Common Questions and Answers about Eczema in the hair

eczema

Avatar n tn there is no pus or liquid and only blood comes out if picked or scratched, only some of the bumps have hairs coming out of them and the hair not always at the center of the bumps.
Avatar m tn Are there other similar skin conditions in other parts of the body such as the chest and axilla. Good hygiene is a good prevention for the flare ups due to seborrheic dermatitis.The cause of this condition is unknown. As for the birthmarks, how would you describe these? Are they skin colored, dark, reddish or bluish? I suggest that you have this assessed by your physician.
Avatar n tn Note I am not a doctor, and only have my own experience to go on. I suffer slightly from eczema in other areas, and scratching the anus provokes eczema there too. I seem to need to repeat the hair removal about every three weeks to keep things itch-free. It's better than any medication I've tried.
Avatar n tn My neck is really itchy and red and it goes all the way to the top of my head and every time I scratch my neck it burns a little, I think it may be a rash but I don't know what caused it. I didn't use any new perfumes, lotions, body wash or hair products and I haven't wore any jewelry lately. Does anyone know what this might be or what I should do? Thank you!
Avatar n tn It also caused their hair to fall out where the lesions appear.
Avatar m tn I have eczema in my eyebrow/upper cheek on the left side of my face. I used to have dandruff, but it has essentially cleared after using zinc shampoo a few times a week. But the skin is still greasy under my brow and on my eyelid, which results in hairs being weak and falling out. Any suggestions to clear up the greasy skin? I've tried hydrocortisone cream, but to little avail. Also, the condition seems to worsen after a night of drinking alcohol - is that part of the problem?
Avatar f tn I went to the emergency room about bumps on the palm of my hand and the itchiness on my legs. He told me I had eczema and prescribed me antibiotic and steroid cream. I asked can eczema be found on the face because I have some bumps on my nose and cheeks and have had a small rash on my neck he replied no eczema is not common on the face. I have had two or three pimple like bumps one on penis and two spaced far apart around my penis..
Avatar f tn My son had it at well.
Avatar m tn There is just a mild redness above my penis underneath the pubic hair. I only use hot water and soap to shave but have shaved for at least a month. Is this hair growing back in an odd manor? Or should I be worried about herpes or warts? There is no lesions, sores, discharge, pain in urination..etc.etc. I just flat redness. It isn't even that red.
Avatar m tn Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema.
Avatar m tn my scalp burns and hurts it flakes and somestimes the flakes harden to my scalp my hair stopped growing and has been falling out over the last year
Avatar m tn Hello, From your symptoms it looks like folliculitis and boils on the buttocks and perineum and eczema on the scrotal sacs. Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin. It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Wear cotton clothes and apply warm compresses and topical antiseptics on the bumps.
Avatar f tn Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide). Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin.

Avatar f tn Make sure to wash very well and dry off very well when done in the shower. U may want to wear slightly looser fitting clothing as this may also irritate the skin from rubbing against it. Good luck and keep me posted n hope this helped a little.
Avatar n tn t forget to look at your shampoo and your other hair products. There is a sulfite thread in the allergy community you can look up for some information about hair products. With laundry: When all else fails, use baking soda only to launder your clothes. It's what people used before modern detergents. Always double rinse your clothes. NEVER use dryer sheets and other fabric softeners. You don't need these things. We were all brain washed by the manufacturers to believe that we did.
Avatar f tn The same is true with a spot in the center of my head a 1/2 in from the front of my hair line, my belly button, under both finger nails on my middle fingers, the space between my middle and ring fingers, under both of my second toes and the space between my second and third toes. My belly button has dry skin where it itches. On my fingers and toes the places that itch are dry and grow calluses.
Avatar n tn Hi, This could be folliculitis, dermatitis, or allergic reaction. In most individuals there are outbreaks of folliculitis from time to time. Folliculitis is infection and inflammation of the hair follicles. The condition may be superficial (i.e., on the surface of the skin) or deep within the follicles.The most common cause of folliculitis is infection by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Folliculitis symptoms can appear independent of infection.

Avatar f tn s called, will kill and suffocate all the bugs in your hair and that is what we used but of course we still had to pick the nits out( that is such a horrible job) and we did that everyweek for 3 weeks and we have been lice free for almost a month.

Avatar m tn But just this morning, I squeezed the biggest spot in my pubic hair, and puss came out of it. I realised that this is an infection most likely. But one big problem I have the the insecurities I have with my body, and I hate showing it, (mainly because I am covered with eczema), so much so I hate getting. Changed in PE and sometimes find ways to get out of it. I really don't know if I have the courage to tell anyone about this, even my parents and definetly not a medical professional.
1229807 tn?1267465864 I noticed the spot about 7 months ago after getter a haircut. In addition, I get pimples like those you see in the picture near the bottom hair line. I am not sure if they are even pimples, they keep appearing at different locations near the hairline and even at the bald spot in the past. Could i be getting these so called pimples due to unsanitary clippers at the barber shop? What causes the bald spot?
Avatar m tn I am having itching in penis foreskin covering the head and also on the head from last 2 Weeks. A white substance is getting collected below foreskin of head and it is always wet. Small part of skin under the foreskin has become red and also there is pain when I touch it. On the head itching is no more there but a part of head has become dark colors. For last 4-5 days I started using "Quadriderm" cream which contains Clotrimozole IP. Please suggest me what to do.
