Skin Disorders Chart

I have dry skin on my heals and that area is dark black can you tell me what is causing this and how I can prevent it from happening this has left me very low as I cannot wear nice sandals.

My fiance has a sore on his face. It looks like a pimple, but he gets it right by his nose and it's bigger than a pimple. It doesn't itch, or hurt. It just comes back every few months in the SAME EXACT SPOT. What could it possibly be?

I have dry , cracked and very dark , black discoloration on my heels. My doctor cut the dry, cracked and dark skin off, BUT IT CAME BACK! Please advise. I cannot wear any shoe with my heel out because of the black and discolored skin.

Some skin disorders really nasty looking in some cases.But others you couldn't even tell that somebody had a skin disorder.

I am a nurse practitioner and have developed a rash on the palms of both my hands. the rash develops in identical areas on both hands. Just before the rash develops, my hands burn like they are on fire, turn red, and then little blisters develope and rupture leaving behind a leather like appearance which slowly fades. I also suffer with acne at age 50, have hip pain, and occassionally bouts of diarrhea after I eat. I do not know if all these symptoms go together but they all get better when I take anti-inflammatory medications such as sulidac and doxycycline. Labs are all normal with no indication of arthritic or systemic diseases. Water and stress seem to exacerbate the symptoms. Thanks.

I have lichen planis on my ankle and leg. It first started 8 years ago and has moved around my leg. It heals in one area while it worsens in the new area. Dr.s say I can only use cortisone cream to keep down the itching. I stopped that 2 years ago because it wasn't doing anything any more and it isn't good for me. Is it stress related. They say they don't know what causes it or how to get rid of it. Any helpful ideas? Right now I use Urea Cream twice a day and it helps lots with the itching. Thanks, Ani

I am 31 years old and I have just been diagnosesd with schamberg;s disease. It stated on my feet around my anckles working it;s way to the boyyom of my feet and all the way up to my knees. My doctor thinks that it is a reaction to vicadine because of the asperine in the drug. My question is could this be because of the asperin and will it go away? Also if it does go away is this something that will always be in my system. I also noticed that it is more red after I have had alcohol. Will alcohol make the disease look worse or make it more red? Will alcohol slow down the healing process? Thank for reading my question. I do hope you can set my mind at ease. Thank You libear

Is there a cure for Vitiligo?

I periodically develop sores in the area where my panties rub against my inner, upper thigh. I presently have a large one -- in the past I have been able to use a small needle that has been disinfected with alchol or similar substance, however what I have presently is perhaps an inch in lenght and is raised and very painful.
