What type of cosmetic can i apply on my face and neck to treat my skin rash?

In Nigeria, we are experiencing harsh weather now and during this period every year I go through terrible times with rashes all over my face, neck and on my hands.|||I suggest using soaps with glycerin. If a female, use oil free make up and I have sound that Dove moisturizer works the best or Vaseline.Try lemon juice on the face. Can take lemon juice and mix with one egg yoke apply to face and leave on 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water. Or take and peel an orange and grind up the peel add a little water to form a paste and apply as a mask. Leave on for5 minutes then wash off and use the glycerin based moisturizer. Try reducing the intake of milk and white flour and foods high in iodine. Especially seafood.|||I am not sure what products are available to you but wash your "rash" area with pure and natural items.

Help!!!! john frieda shampoo for brunettes gave me a huge skin rash?

Stop using it right away and switch to something that you know won't cause the irritation.

In the meantime, you can treat the rash with some hydrocortisone cream.|||If you have a rash .. the your skin is allergic..

Take some benadryl or clairitn or clainex. .. Buy the 2 or 3 dosage the rash should begin to go down. But if it itches you should put something on it.

i need the the answer as fast as possible. If u dont know dont answer i dont no plz!!!!!!|||Dermatologist

In zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation and vitamin D and B synthesis. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.

Skin has pigmentation, or melanin, provided by melanocytes, which absorb some of the potentially dangerous ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. It also contains DNA repair enzymes which help to reverse UV damage, and people who lack the genes for these enzymes suffer high rates of skin cancer. One form predominantly produced by UV light, malignant melanoma, is particularly invasive, causing it to spread quickly, and can often be deadly. Human skin pigmentation varies among populations in a striking manner. This has sometimes led to the classification of people(s) on the basis of skin color.

Mammalian skin often contains hairs, which in sufficient density is called fur. The hair mainly serves to augment the insulation the skin provides, but can also serve as a secondary sexual characteristic or as camouflage. On some animals the skin is very hard and thick, and can be processed to create leather. Reptiles and fish have hard protective scales on their skin for protection, and birds have hard feathers, all made of tough β-keratins. Amphibian skin is not a strong barrier to passage of chemicals and is often subject to osmosis. A frog sitting in an anesthetic solution will quickly go to sleep.

Damaged skin will try to heal by forming scar tissue, often giving rise to discoloration and depigmentation of the skin.

The skin is often known as "the largest organ of the human body". This applies to exterior surface, as it covers the body, appearing to have the largest surface area of all the organs. Moreover, it applies to weight, as it weighs more than any single internal organ, accounting for about 15 percent of body weight. For the average adult human, the skin has a surface area of between 1.5-2.0 square meters, most of it is between 2-3 mm thick. The average square inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes, and more than a thousand nerve endings.

The use of natural or synthetic cosmetics to treat the appearance of the face and condition of the skin (such as pore control and black head cleansing) is common among many cultures.|||dermatologist|||Dermatologist|||dermatologist|||A dermatologist|||a dermatologist|||dermatologist|||dermatologist but if you have HMO go to your GP first|||Dermatologist|||A Dermatologist|||a dermatologist would be the best|||dermatologist.|||A Dermatologist.....they are a doctor of the skin.|||to a dermatologist...skin specialist|||A dermatologist.

Can any of you women help me out with a skin rash problem?

My back breaks out in a every once in a while, from nothing in particular, at least I don't think, but it's so itchy. Do any of you ladies have any idea how I could rid it or prevent it from happening? Thanks so much.|||You can break out any place you have skin, though usually it is worse on the face and back. It sounds as if you have either a built up of dead skin cells or dry skin. You can break out from either. The way to prevent it is to use a loofa or back scrub sponge to slough off the dead skin, or one of the body scrubs which have tiny bits to help do it. Also consider the soap you are using. The body doesn't really need a deoderant soap all over, in fact, it doesn't really benefit from a deoderant soap anywhere if you bathe daily. A nice mild soap, or in your case a soap with some added oil or cream would be best I should think. If your skin is dry, soaking in a warm tub with added bath oil- not bubble bath- one or twice a week will help as well. So will applying a body lotion to the damp skin after bathing/showering, then just sort of pat drying. That will help your skin hold the moisture better.

If you are breaking out and itchy in areas where your bra straps rub, it might also be due to the laundry detergeat, laundry aids, or fabric softener/dryer sheets. They leave residues of soaps and perfumes in the clothing, which is why clothes smell so nicely after washing. They may irritate skin, though. More so if it is not all being rinsed out well in the wash. I use liquid detergeants and run my undies in an extra rinse for this reason. I will break out and have really itchy skin otherwise. When I am able, I buy detergeants without added perfumes and such, just to avoid the problem.

I hope this helps you some. I have a tendency to dry skin and I have had a lot of improvement with doing these things.|||it is herpes, you should get to the doctor.|||You should see a dermatologist. He/she can probably presribe an ointment. They will know what to do. And you say it happened more than once. You need to have something on hand.

