Skin Conditions - March 2007

I have recently been having a lot of dry itchy skin. I don't know if it is the weather, a recent weight gain (making my skin a little tight) or nicotine therapy overload from quitting smoking (which would make my weight gain make some sense...) OR even trying a cheap dollar store imitation of Tone bar soap. Maybe all.

I am going mad and it is a little concerning.

I have tried tea tree shampoo as a body wash, this is good for skin, without much relief. I have also tried medicated itch creams.

I break out badly from Ivory of all things.

I would like something that smells nice or no scent, liquid preferred, and affordable. Body wash, shower gel...and not uber oily...I break out easy with acne.

Any suggestions would be welcome for soap or other skin care.

My legs bruise beyond easily, and they don't go away either. I have had some bruises for nearly 2 years, they don't hurt, but the blue color lasts. My legs look like a dalmation's! Any suggestions on what I can do to make them go away?!!

Serious answers only please! If you've tried anything that cleared your skin without breaking you out, I'd love to know about it!

i have a sun allergy. that i know. which causes red spots and areas resembling a rash, eczema, and/or psoriasis on my face. but lately i have not been in the sun, and these spots have been popping up from nowhere. one actually looks more like a sore than anything. i don't use chemical beauty products or anything. just lotion, but not anything that could cause a reaction. my doctor doesnt know, he said go to a dermatologist, but i dont have the money. any ideas?

I have this acne scar from a pimple I had about 1.5 years ago on my cheek. At first it was very noticeable. Lately it has been getting less deep however it still is kind of noticeable. I have tried Vitamin E oil and Aloe Vera, and it works on all acne scars except this one. Well, the Vitamin E oil helped the scar...but not a lot...any advice?

I've had moderate acne for a few years now, nothing bad, just the usual stuff teenagers get. Recently my pimples havent been like normal white heads. They've been larger and red and they hurt if I press them. I definitely can't pop them. I have one on my face and one on my shoulder. So...
1. Is these still pimples? I've heard of something similar related to stress. Could it be that?
2. How do I stop it???? I already use prescription Diffrin and I recently stopped my prescription Doryx.
3. Any suggestions for OTC medicine I can put on my back? It's not bad but if I can make it better, why not? Preferably pads so it's easier to apply??
THANKS!

Before I go to sleep, actually just when I pull my covers on, I feel like a tingling sensation, or actually an itchy sensation all over my legs. Sometimes I really have to get out of bed and scratch them a few times, but the itch comes back after approx. 20 minutes.

This lasted for a year already. I wash myself regularly, I sleep alone, I haven't changed my bed in a few years.

I experience it when I have to stand still for some time, and it's really irritating, because I can't think of anything else then.

Any suggestions?

Ive been on anitbiotics for soo long now and have gone through i dont even know how many kinds and nothing seems to be working! The latest ones the dermatoligist gave me is tazorac at night, duac in the morning, brevoxyl wash for morning and night and im on minocyline pills. Doesnt this seem like a bit much to stilll have acne? My acne isnt even that bad but I just have a lot of little pimples and my face is always realllly red. Anyone else been on antibiotics or know anything about them and whyy it is not working for me? Oh and also does anyone know how to get rid of the overall redness in my face?

I have a massive pimple that erupted on my forehead at the worst possible time ever. I was considering getting a cortisone shot for it in order to speed up the healing process but I'm not sure if my insurance will cover it. I don't really feel like paying a lot of money for something like that. If it isn't covered by insurance, how much does it usually cost? Anways, I have Blue Shield.

Also, if you have ever gotten a cortisone shot for a pimple, do you mind sharing the experience with me? I've heard that although it gets rid of the pimple, it can sometimes leave "dents" on your skin.

Thanks everyone!

I'm looking into homeopathic rememdies more and more. I'm getting married in a week and a half and recently bought pro-active and it's not working for me, of course! And, yes I was using it right, and gave it time to work, and nothing. Can't I just wash my face, or use alcohol, or somthing?! I don't want to have breakouts on my wedding day!!!

I always tan really well on my upper body but can never quite get my legs to match.If I used a sunless tanning lotion for my legs and then laid out in the sun would my legs be able to get that natural tan through the sunless tanning lotion?
