I drink plenty of water daily and i take multivitamins as well. not sure why i mention that but if that informations helps. Is there any suggestions as to what i can to do solve this problem?

Recently (a few weeks) I developed very itchy, dry, flaky skin under my chin and on my upper lip under my goatee. It itches much more under my chin than on my lip and it's much more flaky on my lip than under my chin - odd, I know. The only facial product I use on my face (other than bar soap on occasion) is Just for Men Beard & Mustache coloring.

The bumps are small in size, round (red/pink with white center) and look like a small blister under the skin, After a few days, they increase in size and begin to raise out feeling hard and waxy. If broken, they produce a sticky clear-yellowish substance that dries hard and waxy again, but does not seem to wash off.

Just a thought, I have PBC and AIH so I can suffer terribly from itchy skin. It is that bad that you want to rip the skin off. Now my meds have sorted I am ok for now but I did have something general at the start which was helpful. Questran. This product is for itchy scalp conditions, scalp meaning the skin all over the body. Also , a general vitamin E6 cream to put back some of the essentials on to the skin helps. Try anything, its worth it as not every remedy suits every person.

Sounds like he needs to see a dr to see if he has some kind of staph infection in his blood, that is causing the pimples/boils.

I am desperate and have dealt with this my whole life. I have itchy bumps on my entire arm/shoulder area which leave horrible scars. I am unable to wear short sleeve shirts most of the time. The bumps will start out as red welts, which turn into tiny, tiny white heads. These things itch uncontrollably! Sometimes they fill up with with the pimple like puss. If I squeeze them I get some relief. Dermatologists state this condition is eczema, I do not believe it because A.

My husband has large itchy, flaky skin on his scalp and in his beard and mustache. It flakes in large yellow chunks that tend to be quite thick and if scratched off will often bleed. It is embarassing as he has large yucky flakes falling out all the time. He has tried prescription shampoos which worked for a couple months only. Now he uses a different kind of shampoo and conditioner every time he washes his hair which helps a bit but not much. Also have used different oils, etc.

I have a cluster of red bumps with white tips, very itchy, when scratched it is painful, I try not to scratch them but its almost impossible. The cluster is located on the left lower back, it started 2 days ago. I am getting other clusters in the stomach area also now.

Lately I’ve been getting it more often, once or twice a month, and not only around my right eye but it has spread to an area under my nose and my chin. I feel it spreads more and more every time I get it. It starts by getting red and slightly inflamed. Then it starts to itch (a lot!) and if I scratch it, it weeps. The liquid turns yellowish and it creates some kind of scab. A few days later it dries up to the point that it flakes off. I’m not sure if it’s an allergy or a skin conditions.

This is in addition to a question I saw posted earlier, where the responder didn't quite understand the person's intention. I WANT to grow a beard, but when I try, after about 3 or 4 days, my skin erupts in a rash. It becomes inflamed, very thick, flaky and painful, especially around the jaw bone. I have tried to "get through it" but people around me have said my suffering is not normal hair growing itchiness.

Whenever I place a hot towel (with hot water) on the area concerned, it itches and relieves it temporarily. I cannot see any visible spots under the beard but sometimes after I shave, it leaves a trail of bumps (not red or white), within the skin. Please help as I have had this problem for years. I use anti-septic soap to wash my face once-a-day and shampoo once every-few days.

My husband gets red flacky skin around his nose and beard. What would cause that, and is there anything I can get to stop it.

It has been 4 days with no sun or pool and I am still having a reaction. Also the under belly of my arms that didn't get any sun are also itchy and have tiny bumps only at itchy moments. Back to the dermatogolist I suppose for my 5th visit.

* Ringworm infects your scalp or beard. * His skin does not improve after 4 weeks of self-care. If suspected ringworm does not respond to routine antifungal treatment, further diagnostics must be performed, like a skin biopsy, a fungal culture, or a skin scraping for fungus identification.

Hi, You may be having skin tags or warts. Skin tags are extensions of all the layers of the skin and are caused by obesity, diabetes or other causes. Warts are caused by infections by viruses, leading to extensive growth of the outer layer of the skin. Warts spread through auto-inoculation as well as injuries at the sites makes them propagate, this is known as Koebner phenomenon. If this is a wart, there is a fair chance that more will crop up.