It could also be your laundry detergent/softener, or your bath soap. You need to remember what you ate, wore and did right before you break out. It could also be stress, breaking you out in a rash. You can take Benadryl and use an anti-itch cream on your rash. If you can't figure out what's causing it, see a dermatologist.

What is the quickest way to get rid of a skin rash from Laundry detergent?

Is there any creams that get rid of it quick, or oral meds., lotions, body wash? What else to do?|||ARGH! I have been there!! It's called Contact Dermatitis. Time is your friend/enemy. Obviously, don't use the detergent. Try Benadryl orally, the OTC coritsone creams are a joke, so if you can, as to get a prescription hydrocortisone. Also, ask for a prescripton for Atarax, that TOTALLY helped me out.

Otherwise, there isn't an easy way; fewer showers, gold bond powder, soft loose fitting clothes....call the doc and ask for the Atarax, that was my saving grace. Its's cheap too.|||Is the rash from the detergent liquid or is it from the clothes that you wore that were washed in it? Either way get rid of the laundry soap and take a shower with regular soap. Use some hydrocortisone cream if you have some and if it itches take an antihistamine like Benadryl or Claritin.|||Take benadryl and put hydrocortisone cream on it.|||Anything you use will make it worse. Don't use that crap with perfume in it. You are allergic to the perfume ingredients in some detergent and probably most creams and lotions. Rinse yourself off with just water. Run your clothes through the washer without any soap or detergent. Also it may be the ph of your water, You may try a few grains of baking soda rinse in the shower. , If it is soft, use a few drops of vinegar.|||Yes, you can take benadryl and hydro cortisone. You can also take vitamin C, a natural anti histamine and lots of water to clean out your system. 1/2 a gallon daily. Oil of Oregano internally and on the skin. Of course you should avoid the detergent. Be sure to try to detoxify your body and increase your immune system as rash is a sign of to much toxins in your system and or stress and or a low immune system. Oil of Oregano surely takes the itching away. And has no side effects. And the meantime be good to your self and do some fun things.|||As a healthcare provider I usually order a shot of Decadron and a med called Medrol Dose Pak. It is a quick course of corticosteroid. Atarax is good for itching. Benedryl will help, but causes sleepiness. I usually give Allegra. Avoid the cause...of course. and there are prescription strength cortisone creams...but the shot and the Medrol Dose Pak work quicker|||Benadryl by mouth at night, benadryl cream during the day. Unfortunately, that kind of rash is like getting a burn and it has to heal. So keep the area moisturized. Aloe vera would probably be a good choice. If it's particularly itchy or painful, you may want to consider the aloe with the painkiller lidocaine in it.

I find All Free and Clear and Purex to be the best to keep the rashes away. Also, bounce makes a dye and perfume free formula that is the first one my kids could tolerate.

How can i provide my dog
relief from skin rash?

i'm hoping to find home or over-the-counter remedies as we've just spent $150 to find out he's got an allergy, but have yet to figureout WHAT he's allergic to! thanks, in advance.|||oatmeal shampoo...the oatmeal removes the irritants from the skin only problem is you have to keep shampooing them every couple of days. since you will need to shampoo so often, careful on the temp of the water since too hot or too cold will leave them with dry ichy skin.

skin so soft from avon also helps, but will leave their coat oily.

we have the same problem with our younger dog and thought it was fleas for the first couple of years, though we couldn't find any fleas. its seasonal allergies...just like a human would get....she struggles with this in the spring for a little while...then it subsides during the summer but comes back really strong in the fall (ragweed season). it is getting better as she gets older...the bouts don't last as long.

oh..one other thing to try...if hes not already, switch his dog food to lamb. if its a food allergy, dogs are almost alway NOT allergic to lamb...if hes still ichy, that will rule food (his own dog food anyway, not table scraps) as the culprit.|||try using hypo-allergenic food.|||Give him a luke warm bath and give him a benedryl tablet hidden in a peice of burger or cheese.

Also, dry chamomile tea is good to make him relax and more ocmfortable..very good for him too.|||although their intentions are good the only thing here that might even come close is the oat meal shampoo but,I doubt it.You WANT SULFODENE you can find it at WAL-Mart.It's yellow at trust me it works been raising animals for 60 years nearly,have lots of long haired dogs that go through it every year at this time.Write it down SUlFODENE|||I have a lab with allergies. I can't for the life of me figure out what its from and for a vet to find out is very costly. I gave her benadryll also. My vet gave me prednisone also, but that's a steroid and is not good for them to take all the time. It's good to use when your dog is just completely miserable. It works. Try and get some if you can for those times when your dog just can't take the itching any more. The baths that the other people recommended are great too. I started feeding fer all natural dog food. Its called Wellness and they have a variety. I use to feed her the fish and sweet potato, that worked really well because the fish oils and omega fatty acids helped her skin so much and gave her relief. They just came out with a allergy formula and I switched to that about 4 months ago and she hasn't been itching at all. Good luck. I hope something helps.|||There is a product that you can get over the counter from your vet called Neocort. It is a anti inflammatory. Just rub it onto the infected areas of your dogs skin it will reduce the redness and inflammation. The other important thing is to try and figure out what is actually causing the irritation to your dogs skin. This can only be done with a proses of elimination. A few things that you might like to try is the dogs diet put him/her on a food with no artificial colours or preservatives. Try using a low irritant washing powder on his/her bedding.

