Skin Conditions - January 2007

.... and i come home and change there are that many little bits of skin that have dropped off during the day that it looks like it has been snowing around my waste and sometimes my eyes can look really puffy with all the white looking skin around them.

Is this a reaction to somethign specific or is it just exczema and ive got to carry on with the creams?

just wondered if this rang any bells with any one and if it was related to one specific thing other than just being an exczema sufferer

thanks :)

Does Compound W: Freeze off! really work for getting rid of warts? The other Compound W stuff didn't rid me of it fast enough for my patience, so how quick does the freeze-off kind work?

My daughter was not born with these symptoms, her skin was normal at birth. From an early age i noticed that she was succeptible to fluctuations in temperature and her skin would flush easily especially in a warm room. Since the age of 4+ the angry flush in her cheeks would last longer, sometimes almost turning purple. In the past year my child has had an almost permanent 'ruddy' flush to her cheeks. I am 37 and have had similar problems all my life, although the broken capillaries in my skin have only become prominent in the last 7 years. Please can anyone explain to me what the problem is and why my child is experiencing these symptoms and what can i do to prevent further damage to her skin. When her skin does flush and the vivid red patches appear they can last several hours, when in this flushed state they are burning hot to the touch. I always make sure my child has pleanty of fluid to drink!

I know everyone gets dry chapped lips in the winter, but mine are horrible. It has never been so bad in my life. when I get out of the shower its like the skin just peels off, or if I don't have something on them they are all dry and flaky and look horrible. It looks like my lips is raw. I'm so scared that it is never going to go back to normal?? I saw a dermatologist and they said to keep putting Hydrocortisone 1% on. Am I going to be okay???

I have had pimples since 7th grade and i am Athlete. I have used Pro-Activ for about a year. Currently i am a Senior.What seems to be the problem? I dont think Pro-Activ works because it gives me more pimple.

What other product actually works? I MEAN ACTUALLY WORKS!

i've never had sexual intercourse before, but i had this huge red painful pimple just above my labia, it burst and was very painful...and the open skin remained there for over a week. usually it heals a little and then the same thing happens again in the same spot...the only thing i have ever done was shaved...can this be a reason for it?

I have eczema on my hands and it gets bad in the winter, with all the hand washing and the cold dry weather. I use over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream now, but it's not doing the job. I'm also breastfeeding, so I think that limits the prescription steroids.

i have this never ending dandruff. After i take a shower and use a dandruff shamppoo IT"S even worse and the flakes become more pronounced. I can look at my scalp and can see big flakes, that i can sometimes work on and pull out slowly. Yeah its sick but my head itches all the time so i often get addicted to looking in my head and tryign to pull out these flakes.

Anyways, i also have alot of wax flakes in the outer ear. If i work on those, sometimes even when i don't have a flake but i start scraching, a flake starts forming ad i can create a flake by scratching and pulling the dry skin.

I gues the condition i have is reallly serious beause i've always had it. I'm 27 now and i alwys had it. Used all different treatments and nothing works. It's embarrasing

Hi,
I had protected sex more than 5 years before. I had tested after 3 months from that point for hiv and it's negative. I had no symptoms from that time.

But recently every winter i am getting boils on my eye, buttocks and neck and going away. 3 days back i got 3 to 4 boils on my buttocks and one near my *** hol-e. It's painful like hell.

I am seeing in internet that boils may be cause of hiv or AIDS?
Is this true? I am really worried now.. I am scared to take another hiv test as now i am married recently.

If it's not hiv, do we have any long term cure of recurring boils? Any food habit change or any helpful hint so that i can follow from now?

Thanks

Is it just the winter or what? My skin has been itching like crazy here lately. My hands are dry!! I started bathing in baby oil. I have been using Vaseline Hand stuff. In the pink pump thing. My sister bought a bunch at Sam's, (sent some to me in a Rubbermaid bowl.) It has helped a lil but I am still real dry and itchy. I carry Avon lotion non scented in my purse. I keep a Bottle of Johnson's Baby lotion with Vitamin E and aloe at the computer, because I use this on the kids also. When I use the bathroom, I try to remember to put some on! I lotion several times a day. I am still itchy! What do you suggest?

My dad had been in the hospital for 2 weeks in traction. He was given a blue tube called Racet' cream. Active ingrediant was 10% cortizone. Used for bed sores was original reason hospital had prescribed it for him. He gave me the used tube which had very little left in it and told me to use it on my face where we both were afflicted with psoriasis and eczema. He had it worse than I did. Anyway, I found that with an extremely thin layer applied to my dry, flakey red areas about the nose, forehead and chin the skin problem totally disappeared after two applications. (One each day) And with 2-3 applications a week there after it stayed away. I need to find a cream that will do that for me. 10% cortizone is script only. Is there an alternative product that will do the same thing? Can't afford to see a doctor. My face will break out with red swelled patches that itch and sometimes weep when I wash or touch the skin. Please help!!! Herbal substitutes? I've tried many things.
