Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: A dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate puzzling skin disorders for diagnosis and treatment. If your shoulder skin abnormalities don't resolve, consult a dermatologist.

Question 2

how can you reduce the appearance of road rash scars?

Accepted Answer

Maybe silicone gel: Road rash scars may look better if one uses silicone sheets or silicone gel for a month or two. Avoiding sun exposure on the scars, for many months or a year, can help. If unable to fine silicone gel or sheets over-the-counter, a dermatologist may be able to prescribe some.

Question 3

woke up with a rash on neck about the size of palm of hand. itches like crazy. looks like a scar from a burn in resemblance. no bite marks.?

Accepted Answer

Sounds unusual: If this is the first time it has occurred it is most likely an allergic reaction of some type and shoul resolve with a topical hydrocortisone. If it worsens, recurs or does not improve, i would seek the care and evaluation of a dermatologist.

Question 4

will these painful sun rashes scar my skin?

Accepted Answer

Depends on how bad: A sunburn is just that, a burn.  Burns can be classified as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree.  A mild sunburn, 1st degree, will get red and sore but will probably heal without scarring.  A severe sunburn is like a 2nd degree burn with blistering of the skin.  This more often can lead to freckling or scarring.  Overexposure to the sun, regardless of burning, increases your risk of skin cancer later in life.

Question 5

i often have rashes in the folds of my joints every summer and would have black ugly scars. it sucks because i couldn't wear shorts or sandos! help?

Accepted Answer

What you describe...: ...Is relatively typical for eczema, a condition that involves dry and scaly skin, and can cause a lot of itch and even changes in skin color when it gets bad.  It's often in the places you describe, and it can be very seasonal.  Your doctor or a dermatologist should be able to easily confirm the diagnosis and provide treatment.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Probably eczema, which is dry skin condition.  But to make sure you don't have scabies, psoriasis or something else, you should be seen for a diagnosis.  Then you can get effective treatment.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Professional help: You need to see your dermatologist and be evaluated before treatment can be recommended.  Treatment ranges from topical and systemic medications to laser resurfacing.  Also scarring from shaving needs to be addressed as well.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: You are probably allergic to some kind of food or medication. See a Dermatologist for exam and treatment. Don't try to treat yourself, seek professional help.

Question 9

can cetaphil help in preventing dark scar marks from occurring from insect bites and other skin rashes?

Accepted Answer

Won't prevent scar: But it will soften the area and help make it less noticeable.  Normal insect bites shouldn't scar unless scratched open if this is a problem too try putting some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream on and covering with band aid.  If you are dark pigmented and have dark scars try fade cream but don't use it close to your eyes.

Question 10

my gal 15mth with hfmd, rashes with blister shown, will those ugly rash stay and leave scars? how long normally will it my gal skin back to normal?

Accepted Answer

HFMD: Viral infection usually takes 5-7 days for the rash to start drying up and the pain in throat due to vesicles to go away. Hfmd rash does not leave scars usually. Try to put some calming lotion like calamine so child doesn't scratch the bumps.
