Best foods to eat for skin and nails?

I just recently ended a very long very unhealthy relationship with acrylic nails (damn them!) and needless to say, my real nails have suffered great damage. What foods, fruits, veggies etc, are good for restoring nail health, promoting nail/hair growth, and making nails/hair stronger?

Best foods to eat for skin and nails?
ok.. you can take supplement that is specially formulated for that purpose.. (walmart, or any drugstore).. but a good fix is taking Knotts gelatine (the one without flavor) everyday: just dissolve 1 packet of Knott's gelatine in water or juice and in 2 weeks you will notice the difference.

Can a bone "chip" work its way out through your skin?

All summer I had a "growth" under my toe nail. A Dr. yanked may toe nail out and sent the growth for analisis; it came back as bone.Now I have something on the side of another toe (other foot) that has actually razor cut into the adjacent toe. I did Martial Arts for many years and prob. have chip plenty of bone in my feet. Can this be what's happening? Dr. just shrugged and said "not likely"

Can a bone "chip" work its way out through your skin?
First of all I would see another Dr. I am presently going thru dealing with bone chip's in my mouth from having a large number of teeth extracted.This seem's to be a common problem among people that have had that done. I can't see how other part's of the body wouldn't react to small fractures in the same way. Good luck in getting this corrected soon.
Reply:My husband had a motorcycle wreck when he was a teenager and the small rocks that were, I guess, in bedded in his leg worked their way out thru the skin. He would get the is nasty knot that would turn into a sore and the rock would come out. This was 10yrs or better after the accident.





So I say anything is possible
Reply:Of course it can, my late husband had open heart surgery,they sawed his chest open right down the middle., in the 70's then later in years, pieces of bones would work it's way through the skin I saw it and it was little chips of bones.


Can anyone give me some skin care tips for males?

hello. im Nyl. well i just wanna ask some tips on how to care for my face specifically on how to deal with pimples. what are the effective ways of preventing pimple growth (ways i can do at home) as far as dermatology is concerned. and is it ok to put some anti-inflammatory creams on inflamed pimples? how do artists make their face flawless?

Can anyone give me some skin care tips for males?
first start with washing your face more often, pimples are created from the oils in your skin. washing atleast twice a day will greatly reduce the outbreaks. Another way is to use an astringent on your face, you can use pure rubbing alcohol but not all skin types can handle it, if you need a gentler one try using 1 part witch hazel and 3 part water to make your own which is alot cheaper than buying clean and clear from the drug store but still the same effect.





An easy way to cover up and outbreak is to use eye drops on your pimple. Use the drops that are meant to reduce redness, I am not sure why this works but I read it in a magazine and have been doing it since. It only lasts for a few hours so you will have to do it atleast 3 times a day, but it makes them not noticable long enough to go on a date or whatever.





And I do not know of anyone using anti-inflammatory cream on pimples, so I cannot help you there!
Reply:DON'T use anti-inflammatory. they won't work. Pimples are caused by excess oil from your face. Use a toner specifically made for men and always keep your face clean. Dont't try to pop the pimple either.





Artists use concealers to hide the pimples. You can buy them from most cosmetic stores. (Choose the right color for your skin tone)
Reply:Men have the alternative to grow a beard. So, if I were you, I'll go for the rugged look that allows facial hair to cover the blemishes, if any. Apart from cleansing, toning and moisturising I won't have anything else to do then.
Reply:Egg masks. Honestly. Clears it up in days. At least, for me. I'm not sure how it works for guys. Anyways, Grab an egg out of your fridge, crack it, beat it, and smear it on for 15-30 minutes. Keep doing this and in days your face lcears up considerably.
Reply:first of all, most artists make their flawless faces with tons of makeup and in pictures they use photoshop and all that stuff


the best way to keep your face pimple free is to wash your face about 3 times a day and put some toner or moisturizer on afterwards. keep your hands from touching your face because all that bacteria on your hands gets into your pores and makes it dirty
Reply:artists don't do it at home...u won't believe the amount they pay fo their faces...anyway, try washing ur faces every 45mins(really works), avoid seafood, creams help but sometimes they make things worse... if u really wanna get rid of this problem see a dermatologist..or a m.doctor..good luck...
Reply:There are alot of products on the market that artists use. Stuff that costs alot. Also they have their pic's airbrushed so their skin looks flawless.


When i was a teen-ager I had a bad complexion. I found that frequent face-washing(3 times a day) combined with an astrigent like Clearasil or in my day Stridex helped. Also...DON'T PICK. Until it becomes absolutely necessary, then cleanse well with rubbing alcohol. Remember: This too shall pass.

