What causes pimples between your legs?

Hi there, I would try using a body cleanser with salicylic acid and try moisturizers that are oil-free or labeled as "noncomedogenic." Body acne can be caused by tight clothing and sweat or possibly irritation from a laundry detergent so that might be something to look into as well. However, if you've been dealing with this for over a year, I'd say it might be time to see a dermatologist.

How do narcissists deal with their own physical illnesses and what is the best way to deal with them when they are ill?

I would have to say that the competition for attention, the all-consuming jealousy, the societal expectation for them to act somehow compassionate or loving when they are incapable of this and their general distaste for any demonstration of human frailty or imperfections (which sickness represents for them) would send them packing quickly, if not physically, certainly emotionally. I think I would prefer for the narcissist to take a hike than hang around and rage for attention while I was trying to recover. Count your blessings.

My narcissist left me five days after I had broken my ankle, and I was in a wheelchair ... after 11 years together. They have no empathy, none. My advice is to run and don't look back. (If you can run on a broken ankle.)

The spouse's illness is an effrontery to the narcissist's delusions of omnipotence, invulnerability, and perfection. She is rendered imperfect, a drag on his resources, a weakling. Narcissists hate the weak, the old, the young, the sick, the emotional - because they remind them of their own suppressed emotions.

The narcissist - always above commonality and the law - resents society's expectations of him. He does not understand why he has to waste his precious time on damaged goods. The sick spouse becomes a source of negative narcissistic supply, a silent condemnation of the narcissist, a pointed (and sore) finger, an embarrassment, and a stark reminder of the grandiosity gap - the abyss between reality and the narcissist's fantasies.

The N I was unfortunate to be with severed all contact with me after I was admitted to hospital with a life-threatening condition.

How do you get rid of shyness FAST?

Shyness is a hard thing to beat, but if you stay in faith, anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Pimples on upper arm?

Those probably aren't actually pimples, they just look like them. Those are actually caused by dry skin flakes building up around your pores. Try putting some moisturizer on your limbs before you go to sleep for the night. ..... What you're describing sounds like keratosis pilaris. Keratosis pilaris (ker-uh-TO-sis pil-AIR-is) is a common skin condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms and thighs. Though you may not like the sandpaper-like appearance of your skin, keratosis pilaris isn't serious and doesn't have long-term health implications. Keratosis pilaris can be frustrating because it's difficult to treat. Prescription medications and self-care measures can improve the appearance of your skin. Note: regular exfoliation and use of body lotions does help lessen the appearance. Keratosis pilaris results from the buildup of keratin - a hard protein that protects your skin from harmful substances and infection. The keratin forms a scaly plug that blocks the opening of the hair follicle. Usually many plugs form, causing patches of rough, bumpy skin.

What is the fastest way to get rid of acne scars?

There simply is no fast way to get rid of acne scars, though there are a variety of treatments available for acne scarring. Here are some:

  • Laser skin resurfacing
  • Dermabrasion
  • Subscision
  • Chemical peels
  • Skin needling

Professionally, these treatments are very costly. However, I spent a few months doing research into beating depressed acne scars in the face and started treating my scars 6 weeks ago. This is what I did:

  • Two high strength collagen tablets just before you go to bed every night (you can find this on Amazon or Chemist Direct or any good health food shop). If you're allergic to seafood this is not a good idea.
  • Skin Doctors Gamma Hydroxy SKin Resurfacing Cream - apply this every night to the affected skin (again, found on Amazon)
  • Any good quality collagen cream, which you rub on in the morning.
  • Quit smoking, so the skin can heal itself properly. Limit alcohol, as it causes inflammation of the skin. Eat a healthy diet of plenty fruit, veg, fish, lean meat. Cut out processed food and research for anti-inflammatory, healing diet guidance. Protein is essential for tissue repair. Take a vitamin E supplement or use vitamin E cream on skin.
  • Adopt a good simple skin care regime - cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day with products aimed at combatting and preventing further acne flare ups. Exfoliate with Neutrogena Wave machine once a day.
  • Buy a 0.5mm Dermaroller. It is a home skin needling procedure and is done without the need of professionals. I do it every other day, with numbing cream, which is cheap. Very quick and simple.

This all seems like quite a lot, but six weeks on, I have seen already a ten percent reduction in depressed scars on my face. The Dermaroller is the best thing I've ever invested in and does not cost too much. I have followed the above steps and believe me, it is worth the hard work.

Can birth control make you get acne?

