Skin Conditions - March 2007

My son was diagnosed a couple of years ago with icthyosis. It's a dry skin condition. I've gotten the skin everywhere else on his body under control. For some reason, no matter what I do, I can't keep his little head from getting dry. Sometimes the skin comes off in big chunks. I've tried prescription lotions, shampoo,and even a mouse that costs $160 a bottle! All of these things seem to work for a while and then they just stop working. I hate having to brush his hair because sometimes it hurts him :-( Do you have any suggestions for what I can do? Theres got to be something else that I haven't tried. Thanks for your input!

I did take medicine that helps the itching, but a lot of people say it's normal to still feel itchy for 1 to 2 weeks.

About three weeks ago this problem just sort of crept up on me out of nowhere. My feet started to smell so strongly it was even making me sick, in addition to a powerful "typical" foot smell, there was a strong smell of ammonia.

Two weeks of intensive washing with Dial antibacterial soap and treatment with antifungal spray has knocked the smell down to 15% of what it used to be, but there is still a hint of ammonia in my socks.

Extra info: My feet look almost completely normal. When they are wet, there are patches of skin on my soles that are softer and whiter than normal, but I have no visual signs of athletes foot. My socks have been sticking to my feet after wearing them all day and sometimes there is some sort of brownish material deep in the terrycloth. Just had a checkup, my liver is fine.

i've using opiates for a couple weeks and am now coming off them and I noticed my stool is blue. Is this just from me abusing my body with opiates or is it something else....any info would be cool.

If so what kind? I've been having a lump on top of my head that's been there for years(about 5) and it would give me a headache. I just recently cut my long hair and let a professional do it. A week later, I wake up with a splitting head ache so I put my hand on the lump and it was huge(bigger than before), I didn't think anything of it b/c I have two kids I must feed in the morning so, I was about to fix something for them to eat and while I was about to wash my hands, there was this yellowish pink stuff on my hands that look like hard puss. So I went in the bathroom and looked at the lump-I can't see it but know where the area is and I pressed it and a lot of puss came out. I was grossed out! I pushed on it a little more and more came out. My fiancee came home & I showed him & even more puss came out. I know there's more in there but I'm too afraid 2 push more. I don't know how deep it is or anything. What should I do? The lump did go down a little. What to do? Gross huh!

A little part of my pinky toe nail is starting to turn a grayish color, almost black looking. I already know about the fungus possibility, but could it be another sign of any other medical problems? Diabetes? Anything?

i use a 2 in 1 moisturer with sunblock spf 26. usually i avoid my eye area but my eye doesnt have any protection. im just unsure if i should use it on my eye area as well.. just worry if it clogs the pores there as the eye area 'skin' is thinner.
