Try using Dove body wash, not bar soap, and if you have dandruff try using Dove shampoo but no conditioner. Dove and Aveno are pretty good.
Is there any available solution for Psorosis, a common skin disease or disorder?
I have heard that certain lotions can help with Psoriasis... A friend's mom tried something called Renew and said it did a better job than some of the prescription creams her doctor had recommended.
Reply:There is a laser treatment that our dermatologist told us about. You might ask your dermatologist if he thinks it will help.
Reply:Try Eucerin, it is a little pricey but it helps. Ezcema runs in my family and most of my family members use different products. I have very dry skin sometimes,my brother has it very bad,my sister doesn't have dry skin, my kids they have out breaks from time to time and I use Eucerin on them also try oatmeal baths. I know that Ezcema is very itchy and your skin is very dry,so I can just imagine what Psorosis feels like.
Reply:me i have psoriasis. and still undergoing therapy. it's just a matter of diet. don't go for alcohol, fatty foods, seeafoods that turns red when cooked, meat, tomato sauce, foods with many preservatives. try to go for leafy vegetables like lettuce and the likes, more carrots, onion, and also go for fish and lamb, lessen your consumption on beef and pork.

Can a dog get some sort of skin irritation or disorder that would cause them to scratch constantly?
my mother has a little shitzu and she scratches alot..was recently shaved so she has little hair and no fleas but has sores from scratching so much and the vet didnt say anything..if anyone can help me out with this it would be appreciated
Can a dog get some sort of skin irritation or disorder that would cause them to scratch constantly?
It could be alot of things. skin allergies, allergic to food or something they have come in contact with, it could be hot spots which is another type of skin irritation. It also could be mange. Alot of things could be causing her to scratch. Take her to the vet again and ask them. Some times these things can only be solved by a vet with medicines that need to be applied to the affected areas, sometimes they need to take medicines. It just depends on what is causing the irritations. Get her back to the vet.
Reply:Some possibilities:
Food allergies
Pollen or other contact/inhalant allergies
Dry skin
I'd talk to a different vet, if the vet "didn't say anything" and she has sores.
Reply:it could be an irritation, infection, or even allergies. If she was recently shaved, its possible that its clipper burn thats irritated. If the vet saw it and didnt say anything, it may be time for a new vet!
Reply:Go see another vet, thats not good enough. Dogs can suffer from allergies just like us. You need to find the source so the poor dog can get some releif.
Reply:might be allergic to something in the house or he may have dermatitis's yes dogs get it like we do take him to a dog specialist
Reply:You can get stuff at the store .. its hot spots and when warm weather arrives I see a lot of it
Reply:could be a food allergy.
Reply:Well if you have ever been shaved in a "certain area" that normally has hair as it grows back it itches like crazy!!! Thats more than likely the trouble- the hair is growing back and it itches. Put some baby footie (socks) on the dogs feet so he can't injure himself from scratching and don't get him shaved again-just a hair cut would do fine!
Reply:It sounds like a food allergy problem. Many pets are allergic to fillers so she is best off eating a food without fillers. I recommend Innova Evo. I have had excellent experience with it and it has zero fillers. There really isn't any kind of test to find out exactly what dogs are allergic to. My vet suggested trial and error with detailed documentation. I know there are several other foods without fillers but I personally don't have experience with any other brands.
Reply:It is possoble that it is dry skin or some kind of allergic reaction to something. Talk to another vet.
Reply:Did you specifically ask the vet about the itching??
It's likely that she has some sort of food allergy, is bathed too much, or has an allergy to something in her environment..
Make sure she is eating a good quality diet.. Just cause a food has a big name doesn't at all mean it's a quality food with quality ingredients. Make sure she is getting plenty of fresh clean water.. Wash her blankets or bedding and rinse it a 2nd time to get out all soaps, and don't use a fabric softener.. Add omega 3 oils to her diet. Don't feed her any people food.. just a good quality diet. It can take up to a month to rid the system of the problem. You might also want to get yourself a new vet and get him to prescribe something or suggest something for the allergy.
Put apple cider vinegar in her drinking water.. just about 1 tsp per bowl. It will PH the system and help to fix her up. You can also mix it 50/50 with water and spray her down, or get a cloth and rinse her with the vinegar.. Helps take away the itch. Applecider vinegar takes the itch out of mosquito bites, black fly bites etc, it's likely that it will also take the itch out of flea bites etc.
Reply:If she doesn't have fleas, it could be dry skin and that can be caused by shampoos or she may need a special food to promote moisture in her skin. Also be careful because dogs can actually get sunburned if there isn't much hair to protect their skin.
Reply:My sister had a Shitzu that was so allergic to fleas she scratched herself like that for months over 1 bite. It was so bad the poor little thing was not allowed out of the house except in the winter months.
She was paper trained, but it was a lot to deal with. There was nothing they could give her or put on her skin to change the effects. So keep her inside all spring summer and fall until we get a hard frost that kills all those nasty fleas. Best of luck to you and your little shitzu.
Reply:Yes. Dogs can get mange. It is very itchy, and can cause hair all over the dog to be lost. The mange mite must be killed. Not only dogs but other animals can catch it. Human beings can catch it and lose hair on their heads. Mange is very serious and requires skill of a top veterinarian. Even then it can take a year and more to win the battle and kill the mange and end up with a healthy dog with a good coat. Don't try to fight it alone. Get the best animal hospital you can afford and if there is progress stay with them until the animal is well. If they are not helping, make a change until you find genuine help.