In the first three months of use, the birth control pill can make acne better or worse. After that breaking in period, most women have a decrease in acne when they're on the pill. If that's not the case for you, contact your health care provider, who may be able to change brands based on your complaint.

Why do you get butt acne?

Blisters form because your body is trying to prevent any further damage to skin and to heal the damage that has already been done from rubbing etc. This is why the disgusting pus is produced to help heal the skin, so it's a bad idea to pop them.

What are some good home remedies against acne?

The black marks are called black heads and you can get a black head remover in any cosmetic section of the store. I suggest you use a warm wet rag on your face to open your pores, then use the black head remover to remove them. You can also use your fingers, just don't over do it or you will have bruises.

Steaming is very beneficial for blackheads .Steam your face once in a week .Apply red sandalwood paste mixed with a little rose water .Tomatoes are very useful to get rid of blackheads .Rub tomato on the blackheads to get rid of it .

Answer 2

steam your face or put warm water or something warm on it and then rub a tomato in it so it actually goes in the paw and maybe gets it out if its ready, trust me, this used to be my job. they can also get rid of acne scars/ marks from where you've scratched a spot or blackhead. it also clears acne too.

Answer 3

How do you remove ingrown hairs in your armpits?

These are -- as you no doubt know -- quite painful. I'm going to say lancing is the treatment of choice, but it's not a first aid treatment. The first aid for this is packing it to prevent more irriation. I don't like lancing boils at home. It's a process that really can benefit from a doctor's eye and a good sterile field, not to mention it's sometimes quite valuable to culture the discharge from the boil. If done incorrectly, you can spread the infection that caused the boil to other tissues.

How do you get rid of acne on young children?

I had severe acne, i had to go through great pain with my face for over three years. I went to the GP and asked about it, he started me on a cream for 6 months- didnt work at all, he then gave me some tablets(they werent for severe acne)- so they didnt work after 1 and a half.. Until! He told me to see a dermatoligist finally, so we went to see him and he gave me two choices, the pill, or orratane. Its now 12 months later after many blood tests and quite bad side effects..BUT my face is perfect now, and theres a 80% chance it will never come back. I never expected to because it was so bad, and scaring you can somtimes fix with special creams.

AnswerOkay, so I've had acne for the longest time ever, since, like fifth grade, I think.

And I've found that the best way to get rid of it, is naturally, because I swear to god I've tried every single product [[pescriptions, over the counter, et cetera, et cetera]] until I got this natural remedies book that had a section on acne.

So I was like, whoa this is great, I'm totally gonna start rubbing food on my face all the time. Just kidding...but seriously:

Wash your face twice a day, once in the morning when you wake up, and once before you go to bed. But, I always wore foundation to try and cover up the fact that I had acne, so if you wear make-up then wash it off sometime in the afternoon, after school or work. Don't use medicated facewash at night, and preferrably just in the morning.

And another thing that works very very well, is Apple Cider vinegar. If you dab it on your acne before you go to bed [[for best results once of twice a day]] and leave it on, it works beautifully. But it does burn a bit and makes your eyes water. Also, aloe vera gel, before you go to bed, or lemon juice, or rubbing papaya skin on your face. Just alternate these random things, don't put them all on your face every night. That would take forever and I'm not sure how well it would work.

And, there are several other things like honey, honey works really good. But I've tried sleeping with it on my face...It was all over my pillows by the time I woke up. Mixing honey and cinnamon together and putting that on your face for a while, at least thirty minutes works good. Or honey by itself.

And even tomatoes. If you dab the excess tomato juice off and leave the slices on your face it works as a toner. Oh yeah and Witch Hazel [[an astringent used for cuts and rashes]] works really well and gets rid of scars too. Actually all the other things I named get rid of scars too, especially apple cider vinegar [[it worked the best for me]].

And vitamin E oil, you can get it at beauty supply stores or health stores like GNC, if you leave that on your face for a long time daily it works well. Even though it feels greasy and gets you all paranoid that it's gonna make you break out, it totally doesn't. Just don't touch your face while it's on there, that probably would make you break out.

Also if you mix nutmeg and unboiled milk into a paste and put that on pimples it gets rid of them, leave that on for about thirty minutes. And cucumber juice [[straight from cucumbers, I guess]] prevents acne, and makes your skin all fresh looking.

And I guess I wouldn't recommend this for a lot of people who are not that immune to pain, but Horse Radish Sauce clears up your skin really well, but do it about once a week, just put it on your pimples and leave it on for about thirty minutes. Although it burns A LOTT for a few minutes and makes your eyes water insanely. And I also have tried putting soy sauce on my face, that works too.

