Within the last week I’ve had a sudden outbreak of freckles all over my body. That is, they look like freckles. They vary in size and are a little darker then my complexion. It would be normal to assume they are the effects of the sun but they are appearing all over my body. Not to mention, I am almost never outside more than a few minutes without sun block. About a week and a half ago I was bitten by a tick. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone have a clue what this might be?

i have a corn/blister/wart on my pinky toe. i have had these Dr. Scholl's patch things on them because they're supposed to get rid of them, but i was wondering if there was a quicker, easier way.

are there any tricks, like putting it in vinegar or something, that will get rid of it in a couple of days? i'd like to have it gone by tuesday if possible.

My upper arms are constantly red, and people always ask me why, which is really uncomfortable. Even my best friend asks, and I just can't take it anymore!

Lately I've been getting these red itchy spots all over my arms, and I know it isn't chicken pox, but I have no idea how to make them go away! Should I see a doctor?

ill be going to the dermataologist next week to hopefully treat my acne and so that it goes away. im 17 right now and it started when i was like 14, but only on my face. then, when i was like 16 or so , i had it on my back and chest and shoulders. I dont have health insurance and thats why i took so long to search for help. i called and asked them how much it was for me to go and they said it was $90. My questions is, what is the dermatologist going to do? is he going to check blood? skin? what do you think he'll prescribed for my case on acne & scars ? also how expensive is retin-a or accutane?, Thanks.. :)

Hello.. I have had this mole now for about 5 years.. It formed while I was in band.. I played the tuba, and i think the vibration had a real factor on it growing.. I have now been out of school for 3 years, and this mole hasnt changed much.. i has gotten a little bit bigger since then, but more or less, no real change.. it never changed any colors, and just looked more like a skin tag.
I cut the thing off this morning because I was just tired of it, and other people asking behind my back, whats that on his face.. t got to the point where it just embarrassed me.. so now it is gone.. I cut it off this morning abou 7am.. and now it is 3:30pm.. it is still bleeding like crazy.. I havent put any neosporin or anything on it yet, but I have cleaned it with alcohol.. will this thing quit bleeding anytime soon, or as there any advice that someone can give me that would help it stop bleeding.. its hard to smoke a cigarette with a gauze on your upper lip.. Tip me please! Thanks!

How do you treat cryoburn? Where your skin has become irritated (and surprisingly painful) from being exposed to cold for an excess amount of time. I was given cortizone shots in my feet and the doctor put a cold spray on the spot to numb the area and now i've got a rash and blisters. Any suggestions?

I know that women can develop health problems from getting surgery to make their breasts larger...Is it because they're having silicone implanted into their body?

How is breast reductions surgery different? Is it safer? Is it possible for a woman to die from breast reduction surgery?

I have just arrived in the US and haven't got the insurance yet... I have some red spots on my legs and they hurt when I touch them (it is frightening a little), so I was wondering how much will it cost to diagnose and probably to fix it in my city? (Menifee, CA)

Is there a way to do it not very expensive or at least get a free consultation? What hospital can you suggest?

It started as a round sunken in part of my forearm, as weeks passed the spot became scaly oozy skin (like a blister) growing more round each day. Then i started getting smaller ones on my other arm, back and leg? It lasted for months, doctor said it was a type of dermatisis. (i thought it was ringworm)

I want to hear from those who have experience with it. Does it work well? Will it also help fight odor? Are there any side effects? How should I apply it?