How to make our skin glow naturally?

why is it that my nails are slow at growth?


is there any food that will make them more healthy?


natural remedies please.


thank you.

How to make our skin glow naturally?
It's all about keratin. Nails are growing slower if they are weak, so I would recommend to soak them in this mix.





Put fresh squeezed lemon juice and olive oil in hot water. Hold them in for 5 minutes. Do this daily if you can. Massage your fingers. It will boost your circulation. If that area is hotter than usual (from soaking), it will produce more keratin cells, which will make your nails grow faster.
Reply:Maybe you should talk to the Dr. cuz we wont really know.. but yeah eat healthy!! good luck.

I have sensitive skin and I always get razor burn! Any tips?

When I shave my legs in the shower I always get razor burn! Ive tried many different things such as using an electric razor but still will sometimes get razor burn; Ive tried using a conditioner for a shaving gel instead of a mild body wash which is what I use most often; Ive tried different lotions and still get it. Ive even tried shaving in the direction of the hair growth and it doesnt help. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could try? I'll do about anything at this point! No waxing though, too messy and painful!! Thanks!

I have sensitive skin and I always get razor burn! Any tips?
Same here.


I use conditionor for my hair (on your head), a razor, moisturising lotion.





First off, i don't wash my legs when doing this, i just apply the conditionor (used for head) and rub it in nicely. Lather it up!





Next get your razor (just a manual, not an electric) and shave with the direction of your hair growth. Rinise the razor and repeat shaving.





Once this has been completed get a small face wash towel and put it in warm water and wipe of the excess conditionor.





Pat towel dry your legs, and apply your moisturizor. (OLAY, is perfect). MASSAGE it in. Litreally. If it stings, dont do it. Try a tea tree oil, but in a cream.





And yeah, thats it. I don't get razor burn from this. Unless i use really hot water.





Good luck [:
Reply:Have you tried different razors? I used to always get razor burn on the bottom half of my legs everytime I shaved until I started using Venus razors. They have all kinds of different styles of venus razors and I have tried almost all of them and none of them gave me razor burn.

What causes "skin flags" to grow on the body?

and what can be done to prvent their growth?

What causes "skin flags" to grow on the body?
I think you meant skin tag, which are also known as cutaneous papillomas or an acrochordons.





Skin tags are harmless, although they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewelry. Why and how skin tags form is not entirely known, but there are correlations with age and obesity. They are more common in people with diabetes mellitus. It is estimated that by age 70, up to 59 percent of people have them. A genetic component (causation) is thought to exist.





Prior to the age of modern medicine, acrochordons were believed to be one sign of a witches' mark.

Have your doctor remove them. It's not even painful at all.
Reply:My sister got Skin Tags with every single one of her 3 pregnancies. They are not harmful, yet if they annoy you and bother you appearance wise, your doctor can remove them with a simple and virtually painless procedure.

What defines Skin Cancer?

I've developed a strange growth on my nose in the last few months. It occasionally bleeds, and seems to be growing. What could this be?

What defines Skin Cancer?
My mother has a melanoma on the side of her nose. It too looked strange and was a little dark. It was early stage melanoma and she elected to just have the cancer cells scraped instead of having half her nose removed.





You need to be evaluated and possibly have a biopsy to rule out cancer.





Good luck!
Reply:Best to go to the Dr. as soon as possible!
Reply:see the dr its a sore that doesnt heal
Reply:You absolutely must have it biopsied and especially if it is now bleeding. You can go to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to have it excised and they will send the tissue to a pathologist for analysis. There are many types of skin cancer....some are slow growing and some are more rapid, so I would get it taken care of right away.


Different types of skin cancer are: basal cell, squamous cell and malignant melanoma.
Reply:Not a healthy sign at all.





See a Physician as soon as possible.





There are a few possibilities for the growth on your nose.





1. If it is skin cancer, only a Lab can perform an analysis of the tissue samples. Skin cancer can range from Basil cell to Melanoma. Skin Cancer is the easiest to cure if diagnosed early.


There is out patient surgery or special creams to "Kill the Cancer Cells".





2. A physician can examine the Growth with a Special magnifier and determine if the "Growth" conforms to the size and pattern shape. Either way, the Physician will have a Biopsy performed.





Please do not hesitate seeking medical treatment for this situation.





Good Luck.
Reply:It is definately not a "pimple". I would by-pass the medical Dr. you use and go see a dermatologist. I had a growth on my head a month ago that was getting larger. Just as soon as the dermanotologist looked at it she said well it is not cancer. She froze it off and said good-bye to that one. She called it by name.


