so near the bottomish cheek/kind of chin area on mostly my left side my skin feels like a liittle bumpy but not like acne and u cant see anything but i can feel it. its kind of on my upper cheeks too a little now. it feels like i didnt rinse my face after my daily pore cleanser with microscrubbers. help?|||it's probably inflamed/irritated hair follicles or pores. The cleanser may be too harsh. You shouldn't use micro scrubbers with inflammation. Try witch hazel or a gentle soap like ivory with no scented chemicals. If that doesn't work, just a few days washing with water only. Keep your hair tied back away from face too,hair sprays,conditioners and so forth can contribute.|||thank you so much for answering you help a lot Report It
|||Sounds like you're reacting to something like a product, hair product, a sweater near your face, etc... Exfoliating and calming is what you need to do. Use a gentle scrub, nothing too harsh, and then use a soothing skin cream. Not a thick vasaline type product, but one that will calm the skin.|||GET FACE CREAM|||have you maybe eaten something new or unusual that maybe causing a reaction?

My whole face skin peels off so flaky&itchy&rash too, no cream can help. What should i do?
My skin problem happened a month ago after I ran out of medication as I moved from Thailand to England. I used to apply L.A.G. cream on my face as my Thai doctor told me to. She refused to tell me its chemical name, only said there's lots of ingredients. She told me I had dry skin problem and this medicine'll help reduce the flakes. I was surprised cuz my skin didn't look that bad at all but I believed her and used it.
I have no allergy record but my skin is peeling noticeably, worse than before I used the medicine. When i touch it, the flakes fall all over. I also feel the whole face is stretched all the time (the feeling on the face after u wash your face with strong soap). It's also itchy and red all the time. Now, I start having red spots in the same area, too.
I didn't use face wash product at all after this occured. I've tried various kinds of moisturisers e.g. water based, gel+cream based, green tea extract, or even those anti-aging with SPF 15. None helped.
Pls help!|||Try an antifungal cream - Lotrimin or clotrimazole, on a small patch. If it has a beneficial effect, you may have eczema, which can be caused by candida (yeast) fungus.
You may want to read some basic info about yeast syndromes at www.hufa.org - the yeast link, before you do anything.
If you go to a dermatologist, ask him/her to test for the yeast fungus.|||I have two suggestions for you to try:
1) Aveeno lotion - made with collodial oatmeal and it really helped me
2) 100% pure Aloe Vera Gel. You can buy this at the Drugstore or Trader Joe's if you have it.
You can order these both from www.drugstore.com or www.walgreens.com too|||I wouldn't use anything if the person giving it to me refused to tell me what was in it in the first place. Maybe you should see a Dermatologist.|||did you try proactive my sister has it and it works|||Wash your face with an organic soap that has olive oil, lavender or aloe vera. Then use organic aloe vera gel at night. Leave the gel on as a mask overnight. It flakes overnight but it works to clear up the skin. Sometimes I also leave a light layer on my face as moisturizer.|||Go see a dermatologist right away, and describe to the doctor what the thai Dr. gave to you. Sounds like it really messed your skin up. Well once you get it resolved use keri lotion works great. I have very sensitive,dry, red skin it burned 1-2 days and now my skin feels great.

Red rash on my dogs skin?
Hi,
I have a cross breed of German Sheperd and Labrador. He is 12 yrs old now. Couple of weeks back he started having hair loss in patches on his back for which we gave him some medicines and he is recovering from that now.
But now he has got red rashes all around his testicals. Its turned all red and it itches him a lot. Also it oozes some colorless fluid too at times.
Can someone help me know what problem he is facing and any cure for it.
Thanks,
Aldo|||my grandmas dog had the same problem.
it was actually allergies to something, maybe like flea medicine?? started at the shoulders and moved down. he got scabs from it. but he got medication, dont know what it was called. but it wasnt a huge deal.|||Aldo,
He maybe having an allegic reaction or he may have a skin infection. You should take him to the vet and have it checked.|||has anything changed in your home lately? such as wash the carpets and not rinsed them in an area where your dog often sits? this may be causing a skin irriation, just logically fix it, i.e. rinse the carpet. If you can't think of anything or the rash doesnt clear up within a weak of the fixing consult your vet|||Were these "medicines" by any chance home remedies or over-the-counter stuff? If so, you could have made it worse. Take him to the vet!

