Question 1

my daughter is 18 and she is experiencing blotching on her skin...neck back and shoulder. could this be tenea and if so what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Skin blotchiness: A number of different skin conditions can cause uneven pigmentation or blotchiness. Tinea versicolor (tv) is one of them. Usually the spots are lighter or darker than normal skin tone and have a very fine scaling. Mild tv responds to over the counter dandruff shampoos like selenium sulfide. Please see your dermatologist for more definitive diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Fibromyalgia??: May be cerv radiculitis or fibromyalgia.

Question 3

the kid has been hives, and temp between 37.5-38 celsius. itching and almost whole body, include head skin neck, forehead ... what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

Think/antihistamine: Whole body hives/itching suggests a food reaction or response to an illness. The listed temperature is not impressive &amp; is probably within expected limits for this condition. Doses of diphenhydramine or a cool bath can help with the itching and may reduce new hives.

Question 4

the last week ive had pain right below jaw and chin now today i feel a pea size ball under skin neck its tender. any advice?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node: What you are describing could be an inflamed submental lymph node.  Lymph nodes can be painful if you have an infection. Infections from the lower lip, floor of the mouth, teeth, salivary gland, tip of the tongue and the skin of the cheeks all can affect the submental lymph node.  I suggest seeing your doctor to find out where the infection is coming from.

Question 5

i have very dry,itchy skin(neck, groin) problem for past 2 year. tried all creams/moisturizer butno relief. any tips on change in lifestyle/food habit?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: With a list of the treatments you have tried and how long you used them.  Food allergies are not likely the cause of your dry skin.  More likely something irritating the skin locally.  Wear natural fiber clothes eg cotton and use a mild soap.

Question 6

my other is experiencing  arm pain, shoulder pain, severe pain in extremity and warm skin, neck pain, and arm pain like a bp cuff is going on &off.

Accepted Answer

Neuralgia: It sounds like he has a problem in his neck with pressure on the nerve roots coming out in the neck area he needs to see if physician and get a definitive diagnosis

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Don't know: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 8

brown skin patches on neck that comes and goes away, they are usually round shaped and don't cause no pain at all. they usually appear during summer.

Accepted Answer

? Tenia versicolor: a sort of fungal infection of the skin, you can apply OTC clotrimazole cream 1 % on affected areas every night for at least 2 weeks, if no improvement see your doctor / dermatologist. better avoid direct sunlight exposure for protracted periods during treatment, best wishes

Question 9

i touched an older womans hand and two hours later my whole back felt itchy and when i got home i had an outbreak of pale scab patches, they made my skin risen and puffy, they look pale/brown, appearing on my cheek, eyelid, neck and armpit?

Accepted Answer

: It seems you have an acute allergic reaction but I am not sure the allergen is from the old woman's hand but it can't be ruled out entirely. If needed, you can take anti-allergic medication such as allegra (less sedative effect) or benadryl, OTC allergic meds, for those symptoms. It could be a coincidence then you should see a dermatologist if those skin findings last more than 3 days. Good luck.

Question 10

how do i cure skin patches on my neck?

Accepted Answer

By looking under : By looking under the skin. Some neck "rashes" could simply be a manifestation of an internal disease process. See your doctor or dermatologist to get a diagnosis first before jumping for a cure.
