I'm 18 and I'm on my 7th day, all the spots on my face are scabbed. I'd like to know if I accidentally scrape some off during shower, would it become a scar? And what cream should I use if ever they become scars. I'm just so anxious of how they will turn out after I'm healed.
View 2 RepliesI am a 33 year old male, and I did have CP as a child.
I work in the airline industry, so many hotels, airports and closed areas.
My first symptom was one or two spots that I thought were bug bites.
Then I was feeling feverish and sore for a couple days while having night sweats for 3 nights. Still only a few spots on my head, I thought were zits or bug bites. on day 5 or 6 of all the symptoms, I woke with at least a dozen spots on my head and neck, this was at 4:30a, by 12p I was covered with at least three or four hundred spots. Doctor said he would do a culture to verify CP or Shingles (there IS a difference) but all I could do was ride it out, don't itch, take a antibiotic to keep the chance of a skin infection down.
I currently have them all over head, face, neck, back chest, groin, with a few more randoms on my upper legs and shoulders. with the numbers increasing to over five hundred at least.
I am hoping for few scars and a quick recovery!
I have had a fever for a day or so and I've been throwing up a lot I have red dots on my legs I thought they were pimples but there is a lot of them only on my legs. I don't know if there chickenpox or if they are just red spots from shaving.
View 1 RepliesI have flesh coloured bumps on the shaft of my penis i haven't been sexually active so i have read that it's rare that they are genital warts but i'm still scared, i am hoping that they are just fordyce spots ...
View 2 RepliesWell Im a male and Im 16 and not sexually active. I have these a bunch of white spots at the base of my shaft and like two mid shaft. and they are all over my scrotum. When they are popped, a white pus type stuff comes out (like popping a whitehead on your face or nose or whatever) I don't pop them, but i did when i first noticed it when I was about 13 years old. I've looked around and the closest thing i can come to is that it's fordyce spots? I really don't want to go to a doctor as this is pretty embarrassing even though its their jobs and all but yeah. Btw when i was taking accutane for my acne they sorta went away? Idk i cant remember clearly but i think i saw less of them but i don't remember. I'm off accutane now but yeah.

View 1 Repliesim 28 weeks 6 days. I can't go to sleep at night anymore. I toss and turn all night. I can't get comfortable anymore. Any suggestions on what can help?
View 2 RepliesEvery night when I go to bed I toss & turn at least an hour because I can never get comfortable. Once I eventually fall asleep and wake up to go to the restroom I can barely get up... my son has been head down since week 29 and I'm 32 weeks now.. it's like I have a lot of pressure in my pelvic area and in my vagina area to my thighs I feel stiff.. I literally have to hold on to the wall or bed for support so I won't fall... is this because he's head down why I'm experiencing pressure
View 1 RepliesMy legs turn very weird colors and patterns! It's hard to describe. But they turn red and purple. The purple kind makes like a hexagon shape with bright red blotches in the middle. It's happens all the time and its mostly random though I've seen its more common when I'm cold or I'm in the shower. It's embarrassing, I can't wear shorts when it's 90 out! Why do they do this and how can I fix it?

View 44 RepliesFirst of all, I am aware this is remarkably stupid. There is no need to reiterate. I have keloid scars. Found a home remedy online to get rid of them. Basically, involves rubbing it with vinegar until it's flat. Stupidly, I try this. Rub off top layer. Get to layer that is dark and smooth. Bruise-like color. Keep rubbing. Dark area becomes spotty, but not going away. Notice this area is much rougher than surrounding skin. Even areas that had also been rubbed with vinegar. Stop rubbing. Am now worried this could be melanoma. Can melanoma appear under a keloid scar? Or cause the scar in the first place? Or did I just damage my skin to such a degree it now looks like a wasteland?
View 3 RepliesI had a Hemorrhoidectomy in October of 2012 and I did have some complications with it. It is now 3 years later and things have gotten a little worse. Over time I have developed some internal scar tissue at the site of the wound (this was confirmed today by a Colorectal Surgeon) which has resulted in me having a hard time defecating and constant constipation. The outside of my anal opening is a little irritated as well and he gave me a topical cream for it. However, he told me not to worry about the scar tissue....that I wouldn't have never known it was there until he told me. However, I knew something was wrong because of the narrow stools. So I'm not trying to determine if their are any OTC creams i can use internally to smooth out or get rid of the scar tissue. I remember reading somewhere awhile back about non surgical treatments for scar tissue due to Hemorrhoidectomy surgery but I can't remember where.
View 1 RepliesI'm 20 and have been circumcised since I was a baby. Until now I never really noticed but I have a long scar on my penis. I don't know if pictures are authorised but here is one :
Is this normal ? I thought circumcision only cut the foreskin, why is there such a long scar here ? An would women find this weird ?
So I've been circumcised for medical reasons when I was an infant, but I'm realizing recently that my circumcision scar line might be kind of abnormal. It has always been this way, but the scar area is very slightly darker and raised with some bumpiness. It is completely painless. I have never had sex so I don't know how I would've gotten an STI, and like I've said it's been there for as long as I can remember. Please let me know your thoughts/if this is anything I should worry about!
View 1 RepliesI have a white spot almost looks like a scar but isn't raised on my scrotum. The scrotum it self seems a little red on the lower part, it was slightly itchy the red area but I used some cortisone cream and no longer itches, I'm not sure but the scrotum may be slightly inflamed. It does not burn when I urainate or ejectulate . I had a high risk sexual encounter but used a condom and some light kissing 4 days ago. could this be an std or jock itch? since I've been working outside more a sweating more.

If so, how was the healing process? and did it leave a scar?
