Avatar m tn "Drinking alcohol does not affect folliculitis. " I disagree. I've had folliculitis on my scalp for the past 10 years. Over this time I've come to know very well what does and doesn't affect my scalp and I know that the more I alcohol drink the worse my scalp becomes. If I don't drink anything for maybe 2-3 weeks, my scalp almost clears up completely. After which the condition returns with a vengeance once I recommence drinking.

Avatar f tn m very clean, take a shoer everyday, clean clothes ect.. but this past summer I had what the doctors thought was either staff or MRCA on my inner right thigh. I was prescribed heavy pills and cream and after a lot of frustration and pain it went away. A few days ago I was shaving "down there" (yes i know it's not healthy but I don't like hair there) and I was shaving around my butthole and nicked myself a little. It wasn't bad and I ignored it.
Avatar f tn I have these hard white bumps in my groin area. They seem to be slowly spreading. What is causing them and how can I treat them?
Avatar m tn I had a red bump on my grown, the NP I saw thinks it's folliculitis but did not perscribe anything to treat it. I've had it for 5 days now and it does not appear to be much better, the pustule opened up yesterday but the skin underneath it still irritated and red. I'm worried about it, treating it at home with white vinegar hot compress and apply iodine. How long should this take to clear up?

Avatar n tn Two days ago, I noticed about 3 or 4 very tiny what looked like small "whitehead" pimples on my glans penis. The white portion has since been scratched off, or popped in the course of normal walking, daily activity and no it is simply a small red splotch. This does not hurt, itch, burn, etc. I have no burining sensation when urinating or any other symptoms.
Avatar m tn Ok is this poison ivy or possibly something else? It does itch, it's hot to the touch and obviously very red. HELP!!
Avatar f tn Im not sure but they look gross and i get disgusted even thinking about them. Please answer me with some thoughts and hopefully they are helpful. Also if you have any ways to treat them thatd be great!
Avatar m tn I have what looks like a rash that started when I took Hydroxycut for 6 weeks. It presented itself with inflamed red spots in the hair follicles but no pus. They would break into a sore and as one healed another popped up. No itch. It has been six weeks since I stopped the hydroxycut. My skin is slightly discolored on the forearms with a purplish splotch to it. I continue to break out but I am on Zyretec 10 mg a day BID and use hydrocortisone at night to keep this under a little control.
Avatar m tn The treatments do seem to be helping to reduce the rash (I was given Valacyclovir and Mupirocin 2% ointment to treat both) but the itching is still out of control. Has anyone here experienced an aggressive itch related to these conditions, or do you think it's more likely scabies, or possibly an allergic reaction to some sort of insect bite?
Avatar f tn I meant so say top of my back sorry, not back of neck!!
Avatar m tn An antibacterial ointment will help prevent further irritation/infection and spreading. Aloe vera can't hurt either. Try not to pop the little buggers in the future as this is what's causing the spreading behind the ear and neck area.
Avatar f tn The lesions lOOK just like what I see online for impetago photos and the derm did just give me mupirocin topical so he must now be considering it possible impetago.......it might, might be improving ???? on this the third day of mupirocin but if it is it is very SLOW improvement (if any) and still some new lesions come daily. It is a blistery type rash. It does not itch but is VERY painful and bleeds or oozes clear fluid. Until they drain, the area swells which hurts a lot.
Avatar n tn I have this res bump that seem to start with a pimple and a white head but now its been over a week and it feels like a bump and the red area the skin is dry and peeling it has grown sometimes it hurts other times it doesnt. this happened after I shaved the bikini area. I don't know what to do or what doctor to see.

Avatar n tn Skin cancer is usually a result of too much exposure to the sun. While skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, many types are both preventable and treatable. I think you should concern with the skin cancer specialist to treat and prevent your skin cancer.