This, these little white things, like a fiber of a thread or tiny hair a milimeter or three long, and little white dots about the size of a grain of salt, that might at some point in their development, bite or bore into the skin leaving itchy red bumps, need to be treated like bird mites, scabies, bed bugs, parasites, whatever they are, collembola, slime mold, don't know yet, and the doctors don't want to know either. But--VERY IMPORTANT--don't use chemicals or pesticides.

The rash started on the right side of my neck and quickly spread to the centre then to the left side it is red and pimply in some spots, felt like there was something under the skin in another spot some spots, it was very tender,itchy and inflamed, and would get very irritated from colar of coveralls rubbing on it at work, i let my beard grow out for a week and though it was going away but when i shaved it irritatated it and now its just like it was before and looks a little bumpy..

I was told by my dermo that I had Seborrheic dermatitis. It was dry itchy and scaly under my beard, in the nose folds, ears and eyebrows. I was given desonate gel to use for 2 weeks and things calmed down. However now I just have a redness itchy forehead. I put moisture cream o it and it doesnt really help. Is this still donsidered Seborrheic dermatitis? And would the desonate gel still be the right rx to use?

For the last couple of years I have had a problem which has caused me great discomfort. Whenever I grow a beard, my skin around my beard (in the SAME certain areas) are sore and itchy. Whenever I apply a HOT towel to those areas, the feel of relief is tremendous, but also causes excess itchiness (especially in hot climates).. Whenever I shave, the area on my skin is mainly clear with a few red spots on both cheeks (similar to red bumps and without whiteheads).

It is a cluster of small red bumbs and slightly itchy at times. Under magnification the bumps tend to look like minute blisters. My daughter had recently had something a little similiar to this (but hers was more scaly..mine is not) and the dermatologist prescribed a combo of Nizoral and Westcort. It cleared hers up fine..so I gave it a shot...nothing. It tends to clear up and just when I think it's gone, it will pop back up in the same general area, but not the exact spot.

On the other hand, miliaria or sweat rash presents with small and sometimes itchy rashes that occur at the face, neck, under the breasts and under the scrotum. Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions. And usually resolve. Try to avoid activities that induce sweating and avoid hot and humid weather. Topical antibacterials or antibacterial soaps may also help. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination is essential.

Also worthy of mention is my suspicion that I actually have a skin fungus on a couple of 1 inch spots in my beard. For a couple of months I noticed myself occasionally itching the same spots on my beard and on closer inspection, I noticed skin flakes coming off in those areas.

If you are NOT circumsized, then you should definitely clean yourself every day and especially under the foreskin. If you are circumsized, you can let it go for a couple days here and there and shouldn't have any major problems... I keep myself shaved down there... Not with a razor blade, but with a portable razor like someone would use to trim a beard. That keeps the general smell down because hair traps sweat and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, etc.

The rash itself is cocentrated on my jawline, somewhat like a beard would be. It is red, scaly, iritated, mildly itchy. Absent are zit-like pimples, whiteheads and so on. I am intersted in your input. I have done independent reseach. Looks like a facial yeast infection, however; I would like to know other ideas. I have been to an allergenist. Nothing worthy of mention. I am slated to see the dermatologist the end of this month. Thanks.

Reason I ask is the skin is very thin under the jaw and how would it be removed and would it require stitches?Also can a good dermatologist tell by looking at a mole if it is benign or not?I also have 2 small red moles on the back of my neck I want removed because of haircuts and one of them is starting to itch.Is itching always a bad sign?

I was recently diagnosed with Seb Derm. Have had redness on the side of my nose and under my eyes, and tiny flakes in my beard for about a month and a half now. I was given the Ketocy...2% cream which seemed to do absolutely nothing for 2-3 times a day for two weeks. I do not really have any problems with dandruff other than some small flakes from time to time, which usually go away with H&S Shampoo. I am in good health and have good personal hygeine.

Hello, Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes flaky, dry, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas esp under the nose or anywhere on face. You can treat flaking and dryness with over-the-counter dandruff or medicated shampoos. Shampoo the hair vigorously and frequently (preferably daily). Active ingredients in these shampoos include salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Red, semi itchy red bumps and some white, some with a scaley white dead skin over and a "black head" in the follicle. In the lower middler jaw, besides large red razor bump spots there were 2 masses under skin they would move if pushed around. They did not hurt that bad but get inflammed at times and have had them for a long time off and on, hair stopped growing over them.
