Question 2

what causes temporal pain on one side head. it doesn't hurt bad unless i touch it.should i be concerned? i am 60. no bumps or redness on area.

Accepted Answer

PainInTheTemple, Oy!: At your age it could be an inflamed temporal artery, which is a marker for inflammation to deeper arteries, some of which could affect your eye and eyesight. So best to go see your doctor right away. A blood test could give a fairly good answer. If it's not that (called "temporal arteritis) then your doctor could try and figure out something else with a sigh of relief that it wasn't arteritis.

Question 3

i burned my face with bp and it caused redness on my face. after it healed, the skin is darker and the texture is different (reflects light instead of smooth). is my skin permanently damaged or will it return to as before?

Accepted Answer

Chemical injury: I'm not sure what BP might be, but change in color (darker or lighter) is common after a skin injury - whether a scrape, burn or pressure.  Younger individuals will tend to heal over time and the skin regain its appearance.   It also depends on the depth of the injury and the size of the area.  Talk to your doctor.  Good luck.

Question 4

can i know if the redness and uneven skin texture caused by bp permenant ? i've been using aloe as a mositurizer on the affected area for mths but have not seen any improvement. i stopped using bp for the time too. im really concern if it will fade.

Accepted Answer

Usually fades: I am assuming that the "BP" stands for Benzoyl Peroxide.  Any skin changes from this should be temporary.  An old fashion treatment that helps is whole milk soaks.  wrap ice in a wash cloth and then soak it in whole milk.  Apply this compress to the area twice a day for about 5 minutes each time.  This should help.

Question 5

does oily skin cause facial redness?

Accepted Answer

YES: Oil from skin can clog pores causing skin irriation and redness. Gentle soap washing and observation for 2 weeks is advisable.

Question 6

what could be the possible cause of painful lumps under the skin on both shins? there is no redness.

Accepted Answer

Erythema nodosum?: A condition called erythema nodosum typically causes painful bumps over the shins. Usually there would also be redness, but not always. Erythema nodosum often is a sign of other systemic inflammatory diseases. For example, it often shows up in people with inflammatory bowel disease, i.e. Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. See a doctor if the problem continues. Good luck!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes but: Any location skin inflammation can lead to redness but you should find out whether you have a condition known as rosacea which usually can be controlled with a topical medication.  If it is from an irritation, it should subside in a few weeks in the absence of further irritation.
