I also try to keep some really strong duct tape handy. it does a pretty good job of removing the object even if I can't see it, but by pressing the sticky tape on the site that is burning.
I also have a microscope with (4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x).
I see that this "hair" (or what ever it is) has sharp barbs like a fish hook and this is why it is so hard to get off of the skin.
I assume it is some kind of animal hair. I have several glass slides (with slips) with different examples of what I have described.View Thread
It definitely looks fungal. It is a condition called tinea versicolor, which is caused by a yeast that lives in our hair follicles and causes a rash in some people for some reason. It is not contagious and not dangerous, just a nuisance. You can try an OTC antifungal like clotrimasole and/or start washing yourself with Head and Shoulders or Selsun Blue shampoo in the shower. Keep in mind that it may recur, especially in hot and humid weather. If this doesn't work, you'll have to see a derm for prescription medication. Good luck!View Thread
I treat many psoriasis patients, and haven't found any specific dietary triggers, but if you look on the website of the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis.org, there is a book written by a chiropracter which gives a diet for psoriasis. Try it and see if it works. Good luck!View Thread
You should go to a dermatologist ASAP. It sounds like you have a ruptured cyst and the quickest way to get rid of it is a cortisone injection. Good luck with the wedding!View Thread
You're going to have to see a dermatologist about the pimple scars. There are things that can be done, but it really depends on the type of scar. As far as the dry body skin, use Dove soap in the shower, pat dry, and moisturize immediately. If a lotion is not working, use a cream, like Eucerin, and if that doesn't work, use an ointment, like Aquaphor. Lotions with ceramides, like Cerave, are the most moisturizing. I hope this helps.View Thread
Go online to aad.org. They have Find A Doctor on the site. You put in your zip code and they give you the doctors who practice there. Good luck!View Thread

The lesion could be a cyst, an inflamed mole, or numerous other lesions. Given the symptoms and redness, I would suggest showing it to your primary doc or dermatologist in order to insure that it is not a skin cancer.
I hope that helps

Hi, I am Clare. I am 35 years old and I had eczema from the high school. I had a rash spread to 70% of my body. Initially, it was the hairy parts of my body like hair and armpits, and then it moved to throat. There is nothing left which I did not use to get rid of this nightmare. I underwent treatments in various hospitals, dermatologists, traditional medicine and used all the ointments and hormonal drugs. All these measures were useless and ineffective, time and money consuming. Even worse, their ineffectiveness killed my motivation and hope that I will ever be healed. Last month, my dermatologist friend from Paris advised me a cream called Coresatin which he took from exhibitors as a sample. First, I did not want to use it being afraid of side effects and simply I did not hear of it before. My dermatologist friend convinced me by saying that this cream does not contain any active ingredients and it is cortisone — free (non-steroidal) and that is why I do not have to worry about side effects. Additionally, it was much cheaper. So, I agreed to take 2-3 small tubes, counting on the dermatological experience of my friend. Yesterday was the 10th day I have been using it and I can really see considerable results. The rashes started to shrinking, white rashes almost disappeared and the skin is taking normal skin color. The hairs and feathers on my leg have started to disappear. In short, skin started to function as a normal skin. The creams are over and I called my friend yesterday to get some additional tubes for me and for my friends. Let's see its sustainability.View Thread
