Skin Conditions - May 2007

I have started to get a few circular rashes on my body. i have one that has been there for about 1 year. it is starting to bug me. They are itchy and dark. My family has a history of eczema, but i have never had a problem. 3 years ago i got a ringworm andit was treated easily, but from then on i started to get other rashes, i have used pevisone cream and it reduce syptoms eventually and it always comes back , i have also used a ezcema cream but i still have them. I also have a cough, i have had one for years but i do not think it has anything to do with it because i ha a cough before i started getting anything......Please tell me what you think it is? I have been to the doctors before but nothing is happening......

My 10 yr. old Quarter horse had been bitten by tons of bugs while in the pasture. His face was covered in bumps and he just scratched like crazy. I've been applying a mixture of crushed Phenylbutazone (1/2g) to 10 oz. veggie oil. This keeps the flies and bugs away and has reduced the bumps (they are almost gone), and with a light application of Cortaid, the itching has decreased. HOWEVER, I have seen that right under his chin (between his jaw lines) he has a larger than normal swelled soft lump. Almost like a swollen lymphnode (if one is found there). I can tell he has scratched this area profusely. So my Q is this....can I give him Phenylbutazone crushed in his feed to reduce this swelling? If so, should I give the maximum amount of 3g per day or just half that amount. I've given this to him when his ankle showed signs of swelling,as per the vet but not sure about this one. Thanks

In the last year or so, I've notice that I've developed several little 'cysts' around my eyes -- especially on the skin beneath the eye (the place where dark circles often appear). I tried scrubbing them off with a facial scrub, but they won't budge & they're not pimples. Should I see a dermatologist to have them removed? I'm wondering if they're caused by seasonal allergies (something else I've developed recently). Any input?

My skin is very sensitive and extremely prone to acne and black heads especially on my back neck and shoulders. I go through stages where I'm clear on my face but then break out after a week or two...and the cycle continues. The acne on my back is constant. I'm extremely embarrassed by it. I'm 22 years old and I have to avoid wearing tank tops, backless dresses and bathing suits, but I'm too embarrassed to show anyone (ie. doctor) What should I do?

My hands and feet are getting extremely tingly and itchy after I am out in the sun. I'm someone who is outdoors and at the pool a lot and never had a problem. I thought maybe my hands and feet were getting burned although they don't look red. I put spf 30 on them and its still happening. Its so bad at night it wakes me up in my sleep hurting. Does anyone know what this might be or what I could do ? I can't avoid being outdoors and unsure what to do

Every summer, I get a heat rash on the inside of my legs, and sometimes on the inside part of my arms.
What's the best way to go about getting rid of this?

I have never had acne, not even as a teenager. I started the Obagi system and continued it for the length of time prescribed. My skin looked great. I stopped as I was instructed to do and now I have a forehead full of acne and I get those large, red, painful ones under the skin. I can't see any other connnection. The spa where I started the program told me I had to keep using it. I asked for how long and they didn't know. Anyone else have this problem?

it's almost like a pimple. my doctor said not to worry about it, but i want it off. i try to get rid of it, i use a hot towel and a sterilized needle and try to get the stuff out that might be inside of it but it's really hard because it's right on the edge of the lid and i don't want to poke my eye with the needle either. it helps somewhat, but it still comes back. i've looked in drugstores for some product that may help but no luck. any ideas?

Is it ok to use for a face that might be prone to acne. Will it clog up your pores on your face.

The skin between my toes is split, and other than that my feet are fine. It feels sort of like a paper cut. :( This has happened once before, and I didn't have any other problems with my feet then, either.

The only thing I've noticed with my feet is that sometimes they're swollen and red, but that doesn't happen all that often.

I don't have diabetes or athletes foot, and my feet aren't really dry, either.

Any idea what's caused this? Also, what should I do about it? It's bothering me, especially when I walk... I was thinking of putting some of that liquid bandaid stuff on it?

I guess that this is mainly directed towards people with caramel to dark skin. Why is it that when they sometimes tan, the tan never fades away? The tanning line on my feet hasn't faded and I have had it for one year.

Itchy rash. I am using cortisone cream for the itch but it isn't helping much. I have been working outside the last couple of days with wood that is treated, could the chemical in the wood be to blame? I'm really begining to worry because I am highly allergic to poison ivy and was hopitalized as a small child. Could it be that? HELP!