I don't mean to scare you but I had a friend who had a bump on his nose and went to the Dr. and he sent him to a dermatologist. End result half his nose was removed as the roots of the cancer were spreading.. He is alright, and so is my sister who had the same thing. The Doctor said it was her many years as a sun worshipper...It was cancer also...


Betta skin problem - white bump on body 3mm accross - HELP!?

What is this? How can I fix it? At first I thought just white spot but there was only ever teh one spot?! He still is acting normally swimming around and eating fin waggling what is this growth thing!? HELP make him better!

Yuck he has ICK. You can buy a treatment over the counter at the pet store.
Reply:This sounds like a case of ICK. They sell remedies for it in aquatic pet/supply stores. A pinch of salt in the water may help.
Reply:its possible it could be ick i'd like to see a picture of it if you have one and i can tell you better then. Ick is a parasite that infests fish if left alone it will reproduce and keep infecting it and there will be a bunch of white spots. Usually white bumps are a sign of ick but i'd have to see a photo to tell you for sure.
Reply:From the sounds of this you have what is called ICK go to the pet store and buy a bottle of this solution and treat the water. Wouldn't hurt to ask the pet store what else you have noticed about this fish just so they have a better picture of what you are trying to to cure.
Reply:3 mm is very large for a ich spot and ich doesn't cause scales to peal away or fall off. It sounds as if the fish has a skin parasite larger than ich or a bacterial infection. If the spot looks at all fuzzy or furry, it's a fungus and treatment is easy with stuff from the pet shop. If it's bacterial, look for treatments at the pet shop too, but don't hold your breath for a full recovery. A parasite that size on a beta would be diffucult to properly treat with a very poor chance of recovery. How long has the spot been there and how quickly did it grow? A fast growth rate (2-3 days) would almost certain indicate a bacteria or fungus which are the most likely answers.





Personally, I would treat for both bacteria and fungus and hope for the best.





Best of luck

Ich is many small white spots - looks like the fish has been rolling in sand.





This sounds like an abcess or a bacterial infection that is eating away his scales. Add a little aquarium salt (1/2 tsp per gallon, disolved first) to the water, and treat with maracyn and maracyn-2. Be sure to keep his water very clean, and very warm (around 80F) to ensure proper healing and to prevent a reccurence.

Anyone try the Hair, Skin, and Nail Vitamins at Dollar General?

I was hesitant to buy Dollar General brand vitamins, but I've tried a few other things of their's that are really good quality. I've been using these vitamins for a couple months. They're really helping my nails, I don't know about my hair. I've heard it can take some time to notice a difference in hair growth. I've read on a hair site I visit that several ppl have had good results with Ultra Nourishair (GNC). I like the DG, though, because they contain calcium - I take it as a multi, so I need a hair vitamin that contains calcium. They also contain a lot of other good stuff for hair - similar to the GNC vits. Anyone use these, and how long did it take you to notice results w/hair growth and condition (if you did).

What kind of doctor to go to remove two nodes of skin down below?

I originally went to my primary care physician, who told me not to worry - the two little growths were not dangerous, but she wasn't the type of doctor who could remove them. (I can't recall what she referred to them as.) They're about the size of a zit and located one on a labial flap and one near the opening of the anus. (Sounds disgusting, I know - but true - and I want to get rid of them! lol) What kind of doctor should I go to?

I think you should start with a gynecologist who can tell you exactly what they are. And, they'll be very comfortable looking at your vulva--- they've seen LOTS of them. =-)

If they are like, irriated or the skin is pink on the bump, it could just be ingrown hairs. In which case, moisturize and keep hot baths.

There is an itching that seems to move around the body but its not micro filaria what is it?

what i mean is that the itching is very similar to chloroquine allegy reaction but it is usually on one part of the body say the head,legs or back area at a particular time it sustains for about an hour then subsides for a while and can incease with changes in temperature aiso there is small boil like swellings around the private part after love making and could take a while to heal as a matter of fact there is a skin growth resulting from the boil swelling

What to do with a 8 1/2 unspayed rottweiler with many cysts not cancerous but one very large breast tumor.?

i have 2 different vets telling me 2 different things to do. my rottweiler has all her shots and is up to date on everything. regular health chech ups etc. one vet did not even diagnose it properly i had to get second opinion and he said i should get a chest x ray to see if she has lung cancer, and then spay her and remove the breast tumor with no biopsy and it costs $600 plus????????? un sure of what the right thing is to do. can anyone give me more info and some expert advice. she has also had 3 surgeries prior to remove a large cyst and skin growth, plus she swallowed a ball and had to have emergency surgery or be put to sleep. love her and want to do the right thing.

