Question 1

can writing on your skin with pen cause  lead poisoning?because i've done it for years now and feel fine but if it can cause it of course i'll stop it

Accepted Answer

You're ok: Ink contains no lead, so you should be ok and don't have to worry about lead poisoning.  Many inks are made out of carbon, with added colors.  Certain ink can be dangerous if swallowed, but, fortunately, that's not something we typically see!  keep writing!

Question 5

if something made of lead pierced your skin, would that cause lead poisoning if not removed quickly?

Accepted Answer

: Lead poisoning caused by something containing lead being in the body is something that is not diagnosed as often as it should be. The piece of metal should be removed as soon as possible and your lead level in your blood should be followed. There is treatment if the lead level is too high. Have this attended to as soon as possible by your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Hypersensitivity: Your skin is in a state of hypersensitivity to pressures on it causing hivelike swellings and angioedema reactions. There is something of an allergic reaction causing this hypersensitivity. Taking antihistamines like benadryl(causes drowsiness)  or claritin (loratadine) may help. See an allergist for evaluation.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: There are individuals that have what is called a sun or heat reaction/allergy. There are various different kinds. This is different than a sun burn. You should see a dermatologist so that they can discuss your history, review current meds or creams/products, check your skin for any other issues, do light exposure testing and can recommend a treatment path for you.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Postinflammatory: Skin can often turn light colored in areas where someone had an allergic reaction like poison ivy.  This is called "postinflammatory hypopigmentation".  This is usually not scarring and will resolve.

Question 10