What is this rash on the cat's skin?
She has these grey/black lumps on her skin, paw/chin/bum. She's had one before over her eye and it was just gone after two three days but there are lots now. Are they bugs under the skin or bites? Do we need to do something or just let it be like the first time?|||Even a vet wouldn't attempt a diagnosis like this, we can't see your pets and can't do any tests. Take your pet to the vet and if you're lucky it'll be something straightforward like ticks.
Even if someone else's pet has a similar sounding problem it may not be identical. Don't mess about with advice from 10 different people and 10 different home remedies, just go to the vet.
Skin mites burrow into the skin and yes, you may be able to see them.

My wife has a rash on her upper thigh, skin is peeling too what is it?
Its kinda a bumpy rash inside her thigh near her vigina. She wont go to dr or clean it regular. It seems to be getting worse. She is a big woman.|||Considering she is a bigger woman, and the location of the rash...this is probably heat rash (you can google it) or a type of fungus that is growing. On the other hand, if your wife is promiscuous then it could be some kind of STD since it is so close to her vagina. Its gross that she won't clean it (which is probably why she has it to begin with). It is stupid that she won't go to the doctor. If I were you, I'd refuse to be intimate with her or even sleep in the same bed with her (where you could rub up against that rash) until she goes to the doctor. If she doesn't its only going to get worse, painful, and probably spread. Good luck.|||maybe thrush... see the doctor|||big people often have problems with skin rubbing between the legs, she may be very embarassed, try to be sensitive about it, baby powder can help reduce friction.
Has anyone heard that dairy can irritate skin and cause acne/rash?
Absolutely, yes! My specialist told me that 100% of people over the age of 4 years are lactose intolerant. Some don't have symptoms or they have another disorder directly related which goes undiagnosed as lactose intolerance.
If you think about it, cows milk is designed for baby cows. It takes them up to a ton of weight in a few short years!
Milk has a lot of benefits as far as vitamins go, but I choose to supplement my diet with good quality supplements and eliminate all of the other problems milk was creating.|||Yes. It also causes increased muscus production.|||Actually Dairy especailly Skim Milk, can cause terrible acne, it is even worse then chocolate|||yeah if u are allergic to dairy products..please see an allergist for evaluation|||Very possible. Sugar does as well. Replace with Stevia and Calcium Citrate 500 mg per day (along with magnesium and zinc 10 mg if you want the calcium supported)
Dairy causes lung irritation and asthma.
For direct application, put a few to some drops of Essential Oil of Carrot Seed and put in your daily creme or lotion, or go to burtsbees.com and get their carrot day creme.|||It sounds like you might have a allergic reaction to it!!!|||http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_ac...

Is there any remedies for itchy skin that works/no rash?
My grandmother has had an itchy back for weeks and nothing is working? She has tried alcohol, peroxide, an oatmeal bath, cetaphil lotion, epsom salt, and coco butter and nothing has worked. Any suggestions, over the counter or medication?Thanks.|||Try some sunburn lotion. I know it says it's for sunburn but it helps with itch too. The kind I use is Ocean Potion. It has lidocane and aloe. (lidocane is what you get at the dentist)
It really helps to calm the itch a lot. It's approx $4.00 a bottle. I get it at Wal Mart if there is one near you.|||Have you tried the Aveeno Anti-Itch lotion?|||go to a pharmacy and ask they can help you if it is not a doctor.|||I know! I have that same problem and nothing seems to work.she needs willpower to not itch it and also,try rubbing some ice on the parts that are itching.it will cool it down...and if she can rub an actual ice on it,then try putting an ice pack wrapped in a small towel and compressing it to the areas of itching.|||trya baking soda bath or even pastign on bakingsoda onthe itching areas .
good luck|||cortazone!!!!!! works for everything|||why is her back itchy? does she have dry skin? maybe she should exfoliate and then use some plain old baby oil.|||She is probably not getting enough omega 3 oils in her diet. And then she can try the herb marshmallow to help retain moisture within, especially useful after menopause.
An excellent external topical treatment for dry skin is Emu oil. It penetrates very deeply into the skin. You would mix that in with a carrier lotion or oil. That is also really great for dry cracked feet, or sunburn. It also has healing, non-inflammatory properties (for rash's).
