Question 2

No: It should not.  If it is red and itchy you may  be experiencing a mild allergic reaction.  Stop using and see a doctor if it worsens.

Question 3

itches on my skin for 10yrs that swells and leaves  the mark of the scratches on the skin although it disappears after 4 mins.?

Accepted Answer

Dermatographism: Sounds like a type of dermographism. This is usually treated with an over the counter non sedating antihistamine such as cetirizine.  A sedating med such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may work as well.  Sometimes sun exposure can reduce the symptoms.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Eczema?: I wonder if you have numular eczema or atopic dermatitis followed by what we call post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.  A picture says a thousand words.

Question 5

if i get chickenpox at this age, can it leave any marks on my skin? and if yes how to prevent or minimize these marks?!

Accepted Answer

Sure Can!: Getting the vaccine is the best way to prevent the disease, as well as any potential scarring!  If you get disease, keep the skin clean and dry, and treat any evolving surrounding red areas with a topical antibiotic.  It's the bacterial infection surrounding ( and complicating) the pox viral infection that tend to cause worse scars.

Question 6

i pulled a thin layer of skin off the top of my nose , will it leave a mark?there was no blood just a glossy substance

Accepted Answer

Thin skin off nose: Greetings. This very thin skin layer that you peeled off your nose most probably is an epithelial layer that was made from dead skin cells. There is no worry in this sense and I recommend washing your face with soap and water then pat your face dry. Sun screen lotion applied regularly is a good idea. If your nose appears different, see your family doctor but I think it&#x27;ll look fine and no worries

Question 7

m having pimple problem after waxing. after waxing my skin get red and pimple starts developing and it leaves black marks also.

Accepted Answer

Ingrown Hair: Forcibly removing hair through waxing stimulates oil flow to your hair follicles, which in turn attracts bacteria that can lead to ingrown hairs. While everyone who waxes risks getting ingrown hairs, people with curly hair, dark skin, or those who wear tight stockings or pants may have an increased risk of getting ingrown hairs.

Question 8

my cat bit me a little and left a red9 mark but did not break skin. i think he is vaccinated every year but any chance of rabies?

Accepted Answer

Rabies: Call your vet and check on his rabies vaccine status.

Question 9

i've gone bald and i use headsets frequently. this leaves  a mark on my head now, like a dent in skin. does this go away or is it worrying?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It may take a little while as long as you stop using it

Question 10

can allergic skin reaction (1st bright red now brown & scabbing) can leave the skin permanently hyperpigmented or with brown marks?will it resolve?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Allergic reactions can cause skin hyperpigmentation. Depending on what caused the reaction (contact allergy or hives or irritant reaction or drug rash), the hyperpigmentation may or may not resolve. Hyperpigmetation can fade over time if there is no repetitive skin irritation. Scabbing and oozing can be signs of infection, kindly have the rash evaluated if it doesn't resolve.
