im serious! im really trippin over about this.

Skin Conditions?
It could be a mole that should be looked after.
If you have always had it and it's not changed,don't worry. If it has changed shape, dimension call your MD. Next week.
They will take a look at it and let you know if it should be removed. Many people have moles or birthmarks - that take an odd shape - as long as they do not change you are fine.
Bring it up at your next Physical though to ease your worries.
Personally, I think you are fine

Skin conditions?
Has anyone heard of a skin condition called urticaria? I have it and i was just wondering how many other people on here have it too... I'm sorry if im being nosy or anything. I was just wondering how bad your personal case was and what you personally do to treat it... i'm sorry. please answer my question! THANKS! %26lt;3
Skin conditions?
I have had urticaria for about 6 months now, no cause has been found. I also get angioedema, which causes my eyes and lips to swell up.
When it first started it was really bad. My whole body was covered in massive, raised, red patches, that were really itchy and sore. I also got the angioedema on my face, and my hands and feets swelled up so much the skin started to break.
I was initially prescribed a non drowsy anti-histamine, and had loads of bloods taken, which were all normal. Then a couple of weeks later I ended up in hospital as I was also having breathing difficulties. I was given IV Prednisolone (steroid) and an anti-histamine, and was able to go home the same day. I was also prescribed atarax for the itching and my anti-histamine was changed to Fexofenadine.
It has gradually got better since then, and now I only get the odd rash, which usually clears up in a couple of days.
I hope yours gets better soon.
Take care, Mel.

My sister is having problems with a skin condition on her left hand after water contact. The palm of the hand becomes itchy, stinging and wrinkled. It has the appearance of skin after being in water for a long period of time, although this is not the case. It only occurs on the palm of her left hand. It does not vary depending on the products used, eg. soap and shampoos. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

She may have eczema. The cause of eczema is not known but aggravating factors include hands that are in constant contact with soap and water, harsh household products and some vegetable juices. If a physician does not specify a particular regimen, Arbonne has some recommendations that might alleviate the discomfort and itching. Although it sounds silly, the ABC (Arbonne Baby Care) line is perfect as it is the most sensitive, pure, safe, and beneficial to her skin. She can also try the Intelligence Cleansing gel, Skin Conditioning Oil, Hand Cream, and Body Lotion. People with skin conditions have tried these products and experienced amazing results. The products are formulated withOUT chemicals, dyes, fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol, wax, acetone, etc. These ingredients have been known to cause irritation and dryness for those with skin conditions. They are botanically-based and pH correct, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. They are formulated with pure, natural, botanical ingredients. I would be happy to help you learn more if you're interested. Good luck.

I have had a skin condition for about 18 months that effects my hands, feet, nose, eyelids and, occasionally, my lips and mouth. It takes the form of little white pieces of skin that looks almost like cotton wool but hard. Around my nails, and the actual nails themselves, are particularly effected. The skin cracks and peels and my nails go soft, lumpy and break easily. There is no itchiness. I have been advised this is a form of eczema. I have tried various treatments through my doctor and even Chinese herbs and acupuncture, to no avail. Has anyone else come across this, and did they discover a treatment that actually worked?
Skin Conditions?
This sounds like a form of psoriasis and really needs treating by a dermatologist as it can get worse and worse.
Psoriasis occurs when the body makes new skin before the old skin has dies and fallen off.
It usually takes the form of red spots and marks or hard white cotton wool like skin.
You cannot successfully treat it yourself and there is unfortunately no cure but a dermatologist can help you to keep it under control.
A dermatologist will have access to stronger creams and better knowledge than a general doctor has so I recommend you see a dermatologist as soon as you can.
Reply:Are you sure it's not scariasis (sp) pronounced soorisis?
If it is then it can come as a form of stress.
Try to avoid red meat and alcohol if it is... That really helps
Reply:as madamspud says it sounds like psoriasis you need to be referred to a derm through your gp
will give you the address of a website i am a member of- you can check out to meet other sufferers if you want to and its full of brilliant advice

Skin conditions...?
what are some skin conditions that can leave little spots of pale skin...im like a dark almond color an have a pale cream colored spot on my thigh..an my leg.
Skin conditions...?
It may be vitiligo. Melanocytes make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Stress or different types can result in death of the melanocytes and, where they are gone, the only color will be given by the skin itself.
Did you hurt or scratch yourself in those areas?
I suggest you see a dermatologist. If it is vitiligo there is no much that can be done but it would be good to make sure there is nothing bad going on.
Reply:Don't know but it runs in my family. I'm light and have an even lighter spot on my leg.
Reply:sounds normal, some people get a disease that causes lots of those spots and if you get more and they turn pink in color then i would see a doctor otherwise dont worry too much, take care and have a good summer
