Skin Conditions - March 2007

I have been having itch skin (rash?) in the past few days. I am always itchy the entire day and so I don't know if it is caused by an allergen or not.

-It started with nothing, just itchiness (mostly on my torso body, chest, back, neck, head, sometimes forearms) on my body, then I started scratching it gently, it became red instantly. The whole area is red. After a while, I could feel a little bump (very tiny, like a dot) on the area that itches.

-I work with rats and I use latex gloves too.

-I have been having other diseases lately adn so my immune system is compromised. (lack of sleep too...)

-so I don't know is it caused by allergy to rat, or to latex. Or is it just because I ate too much protein and triggered my immune system to respond to anything my skin touches.

-one time I was wearing short sleeves and it was cold so I put on jacket with long sleeves, then it started to itch in the long sleeves part. It's like I am allergic to cotton.

Any help is appreciated.

I've been putting some on my skin, and it absorbs just fine. However, when I get water on it, I can see the white stuff "reappear" (like white, semi-moist stuff...not leaking), and it's back on the surface of my skin -- right in the places I put it on the night before. Does it mean that I put too much on, or that my skin is not absorbing it? Or does it mean something else? Thanks.

I heard adding more broccoli to your diet helps.

Is this true? And what are some other ways??

Behind my right ear there is a tender lump. It does not hurt or itch, even when I touch it, but I don't want it to be something serious. I just noticed it today, but it may have been there for weeks and I had not noticed it before. Anyone know what it might be and if it will go away?

my derm said it doesn't matter if i use either one at night or morning but he did say that if i use tretinoin during the day to use sunscreen. but i have been using the erythromycin during the night instead of the tretinoin because the eryhromycin makes my skin so dry and white and when i put my moisturizer on it still makes it look scaly and later in the day makes it look so oily. any opinoins? i use oil free neutrogena moisterizer with spf 30

I always have bags under my eyes. Some days are worse than others obviously because when I am tired, they look worse. But even when I'm not tired I have them. Its probably hereditary since my sisters have them too. But I'm wondering if there is ANYTHING that can fix it besides cover-up makeup?

THANKS

When I eat cheese (mostly cheddar), and when I eat live yoghurt, my cheeks (yes, my face cheeks), tingle. It feels a little like when you use a menthol face wash that makes your face feel cool. I have no other symptoms of dairy allergies. please help......

I've had laser surgery done last year to get rid of the dark scars on my legs. What I got from the surgery was even larger and darkers spots that don't seem to go away. I had stopped taking acutane a couple months before that. Don't know if that had caused the problem. Anybody has been through the same situation or know of any reputable dermatologist who could help me?

I really need help with spots. I get these really annoying breakouts on my chin. Does anyone know how to get rid of them for good?Maybe there are some pills? something that works from inside? because most face products that I use only help a little... :(

Okay I'm confused! I have frequent acne break-outs and I'm torn between using three different brands:
-Biore (never tried, seems proffesional enough to try)
-Clean & Clear (tried but only the morning burst stuff. want to try but heard bad reviews yet very good reviews!)
-St. Ive's acne cleanser (used and worked well but didnt clear it up COMPLETELEY. and i want to get best reults possible)

what do you guys think???

Every single AVON product I have used gives me spots or dry skin.Even the shampoos dried up my hair! I wonder if I am just the only one person that had an allergy from it or has it happened to others?

how long does it take to see results. does it make ur face worse before getting better or does just kill existing bacteria? i use this in the evening and use tretinoin 0.05% in the morning with sunscreen.