What to do with a 8 1/2 unspayed rottweiler with many cysts not cancerous but one very large breast tumor.?
Spaying her will not stop the breast tumors now. My lab 10 year old had the same problem - She had a large tumor that actually "popped" like a pimple and blood was pouring everywhere. What my vet did was xray her first to make sure she did not have lung cancer. He told me that if she did then there would really be no use in removing the tumor. She did not have lung cancer he removed the tumor (my bill was $550) and she lived for another two years. She was more playful. She eventually died of cancer but she has two more happy years with us. So my suggestion would be to x-ray first and then remove the tumor if the xray is ok. You do not want it to "pop" like my dogs did. You may also want to call some other vets to compare costs if you are not totally stuck on the vet you have - you would be surprised at how rates differ. Also, you may want to ask about a payment plan. The vet may be willing to work with you. Hope this helps and good luck.
Reply:Poor thing! She's got a lot of problems!





By all means, get her x-rayed so you will know what you're dealing with. And get her spayed, if she is still strong. You'll probably want to get that tumor out too: Whatever it is, it's bound to be mangling your dog's insides.





But I have a sad suspicion that you will eventually have to put her to sleep. So all you can do is make her happy as long as you can.
Reply:Early spaying actually reduces a dog's risk for developing breast cancer, so I'd be very surprized if the breast tumor is benign. I'd opt for the surgery to be done by the second vet.


The next time you adopt a dog, spay or neuter it!


Guppy problem..?

Ok, my pregnant guppy's left eye seems WRONG! Happen to notice it today, last night it was fine.. The left eye seems to have a white circle around it in the centre of the eye.





The whole eye is black right? But in the centre there seems to be a skin growth in the shape of a circle.. Its like coming out of the eye.. Looks weird... Is it going blind?! is it fungus?

Guppy problem..?
Good video and that does help rule out several things. I would only have one question left for you. Did this seem to start inside the eye and work it's way out? If so, it's a parasite. If not I would say a fungus infection.





For the potential parasite, I would suggest treating with Maracide or Clout, which ever you can get easily.





If you think it started on the surface and it's a fungus, I would suggest either Maroxy or Jungles Fungus Eliminator. Ether one should clear up the problem and both are pretty common.





Hope that helps

Would it be harmful to give your children prenatal vitamins?

I was thinking that since they are vitamins and suppose to add with hair and good skin growth would it be harmful for the kids. Since they are deveolping at this time.

Would it be harmful to give your children prenatal vitamins?
The amounts of vitamins and minerals in there are made for adults, not kids. Just give them a kids vitamin.
Reply:yes it would be, there is too much folic acid and iron in some adult prenatal vitamins
Reply:My question would be why would you want to? When a child is old enough to actually need a vitamin there are age appropriate choices out there for them.
Reply:You are a dope.





Children get children's vitamins, not your pregnancy vitamains.
Reply:Yes, They have adult strength doses and would overdoes the children. Give them the childrens vitamins.
Reply:prenatal vitamins are for pregnant women,i would suggest childrens chewable vitamins but check package for age group they also have a gumball vitamin or ask the pharmisist at a drug store he can tell you what to give children.Hope this helps

my mother has been getting treatment for cellulities her pain is so severe in her legs is it the healing, the meds or something else? she has had antibiotics, we go once a week for her doctor to check and rewrap her legs. they say she is healing and she only has new skin growth were her wounds were. does the weeping ever stops. she is so miserable being locked in the house she is afraid to go out and now her walking has worsen what do we do next were do we go her doctor says that she will be wearing jobe stocking and try to get her into some therapy she is 80 and a diabetic, she had open heart surgery several years ago and no one told us about her legs would swell. we could have address this right away instead of waiting until these wounds showed up. everytime she had her legs wrapped she would go home and take them off, now that we have changes locations she has kept them on but said the hurt the doctor stated she needs to leave them on to help the circulation is there other op

Wierd anal question?

I have this skin growth on my a** hole. it started out really small but i've noticed that its gotten bigger. I'm really self consicous of it now, the other day me and my man were "having relations" he was behind me and he noticed it. He though it was a little piece of poop!! i was soooo embarrased. I've heard preparation H works but i don't think a cream is going it make it go away. HELP!!!! has anyone gone through this?!!!!

