i got a sty on tuesday and it's sunday now. it's gone down considerably in swelling since i first got it but i can still feel a little bump and it hurts when i blink really hard. it's hard to see if the sty has popped/drained because it's on the inside of my upper eye lid.
i've had styes before and they clear up on their own but this one seems to be hanging around. (oh yeah, this is not a reoccurring sty!) i've done the warm compresses and kept it clean but it's still there. so is it normal for styes to take this long to heal? or should i go to the doctor? regular doctor or eye doctor? i'm cringing at the possibility of getting it lanced! i would appreciate any help!

I recently have started to get things that look like pimples, meaning they hard red and raised. But they are almost rock hard and never come to a head and painful. There are only ever one or two but they never pop and when they go away they leave a scar. This is probably something I need to speak to a dermatologist about but seeing as I am young it's kinda hard for me to just come up with that kind of money. So if anyone has any ideas to what they might be it would be extremely helpful.

I took ibuprofen (Nurofen brand) every day for about a year to relieve muscle pain after a motorcycle accident. About 4 months after starting the NSAID's, a skin complaint started to appear that eventually covered all of my body except my face. It was diagnosed as GA (= granuloma annulare). The GA continued long after I stopped taking the ibuprofen.

I believe the NSAID drugs and the GA to be connected, but my doctor says there is no evidence. My present theory is that taking NSAID's (at maximum recommended daily dose) makes the skin very sensitive to the effects of sunlight (or possibly just to the infra-red heat component), and exposure to sunlight under those conditions causes GA.

Does anyone have any experience of this, know anything about it, or can tell me where to go to find people who do?

My daughter has two keloids, one on her earlobe (it looks like a little egg), and the other was caused by a fall that scarred her knee.

The one on her ear, I had removed over a year ago, but it came right back. Though now it is bigger.

What should I do? I tend to get over protective because I do not want her to get scraped, fall or get injuries. Since her skin does not heal well. I do not want her to be self conscious, because with girls it is all about the "looks."

Thanks in advance, for any responses.

This rash has appeared on my lower legs and it is the most bizzarre looking pattern. It is identical on both legs and feet. It is painful, tender to touch, even to have clothing on is painful. It gets deep red and then fades, but it doesn't go away. My joints swell and are most painful when it is at the reddist color. My ankles, feet and knees become stiff and hurt so severely it is problem to even walk across the room. I have picures I can show but not able to post them with this question. I will email the pictures to anyone who is interested in seeing them.

I have a pimple, and I heard toothpaste works wonders...but I'm a little skeptical. Kind of worried, will it hurt/burn? And does it actually work?

Ever since I've had my son 3 years ago my scalp has gotten dryer and dryer, and really itchy. When I scratch it a lot of flakes come off. It itches mostly around my hairline from my ears back, but sometimes my whole head will itch. I get my hair colored about every 3 months, and all of the anti-dandruff shampoos I've tried (from the store and salon) strip the color from my hair. I do live in a dry climate so winters are especially rough on my skin. Please help - any suggestions?

A friend of mine has an ingrown toenail and it is a chronic condition. She can't really afford to get the nail removal surgery every six months and the crap that they put on her toe(I assume it's NaOH or Phenol) doesn't work on her, however unlikely that sounds. I know that prices are different for every doctor everywhere, but I'd like to know what some of you have paid for a matrixectomy(The matrix is where the nail grows from) or similar procedures. I just need to form a ballpark figure. She's desperate and I need as many people to help me as possible.

Thank you
