness in general - does anyone know of a good/proven over-the-counter treatment for this condition.

Thanks so much.

hey u guys,
im facing this skin problem with the symptoms of mild REd color(increases after shaving),itchy skin all around my chin area (where usually a goatee would be)
i never had this before it started out a few months ago and still having it (dunno wht caused it yet)
its really annoying i tried everything, changed my shaving habits as well as shaving cream and type of razors.. i even stopped shaving for a whole month (ya THAT long) and nothing happened.. actually i noticed tht in tht area "dandruff" started forming at those areas where the skin got all red and itchy.
after a while i started using "sudocrem" its a none cortisone based allergy cream (or at least thts wht i've been told) and the only thing tht this cream helped me with is easing off the itchiness and red aching after shaving when i apply it on.. it didnt actually stop the prob even though i kept using it for 1 week at a row and occasionally afterwards.. so i was wondering wht caused this and how can i get rid of it ..