Wierd anal question?
No, but you should talk with your ob/gyn about this. They are used to "weird" questions. I had to go there too for something embarrassing and it was really ok.

Can i get genital warts in my inner thigh?

i think i have some skin growth in my inner thigh near my genitals. i think its a wart. coz it used to be 1 now its 4. ive searched in the net for pictures of genital warts but its not like all of the pics. its small and circular. i dont think its called genital wart if its not in your genitals. so is just a common wart? but it still doesn't look like any common wart? or maybe its just a baby wart? wahh. i'm so confused. i'm kindda shy to go to my doctor. %26gt;_%26lt;

Can i get genital warts in my inner thigh?
yes you can have genital warts on your inner thigh - i had about 6 of them right in the crease of my upper thigh where it joins by body - they do not look like typical warts as you said - little brown wrinkly things - i have never had them on my scrotum or penis - just the inner thigh - mine were removed about 3 years ago by my dermatologist and have not come back - she said they are fairly common and removing them was almost painless

sitting here pecking my keybord. im the one that cut my finger off. the numbing is starting to wear off, and i dont feel all too great. lost a pint of blood and had countless shots. anything i can do to help rejuvinate my energy and increase skin growth?





the first time it happened it was my left middle finger, and today its my right middle finger. ironic?

Ouch!! help me!!?
My husband actually cut off his ring finger on his right hand just abouve the knuckle a few years back showing off for girls in his new sports car, flipped it while his hand was out the window holding onto the roof. The only thing the dr's told him was to keep it elevated, drink lots of water, eat properly and get the correct amount of rest because the body heals best when your resting. If you lost so much blood why didnt they transfuse you? Unless their reasoning is that your otherwise healthy and your able to re-establish your own bc.

I have lost 6 kgs in 6months, and am not sure if i have piles?

I am a 35 year old woman, with kids aged 11 and9. For about 8 months now, i have started having pains while passing stools. It is not everyday, but the pain is like the mouth of the anus is torn, and there is blood also. Of late, the blood used to come out in clots, now it is just a little smear. I can also feel a small skin growth ,it could be a tear, about 1/2 cm long from my anus. I eat light, home cooked food, and no junk or oily stuff for me. With my gall bladder removed almost7 years back, i stay off junk food.


Alos i have lost, 6kgs in 6 months. I do not feel tired or lethargic. i need to know if any of these are connected , if i need ot consult a doc.

What is that jelly stuff on and around scab after shower or when wound is pretty much saturated?

I cut myself on my chin friday, it was quite deep. I have been keeping it clean and putting savlon on it. However I have also noticed when the savlon has been on for a while or after the shower the scab appears to have a jelly like stuff on it.





Anyway, when I am cleaning the cut up after a shower or something i have been lightly dabbing it and rubbing it and this stuff comes off. Its obviously not skin growth as this is under the scab.





Is this bad? Should I leave it be.





My wound is healing very fast and I am not taking the scab itself off. I think it will be healed by the end of the week.

What is that jelly stuff on and around scab after shower or when wound is pretty much saturated?
It is merely the scab. As the underlying tissue heals and fills in the hole, it pushes up on the scab. When the scab is wet, it becomes saturated to the point some of the scab falls off, leaving pink/red tissue underneath. Remember a scab is the body's natural band aid.


You are doing a perfect job keeping it cleaned. Keep with the ointment, by keeping it moist, it doesn't have a chance to crack and bleed (opening new areas thus less scarring).


Good luck.

What is it?

my staffy has had a tiny lump on his belly and armpit for quite a time. to me it looks like a pink raisin and the one on his belly has grown. i asked the vet and he sed its just a skin growth and can remove it by tying string around it. but my mum doesnt want me to do..i dont know y. is there anyone who knows wat this is or how i can get rid of it another way without hurting him?

What is it?
I would get the opinion of another vet as I really can't believe they would suggest you try this at home. Even if it can be done, it's not something that should be done by someone who's never had experience with it.





If/when you do see another vet, find out if it's a health issue to your dog. If it's not anything that's really an issue, but simply not "eye pleasing" then there is no need to actually do anything with them.
Reply:Why would the vet not remove it? Go back and ask the vet to remove.

Reply:As long as you checked with your vet, go for it. This is how nurses I worked with got rid of skin tags.

I had a couple of bunnies with "cancer" or something on them- what is it?

