rash on the neck which i think is spreading?

i got a rash on my neck and its been there for a few days. it started from wearing a long coat and a high collar made from wool and kept rubbing on my neck. however i think the rash has spread a little to the back of my ear. the rash is also blotchy in small patches over an area rather than one big rash, this being a small patches but the skin around it is fine then another little patch and it looks similar to a heat rash. any advice on how to get rid of it? and what cream to use.

Answer

 
 

Stick a pin in that balloon of worry by visiting a doctor to (1) get it under control and over with as soon as possible and (2) put your mind at ease, which is every bit as important as the thing itself.

What might my younger sister be suffering from?

My sister has blotchy coloured legs and feet. The blotches are red and purplish in colour and are more noticable when its cold out or when she complains that she is cold. She also complains about dull pain even w/ the lightest touch. I'm worried about her and she refuses to visit a doctor. She is really ashamed of what her skin looks like and I really want to help her. Any ideas of what it could be? no, i highly doubt its chicken box.. shes not itchy. She has had the blotcy skin condition for years now. Its not dry or flaky or bumpy just the skin tone is patchy purple and red, as i said before but thanks for your input .

Answer

 
 

It is not possible to tell without a proper examination and the information given is very limited. However, based on what you mentioned, I would consider a condition called Reynaud's Phenomenon. More info about it here: http://arthritis.webmd.com/tc/raynauds-phenomenon-topic-overview Read the symptoms and see if it fits her. Best of luck!

Can raw aloe vera or other plants / oils be used to treat skin conditions?

I have seborrhoeic dermatitis which causes blotchiness and causes skin to peel away on my face. Even when the blotchiness is gone my skin feels and look dry around my cheeks, and eyes. The only thing I use is some vaseline on my cheeks after coming out the shower in the evenings and in the morning. I find that normal face creams can cause my skin to feel like it is burning when the cream is applied. Is Aloe Vera from a plant (rather than a shop) an option? I would like to use something natural instead of stuff with alcohol in it.

I would like to use something natural instead of stuff with alcohol in it. I have two issues. The deramititis and the need for a better moisturiser even when the skin is not blotchy..

 

Answer

 
 

I don't know about dermatitis, but aloe vera works to sooth irritated skin. I have an aloe vera plant and when I get dry spots on my face or when the area around my eyes is sore from makeup removal I just cut off a little chunk and rub the juice on the area. do this at night, though, because when it dries it sometimes leaves a little film. but it works for soothing!
