Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...

It could be dermatitis (skin infection) reaction to tinea corporis. If you touch someone with tinea corporis, then you could get that. It doesn't have to be shaped like a ring. \nThis website has pictures you could look at and compare. \nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000877.htm\n\nGo to your doctor. \n\nTinea infections are contagious and can be passed by direct contact with affected individuals or by contact with contaminated items such as combs, clothing, shower, or pool surfaces.\nSymptoms  of the tinea corporis:\n    * Itching of the affected area\n    * Skin lesion, rash\n        o On the arms, legs, face, trunk (usually exposed body areas)\n          o Ring shaped\n          o Reddened patch (abnormally dark or light skin)\n          o Borders advance and spread and the center clears\n          o Borders appear scaly, distinct\n\nThe diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin. If tests are used, they may include the following:\n    * A KOH (potassium hydroxide) test, in which skin scrapings are dissolved in KOH and then examined under a microscope. This test is painless and easy, and the results are available immediately.\n    * A skin lesion biopsy with microscopic examination or culture to look for dermatophytes.

Soak the sty with a warm water washcloth several times a day.  Keep it clean and make sure you wash your hands after touching the area.  A sty is usually caused by the  staphylococcus bacteria and can be contagious.\n\nGood Luck

You really should go to a dr asap,,this could turn in a staff infection very easily and believe me you do not want something like that so close to your privates.  I had something that sounds very similar to what I had and it turned out to be staff.  Does it feel warm or feverish in anyway??

*Palmoplantar Pustulosis sounds like a likely possibility.  You can learn about it here:\nhttp://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/palmoplantar_pustu.html\n*Also tinea infections (also known as athlete's foot) can infect the hands as well, though rare.\n*Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (has anyone checked her throat)?\n*Blistering Dactylitis (caused by strep) - more common in kids\n*Dishydrotic eczematous dermatitis\n*Pustular psoriasis\n\nNone of these are serious, and all could be diagnosed by a dermatologist.

Dear brygeobu76,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the medical field would employ a holistic approach to your contagion. brygeobu76, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow brygeobu76, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nbrygeobu76, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, brygeobu76. Have a great day!\n-Kenny

Good grief! Your 'friend' has terminal athlete's foot or a serious infection of some sort. Time to get him/thee to a dermatologist and get the problem solved. Puss! I would think that would be the 1st clue that something is more than amiss. Fungal infections can lead to dual infections in about 20 minutes (literally). Bacteria can invade fungal-damaged tissue and reek havock. I suspect the smell alone would be enough for most sufferers to take action.

Genital warts (or condyloma, or condylomata acuminata) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection. Caused by some variants of the Human papillomavirus, typically HPV 6 and HPV 11, it is spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner.

What you probably have is Molluscum Contagiosum.  It is really easy to get rid of.  Just go to your dermatologist and they will either freeze them or remove them with a sharp device.  Removal should be painless or very little pain.  These are contagious and can spread if you scratch them.  Don't try and pop them...this will spread the rash.

You are probably thinking of a staph infection.  Staph is a bacterium that can be found everywhere and, when it infiltrates a human system, very dangerous.  I don't know from your question exactly what form the staph infection is taking or whether or not you've sought treatment, but I'd advise you seek a physician's help.  Bumps on the face and genitals caused by staph could be serious.

What is impetigo?\n\nImpetigo (pronounced im-puh-TIE-go) is a common infection of the surface of the skin. Impetigo is usually caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus ("staph") or Streptococcus ("strep"). Because this condition is more common in children, some people mistakenly call it "infantigo." \n\nIs impetigo contagious?\n\nYes, it is highly contagious. Children in close physical contact with each other tend to spread the condition although adult skin is more resistant. Trauma to the skin, such as a cut or scrape, seems to play a role in allowing bacteria that have been living harmlessly on the skin to establish a foothold and cause infection. Clothing and towels seem to be less important factors in causing the spread of this condition. \n\nWhat does impetigo look like?\n\nImpetigo has two general forms: ordinary impetigo and bullous impetigo. \nOrdinary impetigo is scabby and pustular (little pimples full of pus) in appearance and is generally caused by strep germs. It starts as a small blister or pustule that ruptures and leaves a reddish base which is then covered by a honey-colored crust. In children, this condition often begins on the skin near the nose, though it may spread. Ordinary impetigo is also known as impetigo vulgaris and streptococcal impetigo. \n\nBullous impetigo produces large, fragile blisters and is caused mostly by staph germs. It also often affects the face, but may appear elsewhere. The blisters it forms have very thin walls that collapse, leaving a bright red, inflamed, moist base. Bullous impetigo is also known as impetigo bullosa and staphylococcal impetigo. \n\nHow is impetigo diagnosed?\n\nIt is important to remember that not every oozing, crusty rash is necessarily infected. Especially in adults, this crusty rash may represent nothing more than the habit of picking at an otherwise innocuous pimple or bump. \n\nHow is impetigo treated?\n\nOral antibiotics that are given for 7 to 10 days will generally clear up impetigo. These antibiotics include derivatives of penicillin, erythromycin, and cephalexin. \n\nA prescription strength topical antibiotic, such as mupirocin (Bactroban), is also very safe and effective. Its use often makes oral treatment unnecessary. \n\nOver-the-counter topical antibiotics like bacitracin or Neosporin (which contains bacitracin) do not seem to be much more effective than applying petroleum jelly or nothing at all. When they do seem to work, it is often because the condition was not infected to begin with. \n\nConclusion\n\nRegardless of how ugly impetigo may look, it only affects the top layer of the skin and therefore it does not leave permanent scars.

I work for an eye doctor.  We have been in contact almost every day with our Sales Rep from Bausch & Lomb (the company that makes ReNu).  They have advised us not to hand out the solution for the time being.  The Center for Disease Control is investigating the cases reported and trying to discover the cause.  They discovered that the infected patients have all been using the ReNu Solution, but no direct cause has been determined yet.  The CDC has NOT specifically accused B&L for the outbreak but have asked them to halt production and distribution for the time being.  This fungus is extremely rare and only about 50 actual cases of it have been reported.  I think it is important to note that ReNu has been using "Moisture Loc" in their solution for years.  The FDA never approved it until now so that's why they never advertised it and changed the labels on their bottles.  So the actuality of this particular solution causing the fungus is highly unlikely since the same solution has existed for several years now.  However, you should be cautious and proper contact lens care should be used when cleaning and handling your lenses.  Always wash your hands before putting them in and taking them out.  Always use a lens solution that has disinfecting properties.  Sterile saline cleans, but does not disinfect.  This particular fungus does cause permanant eye damage.  If you think you have symptoms, you should consult your eye doctor immediately.  Some symptoms include:\nSudden Vision Loss\nCloudiness\nRed and Irritated Eyes\nPain or Pressure\nAlso, if you are actually diagnosed, be sure that your doctor reports your case to the CDC and B&L.  Please pass this information along and encourage people to consult their eye doctors if they have questions.  Calling B&L directly is not effective and is not recommended

My son had Fifths disease before.  Its also known as parvovirus B19 and "slapped cheek" disease.  Its actually not a disease at all --its a virus-- and once the child has the rash, it is no longer contagious.  They're most contagious right before the rash appears and the rash can last about 1 to 2 weeks.  Other than the rash there are usually no other symptoms at all although its possible to have fever, aches and itching.  My son didn't have any of that. Its not really treatable so you just wait it out until the rash goes away.  The child can go to school with the rash without passing it on to anyone else.