Is skin cancer a genetic disorder?
What is percisely a genetic disorder?
Is skin cancer a genetic disorder?
you might be able to get it genetically. If it runs in your family your more likely to get it. Where sun screen, don't go tanning.
Reply:i think it can be.yes just like canser.but i have Rosacea and my parents never did.
Reply:No it is not. Cancer is not a genetic disorder. It is a mutation in your genes.
Reply:If you are genetically predisposed towards FAIR skin, then your likelihood of developing skin cancer is greatly increased. If you had a number of BAD sunburns as a child, then your probability of skin cancer is greatly increased. If you live in Phoenix, Arizona, then your likelihood is greatly increased.
Reply:It can be a genitic disorder.But it is mainly due to the harmful ultravoilet rays of sun.
genitic disorder is caused due to faulty genes.It is transmitted from the parents to the child.
Reply:Known risk factors for skin cancer include the following:
* Complexion - Skin cancers are more common in people with light-colored skin, hair, and eyes.
* Genetics - Having a family history of melanoma increases the risk of developing this cancer.
* Age - Nonmelanoma skin cancers are more common after age 40.
* Sun exposure and sunburn - Most skin cancers occur on areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation. This is considered the primary cause of all skin cancers.
Skin cancer can develop in anyone, not only people with these risk factors. Young, healthy people -- even those with with dark skin, hair, and eyes -- can develop skin cancer.
A genetic disorder is a condition caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes.