The other thing you can try is to wash him in a product called Maleseb available form your vet over the counter, it is a medicated foam Wash. you use it like normal shampoo but leave it on the skin for about 10 minuets then rinse it of. Continue to do this every two weeks. If this starts to get on top of it then get a oatmeal shampoo i recommend Epi-sooth also get from your vet over the counter so use your maleseb one time then the 2 weeks later use the epi sooth.

I have a question about my acne/skin rash?

It bothers the **** out of me. I know it's weird but I actually wear make-up now to cover it up. I hate wearing makeup.

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=periora...

Perioral Dermatitis

http://www.aad.org/public/Publications/p...

How is this condition treated?

An oral antibiotic, like tetracycline, is the most common treatment for perioral dermatitis. Treatment may be needed for several months to prevent recurrence. For milder cases or pregnant women, topical antibiotic creams may be used. Occasionally, your dermatologist may recommend a specific corticosteroid cream, just for a short time to help your appearance while the antibiotics are working.

What can be expected with treatment?

Most patients improve within two months of oral antibiotics. If corticosteroid creams were used for treatment, there may be a flare-up when the creams are stopped. If antibiotic treatment is stopped too early, however, the problem can come back.

To learn more about perioral dermatitis, call toll free (888) 462-DERM (3376) to find a dermatologist in your area.

Is vaseline any help for a normal skin rash?

not really. it could irritate more b/c it doesn't allow the rash to have air and could trap germs.

use benadryl or hydrocortisone cream instead. this will help reduce the reaction and help with any itching. you can find it at any local drugstore. these creams are absorbed by the skin so they won't trap germs or block air.

you can also use oral benadry tablets but they will make you sleepy so no driving or being out and about. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6 hours (no more than 4 doses in 24 hours).

I think they have a new med to help.|||I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!

Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.

I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.

There is a great website: http://acnehomesolution.com/index.html that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

I have a question about my acne/skin rash?

I'm an 19 year old guy. I have perioral deratitis. It is when you have red bumps around your mouth. Essentially it looks like acne but it has this name, so I will refer to it as acne. It bothers the **** out of me. I know it's gay but I actually wear make-up now to cover it up. I hate wearing makeup. I can't grow facial hair, so I was thinking could I buy a fake beard that looks real and just wear that . Any ideas if that would be a good idea, and if so where I would get this legitimate looking fake beard.|||Don't buy a fake beard! You would prob look worse. Try acne meds, there's pro-active or there is an imitation of that they sell at CVS called Acne Free. I also wouldn't recommend using makeup. It clogs your pores. If none of that works I would go and see a specialist.|||aww..dont get a fake beard. it'll make your condition worse cuz your skin wont be able to breathe. i'm sure there's some kind of treatment you can get from a dermatologist.|||Try going to the dermatologist and perhaps he/she can prescribe you with something to clear it.|||I've heard about the deratits. I think getting a false beard is one the dumbest ideas anyone ever thought of. No offense to you or anyone else that buys them, but they make no sense, unless it's for a costume.

If there's no way to get rid of it, then try to find ways to make it look not as red. Try going to a store like "bath and body works", and getting a 3 step face cleaner. They may be a little more hygene then what you might be used to, or a little more pampering then you prefer. But trust me, in the long run, it'll be alot better then wearing make-up, or a false beard.

You can also try wearing moisturizing masks at night. When I say mask, I don't mean the green kind that hardens, the kind you see int he movies. They have masks that are clear, green, many different colors, and some of them don't really dri hard. As they dry at night, they crack, so your face has room to move, but it won't come off until it's washed off.

Masks aren't made for just woman now. Men actually have a few better face cleansers then woman do! So don't think that there's anything wrong with a guy wanting to use an atrengent(however you spell it), a toner, and a moisturizer. The mens versions are made for those who want to make their skin look better, feel better, and just have confidence in themselves!

Wish all the best of luck!! I'm wearing my lucky pants, so...........lol

What are some simple home remedies for an itchy skin rash?

make a paste with either cornstarch or baking soda %26amp; smooth over skin. Leave on until it begins to dry.