See the video I made of them on youtube( http://youtube.com/watch?v=MsTBtr00iFs ) btw, this is not porn or adult in any way- but the question is, what causes this to happen (is there something I should be worried about like a chemical spill or something that might cause them to be so messed up?) The odd skin growth around th face and neck are the prominant marks. Other than that, they are just bunnies (hopping and eating all day). Thanks. dooba

I had a couple of bunnies with "cancer" or something on them- what is it?
I do not think that is cancerous. By the video, it is hard to tell, BUT, it looks like that poor bunny has had something placed around it's neck that was too tight. A rubber band perhaps? Maybe a very tight collar?


I have seen this happen to mistreated dogs, something is placed around the neck very tightly for years....to the point that it cuts into the skin, and the skin heals, and this process repeats over and over until the skin begins to grow over the object, only very infected and mishapen.





Get that bunny looked at.

Possible cannibal injuries from the mom, other is birth defect.


The may be eating but the one in the movie appears to be in poor health by the looks of it's fur. Are they being fed by you or just getting by with what they can find?


Is the animal breeding and having off spring with the same abnormality? If so, suggest you stop the lineage.

Does anyone know anything about dog growths?

I own six year old male Siberian Husky and recently I found a bump near the thigh of his back left leg. I thought it was tick but after examining it, I noticed that it appeared to be apart of his skin. It is very small and white (looks like a cross between a mole and a pimple) but the way it's attached, makes me think it's a tick. It looks a little red, like theirs tiny, tiny bit of dried blood at the base, but that may have come from him biting at it. I'm really worried, so if anyone knows anything that could help; I'd really appreciate your answers

They should be able to remove it as it seems to be bothersome to your pup.
Reply:ticks usually turn dark Grey and when they've had their full just drop off You can smear a drop of Vaseline gel around it as a tick has to breathe if it cant it will lose its grip If you do see a tick at any time on your dog don't be tempted to pull it off as if you leave the head still attached it will become infected

What is the safest method for waxing the whole body?

What is the safest method for waxing the whole body?
If you have sensitive skin maybe you should try cold wax instead of hot wax. Put the parfume-free lotion afterwards. To prevent in-grow hair you have to scrub your body at least once a week.
Reply:lay in a tub full of hot candle wax.

Reply:i put off going to a professional for a long time and was never happy with the results that I got myself, but that was from shaving. I now go to my beautician and she's great. She works from home, and I love that cause it's so much more personal. If you get it done once a month it's not too expensive. I'd spend less on razors yes, but it doesn't last for as long and it doesn't get a great result like waxing does.


Try it, that way if they think you are too sensitive they will tell you.


Also, to stop the in-grown hairs you should exfoliate and then moisturize. Moisturize every day and it should help
Reply:As a Beauty Therapist I would recommend going to see a professional because the wax we use is of a much higher standard than at-home wax kits. Waxing different areas of the body requires the use of different waxes.





Start off with first seeing a Beauty Therapist for your waxing. You could try going to your therapist once every 8 weeks and for the inbetween time you could wax at home- this way there will be less hair for you to wax yourself. But it will also save you a bit of money

Boyfriend has fleshy growths in groin area!?

My boyfriend has two small fleshy bumps on his penis near the base and one higher up on his pubic region almost at his waist. He said he has had them for a while ever since he put on a pair of jeans hot out of the dryer and the zipper and button burned him pretty badly. As he doesn't wear underwear, the story would add up, but I have never seen scarring like this before, and due to the area where these fleshy bumps are, I am reasonably worried by them. They are almost like skin tags.

They could be skin tags, warts, or possibly ingrown hairs. One of the three.


Third nipple or something else?

I'm not trying to be gross, I have a real question. I have a growth on my left nipple. It's right next to my real nipple, but only like maybe a half centimeter wide and as high as my regular nipple when hard. It doesn't look like a complete full extra nipple. I'll try to describe it- you know the little bumps around your nipple? It's like a bunch of those bumps grouped together but vertically, not flat, if that makes sense. Is this just a weird skin growth or a third nipple? If I want to breastfeed later will I have to have a removed? If anyone has had this, how much will it cost to have it removed? Will insurance cover it (if it DOES affect breastfeeding) or will it be considered cosmetic surgery? Thanks for all your help.

Third nipple or something else?
Only your doctor can tell you what you have.


Some skin cancers can present this way. Some of the warning signs for skin cancer are if the area is asymmetrical (that is, not even all around,) if it is growing, or has changed color. If it is a skin cancer, it needs to be removed as soon as possible and yes, insurance should cover this.


If you are pregnant, and this has appeared since the start of the pregnancy, it may be a skin tab from the extra hormones in your system. (If it is a skin tab, it will disappear after delivery, so nursing won't be a problem.)


