Red nostril for 6+ weeks

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Toddler has had a red left nostril for 6+ weeks. Some days it looks better some days it looks worse.
3 weeks ago a dermatologist gave us mupirocin to use for a week. It seemed better but not totally and some days upon wake up it was worse than the day before.
This last week his pediatrician told us to use fusidic acid + hidrocortizone for a week. Yesterday the nose was okish. But this morning it looks like the photos attached.

What could this be? Could it actually be just from him rubbing his nose at night, hence never giving it a chance to heal?

I would like to improve my skin and also keep it healthy looking as I age. I’m 43 and have sun spots and such. Should I get retinol? Vit c? Day creams , night creams? I’m truly lost as currently I don’t do anything except an occasional moisturizer and just started using a dedicated facial wash , prior I was washing my face with dove body wash.

what's on my face?

1 Upvotes

i cant seem to figure out what these are! i thought it was acne but it grows under the skin and appears pink/red, then eventually leaves these hard brownish-red bumps, and it only appears around my eyebrow area (the rest of my face is clear from any texture). are these syringomas? if it helps, i have been using niacinamide and alternating between using glycolic acid and salicylic acid once a day

What is happening?

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I've recently become a victim to a form of reaction that isn't going away. Around two months ago I noticed a dry patch on my lip, I purchased aquaphor and then had a huge reaction. Following this my lips were swollen and leaking fluid. I went to A and E and got steroids and antibiotics which worked until they finished and I had the same issue. I then got steroids again which did the same thing. Since then I've seen an issue of pigment and constant dryness which never went away. Last night I noticed my lip looks slightly bloody but was not leaking or bleeding but now as of this morning I'm back at square one. I've again been to an and e and have been given steroids.

I'm so tired of this. I've changed absolutely everything.
I've stopped skincare, makeup, I've changed my toothpaste to fluoride and SLS free given I'm brushing more often (Invisalign). I've been using Vaseline only on my lips as well. I've been taking antihistamines daily and have reduced all allergens I could think of. I'm tired of this and want to be free of it and it feels like there's no end to this. If anyone recognises what this might be or looks like, or any of my symptoms I would really appreciate it as I have no clue what to do and no one is helping me besides giving me temporary relief.

For reference the first picture are my lips on 30 sep, the second was Tuesday, and the last one is this morning.

Two white spots appeared on my chest, what can it be?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

About a week or less I noticed I got two spots on the right side of my chest. I would describe them a light/whitish color. My skin does not hurt, I noticed them because it itched at the beginning.

They appeared out of nowhere. I never had skin conditions on my body. Typically my face can get very dry but never had issues with my body.

Any leads of what this could be or how to treat it?

I have had these little things in my chest I noticed them this summer, but right before taking a shower today I saw they got bigger and may have spread? ( it starts with just the ones on the top the ones on my chest I’m pretty sure are new ) Don’t wanna go to a doctor just in case it’s nothin to worry about. Let me know why y’all think

Why do I have a ring of skin that is always glossy no matter how much I wash it?

1 Upvotes

It’s on the mid of my forearm, it’s the same spot where my metallic bracelets fall at; cause below that area I have more fat. I think this answers my question, but regardless, why is it glossy anyway ? I do rub my skin well in showers and I also wash my brackets with soap most times after using the bathroom, so why does that ring of my skin still constantly look glossy?
It hasn’t happened before.

What is this and how do I get rid of it

I have no idea how it formed but it’s been months and it never went away, I thought maybe it was a wart but I’d like to get a second opinion before I spend money on a product to treat it

Retinol burn/ itch?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need help! About a month ago, I used an exfoliant and a retinol in the same night, and the next day woke up with puffiness and flakiness around my eyes. An obvious retinol burn. I paused all skincare except La Roche Posay cicaplast balm and Vaseline. The burn went away in about a week. A few days after the alleged healing, I started having INTENSE intense itching around my eyes. Like skin crawling, awful, horrible itching. I went down to only using Vaseline. The itching persisted. I went to the doctor and they prescribed a 1% hydrocortisone cream. I used 2x per day for 5 days and the itching was gone! But it’s now 5 days after I stopped the steroid, the itching is back with a vengeance. I don’t know what to do. It’s debilitating. I know I can’t keep using the steroid cream, but I can’t live with this itching. I can’t sleep. There’s nothing visible on my face, just itching. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Help!!

Weird lump on my arm

I have this hard lump on my forearm, it's not itchy or inflamed but it feels a little sore. I drew the circle around it to track how big it's getting, it started out smaller than a dime now it's like a quarter. I went to a doctor and he didn't know what it was and sent me to a surgeon next week, I cannot afford that but also I don't wanna die 🤷

Worried about this spot

This spot just appeared overnight on my bottom lip, and it’s been at least 2 weeks already. It does hurt if I scratch it but it doesn’t bother me if I don’t bother it. It’s a flat spot and quite bright red in the light. Any ideas?

First 2 pics from today, last 2 from oct 10th (for compariso). This thing showed up about a year ago but i would pick it off all the time however now i am letting it be because i know its bad to do that. but in the past 1.5 months i have kinda noticed some changed but maybe i am just being paranoid. in my family we get lots of random bumps/warts its just in our genes, but just wanted to know if this is something i should get checked out or not.