OR

Soak in a luke-warm oatmeal bath. they sell Aveeno bath but you can do this with regular oatmeal that you grind in a coffee grinder.|||http://ezinearticles.com/?Relief-for-Ecz...|||get a frozen bag of vegtables or anything frozen really and put it on the rash and the rash will stop itching|||DEPENDING ON WHY YOU ARE ITCHY,a bath in Aveeno , calamine lotion, body lotion with aloe, no alcohol,it dries the skin,|||Try bathing with Aveno. You may get this at the grocery or drug store. Benedryl gel or lotion also work well. You may also take Benedryl in capsule form. Corn meal sometimes is good too. Make a paste or simply put on your skin. Most importantly, try not to scratch it because it will feel worse and may become infected. Also, try not to get too warm as this will increase the sensation. Good luck.|||Oatmeal or chamomile tea bags to soothe the swelling. Depending on what caused the rash...meat tenderizer (for bee stings) or aloe (for relief from burning/dry skin rash).|||The surest and certain remedy is applying alum solution on the itchy skin . I directly dip the alum crystal in water and apply it to my skin and the itch %26amp; the rash due to scratching goes away in 3 to 4 days time. Note it may burn slightly if you have scratched and bruised your skin but it does not matter the itch would stop immediately and the cure take place slowly.|||There are many remedies that you have in your pantry. Oatmeal, Olive Oil, Milk, Yogurt, Avacadoes, and Bananas to name a few.

Here are the recepies:

Oatmeal: grind in a coffee grinder or blender if you do not have a grinder. Place the oats in cheesecloth or wrap it in a hand towel and run it under water... warm but not too hot, as hot water dries out skin! If you can get some Calendula petals from the local Health Food store... they are a wound healer and skin conditioner, blend them with the oatmeal!

Extra-virgin Olive oil: The properties of this oil are deep penetrating and quick! Rub this on your skin or add it to a warm bath.

Salt - Sea, Kosher or Table: Sea is the best, then Kosher ... use table if that is all you have! Two cups to cool bath water and you will NOT want to get out! Salt is a skin softener! There is a old wives tale about curing any skin rash or wound by swimming in the sea. This is so true... Sea salt works wonders!

Milk and Yogurt will soften skin... add powdered or liquid milk to bath... mix yogurt with ground oats rub on skin... softs

Avacodo and bananas heal skin problems... pulp and apply as a

past!

How do I clear up a skin rash on my dog? It's not bacterial she was already on antibiotics, it's not fungal I'

I agree with all the answers so far, so I will just add one more thing.

Have you tried switching shampoo? Perhaps the one you are currently using is drying out her skin, and causing her to scratch it raw. Try something formulated with conditioners specially made for sensitive skin.|||desitin for diaper rash helped my dog. rubbed him down with it and it cleared it up fairly quickly. or other diaper rash medicine gold bond etc.|||Is it allergies? Depending on the dog size you could put her on benadryl. Research on line for the appropriate amount per day and talk to your vet.|||My dog has had lots of skin rashes. I just buy this stuff called "Sulfodene". It clears it up in about a week. This stuff also gets rid of infections. Also good if the dog gets a scrape or abrasion, and it works wonders on hot spots. Hope that helps!|||I would ask your vet about it, they will have the best answer for you. Good Luck, i hope it clears up soon.|||OK, Aveda oatmeal works great! It is safe, just make sure not to get it in his/her eyes. I'm sure the rash is from dry skin if it is not bacterial. And if it does not work it will not hurt him/her.|||Hey, if it is not bacterial or fungal, then it is probably a type of allergy to something he came into contact with, and possibly a flea allergy. I know you may not see a flea on your dog, but just one flea might have bitten him and then jumped off, which is all it takes for a dog with a flea allergy to get a nasty rash. This happened to my friend's dog. He had a nasty rash, and we tried everything to treat it as bacterial, fungal, etc, then we finally went to the vet and the vet said it was from a flea bite. If you try putting a fresh dose of frontline on your dog, and the rash doesn't clear up in a few days, then you know it is most likely dermatitis. If the rash is just a rash, and not an open wound, go ahead and put some Benadryl cream on the rash to give your dog some relief.

I hope this helps. I know so many dogs with skin allergies and it can certainly be frustrating.|||you must also rule out a food allergy. Try feeding a senstive skin food. It should have more omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and vitamin e to help witht he skin. Until you know it's not a food allegy you might have to swith food a few times.

Try science diet senstive skin or natures recipe they have fomula the doesnt have any wheat or beef or chicken in it . It might help

Have you ever heard of a skin rash with the named "ECA" for short? The name of it is very long.?

It is painless and itchless. Round like a ringworm but looks like a bullseye. It is not a fungus though.|||Could be empitago, or lyme's disease. Those are the only bulls eye rashes I've heard of.|||ya i got it from yo momma!|||is it egzemia....maybe i dont know, maybe it was suppossed to be EZA....just a guess now so dont hold it on me hehe|||If your "ECA" is actually called Eruptive Cherry Angioma or Hemangioma, then they are basically benign collections of dialted blood vessels that come to the surface of the skin. (bulge to the surface) They are mostly harmless but because they are often red and/or purple and can look like moles gone bad, people often ask to have them removed. Most dermatologists won't remove them (I know, I have asked) since by doing so will disrupt the blood flow since they are blood vessels.