Make an appointment as soon as you can. Good-luck.
Reply:I have kinda the same situation it is very normal maybe skin tab??? I have one coming right under my eye:( and It stinks, when I asked my doctor my insurance would not cover it unless it was bothering me to the point of seeking medical care.

Growths on three knuckles, not warts or anything I can Find.?

Started with a pea sized bump on outside edge of left second finger end knuckle. Didn't pay much attention to it especially since my Nurse practitioner did not seem to be concerned. It is now reduced in size and the integrity of the skin is intact and looks normal. Now have the same thing in the same location of the right hand. This has errupted with a colorless, odorless, gelatinous substance (on it's 4th build up) The top looks like a blister. Very Painful and is struck against everything. Now have a small blister like spot on the top of the right "pinkie" near the last knuckle. Does not have the appearance of any wart I am able to find pictures of.

What Are These Things On My Hands And Feet!?

A few years back i had athletes foot on my left foot because my job involves me being constantly on my feet and im at college too. After a few months it started to go away but i suddenly started to get little bubbles under my skin around the palms of my hands and the edges of my fingers near the nail. I went to the doctors and he gave me a cream (i forgot how to spell it) but it had a steriod of some sort in it which encouraged skin growth because i was scratching my hands so much it was making the skin peel. Ive read on the internet athletes foot and spread to the palms of hands but I never thought in the form of water bubbles under your skin?? They Went away these bubbles for a while because i asumed it was the cleaning products i used at work that had something in them which i was allergic to which my doctor said was 'most likely' but they started to come back again! and i discovered 2 nights ago in the bath that im starting to get them on my toes! Somebody please help me!!!

What Are These Things On My Hands And Feet!?
It is an allergic reaction to Athletes Foot when particles get in the blood stream. Hold on, I'll find a URL...





"Sometimes after an episode of athlete's foot, if particles enter the bloodstream, there may be an allergic reaction causing blisters on the fingers, toes or hands."





http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/718/m...





Stop using the steroid cream. That will thin your skin. Concentrate on getting rid of your Athletes Foot. It takes time, but you can do it. I suffered in silence for years, including the blisters as you described.

What is this lump on my dog's tail?

Hi everyone, I have a 2 year old Border Collie Beagle mixed dog. Recently I gave him a bath and noticed a very long piece of skin (cylindrical - 0.9cm long, 0.2 cm in diameter) that branched off from the side of his tail. I removed the skin piece and what was left was a swollen round wound area that eventually closed up.





A week later, I checked on his wound area - it became swollen full of a thick white milky substance that resembled pus. I expelled it, but it comes back every few days... After a month, it stopped forming pus and formed a hard skin protrusion. Again I removed the hard piece of skin with tweezers and applied an antibiotic cream. Now there is a hole where the skin was removed, but the skin that was surround the crust is still hard and swollen-like.





Does anyone know what this swollen lump on his tail is? Any suggestions? Pictures of the skin growth: http://www.animalforum.com/phpbb/viewtop...

What is this lump on my dog's tail?
have you ever heard of a vet?????? why are you surgically removing anything from your pet and applying your own thoughts of what cream would best treat it? take your dog to the vet. the money you've spent on cream and treatment could have paid for the exam. what is wrong with you is a better question. try the vet. do you remove growths from your own body? unless you have a doctorate in veterinary science do what a normal person would do and go to the vet. sounds like you've made something simple more of a problem then it needed to be.

What is the best way to get rid of Hanging moles?
U can tie horse hair tightly on it and overnight it will fall off and will not leave a scar too. But the best is to get it burnt off using electrodes I guess. There is also a homeopathic treatment for it which is quite a long process with uncertain results

how can man be made in Gods image

how can this be Gods image





is the fall from grace so destructive that it turns man into this


tortured gargoyle representation of God





and i can't wrap my mind or heart around it


my understanding is too limited.





Where what when and how can I find an exact representation of man


made in Gods image,


does such a thing exist


or is it a mythical what was once.





it disturbs me


because those I am to have mercy upon


repulse me completely,


their mind, their heart, their vision, their bodies


fill me with a nihilistic horror


wrapped in twisted hopeless dread.

As to "exact representation", look to Jesus who is said to be "the radiance of God's glory and exact representation of the Father" (Hebrews 11:3). In him alone there's salvation...Not only of your soul, but also of your body in resurrection (Romans 8:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:53-57).


I think I tore my conch piercing! How do I take care of it and prevent a keloid from growing?

