Skin Conditions - September 2007

I know someone who has scabs ALL OVER her face and legs and arms. It's really discusting to look at... but the ones on her face are big... the only thing i can think of is that she picks at herself. I have a hunch that she is using drugs... but i am wondering what would cause these eye sores on her face???? I've heard that crystal meth can cause people to pick at their face... but can crack/cocaine also cause the same thing? or any other drugs?

my face isn't totally bad, but it is bad. I have little blackheads everywhere, especially around my nose and forehead. my face does get really oily, but when i use certain products, my face totally dries out. I have bumps that aren't really zits or anything but they are on my cheeks and around my eyebrows. is there an acne product out there (that works really well) to help me get rid of this stuff? I tried proactive and it's not really working that well.

I have some acne scars around my chin area, sort of on the sides, the jawline. They are not the deep pitted kind, but the kind that has left behind, a reddish purplish mark. My derm said these fade, but they havent. Or a new one just comes along. I really want to get rid of these. Im 29, i've never had good skin, i want it. I see people having boob jobs, nose jobs, labiaplasties, you name it...all i want is clear, flawless looking skin. What are some procedures i could have done or are there any creams i could use? Doesnt matter how thin i am, or how good my hair looks...flawed skin just isnt pretty.

I dont get sun burn i just get a nice tan, to is tricks me into not using sun cream or a hat. I work on ships I have just spend 4 month sailing around tropics and medeterian and middle east. In that time I got little white spotts on my chest (not zitts) and i got grey patches of hair on my head.

At the time i thought it was all random but when i got back the doc said it was too much sun and my body is warning me that i am spending too much time running around on deck with just a pair or shorts and sandles on.

I am 17 and the grey hair thing looks with out of place so i have died it now you can never tell.

But does any one else get this problem or is it just me?

Over the summer I used Retin-A and by the second week of August it ran out. My acne was clear at that point (maybe 1-2 pimples a month) and I recently switched to Tretonoin (similar to Retin-A) two weeks ago. Well Im back in college and I am starting to break out more than usual. Im wondering whether it has to due with the severe weather change (from mild 75 to really hot 100) or is it the Tretonoin im on. Im puzzled because the medicine says you will break out within the first few weeks but if it was the same as my original (Retin-A) then how is it I am breaking out. Maybe a different formula meaning different brand or is it the weather? Please give me your opinions. Thx.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and have to wear a splint at night. If I don't I wake up with numbness in my fingers and pain in my wrist. Since wearing the splint, however, I have developed a rash on my hand. I saw the pharmacist who prescribed a steroid cream but told me I should only use it for a week at a time. Also suggested I wear cotton gloves in case the splint was causing the reaction. I have done all he suggested but still have the rash. Does anyone know of any natural or homeopathic treatment I could try?

My 14 year old son sometimes get a painful rash just where the earlobe touches his face. It is wet and then it forms a scab or crust which he is tempted to rub off, but it forms again. I will take him to a dermatologist but want to know if there are any other ways to deal with this.

ok so i've had this wart on the palm of my hand sice 5th grade. im currently in 8th grade and now i dont only have a wart on my palm but about 2 or three on my middle finger on top like right where it bends. ok so we've gone to the docter to get them frozen off like 3-4 times a year and once they get frozen they go thru the normal process of dying. swell up, turn black and fall off. then about after 3-4 weeks of being completely healed, a lil dot of shiney pink skin forms on my finger and palm. then after a couple more weeks, it turns into a wart. its not the same wart dying and coming back, for they are in different postions on my finger each time, but they just arent going away!! its so embarassing! especially when people ask whats on ur finger and u say oh its a wart and they go eeeewwwwww gross!

i just need to know if anyone has had the same prob as me and or what they did to cope with this horible virus

thanks :]]