ECA is common in both men and women between the ages of 30-50. ECA "spots" often show on the chest and arms but can appear anywhere.

If what you have is actually showing some inflammation or bleeding, please go see your Doctor as this may be a sign of something that requires treatment.

I have a very bad skin rash around my mouth, i need some advice please.?

First, please bear in mind i cannot go to my doctor because they only work in mornings and the queue is literally 150 people long, around half of those people get sent home (even at 7:00 in the morning)

Anyway here's the story:

Once upon a time, a school boy of 14 years of age had flakes around his mouth.

He had these flakes around his mouth for 2 months.

He decided it was time he did something about it.

He put dove cream on his mouth and hours later his mouth turned red.

HE WAS ALLERGIC TO IT.

For 2 weeks, his mouth has been red and flakey.

He went on yahoo answers and asked if he should put aqueous cream to treat it.

They told him yes.

He put it on, and it went VERY red.

It was so red, that he decided to put his mothers mousse make up thing on his face to blend it out.

It worked, however, the next day it was redder than ever!

- IF UR A DOCTOR OR ANYTHING MEDICALLY RELATED PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR ANSWER! -

Thankin all that answer|||Put aloe vera on it or vasoline. You can also try anti-itch cream. BUT TRY TO KEEP HIM FROM SCRATCHING IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!|||I am a doctor. Nobody in here, including me, can treat you or advise you on your rash because they can't see it to make a proper diagnosis. Even if they could, diagnosing rashes is a very challenging business. Go see an actual doctor, preferably a dermatologist, and stop trying to treat this on your own. DON'T put anything else on it unless and until a doctor tells you to do so.|||Get some hydrocortisone cream. That will calm down allergic reactions. You can buy it at any drug store, grocery store or WalMart. You do not need a perscription, but you can ask the pharmacist questions about what is available and the highest dosage to use.

I am not a doctor, but I have had allergies all my life and find cortisone cream can clear up a lot of the red itchy things that plague me.|||Sometime there,s some medicaid ed ointment that you can use for sore or rash.|||I'd try a topical antibiotic cream %26lt;neosporin%26gt; - and just dab the area with a clean, warm wet wash cloth - also pure vitamin e may help (buy the gel pills and cut in half).. apply before bed.

It is obvious you are very sensitive also you may want to drink a lot of water, take vitamin c orally -

Perhaps taking a benadryl tonight may help with any allergy -

if this does not get better, sadly, medical advice is your best option. Most medical questions on yahoo should be taken with the best option of seeking real medical help -

USE only pure and natural things - the face is an area that is sensitive - and prone to breaking out -

Can diabetes two cause a skin rash?

After washing, dry the area thoroughly and put cream on it straightaway to lock in moisture.

When i shave why do i get skin rash, burns, cut skin with blood spots?

Your skin is not even, and when the razor goes over it, it "shaves" the top layer of skin off.

Try the "Bump Guard" razor, or get an electric. The trick to the electric is that you have to use it EVERY day. There are very few electric razors out there that will take off more than a day's growth.|||THROW AWAY YOUR CRAPPY RAZOR AND BUY AN EXPENSIVE ONE. DISPOSABLE RAZORS DO THAT TO SENSATIVE SKIN. ALSO DON'T USE ELECTRIVE SHAVERS, THEY DO THAT TOO. SPEND AT LEAST $20.00 ON A GOOD RAZOR.|||you need a mach3 or m3 power. my guess is that you have a single bladed razor and you're actually pulling out the hair without realizing it...|||It could be due to several reasons

your razor is blunt

you're using cold water which causes the skin pores to tighten

you have sensitive skin

you're shaving against the skin grain

you're pressing too hard

When shaving,

splash your face with warm water to open the pores and soften the facial hairs

Use shaving foam or gel

Get a good safety razor like Gillette

Don't press too hard on the razor when moving it across your skin

If all else fails, get an electric razor|||What are you shaving with? If you like a hand razor, use good blades, like Gilette Atra, make sure they are clean. Use good shaving cream, like Noxema. Wet your face before using shaving cream or foam. Shave after taking a shower or soaking your face with hot, wet towels. Take your time, use slow, easy strokes.

If you use an electric shaver, don't. Too hard to keep them clean. The cutting heads get dull.

If your problem persists, see a dermatoligist. You may be allergic to something, causing a rash, which gets sliced off by a razor blade.|||Because you are proberbly not doing it properly.

Shave against the hair growth, change your blade reguarly, clean in luke warm water between strokes an try using a shaving oil rather than a cream or foam.

Can penicillin be used to kill a skin rash??

