Skin Conditions - December 2007

ok so here is my story... for the past 3 months, my friends and myself noticed flakes (dandruff?) around my mouth.

i was told to put some cream on it and unfortunately i used dove cream which i discovered i was allergic to it when my mouth turned red hours later.

it's been two weeks now, and i've still got the redness and LOADS of flakes around my mouth.

i was told not to use vaseline because it'll only trap the germs and make things worse.

so i have 2 questions:
- Does aqueous cream do the same as vaseline?
- Should i use aqueous cream to help my rash?

please help :(

Thanks!

I noticed a few weeks ago that I had a cluster of three bites that swelled like puffy mesquito bites two different spots on my body. After a couple of days they turned red and flat. I went weeks with no bites. Then yesterday I slept on the couch and my stomach and back were attacked. I have five on my somach and six on my side and maybe a couple on my back. My children havent had any until that night. My son slept on the couch wth me and has two on his tummy. My dog doesnt show any signs of fleas. He is a fawn colored pug and fleas would be easy to see on him. I flipped my matress to look for bugs in all the beds and there is nothing. I looked in the seams and nothing there either. I am shampooing my dog to be safe. I am freaking out because I dont know the problem. What are these bites??

For the last few years I'll go through a period of time when I just break out in weird skin rashes/hives through out the day. Its totally random, out of no where i'll break out in huge pink rash on random parts of my skin. They rarely itch but its embassing having big rashes swell all of a sudden. Could I be allergic to something or what?

I am very tiny (4'10" 90 lbs) and I normally have chicken legs and when I woke up this morning, my ankles and feet are bigger in diameter than my calves. I am 45 and take high blood pressure meds along with depakote. Has this happened to any of you? My ankles never swell up. Should I be worried?

In the middle of last year i had really dry hands. I used lotion but it would only make it sting. This year i got it again and it itches really bad and it feels like flour. My hands are constantly red and when i take a shower the water hurts my hands. I only have it on one hand but its starting to happen on the other hand. It espiccilaly worst at the knuckle area. I think it has something to do with the soap i use to wash my hands but im not sure since i had it lasat year to!

I know it can not be cured but surely it can be controled. Doctor has prescribed all kinds of things and it will start to control it and then goes right back to the way it was. He changes to another and the same thing. Anyone have any suggestions.

ive had this lump under my skin on my right temple for a long time, id hate to guess how long and have it b wrong if that makes a difference in anyones answer, but ill just say like 4 months or so. sometimes its not so visible because it would b small enough that the skin wouldnt buldge out much, but its popped a few times now and some blood and pus comes out but it always heals up somewhat smaller but never acually goes away. it hurts too, but only when its irritated from popping. when its not irritated and i touch it its like i can feel it moving around under the skin like its just full of some fluid that just doesnt want to leave. im probably gonna go to a dermatologist at this point to figure it out once and for all i just hope its nothing serious, because i also have something like this going on between my eyebrows now that ive popped a few times now and its gotten much smaller, all i can describe it as is cystic acne, or a boil or a carbuncle, i just hope its nothing more serious
