Question 1

Accepted Answer

Possible herpes: Ingrown hairs, esp if you shave, are quite common, but they are usually solitary, and dermatitis not recurrent.  A cluster of pimples with clear fluid sounds suspicious for herpes, which could be either type 1 or 2.  The only way to be sure is to have them examined by your family doctor, gyn or dermatologist, shortly after they erupt.  Cultures could confirm, but exam my be enough

my shingles is healing.it has been a little over 2 weeks. the shingles was on my left leg. it seem like a mild case because i had about 4 cluster spots. i have one small scab left. today my calf on the same leg is hurt where it is difficult to walk?

Accepted Answer

: Some cases of herpes zoster (shingles) are followed by post-herpetic neuralgia -- i.e. nerve pain in the area that was affected by shingles. Probably it will improve with time, but check with your doctor if it persists.

Question 4

i have small and big hard bumps that have scabs on them what is it?

Accepted Answer

Where?: Where exactly on your body are these located and were you exposed to anything that could have caused this?  Bumps and scabbing could be indicative of many things.  It is hard to tell without more information.

Question 5

have a bug  bite triangular 3 holes  have had 24  hours starting to get small scabs?

Accepted Answer

Insect Bite: Treatment depends on the type of reaction. If there is only redness and pain at the site of the bite, application of ice is adequate treatment. Clean the area with soap and water to remove contaminated particles left behind by some insects (such as mosquitoes). These particles may further contaminate the wound if not removed. Refrain from scratching because this may cause the skin to break down.

Question 6

will vaseline help a scab heal faster? just two small scabs.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Wounds heal faster with Vaseline. Vaseline not only keeps wounds clean and moist but also provides a protective layer keeping the wound covered. It keeps germs out decreasing the risk of infection. Good luck

Question 10

i have a small swollen area with no bumps or blisteres but, has small thin scaly  scabs. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Some ideas:  Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health,
Dermatologic conditions are hard to evaluate without seeing them in person.
When it started, where it is are all key points.

PSORIASIS, hits areas that bend. SCABIES affects 1 or few spots and is in lines. allergic reactions affect areas that touched the allergen.