But you can also drink things that make your skin clear up, and if you drink them continuously, I'm sure they keep your acne from springing up. If you drink about 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar about three times a day [[mixed with cranberry juice b/c it's disgusting without]], and drink green tea a lot, about 3-4 glasses a day, preferrably decaf. That works insanely well, it clears it up b/c of the anti-oxidants and prevents it, and it makes your skin tone even and clears up scars, also. And you can conveniently rub that used warm tea bag on your face and that works really great on acne and tightens pores and makes your face pretty, somewhat like a foundation. Also, I know it sounds cliche but drinking eight glasses a day. Idk, I think it has something to do with keeping your liver dehydrated which gives it more time to actually work better and clear out toxins better. And all of these things together can actaully help you lose weight too, without even dieting. It's crazy...

But try not to dry your face out too much, don't go insane and start torturing your skin with this newly learned information.

AnswerTry these simple remedies:

Wash your face with lukewarm water. You could opt for Neem based soap, Neem is known to be a good remedy for all skin related problems.

Apply fenugreek leaves paste over the face every night for sometime and wash with lukewarm water.

Usage of Aloe Vera is also suggested for Acne

Make sure that you wash off all the make-up cosmetics that have been applied before going to bed.

Applying paste of honey & cinnamom powder before sleeping & washing it off the next morning is also a good remedy

If your skin is not sensitive, you could apply lemon juice overnight and wash it of the next morning.

Wash your face with unboiled milk & gram flour

ANSWERAvoid using hot or cold water on your face. Facial skin is one of the most sensitive parts of your skin and should never be washed with anything else than lukewarm water. Hot water will burn the outer layers and cause the pores to open up too much, thereby exposing yourself to even more danger. Cold water, on the other hand will force the pores to contract and you will no longer be able to clean them, thus defeating the purpose of washing. Read the full article by following the link below.

ANSWER:

well this is my take on it-i used to have horrible acne. i didnt talk to anyone because i was so self conscious about how my acne. i wasnt really living life. i seen a dermatologist, and she put me on this stuff that made it even worse. i was completely miserable. i tryed EVERYTHING. acne-free, clearisil, pro-activ. nothing worked. but then i tryed the 4 step system from clinque, and it worked! i was so shocked. i wasnt expecting it to work. now i have clearer skin, and my self confidence went up. so you should try that stuff. you can buy it at your local mall. i know exactly how you feel. don't let it keep you down! just try it, it is amazing (:

Does the neutrogena wave cure acne and make your skin clean and soft?

I just got it 2 days ago, so im not really for sure how well it works. It says to change the pad every time you use it, but I use the same pad in the morning, and then before I go to bed, and then I change it. So I change the pad after 2 uses. But I love Neutrogena Wave because it makes my skin soft and clean, its easy to use, and to me it smells good. But the pads can be expensive though, its $10 for a thirty pack of pads for it. But yes, I think it works great.

Why do pimples appear on my butt?

Moisture is often a cause of pimples, clogged pores. If your toddler has pimples on the buttalks, I would suggest using a anti-bacterial soap on the buttalks only. Make sure to change diapers frequently to prevent extra moisture. Sometimes pimples can be caused by a rash, it can be caused by the brand of diapers, or laundry soap even. It's best to leave the pimples alone, do not scrub or bother them, and wash the buttalks often, with the anti-bacterial soap to clean and dry them out.

How can you get rid of the scars left on your face from where pimples used to be?

There are numerous things that are available nowadays to help get rid and even conceal red marks "scarring" left over from mild acne. The most powerful and effective is dermabrasion. (A dermatologist will exfoliate your upper dermis to help rid you of scars and create a more even skin tone). You can purchase at home kits (not as effective, but WAY cheaper and gentler to the skin). Using skin care products that promote evening out of the complection is also a good start. Concealers that have a green under tone help rid your skin of redness while waiting for your face to improve. ( ask the cosmetics dept). Last but not least, time will eventually improve your skin"s tone with proper care. You will also want to avoid alcohol, acids, and chemical solutions. Alcohols, salicylic acid, Retina-A, and benzoyl peroxide, actually dry the skin; and because they are synthetic, acne-causing bacteria become immune to the chemically created solutions. Why? Because chemical solutions are created to treat the type of bacteria they sought to treat that was in existence when the solutions were made. Unfortunately, bacteria are living organisms and they learn to mutate quickly. When mutation occurs, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide fail. They also are harsh on the skin and create more scars.

