Then just last summer I started having this pimples like rashes on my triceps and just this winter my dandruff got worst it spread to my nose and to my ears and to my eyebrows. Is this a sign that I have HIV? Help me please. :( Im very worried.
Now after 8 weeks, I have just started getting dandruff on my hair and itching around my eyes and ears and nose. I went through some articles about these itching (dermatos)and one of reason for HIV. Now I am totally freaked out. Am I infected??
Doctor, I never ever penetrated into her. Else whenever I had sex, I always use 100% protection.
Am I to worry?
Please advise.
I have someone with red blotches on his face starting from his hairline down the side of his face to his chin. Whenever he is in the sun, these spots get brighter and they itch. The spots are not scaly. Whenever he applies a dandruff shampoo to it, it eases and goes away. He has been told that it is the dandruff that has run down to his face.Others say that it is his high alcohol consumption which is in correlation to some liver disorder. The spots tend to look like ring worm but not exactly.
About a month ago, I left some red spots on his back near the waist, which were resected. Also in the arms, which are dry and virtually disappeared. Others are still in the outskirts of the axillae and nipples, still red and sometimes I get itchy. They are more scaly and red when I shower with hot water.
As I said before, these spots are red, sometimes cause itching, are scaly and look like "wrinkled".
These waxy crusts attach themselves to hair follicles, and if picked at, come off with clumps of hair (sometimes 4 or 5 hairs together). These crusts do not itch or burn. I also have some redness/flaking skin occurring around my nose, eyebrows and forehead. I have done some research and the symptoms of my scalp and face seem to be consistent with seborrhiec dermatitis. Any help with treatment possibilities would be appreciated.
it causes lots of dandruff and its like a thick layer of dead skin and when i pick at it. it bleeds. not a lot but enough to concern me. ive stoped picking at it cause obviously thats not good. but i want to know wat else this could be because nothing ive used for psoriasis has helped anymore.
i dont know if its dandruff or wat, but it doesnt come in flakey form. it comes in tiny hair forms. they are white dust like particles which are in my hair and they never run out. what may the cause be and what should i do to stop it? i used to wash my hair every day/twice a day if i play ball. for the last 3 days ive tried shampooing every other day, but i do still wash my hair with water. but no good, there are still a massive amount of dust in my hair. What sort of illness is this?
I am 22 right now, when i was 15, i had very oily skin. Then i had a period of acne, dry skin and dandruff. Right now, i have these red patches around nose, around my hairline and my collarbone. The ones at my hairline and collarbone are itchy. and Sometimes i feel itching sensation on random parts of body but no rashes. I also have dandruff, it's been 7/8 years with it, I use zinc pyrothine shampoo but it's temporary solution.
I have a non itchy rash on my cheeks, chin,bridge of nose,and temples,that is light red in color.It is also not all the same size,some areas look a little like welts. any ideas?

My daughter (who is 15) has has redness around her nose since late December. It started off just barely noticeable, but now it goes out an inch from her nose. It is a little oily, it feels kind of bumpy, at first she tried Vaseline, and that kept it from spreading and flaking, but she stopped using that. She is now using Johnson's soothing naturals and it's not helping much either. I don't want to have to wait to get her into the dermatologist.
I know Cradle Cap is used for babie's that have it but i just cannot remember the real name for it.
Anyways my mum seems to have it and she's in her late 40's.
The first time she got it was a few months ago, it started off with a severe itchy scalp and red itchy spots on her neck/back, then she woke up with a shock, her scalp was covered in yellow crust, it was awful she was so distressed, i had to get it out with a nit comb. That time she was suffering from stress.
I'am Terrified, worried, scared, stressed, everything in the book at this point.
The last time i had sex was with my ex on june of 2007!!!
it was unprotected but it was a 10second thing, in and out.
i was 17 at the time, she was 16, iam now 20 years old, i see her everyday, cause she goes to my karate school, her dad is the owner of the school and he's the one who runs it.
now here's whats scaring me!
-around 15 I started getting bad dandruff. My scalp would become very greasy and scaly. I still get dandruff and my hair is very oily (just like my face.. oily + dry)
-around this young age I also used to get patches of itchy red skin on my face some times... almost looked like sun burn
-I also used to get flaky yellowish patches of skin on my face
-The inside of my ears and directly behind them are usually dry
-Currently I don't usually get any red patches on my face..

Most of these whiteheads form above his lips and on his cheeks. Occasional blackheads in side cracks of nose. The worst is always-present massive pimples/boils from his neck,along his shoulders and anywhere on his back - sometimes on his belly and chest. They are dark red, giant under the skin and eventually form a head and ooze pus and blood.
At first i thought it might be tinea versicolor because it was kind of blotchy and does glow in the blacklight. but i have tried antifungal creams and shampoos to no avail. it doesnt itch or anything. i dont know if it glows in the blacklight because it is flaking skin or because of a fungus? i can scratch off little pieces of skin. what could it be? its not red, its slightly lighter than my regular color even when i tan, i think maybe just because it is dead skin coming off?
About 2 months ago I noticed the skin under my nose, where I shave, is very dry and it flakes up like dandruff. The area is only where I shave on my top lip and only affects the area where I shave. I dont shave off my mustache. Lately the dry area has been spreading to the edge of my lip. The area gets real dry, the skin hardens and it became darker than the rest of my shadow on my face. I can natuarlly get darker in the summer due to my puerto rican/south american descent.
Apply it twice in a week at night and keep overnight. There are many anti dandruff shampoos in the market which you can use. Comb your hair well and massage your scalp well. If dandruff persists consult a skin specialist. Once this resolves the lymph nodes will disappear on their own.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