How can I get my skin to look better after recovering from an eating disorder?
I am currently trying to recover from an eating disorder I've had for years. I'm successful so far, 111lbs. However I've found that it's really taken a toll on my skin. I have lots of little fine hairs all over my body, and I am VERY fair skinned. My face has also suffered from major discoloration and dark circles with fine lines under my eyes. NO puffiness, just the lines and circles. is there anything I can do to make this significantly improve without spending a lot of money. I haven't got a whole lot left. Thanks :)
How can I get my skin to look better after recovering from an eating disorder?
You would probably have to go see a dermatologist. In the mean time you might want to try taking vitamin e and applying that (in the form of lotion) to your skin as well.
Reply:try a lot of lotions after you take baths, and try to go to a sauna :D
Reply:drink loads of water....... take pleanty of fresh fruit.......vegetables are great 2.
good luck!!!!!
Reply:first, congratulations on getting over it!
i had the same problem, to a lesser extent, but i had the same kind of skin problems. my main ones were really bad acne and fine hairs all over (i'm very fair skinned too).
i found that eating healthy, drinking water, and putting on weight reversed them all. it's been a few months and my skins almost completely back to normal.
Reply:to get rid of fine lines under your eyes you should use philosophy hope in a jar. it's super good i highly reccomend it. and for the discoloration and dark circles, don't worry about them everyone has em! i just cover them up with concealer! with the fine hairs, i'm sure they're not so bad. if you really can't deal with them i'd just shave em off.
Reply:First of all, congratulations! I know how hard it is to get over an eating disorder and I am happy that you are successful.
Of course, time will heal you. I had the same fine hair issue and discoloration. Those will subside eventually. But for now, try using a bronzer or blush on your face to brighten it up. A white eyeliner inside your lashline will make them look whiter. You can invest in a good concealer for under your eyes. Stay away from putting powders on the lines; if it gets cakey then they will show more.
Good luck!
Reply:i've been there.
don't stress about it in the least. your skin will look gorgeous shortly.
stick with what you've been doing. you're on your way to a fantastic and happy life.
keep on your meal plan and drink your water.
BUT, if want to go tan once a week, i actually recommend it. it will give you a bit of colour and the "sunlight" will make you feel better - physically and mentally
good luck and congrats on choosing recovery!
the lanugo (fine hairs) will go away as you get healthy and warm.
Reply:I WOULD TALK WITH LADIES IN HEALTH FOOD STORES AND FIGURE OUT WHAT SUPPLEMENTS YOU COULD TAKE W/YOUR FOOD. ALSO EXERCISE BY SIMPLY WALKING TO IMPROVE CIRCULATION ETC.

Reply:very sorry to hear that babe but to get rid of dark circles is due to your diet so get all fresh produce into your body %26amp; stay out from the sun!!
Reply:drink water i had same problem
Reply:congratulations on your journey to a better and healthier new you great job dont give up it takes time to rebuild your body its as important what you put in as what you put on your body a healthier diet lots of water add some vitamins minerals and a few produts for the outside and your on your way ,produts like avène,or biotherme are really good and not to expensive well keep going your doing great! lorie
Reply:Eat fruits and vegetables!
Reply:A well-balanced diet, plenty of sleep, try be more relaxed, do more fun activities.
Good luck!
Reply:Good for you!
Your skin may not be looking it's best because you are probably emotionally and physically drained from your experience and recovery. I assume you are getting help with your nutrition; if you are keep on going, if you aren't seek it!!! That is most important. Other than that, start sleeping normal hours and don't worry so much- it shows in your skin. Have fun and live life.The best cure I think for you is to finally appreciate your body and who you are- all things entailed. As far as your discoloration, dark circles, etc... totally normal. Get a good foundation and maybe go get your makeup done to get ideas on colors and ways to disguise things your uncomfortable with. Get a good eye cream and drink plenty of fluids. The best of luck to you- and again..congratulations!
Reply:Again congratulations of taking control of your body and life and choosing to be healthy. There are many good answers above.... water, fresh fruit and vegetables, (as well as a balanced diet/eating program) regular sleep.
Sun is good, but not too much sun AND I've heard that when you come in from the sun, don't wash the sweat off right away, give it a chance to absorb a bit... this is to give the Vitamin D a chance to absorb into your body)
And don't forget regular exercise..... including the old-fashioned kind that is "co-ed" (depending on how old you are... you didn't say) That would give your skin a nice glow, I would think....
And as said above, time will make things better...
Reply:Hello! Congratulations on being this eating disorder! I'm really proud of you and you must be really proud of yourself!
I would first recommend you contact a Mary Kay consultant who can give you a FREE consultation and help you pick out what you may need most to treat your skin. It sounds like you need to focus on taking care of the skin and revitalizing and rejuvinating it. My recommendation would be for you to try the TIMEWISE 3 in 1 cleanser which cleanses, exfoliates, and tones.
For your specific areas around the eye, the eye cream will help reduce wrinkles by moisturizing...Mary Kay has 2 formulas so talk with your consultant about which formula would be best.
The new EVEN SKIN COMPLEXION ESSENCE may be a great additon to your routine as it improves the overall complexion of the face and is safe for sensative skin.
In regards to the lines and circles...a wonderful foundation accompanied by a highlighter pen (a combination of concealer and light deflectors) is what I would recommend you use during this transition period where your skin is trying to rejuvinate itself.

