Question 1

skin problems from iv drug use?

Accepted Answer

Simple answer: This may sound silly but, stop using drugs and you will not have the skin problems.  I am not sure what problems you are having but there are a whole host of problems that occur for drug use., skin popping, chronic itching and excoriations, secondary skin infection to name a few.  My best advice is to stop using!

Question 2

i have sever symptoms, the same as ms or something like it including, seizures, skin problems, infections, and serious brain problems, body pain, unstable. my body hurts, and my personality has changed drastically. i have lost 4 babies too. help??

Accepted Answer

: Your description is inconsistent with MS, but would certainly wonder about other diagnoses.  Rheumatological conditions, arteritic and vasculitic disorders could be considered, and with the miscarriages, could you have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome?  Suggest you seek a second opinion, perhaps a rheumatologist.

Question 3

sir i have a skin problems?

Accepted Answer

What's your question: Please describe your skin problem so that the doctors on this site can give their input. If possible, describe how long you've had it, what makes it better/worse, and what you've tried to cure it.

Question 4

what skin problems can be treated at home?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to Answer: Not fair. What works for one person might not work for another with the same exact skin. Unfortunately, no herbal treatments are fda-approved or tested, so i simply remind people, "let the buyer beware." i recommend hypoallergenic lotions as the best initial therapy. Dry skin is a huge cause of many skin problems.

Question 5

can you tell me if there are natural ways to treat skin problems?

Accepted Answer

Natural is danger: The word natural can be dangerous. What you really want are less preservatives in your products. But it really depends on your skin type, your age, your skin condition (acne, sun damage...)and what you want the products to do. I recommend you see a dermatologist to discuss your skin issues.

Question 6

are skin problems easy to diagnose, or is there a lot of room for error?

Accepted Answer

Derms know!: If you are seeing a dermatologist, the vast majority of skin problems are relatively easy for us to diagnose, as we see them all the time!  there are of course always tricky problems, because rashes and skin lesions can vary depending on how long they are present, if infected, the skin type, prior treatment, etc.  Sometimes even a biopsy won't give us the exact answer, but that's usually rare.

Question 7

can sugar cause skin problems?

Accepted Answer

Sugar: Sugar by itself won't cause skin infection or problems, but excess sugar leading to diabetes definitely can.  Diabetes puts you at higher risk for skin infections and skin discolorations.

Question 8

what can i use for my oily skin problems?

Accepted Answer

Try This: Cetaphil has a new product on the market called "cetaphil dermacontrol oil control foam wash" that I have had excellent results with patients. I do not like to endorse one brand over another but this product has shown great results thus far. It is worth a try.

Question 9

can using too much laundry detergent cause you skin problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Detergents and soaps are caustic chemicals. Too much can irritate the skin leading to an irritant contact dermatitis. Studies show that we don't even need detergents in our clothing washers, just the gyration itself cleans the clothes. If you use anything, use hypoallergenic and use 1/2 whatever they recommend.

Question 10

do smoking will effect stamina? how can i solve my skin problems?

Accepted Answer

Smoking and stamina: Smoking certainly decreases stamina, both directly by decreasing lung function, damaging lung tissue and causing respiratory bronchiolitis or other interstitial diseases. It also raises the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood which irreversibly binds to the same sites of the hemoglobin molecule that should carry oxygen to your body.