Is scars dead skins?

Scars are made up of fibrous tissue, which is a result of skin repair. It is still live tissue, but it is not as good as the skin that was there before the injury.

no its just spotts dont worry they probly not gonna go If your acne is severe use Differin. If its mild acne you can use Retin-A

Does smoking cause acne?

Anything you smoke cause's acne. It clogs your pores and could harm your complection, not good.
yes weed does have its medicinal purposes, which is mostly from the THC. When you smoke it though you are smoking so much other crap that's not important so that can be very bad for your health. This is why making cookies or brownies is better for you. Also a vaporizer is much better than actually lighting the weed because a vaporizer only heats the weed to a very high temperature, thus creating vapors for you to inhale, which is much better for the lungs as well. Maybe when if I get clear from Wai's diet, freeacnebook.com , I will try smoking some weed, then I will compare the results to cooking with it.

Ahh.. getting high for educational purposes.. Don't try this at home kids...
As far as I'm concerned, marijuana smoke has nothing to do with acne. Unless one has poor hygiene, acne shouldn't depend on how much marijuana is smoked or consumed. So no, it does not cause acne.
no you just stress about it because its illegal and the stress gives you it.
No.

Traits do. So, if your parents had it, then you will too. It has nothing to do with eating or smoking bad things. But you shouldn't smoke marijuana anyhow
There are no studies that have linked acne to marijuana. Nevertheless, always keep your skin clean
Marijuana aggravates acne because it lowers testosterone levels then raises these levels producing an imbalance in hormones.

Dont masturbate.

Masturbation cause acne, when you reach adult age you get acne,dandruff, you get all skin problems, hormones imbalance release as acne, dandruff.

Practically test it . Stop Masturbation for 1 to 2 months and check you get acne or not. Definitely YOur acne will be reduced 99% when you stop masturbation.

How do you cure a pimple or acne without buying medication?

In my opinion it has nothing to do with chocolate, sex, etc. There are many medications now for the treatment of acne, they are available from your family doctor of dermatologist. Topical antibioitcs is often the first choice, systemic antibiotics (Tetracycline or Vibramycin) are most commonly used, topical retinoic acid also works(signicant redness and irritation initially are common), of you are female certain oral contraceptives show dramatic improvement (specifically Ortho Tri Cyclen or the generic equivalent is often my first choice in women with no contraindications to birth control pills. There are few side effects, unlike many of the other options and the results are usually significant improvement. Sometimes more than one drug must be used in severe cases. The other option is Accutane, it dries the oil glands in your skin, but has a list of side effects a mile long, including serious birth defects. Many people notice improvement with use of tanning beds, this also dries the skin, but cannot be used with certain antibiotics and other medications.

Some recommendations: Proactiv is a relatively new over the counter medication, some people report success with its use. Proactiv, I use it and it has done wonders for me not only does it clear up your acne it makes your skin soft and moisturized also. It is relatively cheap and very worth it. Other than that I suggest washing your face regularly with a hot, wet towel and then after the hot towel use a someone cool, wet towel on your face because this closes the pours and helps to keep dirt from getting inside.

Zenmed's Body Acne Combo Kit which is a botanical treatment which is specifically meant for clearing body acne. The kit contains two products, a botanical mask and a botanical acne wash. The mask is applied on the affected region before a shower and in the shower the mask is washed off with the acne wash and water. One to two weeks of using this treatment will see the back clear of any signs of acne. Remember to have a shower if you sweat too much as sweat can clog the pores and make your acne worse.

Remedies For Acne on Your Back: If you are sweating a lot, wash back more often. Also, if your conditioner is really oily, it might increase the 'bacne'...try using a foam conditioner or washing your back after you condition your hair.

Another Suggestion: If "Proactive" can work on your face there is no reason it can't work on your back. My girlfriend had a terrible outbreak of acne on her face for the very first time (in pre menopause) and she tried everything. She finally tried Proactive and it's working.

Take oatmeal baths, and apply apple cider vinegar to bacne about twice a day to get rid of it.

When taking a shower, don't scrub too hard. put any kind of toothpaste over the area. i have tried it and it feels good. I don't know if the toothpaste does anything because i tried it today and i haven't looked at my back since then.

Some people try a tanning bed (but there may be a risk of skin cancer).

Research findings now show that diet is the deepest "cure" for acne. To learn more about this, and what foods you should avoid, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