Reply:The hair will go away once you start gaining more weight. The hair grew to keep your body warm. Discoloration and fine lines are a sign of nutrient deprivation and dehydration. The fine lines will go away with proper moisturizing of the skin and by drinking lots of water. You can even out your skin tone by exfoliating twice a week and by taking vitamins. Go to the health food store and buy some vitamins for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Vitamin C and Vitamin E are GREAT for your skin. And for the mean time, you can get some mineral makeup to even out your skintone and hide and discolored spots.
Good luck on your recovery. You should be proud!
Reply:Just continue to eat nutritiously and drink a lot of fluids and rest. It will repair itself in due course. There is no quick fix just like your disease.

Ok for about the last 2 months iv'e been getting these weird rash type of effects on my arms n even now palms, n feet, sumtimes legs.

Does anyone have trichlotalimania,or know anything about it (skin picking disorder)?
Another similarity between these problems and trichotillomania is that they seem to happen when people are in one of two modes. Some do it in an automatic way, as if they are in a trance and not really thinking about what they are doing. Usually, they are involved in some other activity at the same time such as reading, talking on the phone, working at the computer, watching TV, etc. For others, the deliberate picking or biting is their main activity at the time, and they will frequently interrupt other activities to engage in it.
Does anyone have trichlotalimania,or know anything about it (skin picking disorder)?
Trichlotalimania is not a word. I found trichotillomania to be the closest word to that. This has to do with pulling out one's hair constantly.
Reply:Although I don't have it, I know that it is not a skin picking disorder, but rather a mental disorder involving impulses to rip out one's own hair. The disorder involves a failure to resist impulse, even though the patient may realize that they can hurt themselves or others.

I bite/chew my skin, what is this disorder called?
I have been biting my skin since I was about 5 or 6 years old. It started with my kunckles. After a few years it went to my fingers and now I bite my hand, fingers and sometimes my feet. How can this be stopped? I have stopped before in the past but that only lasted 2 or 3 months. More than anything, I want to know if this disorder has a name and why does it happen??
I bite/chew my skin, what is this disorder called?
This may fall under the general heading of obsessive-compulsive disorder which includes a large number of abnormal behaviors, some self-destructive. As to why it happens, I think it more appropriate to ask why are you compulsive about it? I suggest you seek therapy to discover the reason that you do this to yourself and how you can control it. I wish you much success.
Reply:Thanks for choosing my answer as the best one. Nervous habits can be hard to break especially if the stress that causes them isn't dealt with. Best of luck to you. You can do it. Report It
Reply:cannibalism........er........it's a mental issue, like smoking, it's just a habit, and a hard one at that to break. I would put cayenne pepper on the most "bitten" areas, and see how that works! Good luck, it'll get better!
Reply:I would talk to your doctor. I have had a bad habit of biting my nails my whole life. I recently just stopped one day. I only do it know when I am stressed or nervous. I think it maybe the same as biting your nails. One thing that helped me was just thinking of all the nasty germs in my nails. Try thinking of where your hands and feet have been. And what if someone walked in and saw you chewing on your feet? Try to stop yourself mentally.

Reply:Sorry, I forgot the name of the disorder, but I think it had 'nervo' in it.
I have also been biting the skin on my thumbs and fingers since i was small. This disorder is not bad, but is caused by being very anxious and nervous.
I'm on my second month since I stopped doing this to my thumb.
However, I still bite and chew the skin around my other fingernails.
Ah, it's like a physiological addicting process...
