Is amoxicillin good a treating acne or skin diseases?
Is it similar to pennacillin because when I took that I had no acne...
----------
I have never heard of anyone using penicilin to treat acne. They are similar, both beta lactams, but taking a p.o. beta lactam for the purpose of acne has risks, including the development of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections in the GI tract as well as side effects such as diarrhea. (

what kind of skin diseases do i have?
i have this rushes on both of my legs and it spreads so quickly sometimes its itchy i am under medication from yesterday and it look like the cream i was prescribe is not working?
----------
It will work as long as you don't expose the infected area to oxygen or the air, my advice would be to keep the infected area covered as possible for fast healing, do not itch as it'll make it a bacteria inhabiting ground for new ones to enter your body, don't want that now do we, just keep applying cream to the irritated area and keep it covered.

What genetic diseases/skin conditions occur in association with keratosis pilaris?
Please... anyone with a REAL answer?
----------
KP is a genetic skin disorder and it is hereditary. There have been suggestions made that KP might be linked with a deficiency in Vitamin A.
"Follicular keratosis refers to orthokeratosis involving the follicular ostium and infundibulum. It may be isolated [as in standard keratosis pilaris (KP)] or associated with other pathologic processes, including follicular inflammation, atrophy, scarring, and alopecia [keratosis pilaris atrophicans (KPA)]. These are reaction patterns that occur alone or as part of a wide variety of syndromes"
The disorder may be associated with eczema (dermatitis). (

Why is the control of pruritis so important in curing skin diseases?
Pruritis is medical speak for intense itching. There are at least a couple reasons why it so important to control/treat: 1) People can scratch themselves to distraction and actually have open wounds all over their body which are then open to more infection, and by extension, worse infections and diseases than the one they presented with. 2) Open skin sites can give further skin area for the presenting infection to spread and increase, so you can make the condition worse and bigger if you spread it by itching. 3) Human beings being what they are, if you itch an infectious skin condition and don't wash your hands well or at all (sigh), you can spread the condition to others. 4) You can also scratch and itch yourself so much that you can damage the tissues and create scar tissue that takes months and months to heal or may require skin grafting. Does that answer your question pretty comprehensively? Any other questions? (

What is the reason for skin diseases on the rise nowadays?
Skin diseases is a pretty broad topic, but here are a few key points...
There is less high level ozone, so will be a steady growth in the number of skin cancer cases. Combine this with the sun worshiping that became prevalent in the 1960s (using baby oil and neck mirrors.. and there is no surprise.
Increasing incidences of allergies also play a role. The more scented stuff, weird proteins, and detergents we allow to sit on our skin day after day, the more likely we are to get diseases like eczema.
The final component is nutritional. The overall nutrition of Americans has declined significantly. There are many minerals, vitamins, and fats that are required to maintain the skin. Without these, it is just a question of time until the skin quality subsides. (
