Question 1

is there any way to return the red skin back to its original color, maybe by spray tanning or a skin peel?

Accepted Answer

Erythema: Red skin, called erythema, is caused by dilated blood vessels with increased blood flow to the skin. It is usually due to inflammation, infection, or allergy. Rosacea is a common cause of facial redness in adults. Laser can zap tiny blood vessels that contribute to redness. See a dermatologist. Tanning can worsen the condition but the tan will disguise the redness somewhat.

Question 2

i have red skin after second degree sunburn- will my skin go back to normal? if yes how long does it take?  thank you

Accepted Answer

Painful healing: When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away.  The key is to do things that reduce the parts of inflammation such as cool compresses, skin creams, and antiinflammatory medications (motrin/advil).

Question 6

i have a bumpy red skin rash on the back of both arms for years?

Accepted Answer

Keratosis Pilaris...: ...Is very common. I think of it as eczema of the hair follicles; some people also get it on the upper legs. A medium-strength steroid cream, prescribed by your dermatologist, will keep it under control.

Question 7

sore penis head and fore skin. inflamed red. skin on head of penis and gore skin torn, painful and bleeding a little when pulled back.

Accepted Answer

Difficult...: It is very difficult to tell with certainty without taking a look at it but based on the information you are providing it seems it could be a fungal infection. I am not sure how you access medications in your country but if easy you could get an anti fungal cream and if not better after a few days then you will need to see a doctor for exam.

Question 8

folds of pinky red skin were pushed out my anus when i did a bowel movement, but went back up again. so scared is this really serious?

Accepted Answer

Probably hemorrhoids: While these are not dangerous they can be annoying and sometimes become irritating. Try to have a high fiber diet so you do not get constipated and then you will have less trouble with your hemorrhoids. If there is any bleeding you should see a doctor.
