Skin issues

I have hypothyroidism, but not taking any medications. Part of my problem is my face and skin. Under my eyes is always flaky (like psoriasis) and I've got pimples that are breaking out all over my face, but they are not like the pimples of my youth (without getting gross about how I used to get rid of them), now when I try to pop them nothing happens and they get bigger and redder and they hurt. The skin on my face is normal but my forehead is normal to oily and the areas ...

For some reason my feet and hands have all the sudden become very dry, to the point of peeling and cracking. My right foot is the worst and hurts. I've tried every cream I can think of and have been drinking more water. Any suggestions? It looks so nasty. ...

I've never had this before, but on my forehead and spreading to a small part of my cheek, near my mouth and on one side of my nose I've developed seborrheic keratosis. My PCP told me to use a very mild cleanser and hydrocortisone cream x3 daily, but it really doesn't seem to be helping much. The spots get warm to the touch and itchy and are really getting more and more difficult to cover when I have to go out. Has anyone else had this and found something a bit more he ...

so this morning i exfoliated my face as per my usual routine, but now my face feels so irritated and itchy. i'm not sure if it is from the exfoliant or what but i'm really uncomfortable here. I took an antihistamine thinking that may help if it wasnt because of the product, but it doesnt seem to have helped. I've been drinking lots of water too. To make me more anxious, i've got a presentation tonight in front of like a 100 ppl, and i don't want to go up there looking li ...

First I've heard of this, but I'm not surprised: http://www.newsmax.com/SciTech/fluorescent-bulbs-skin-cancer/2012/07/21/id/446116 ...

Mine is "fact of the matter". It was one my mother in law said constantly while complaining about something. Always following the phrase would be an opinion, not a fact. What are your pet peeves? ...

Have a skin tag located on my neck. It was red and inflammed looking for the last couple of weeks. This a.m. it has turned white and is just hanging on by a thin thread. Collar of my shirt(s) keep rubbing against it. Friend told me to pull it off. I don't think I can do that. Put a band-aid over it. Hesitant to pull it off as I am a diabetic. Don't have an extra money to go to a doctor. Anybody else have tihs experi ...

Well, I had my surgery on New Year's Eve, and came away with an 8 cm incision wrapping around my dorsal forearm. I got the pathology back and it was a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, 3 x 3.5 cm, all margins clear. Right now looking at the incision it's hard to imagine that he's correct when he says it will eventually be just a very thin white line. It looks like someone tried to cut my arm off. I have to go back every three months for a recheck ...

I was complaining to my doc about fine lines, crow's feet/smiles lines, and the beginnings of those "marionette" lines (nasolabial fold area) and was inquiring about botox or a filler. He told me I wasn't ready for that yet and instead prescribed Retin A gel. He said faithful use of this, starting judiciously and then increasing, would provide visible reduction in about 8-12 weeks. I've heard that Retin A (even the microgel) can be really harsh on the skin ...

If any of you have problems with brittle hair and dry skin, try a shower filter. The water in your shower is filled with chemicals, minerals, and the same or more amount of chlorine as swimming pool water. I just purchased an Aquasana shower filter. In less than 1 week, I have noticed a tremendous difference in the softness of my hair and skin. It is like showering in pure spring water. There is no way I would ever go back to using plain shower water again! ...

I have older (40) skin that is acne prone. I'm looking for a skin product that doesn't over dry as acne products can sometimes do because my skin is older and now wrinkle prone too. I use neutrogena moisturizer, aveeno dry skin oatmeal bar, and retin A. I only wear foundation maybe once or twice a week (neutrogena). I know it's the products that are causing me to break out because I used to use Rhonda Allison and didn't break out, my skin looked great, however, Rhonda All ...

Anyone got good skin rash remedies? I've had a rash on my left forearm for several YEARS.... it waxes and wanes, but is always dry and plaque-like. Very similar to psoriasis, but my arthritis is osteo, not inflammatory, so I'm pretty sure it's just some form of eczema. It's sometimes dry and scaly, sometimes weepy (especially when I scratch too much) and has become scarred as a result. I've tried everything: Cortisone creams, dry skin creams, ant ...

Ok, this is weird. Never had this feeling before, but I am getting up in years, so maybe it is just old age taking it toll. I am sitting in my living room, lights off, 3 fans going. We are in the middle of a heat-wave. Over 90 degrees outside, heat index over 100, humidity unbelievable. I live in an old house with old wiring. We tried window air conditioners, but could only use 1 at a time and only for a certain number of hours before it started blowing fus ...

He is unbelievable. His own kind (Democrats) are catching on. It's too bad he's had a free pass for over 5 years. The media should have confronted him head on. Can you imagine what he must be like when he goes home at night? link ...

I did not plan on being awake at 5 something this morning but so itchy. I have had eczema on my hands before and now my breasts are broken out, both breasts and just wanted to know if any had ideas for something around the house I could use to ease that itchy feeling. ...

