I do not have terrible acne, but I do get get breakouts of one or two giant pimples. They are impossible to pop, and if i do, it just makes them worse. I heard that the Proactive stuff really works, but im not convinced.

Any ideas on something that is good at tackeling single pimples, as opposed to an complete acne treatement for the entire face?

head. We took him in to see his pediatrian who stated he had Tinea (ringworm) and gave us a presciption for 2 creams Hydrocotrizone and mystatin. We use it for 2 weeks and it cleared. a couple of days after we found little spots all over his head so we took him back and they gave him Fugero which is a prescribed ointment and what we have noticed now its dry up and on the spot it comes back again. now i have taken him 6 times in a month to see his pediatrician and tried explaining that he does not look like a round circle which is the appearance of ringworm and he keeps prescribing a different ointment every time. Last week, i noticed they now look like sores with pus inside now. I have not bursted any due to his scalp is so tender and they dry up to look like a wound. can anyone advise due to i feel very much for my son. Itches it a couple of times a day. Am tired of shaving his head but this is the only way one can see this sores. do i tell the doctor to recommend a specialist.

Yesterday I woke up and had 2 blister like spots one on my middle finger, and one on my thumb, I thought I may have did it cooking the night before. I now have about 8 on the hand it started on and 2 on my other hand. They look like small blisters and they burn and they itch like mad. I am very anal about washing my hands, and I haven't switched soaps. I can't think of anything thats changed

At first I thought maybe I just had an allergy to whatever plastic they were using, but my husband has the same bluetooth device and is having the smae identical health problems, to the point that it is too painful to use them, and we've only had them a little over a week.

I just asked a question regarding my son. At the public pools, we use the family change room with my 8 year old son, and many other parents also use it for their kids who are older then mine.

I see alot of Asian Mothers with their sons old as 13, and their mom making them stand under the shower soaping them down to make sure they are totally white, and the mother lotioning and lotioning her son herself until they are completely white and you can smell them 10 feet away. My son is 8, and the other kids with their mothers are in my sons swimming class, and the class is ages 8-13.

Are asian mothers worried alot about their skin or what is the deal? Not being racist. Just very curious

I am 19 years old. It's weird because I never had a pimple problem until a few months ago and now they just keep coming and coming and they don't stop! It's like I was supposed to go through this as a younger teen but now they just keep coming. I wash my face 3 times a day with neutrogena pimple face wash and st. ives face wash. These pimples hurt too. I don't know if they're puss filled. What should I do?

I've had a bump under my armpit for about 3 months now. It turns from flesh color, to red every now and again and has increasingly started to hurt as time goes by. Today I discovered that the top of the bump, on the surface of my skin is squishy and EXTREAMLY sore to touch and for me to move my arm. The bump under the skin has grown and hurts increasingly more than it has before.
I've gone to the doctors and everytime they say come back if it gets worse. Any suggestions as to what it may be?

These past days it has been cold here in California.

I do have a job dealing with papers and documents, filing and all that. But I usually never have contact in the back of the hand. usually if i get cut, it's in the fingers and papercuts in the nail entrances .

The back of my hand is really dry and looks red like if i got burned. But i didn't get burned. so could it have been the cold weather?