.......due to an allergy or something like that??|||Penicillin is an antibiotic and is therefore used to kill bacteria. Penicillin would only be helpful in getting rid of a rash that is caused by a bacterial infection. It will do nothing to get rid of a rash caused by allergies, sun exposure, irritation etc.|||penicillin sometimes CAUSES a rash. i wouldnt use it.|||Penicillin is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by bacteria, not allergic reactions. Go see your doctor.|||If you don't know what has caused your rash, you cannot know how to treat it. Penicillin kills bacteria. Your rash may be caused by poison ivy, detergents, an STD, carpet burn, insect bites...you get the idea. If you think the rash is due to an allergy and you're not having anaphylactic symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath, an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or a diphenhydramine cream (Benadryl) may give you some relief.

Thankin all that answer|||It sounds like eczema.

Some dermatologists recommend using Cetaphil cream, which is over the counter. Cetaphil is fragrance-free and doesn't have a lot of harsh chemicals, so it shouldn't make your skin red.

It helps to apply your cream or lotion right when your skin is wet, in order to absorb better.

It also helps to gently exfoliate your skin, which helps remove the flakes.

You may also want to consider food allergies. Sometimes eczema is the result of a food you're allergic to. Peanuts, milk, oranges, and shellfish are most common. It might be helpful to keep a food journal and see if you notice a connection.

Also consider what shampoo and soap you're using. Is it something new? You may be allergic to it. Using fragrance-free soap or cleanser is usually best for sensitive skin. This is a great product - http://www.californiababy.com/super-sens...

Stress is a factor too. If you have a lot of stress, it can definitely cause skin irritations. Chamomile tea is good for stress relief.|||Yeah, go to the Dr. anyways!

not Yahoo answers|||Your daughter sounds as if she may have eczema dermatitis. Take her to the doctor as this can and usually gets worse. It is caused from allergies. Take her to the doctor. Do not try to self medicate the problem. When eczema has gotten to this point, over the counter hydrocortisone creams do not help it.|||Either an allergic reaction to something or excema? Is she having difficulty breathing? Is she coughing or scratching all over?|||How old your daughter is?

May be she is having allergi to some cloth or bed linen or nappy rash.

Is the rashes are all over the body?

Don't wait go to a peadiatrician|||is it flaky at all? could be dermitis. best bet is just to try topical hydrocortizone creams. if that doesnt work go to your family doctor and he'll probably prescribe some stronger stuff.|||It sounds like Eczema Dermatitis. Best to take her to a doctor immediately as this can worsen. Make sure that she don't scratch them no matter how itchy it is bcos it will spread to other parts of the body if she does that!|||My grandsons both got measles, even though they had the measles vaccine. The doctor said the vaccine isn't 100% effective, and they broke out around midnight on a Sunday.

Your description isn't very detailed. Hot, itchy, red patches could be anything from hives to an allergic dermatitis. I would have the doctor take a peak, but, for now, try some calamine lotion. Most 24 hour supermarkets and drugstores have it. Might give her some relief until you could see the doc.

I do hope she feels better.

I have a friend who has a skin rash?

I have a question about my acne/skin rash.?

Thursday, July 22, 2010

I have a bad skin rash for two days. its very itchy. i am scared of antiallergy tablets. can i use sedofan ?

I don't understand why you are scared of a pill. Anyhow, you can get some Benadryl spray. Go to your pharmacy and ask for a spray or ointment that works on skin. If you can't swallow pills you can get a liquid antihistamine

Next you need to figure out WHY you have the rash. Have you been to your doctor? Get some mild soap to use like Dove which is most recommended by dermatologists. Also get some non scented laundry soap and fabric softner to wash your clothing and bedding.|||I have a spot on my neck and I was told to try a lotion with Chamomile in it.

Can you get a skin rash or welts from using crystal meth?

Yes from what I've heard on TV documentaries. The users are covered in sores because of scratching at the crawly feeling the drug gives them. It's a poison to your body and you should get help to quit.|||Yes, it wreaks havoc on the skin. Cysts and rashes are common, which are aggravated because when a tweeker finds something like that, they're more inclined to "poke" at it, making the skin worse.

If you get high and find this is a problem, try to remember to wash your hands both before and after touching any skin lesions.|||That's what I hear. I clean and repair houses for a living and I cleaned one that was a meth lab, and now I've been getting rashes and welts.|||I wouldn't doubt it. A rash would be the least of my worries though!!

Common immediate side effects:

* Euphoria

* Increased energy and attentiveness

* Diarrhea, nausea

* Loss of appetite, insomnia, tremor, jaw-clenching (Bruxism)

* Agitation, compulsive fascination with repetitive tasks (Punding)

* Talkativeness, irritability, panic attacks

* Increased libido

* Dilated pupils

Side effects associated with chronic use:

* Drug craving

* Weight loss

* Withdrawal-related depression and anhedonia

* Rapid tooth decay ("meth mouth")

* Amphetamine psychosis

Side effects associated with overdose:

* Brain damage (Neurotoxicity)

* Formication (sensation of flesh crawling with bugs, with possible associated compulsive picking and infecting sores)

* Paranoia, delusions, hallucinations

* Kidney damage (from Hyperkalemia)|||Yes, look at how horrible these people look after using meth:

http://www.drugfree.org/Portal/DrugIssue...|||Yes !|||Yes. When you use crystal meth one of the ways it gets out of your system is through your pores in your skin. It causes your skin to become very oily and you break out. Most meth users have a bad habit of picking at their skin, causing the breakouts to get worse and causing breakouts to turn into large open sores on the skin. Rashes could be because of an allergic reaction or if you are injecting meth.

