Dr. Stephen Schleicher, M.D.

Since ciclopirox is a topical medication and salbuterol is inhaled, I doubt whether there is any problem using both together.

Hi,The symptoms that you describe would be very unusual for this acne medication. If the dizziness and shortness of breath still persist by all means visit a local health center to get checked out.

The rash could be can allergic reaction; if it doesn't clear up with hydrocortisone best to see a local doctor.The bump might be an inflamed hair follicle. Sometimes an oral antibiotic is needed if the bump persists.

Since skin cancer is so common (millions of new cases each year), best to get checked out by a local dermatologist.

the only way to know for certain would be to visit a local dermatologist or podiatrist.

Definitely visit a local dermatologist; several new therapies are available for this condition

Hi, This is perhaps due to an allergic reaction so best to get checked out by a local dermatologist. You can try an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Allegra in the meantime.

Hi,  I assume the red pigment was treated with a laser. Red dye is the most frequent cause of tattoo allergy. A prescription steroid may prove of benefit as may a steroid shot into the area. Best to visit a local dermatologist for full evaluation. 

Hi, Any mole that changes is best checked in person by your local dermatologist.

Could be a skin tag or a wart or something else. Best to get checked out by your local dermatologist.

Hi there. Scabies does not involve the face and scalp in adults. Please do not tear at your skin. Best to get evaluated by the doctor who has placed you on lithium/haldol as there are medications that can help rid you of these sensations.

not a good idea to pop pimples as this may produce a small scar; if pimples are becoming more frequent best to see a dermatologist.

Hi, and yes, many men don't take well to sunscreen.  As for your dad: burned areas are more prone to developing skin cancer, even without sun exposure. So, definitely urge him to use a high SPF sunscreen when in the sun. 

Could be a ganglion cyst. A family doctor or dermatologist can tell you for sure.

A photo might be helpful to determine the cause of your blister.

Hi,  Shaving can sometimes induce a folliculitis, meaning irritation of the hair follicle. This is a possibility although I can't make a definitive diagnosis from the photo. Certainly if the condition persists or recurs, a visit to your local dermatologist is prudent.

Hi, It is possible that bite trauma led to either cyst or scar formation. Best to get looked at by a local dermatologist who can determine the exact nature of the lumps.

Hi and PLEASE STOP USING TANNING BEDS, which increase your chance of skin cancer each time you enter one. I am sure you look great with a tan, so buy a self-tanning lotion. Many are so good that I can't tell the difference from a natural tan .https://themighty.com/topic/skin-cancer/stephanie-ehrlich-skin-cancer-tanning-bed-photos/
 As for the itching: try taking Claritin, Allegra, or Zyrtec. If it persists, best to see a local dermatologist.

Could be cysts or fatty tissue deposits. Best to see a local dermatologist to find out the cause.

Most lipomas can be removed quite simply. Stitches will be required. The number removed per session: depends on the surgeon/dermatologist. As a general rule, I do not remove more than 3 per session. Perhaps you have access to a teaching hospital where resident physicians may be able to remove many more per session. When new lipomas will cease to form is an open question.
