Skin Conditions - November 2007

i've had a stinging itch sensation all over my body on and off for the past month now. i went to the doctor and she gave me a low dosage steriod to take for a week. she also gave me zyrtec. i finished the steriod and the stingy itch disappeared for about 2 and a half weeks, but now has come back. i'm also taking zyrtec but this is not helping. can anyone help????

It hurts to wipe after I urinate and can be mildly itchey. The Dr. can't find anything wrong. I wonder if taking caffeine pills is making the 'female' liguid sensitive to my body. Any thoughts on this embarrassing issue?

Not my big toe, but the toe next to it..Is ingrown! Its so painful, and has swelled up so much. Looks as though its filled with puss!

I cant bare to wear socks or shoes because of the pain it's causing.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this without having to have my toe nail removed?

But my left side has blonde eyelashes or eyelashes with no pigment so clear. And my right side has brown eyelashes.

This makes me look terrible uneven. I was just wondering is you do not have pigmentation in your hair will hair dye stick to it. Have you ever tried to die your hair?

I have tried to dye my own eyelashes but the dye did not stick...but i thought maybe if i go to a salon that has better dye it may.
Thanks

sometimes there`s a scab (flaky like a dandruff) forming in the inner and outside (especially at the back) part of my ear. even if i dont have a wound. and it is VERY itchy. the scab can be easily removed. does anyone knows what it is? I`m planning to visit a dermatologist next week, but for now i want to know your comments. thanks in advance.

Hey,

I had surgery about 4~5 years ago on my leg which left a pretty big scar (maybe 3" x 1").

Does anyone know of any ways to get rid of this, or minimize the appearance? Perhaps a cream that has worked for you, or something. Thanks.

I have heard that when using contact lenses dark circles will tend to form under your eyes, is there anyway to avoid/treat this?

There is better cleaning product that will keep you and your family safe. There is too much chemical in the outside air, so we should try to keep our home more safe.

first off i am a 27 year old male. about two months ago i noticed very small white zit like bumps in my pubic region. now i work around hardwood like red oak and stuff and thought it was just an irratation, but i have been fired for 4 weeks now. they do not itch, hurt or anything all i have noticed is that when i pop one it will bleed more than an average small hole will. they group together only in my pubic region not on my penis or scrootem, and i have none on my butt just in my pubic region. i shower daily and i am a very clean person. the last time i had sex was 5 month ago and was with a woman that i have been with for 4 years. now i am with a new girl that i like alot and i have been pushing off sex because i do not know what i have or what it is

I'm starting to get acne problems and I'm shopping for spot treatment products. I know one way to go is benzoyl peroxide, but I don't like the fact that it may lead to cancer. Then there's salicylic acid. I haven't heard anything too bad about it, but I'm wondering if you have. I know it can cause drying, but are there any DANGEROUS things I should worry about? What kinds of skin types does it work best with? Thanks.

I am currently using acne free, a 3 step program I bought from Walmart. I have been using it for about 4 weeks. I would like to know about how long it take to see a clear face with any type of medications, to figure out if I need to wait a couple more weeks or just call my doctor for a dermatologist referral. thanks.

I am seeing small baby step progress, and I didn't expect much more than that. So far, I see that i do have smoother skin where I am not affected by acne and I have only seen one new pimple within the past couple of days. Are those good signs or should I be expecting more at this point?

I was with a friend the other day who came in contact with someone who had to be hospitalized for MRSA, and my mother was in contact with a coworker who was hospitalized with it.

I got a small pimple-like thing on my chest, and then another next to it and it has a patch of lighter skin around it. It's REALLY small and pretty unnoticeable though. There is another thing that looks like a pimple next to it. It seriously could be nothing and I could just be breaking out. The thing that worries me is the patch of lighter skin around it.

I don't have any open cuts or anything, but I did get my nose pierced two weeks ago and I know that MRSA carriers have it in their noses. I'm a healthy 19 year old, I don't play sports, go to a gym, etc. I do live in a college dorm but my bathroom is only shared with 4 people, it's cleaned regularly and we all use our own products.

I know it could be and probably is nothing, but what should I look out for?

My left ring-fingernail has been growing really weird.If I feel over the nail, the nail feels bumpy and un-smooth. So there are like little hills on the nail. Is there any way to correct the nail so that it will grow smoothly again? [NOT by filing, it didnt work for me]

I have a rash or irritation located in my left armpit and it seems to be spreading. It is red, swollen and I get pimple like bumps in the same location. I have tried switching deodorants but no change and it is only under one arm.