Has anyone developed a skin rash after angio-seal operation to unblock arterys in leg?

Angio Seal is a small device that is used to close the hole in an artery after it has been entered either for cardiac catheterization or for intervention on the arteries in the leg. It actually sits on the artery which is fairly deep in the patient.

You may be having a reaction to the dressing over the puncture site. If it's still a problem, try a little hydrocortisone cream.

Is a complete body skin rash, after weeks of too much sugar, a symptom of diabetes?

An adult male with diabetic mother and grandma.|||no but if you have to pee alot and drink alot then those are symptoms i have it and it sucks|||No, it isn't. It is probably a severe allergic reaction. The primary symptoms of diabetes are headaches, exhaustion, excessive thirst, and frequent urination.|||possibly|||hhhmmm... go to a doctor or a dermatologist, but i'd say it could just be malnutrition. or an allergic reaction to whatever you were eating. believe me it's possible, i had too much soda once and i paid the price with LOTS of itcy red skin and hives.

symptoms of diabetes are frequent urination, incessant thirst and hunger, and coma.|||No that's just a coincidence. The main symptoms of diabetes are: 1. frequent urination

2. Constant thurst and I mean CONSTANT

3. Always hungry

4. Rapid weight loss

5. Cronic fatigue, like you can't hold your head up even if you wanted to.

But, I'm no doctor. if you really want to know go to a doctor. you should probably go anyways for that rash, icky.|||A skin rash is likely an allergic reaction unrelated to Diabetes. See a Dermatologist or seek allergy testing to find out what might have caused the rash.

I have a circular skin rash that looks like a ringworm with raised bumps, but it is not responding to lamisil?

Try using Dr. Scholl's Lotrimin Ultra. Lamasil uses Terbenafine Hydrochloride as the active and Lotrimin Ultra uses Butenafine Hydrochloride which is proven to work better than Lamasil.|||See a doctor.|||It's probably impetigo. You need a prescription ointment to treat it. It is infectious|||I you are not responding to the Lamisil, talk to your pharmacist and ask them what they think you should be taking. Phramacists are sometimes more knowledgeable than doctor are on medications. Then talk to your doctor about the pharmacist's recommendation. Good luck to you!|||Please see the web pages for more details and images on Lyme disease. Consult a dermatologist.|||From the description you gave, it's not possible to determine what it is definitively. A doctor would have to look at it.

Hopefully it's not a Lyme's Disease bullseye rash. The general recommendation is to take a picture of a circular rash before it disappears in areas where Lyme is prevalent, for this purpose.|||Get a bottle of high grade Tea Tree Oil (melaleuca alternifolia) - it is naturally fungicidal, antiseptic, soothing and won't irritate your skin - the best natural remedy you could use and has no side-effects like prescriptions

How do I get rid of this skin condition? Skin rash, itchy blisters/boils, lasts 3-4days becomes hard scales.?

This condition is on both feet ankle area. First noticed after using college football kit ie socks and boots. Dorment in cold weather and very active in hot weather. When you prick the blisters, a sticky fluid comes out and it is painful.|||Go see a dermatologist.|||You should really go see a doctor. If you take advice from a bunch of strangers (largely bored teenagers and self-proclaimed experts), who knows what you'll end up with.|||Either you need to speak to a foot doctor or you're turning into a horrible fish person!|||It sounds like eczema. You need to get treatment from a dermatologist.|||It is probably a form of eczema as it is on an area prone to sweating. You really need to get it checked out and properly diagnosed as it will not just go away.

All the best !|||sounds like a form of athletes foot. you need to get treatment.|||You are potentialy heading for hospitalisation or death.

Now that i have your attention...listen up sport.

You have a bacterial infection, which if not treated by a doctor could turn into a virul infection ad result in cellulosis which is blood poisioning.

The poison is like the venom of a snake...you could die from low blood pressure bottoming down to the floor.

Treatment: Wear cotton socks..and sandals... stay away from soap...you need "Fusibet cream" and probably a coarse of anti-biotics...

The heat and lack of circulation in your boots created a hot bed for the bug...GET RID OF THEM....

