Skin Conditions - December 2007

I was recently diagnosed with alopecia areata and have had steroid injection in scalp. Last night i discovered that my scalp seems to be indented right at affected spot. Can the alopecia be causing tissue death? If so what are treatments for this?

i am 7 mos out of back surgery for rupture at L4 L5...the pain im having is a result of lots of scar tissue wrapping around the nerve root as well as other places in the leg that was most affected. Is there anything i can do to get rid of scar tissue or at least significantly lessen its effects on me?

My poor Mum suffers from coldsores and has just developed 3 painful ones at once!

Does anybody out there have any tried and true remedies that she can try for getting rid of them fast? I have her on L-Lysine vitamin tabs at the moment but they're more of a long term treatment..

Thanks!!!! :o)

So, i've been on accutane for almost 4 months now. My time on it has been the worst 4 months of my life, period. In the first two weeks I had severe back pain then that faded away after a few weeks. When I went in at 3 months I had beyond severe joint pain, and I still have now after cutting dosage in half, I have to take ibprofen 3 times a day, I cannot even slowly jog and it hurts when i walk sometimes. Its also causing me to miss a PE class next semester, which im slightly worrried about. Anyways, after 3 weeks on accutane (1st 2 weeks half dosage), my face was smooth and all the acne from what I can tell went away and I have have dark red purple scars all over my face, my face has not changed from this in over 3 months. Is accutane going to clear up these scars because it is yet to help, and is the fact that im doing half dosage and probably will be doing 1/4 dosage soon going to screw up results, because all i'm thinking is..**** accutane this is screwing up my life.

I'm a pretty healthy gal (age 30), can run 1 hour without breaking a sweat, and have no known health problems (or history thereof). The one thing that bugs me lately are my knees -- they're stiff and sore during the winter and I get these weird tiny black-purple bruises (1cm) along the kneecap that don't hurt. I've heard leukemia does that to people, but again, I feel pretty healthy. Any clues? My doctors can't explain it and tell me not to worry. I don't trust one of them because he seriously misdiagnosed a friend whose health is now screwed for life.

For the past, maybe 2 weeks, I have been experiencing extreme dryness in my face ( mostly cheeks) where the skin will actually get so dry that it flakes off looking almost as if it were sunburn, only it is not. It is just dryness. I don't scratch it even though it does itch.... and I have been trying moisturizers to keep it from drying... Im just not sure what to do in terms of curing this???
I think it might be from the really cold weather because the same thing happened last year to me, although never before, and it eventually went away, but Id like to find a way to clear this up quickly and prevent it from happening next year.
Any ideas? and have you had this happen? If so, how did you stop this?



Thanks. =)

I think it might be blood clots. It does not itch or hurt. However, I feel really tired and out of breath.

Any suggestions?

PS- It doesn't look like a bruise and to my knowledge, I have not hit my arm.

My son started swimming lessons 3 days ago at the inside swimming pool. The chlorine and long time water exposure dries out his skin head to toe, and his skin gets all dry and sand paper like.

He is 12 years old, what things should I bring to the pool and use on him to protect his skin?

I had really bad acne when i was younger. I am through puberty and my face has cleared up, but i am left with scars from my chin to mid cheek (indents) it isn't noticable in the summer when i get pretty tan or if i do a good job with cover up, but it is still very embarrassing. any suggestions? (besides costly dermatologist procedures..)

ps. these scars are completely healed and have been for some time. i feel like its way too late now.

They are the typical "pitted" type. I don't need to know about any other treatments, I have already asked people about that...I am now considering laser treatment. I just wanted to know if anyone had it done on these type of scars, and how it turned out...also, does it lead to a new "scar" from the treatment, or how does it look after the treatment....thank you!
