Unsure if it's pregnancy related or something to be worried about.

face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks For many years I’ve had a small bump just beneath the skin on my left temple. A couple weeks ago or so I squeezed it kinda hard. Not sure if it’s related but this thing has blown up!

So I have a rash that, over the past year, has spread all over my body. Its red, purple spots and it itches like crazy some days. Im working with a dermatologist, but nothing has helped. It just continues to get worse. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this and has any advice. Maybe you just happen to know a doctor that takes an interest. I'm worried that I'm really sick and this rash is a sign, but it's being missed.

My toe skin started getting very peely like this maybe a couple months ago and I recently noticed that it has gotten quite bad to the point of almost having raw skin exposed where it is peeling. I don't know how my skin got like this and not sure what best course of action is to rectify this and prevent it from happening again.

scalp BARBER RASH GONE BAD. Doctor says it’s fungal infection but not ringworm because I’m not having hair loss

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have been dealing with this since April.
I haven’t had any medical issues of any sort prior to this
(Doctor said it was another fungal infection that I don’t remember the name of)
Anyways,
I tried a new barber and this was the result of it. I tried cortisone at first and it worked for a while. I’ll admit I did start to neglect it once I felt it got a little better. Then boom, it blew up and turned into this. Went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and got some oral antibiotics and mupirocin ointment. Things have been working well so far but I’ve noticed that although I’m using the ointment, the bumps have started to cluster a bit more on the edges of the redness and are getting BIGGER also.
I wash with antibacterial soap 2x daily and apply ointment 2x daily.

Is there anything else I can do?
Asking for help from dermatologists or anyone who has personally seen or dealt with this issue.
Please and thank you🫶🏽♥️

Started randomly getting red marks about 3 months ago. I thought it was insect bites at first, but they don’t itch and don’t go away. Flaking spots about 1 months ago. Big one on my leg I just saw today.

legs/feet M18 this is in my upper thigh, is this ringworm???

Okay, so I noticed this about 10 days ago. It started as a small bump, kind of like a pimple, and then it spread into dry, scaly skin. I thought it was ringworm, so I decided to apply clotrimazole. I’ve been treating it for 6 days now and applying clotrimazole 3 times a day.

I don’t think its ringworm, I think that thing should be flat by now because I have been treating it with clotrimazole.

Please help! I don’t think I’ve gained a significant enough amount of weight for those to appear. I’ve been the same weight for years so it’s perplexing to see. It’s only on the right hip/thigh, not the left.

arms/hands Peelings hands, hives, wrinkles, and moving out of my house

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to see if anyone can help me with figuring out what is going on with my hands. This began about 2 months ago. (See last picture for initial lesions) Initially they began as red spots dispersed around my hands and nowhere else. I moved from the south to the north. Once I got to the north, my palms started being covered in hives and became very itchy. I was also having tiny blisters on the borders of my fingers (less than 1mm). Then they started to peel and all the skin has slowly been peeling off. I also have it where my finger tips are constantly wrinkled. The photo I provided doesn't really show how wrinkled they usually are but it is strange.

I have had no changes in soaps or deodorants or anything abnormal like that. The only major changes is I did move from the south to the north and additionally I did get a new car that has a leather steering wheel and it did end up driving 3,000 miles.

For treatment I have been doing and eczema cream, regular lotion and a Vaseline at night. I went to my PCM and he prescribed me a steroid cream and told me to stop using the lotions. I've been on the steroid cream for 5 days now and I feel like my skin is peeling even more.

I wash my hands maybe three to five times a day when using the bathroom and use bath& body works. Soap. I drink about 80 oz of water a day. I work at a desk. Please let me know if you would need any more information and thank you for reading.

Hi. My boyfriend has broken out over the last 3 days in these itchy spots. We are in VT on a lake trip. They start in the shape of a scratch and then get larger over time and spread to new areas. He's trying not to scratch but that’s proving difficult. Any other possibilities than poison ivy? We’ve done all the same activities and I did not get this. Thx for your input derm experts!!!

For the past year I've been wrestling with what I was pretty sure was a wart right in between my palm and middle finger. I've been using salicylic acid to remove the skin, and after this go-around, I was met with this circle under the patch of dead skin. Is this indicative of a common wart, or something else?

Had these lesions on stomach, chest, upper thigh and butt cheeks for about 7 years. Is it discoid eczema or just really bad ringworm?? I've tried anti fungal wash and nothing. Im currently trying to treat it as eczema to see how it behaves. I should just get it looked at.

neck/chest/abdomen The first pic was about 2 years ago when I let it go without getting checked and using steroid cream. Rest of the pics is of recently. It came 3 separate times within 3 years. Stemming from middle of my stomach and I don’t know what it is, and no doctor knows but I never went to a specialist.