Go to the Doctor or your in for a very unpleasent trip!|||Consult a Dermatologist. You appear to be suffering from fungus

infection.|||It sounds like a fungal infection like athlete's foot which is easily treated, but I would suggest a visit to your local G.P to confirm diagnosis. In the meantime, washing your feet several times a day is recommended. There are several creams and foot powders on the market which will help to contain the problem and offer relief. Sweat is the main contribitutory factor here, so common sense tells you to wear open shoes when possible avoiding heavy footwear including socks. If socks are necessary, cotton is best as it will allow the feet to breathe.|||I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and it sounds like athletes foot, you can get medication at the chemists. If it spreads then it could be scabies. i would let your Dr check it out before treating it yourself both conditions are highly contagious. OR it could just be excessive sweating, this causes a fungal infection as well. Try tea tree oil in a foot bath twice a day, it won't hurt any other conditions that I've mentioned.

9 year old son developed a skin rash 48 hrs after penicillin injection for strep. should we be concerned?

Sounds like an allergy. If the dr. has sent him home with antibiotics too, don't give him any more. If it gets any worse, i.e. swelling etc. it would be better for him to the e.r. You could call your dr. tonight, usually they have and answering service, that will call the dr. to let him know tonight, and then the dr. will call you tonight. If he was an adult I would tell you to give him a benadryl, but not sure of children's dosage.|||I bet it's an allergy. That's how it was found out I was allergic to penicillin.

Do paleontologists get any kind of skin rash or contact dermatitis from handling fake dinosaur artifacts?

If Satan is so evil, I assume he would have some kinda cooties.|||No, but I often sneeze when I read the Bible!|||They always have a Dr at the dig site, just in case. It has long been suspected that since about 1824 when the first of Satan's buried fossils was identified, that he might have booby-trapped the fossils with diseases......just as "god" booby-trapped the garden of eden with the "forbidden fruit."|||Yes.

It's called demonitis.|||what does satan have to do with dinosaurs?|||Why does everyone assume we (Christians) think "Satan put those fossils there"? We don't. Dinosaurs lived alongside man in pre-flood days and even for a while post-flood. That's why scientists are finding human footprints and dinosaur footprints in the same rocks and riverbeds, not to mention ancient pottery decorated with pictures of dinosaurs. The flood itself is why we find so many fossils - the organism needs to die quickly in order to be fossilized, and a lot of organisms died very quickly in the flood. And in the pre-flood world the lifespan of all living things was a lot longer, meaning that some lizards, who never stop growing as they age, would have been huge. There's your dinosaur artifacts.|||No, it just makes them unattractive to women.|||No. But I always seem to burst into laughter whenever I'm near a Bible, or whenever Christians start preaching to me or ask stupid and ignorant questions like that.

Edit: CL RICHARDSON - Not "everyone" assumes all Christians think that. I, for one (an Agnostic, at that), know that there are plenty of open-minded, intelligent, and rational Christians in the world (like you) who realize that dinosaurs existed, despite the fact that they're not mentioned in the Bible. (Nor are the years of Jesus' life between the ages of 12 and 30 - but he was still alive and on the earth, wasn't he? Yet where's the irrefutable proof of THAT???) It's just ignoramuses like this questioner who give the rest of you a bum rap.

I need some more information on the condition of the area. If it is Shingles, has your friend had the Chicken Pox yet? Shingles and Chicken Pox are both from the Herpes Zoster Virus. Sometimes, (only after having the Chicken Pox first) the virus lays dormant in the nerve bundles in the body and when a person is stressed, they flare up causing a painful, itchy rash area on the skin.

Benadryl is an antihistamine that is available in spray form and in a cream form.

Place a small fan near your work station, keep it on low and in the direction away from you so that you'll get some ventilation from the chemicals. I hope that this helped some and Good Luck.|||I think you need to get an allergy test. The test that would examine your blood and the results would tell on which things and food you are allergic.

One way you can check is to buy an anti-fungal cream (like for athlete's foot) apply it sparingly on the spots and if you see them fade after 1-2 days, this is what it is.

I have not seen any that cover the entire torso and so quickly. It could be just about anything. Any new changes such as soap, laundry detergent, new sheets (unwashed) or new clothing (unwashed)? Could be an allergy to something you came in contact with. As the one writer said, it could be bed bugs, fleas or scabies. With scabies you will notice linear "tracks" where the little critters burrow under the skin. Try over the counter Hydrocortisone cream. Ask the pharmacist for the best kind to get. And I would get to a Dr. right away. Oh, the hydro cream will NOT get rid of any bugs or dermatitis you may have.

Is the skin rash shingles contagious?

We know someone with Aids and they have shingles , just being cautious.|||Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another.

However, the virus that causes shingles, VZV, can be spread from a person with active shingles to a person who has never had chickenpox through direct contact with the rash.

The person exposed would then develop chickenpox, not shingles.

The virus is not spread through sneezing, coughing or casual contact. A person with shingles can spread the disease when the rash is in the blister-phase. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious. A person is not infectious before blisters appear.|||Shingles is contagious if you come in contact with with a sore on there body, but the aids isn't contagious just by touching them.