Here's the deal: I got a conch piercing (inner ear cartilage) about 5 years ago. I woke up this morning and it was sore. I think I may have slept on it in a weird way because my inner ear cartilage is reddish and sensitive. It doesn't hurt enough to be an infection, but I don't want to ignore it and run the risk of getting one of those yucky, yucky skin growths on my ear. How should I take care of my piercing to ensure that this doesnt happen? I'm currently cleansing it with Dr. Bronner's castille soap (the soap my piercer recommended to me when I originally got the piercing.) PLEASE HELP!

I think I tore my conch piercing! How do I take care of it and prevent a keloid from growing?
People just don't get keloids from sleeping on piercings funny. Its generally a gentic trait which will determine if you get keloids and how bad they are. While some extreme trauma can cause them, usually problems that people have aren't keloids, its hypertrophic scarring





Hypertrophic scarring is inflamed tissue that can be red and sore. The best remedy for you to use is hot compresses, sea salt soaks and every other day, massage a diluted amount of tea tree oil on the area and wipe away excess oil. The combination of those things will soften any scar tissue that is there and will sooth the area making it less sore and red. Over time the area should be okay, but symptoms can flare up for no reason sometimes.





Another thing that may help is a change of jewelry. I don't know what is in there, but it could add to the problem. Often down-gauging helps or simply getting a different type of jewelry can make a difference.

Reply:My cousin got her conch pierced awhile ago and i remember her waking up and announcing the same thing to all of us sitting at the dining room table. You probably just slept on it funny and twisted your ear enough to make it sore. Just put rubbing alcohol on it and sleep differently and it will be better. If not, then visit the place you got it done and have it checked out. I feel for you, these things hurt! Good Luck! %26lt;3~Claire


Genital warts question!?

I have developed some flesh coloured what looks like warts around my very tops of my legs by my grone they appeared from nowhere started as one n i now have a few more they do not itch or irritate me in anyway. They are not that close to my virgina n ive not had then quite a few months they dnt seem to be getting ne worse now but they are not clearing up either should i be worried or could they just be normal skin growths?

Genital warts question!?
If they aren't near your vagina, they probably aren't genital warts, but if you go to the dr. and they tell you they are GW, it takes a couple to a few months for the warts to appear after sexual activity. It's not a quick turn around like chlamydia, where you know soon afterwards. It does sound like warts, so don't let the timeline fool you. Just find out so you don't spread them. At least you can take measures to keep from spreading them. Here's what I would recommend to you:





You could cover them with bandaids during intercourse, but the bandaids could come off if there's moisture involved (sweat.) And there's no way to put a bandaid on an infected skin cell that you can't visibly see yet. The warts spread so easily! A nurse has said "the only way to have sex and prevent spreading them is to use the male and female condom...together..." but if you ask me, that's impossible! Neither condom covers the inner thigh and buttocks. Both partners should have sex with underwear (female) and boxers (male) on to keep the least amount of skin from touching! It's not sexy, but ...neither is spreading warts. Best of luck to you.

Reply:i don't get it..why don't you just see a dermatologist/aphrodisiologist?
Reply:Genital warts must be treated by a doctor. DO NOT use over-the counter remedies meant for other kinds of warts. Your doctor may treat genital warts by applying a skin treatment in the office. Or, the doctor may prescribe a medication that you apply at home several times per week.


Please see the webpages for more details on Genital wart.
Reply:Have you had sex?





They are not genital warts which are Human Papiloma Virus - they are probably skin tags (small warts).





Genital warts would be on your labia and possibly inside your vagina





Warts are spread by a virus - talk to a doctor who can give you some cream or treatments.

I have this wierd growth on my vagina. It doesn't hurt but its just a lot of loose skin. What could it be?

Its mainly connected to my clit. I have had only one partner (my current boyfriend) and he has only been with me.

It could be a skin tag, which is easily removed by your dr. It could also be a sign of HPV (Human Papiloma Virus), in this case it should be removed. It doesn't matter that you have only had 1 partner, he could have had more than 1 partner and passed it to you. In any event, you need to see a Dr. for diagnosis. SOON.
Reply:best solution consult your OB GYNE as soon a possible. . .
Reply:no it's no weird, and if you want it removed they will rap a ruber band. It will die off and fall of, you can do it at home
Reply:Definately go visit your doctor, any physical symptom should be looked at, it may be nothing, and even if it is they can help you treat it or do something about it. It could really be related to anything, could be due to an std, might just be a general skin condition. Don't stress too much, might just be a normal skin irritation, either way your doctor will be able to help you!
