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.

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.