I looking for a new skin care regimen. I'm 44 and have a round, chubby face which I used to hate, but now realize it has prevented me from getting a lot of wrinkles. I have a few fine lines around my eyes and those parentheses around my mouth, if you know what I mean. I'm looking for something to prevent future wrinkles and to work on what I have. I have freckles and have sun damaged my skin when I was younger, so my skin is blotchy without makeup. I ...

Right now I am really loving Renpure's hair products. I've been using their shampoo and conditioner (and have gotten 3 compliments on the health of my hair), but only just recently tried their Argan oil treatment. LOVE. As far as daily defrizzer: I've long been a fan of Paul Mitchell's (smells ever so slightly of green apple), but after many years my bottle finally ran out. I'd seen a promo of Bumble and Bumble's defrizz tx in Oprah� ...

I had a hysterectomy about eleven years ago. Since that time, I have had a lot of UTI\\\\\\\'s. I would assume it is because I have a prolapsed bladder or cystocele. I am seeing a Urologist on Thursday and I was wondering if he was going to recommend a sling procedure. Has anyone had this done, and are you happy with it? ...

Okay, I have always been a medium built girl, somewhat petite at 5'3 and always carried my weight well. Two years ago I quit smoking and packed on 20 lbs. I got busy working out and counting calories, and tried to change my eating habits. Okay, it was gradual, but I lost 10 lbs. Over the course of some months it continued to decline gradually. But this Winter around the holidays I pigged out. Then I went through a transition where I lost my job, quit cooking and eating healthy and jus ...

I had this posted on the main board and decided to repost it here. please respond if you have any info for me... TY I had an ablation about 1 1/2 months ago, about a week after I got a blood clot and then the heart problems all seemed to resurface.. My cardiologist says it's not the heart and I also have swelling in my legs and feet..also sometimes I end up with chest congestion during the night. My electophysiologist had said that I would be off all heart meds from before the procedure an ...

A very dear friend of my husband and I has gone off the deep end over the past year or more. He is a full-blown cocaine/crack addict and his family has all but disowned him. He pretty much does what he wants and is not anywhere near the point where he feels like he needs help. He has kicked his wife and her 15 year old daughter out of the house several times during his path of self destruction. Most recent was this past weekend AFTER he took almost everything in their ...

Since it has been brought up that libs supposedly don't want to talk issues, let's do just that... Issue 1: Foreign policy: What exactly is it that Romney would do different from Obama in the middle east? Issue 2: Besides trying to kill Obamacare and therefore healthcare for tons of people, as well as lowering taxes for the rich, what is it exactly that Romney would do to improve the economy? I'm assuming pubs have the answers to these questions as they are so sure that Romn ...

I'm seeing many posters going after other posters. Please keep your discussions to political issues. Stop making posts personal, assuming things, telling posters they are not credible, that they are crazy or wear tin foil hats or are trolls. If you have a personal grievance against another poster settle it off the board. Moderator ...

I wrote down below about outside cat that has eye issues. Some told me about L-Lysine, got that and started 1000 mg a day or so ago. What I would like to know, have some Vitamin C that I was giving him and he seemed to have brighter eyes. This morning his eyes again (after not giving him the Vitamin C, switching out for L-Lysine) were looking a little worse. Would it be any problem to give him both the Lysine and the Vitamin C? Thanks my fellow catfolks! ...

My daughter has been unble to get pregnant since she had a miscarriage 8 years ago. She found out her right tube is completely blocked. She wants a baby so much, and she would make a wonderful mother. All of her friends are working on their 3rd or 4th ones now, and she cannot bring herself to go to baby showers anymore. I encouraged her to look at foster care, since adopting a baby is expensive and takes forever. I am reaching out to my peeps on this board to see if ...

There are 3 families with young children who live next to me. My children are grown and gone. All of the children like to come to my house, probably because I don't have to discipline them, I'm like a grandmother. Anyway, I will label them family A, B and C. Family A is no longer allowed to play with family B or C - long story. I enjoy having all of the children at my house - I miss having children around. I have never had this problem before and I'm not ...

I don't even know where to begin. Right now, I am in such pain and emotional turmoil, but I know it is many times worse for my son. He has been diagnosed with autism (educational diagnosis) later changed to Asperger's, and the initial medical diagnosis was PDD-NOS with ADHD (at age 3). He is now in 9th grade and life is miserable for our whole family. I am coming to believe that he may actually have (either with the above or any combination of thi ...

I have no idea where to go to get some help for myself. I have tried every single speciality that I thought perhaps could help but this has been going on for over 10 years now and no help. Tried ortho, podiatry, neurologist, nerve conduction studies, x-rays, MRIs, nothing found and no treatment and still going on. If not for Birkie's, have no clue what I would do but still feet aching. My left foot used to have electrical current that would hit, only when walking, never at night. That elect ...

Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I have never, ever had any type of issues with sinus problems or allergy problems. Back in October, I got sick and was living in a house with probably some mold and other allergens. I got extremely sick and stayed that way for a couple of months. Since then I have had a stuffy nose, unable to smell, limited taste and a stopped up ear, so that has been SEVEN months now! I don't have insurance, so the only doctor I can aff ...
