about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

advice

My son - African American - has hair bumps throught his head and at the bottom of his hairline on the back of his neck. He has tried several products to get rid of them to no avail. Someone suggested he use Vagisil. He's been trying that for the past 2-3 days. Nothing happening yet. Anybody have suggestions out there on how to get rid of them?

Thanks

Since basically the bumps are slightly infected hair follicles, try antibiotic ointment. There is also a newer cream called "calmoseptic" that might help. If it can be avoided, don't use hydrocortisone cream. Although the over the counter version is rather mild, steroid creams cause lightening of black skin.
