Is there a cure acne vulgaris pigmentaton on skin?
The only drug for acne is Isotretinoin and you need a prescription for it. However you have to take it for several months, never go in the sun without sun creme (that's why it's better to use it in the winter) and you may suffer from some side-effects. There is also a three-day natural treatment that helps many people regardless of their age.
How do you get rid of fine lines on face with home products?
must be an age old question this!1)-no smoking-2)-try cutting a lemon/lime in half & rub cut side on to face in a massaging way-3)-this one is not for the faint hearted but is the most effective....apply aged urine(ones own) to the face & leave on for 10mins then rinse with water.The magic here is that aged urine(min.1 week old,stored in dark bottle with cork) contains high level of urea.Most creams etc... have urea in them but we are a source of urea so no need to buy,just use your own.Dont be put off by the strong aroma.Another approach would be to run a bath & pour into the bath a 1/4 bottle of aged urine into bath so the whole body enjoys the benefit,& shower after bath.For more literature seek out booklets devoted to Urine Therapy.Dont let yourself be put off by the fact it is urine.It has been used for centuries by many cultures to treat afflictions.Remember,aged urine for skin conditons & fresh urine for drinking.NEVER drink aged urine.After several weeks you will notice a marked improvement & your skin just glows.You will be amazed.Enjoy..........Chris

What should you do if your mom wont get you acne cream?
Wash as often as you can with soap and water. Acne is caused when a build up of oil or bacteria holds a pore closed and the pore swells, so if you can keep your face clean, and pop the blockage off of acne you do develop, you will be better off.
On popping acne:
Don't Scrape (leaves scaring)
Pop with 2 fingernails and then apply disinfectant to prevent disease.
Why does acne get worse before getting better?
You mean like when you first start an acne cream? Benzoil peroxide is bad for that because it really dries out your skin and makes it red and itchy especially if your new to it. But when i went on accutane my dermatologist said my skin would get worse before better to and he said because it was basically pushing your acne to the surface to shrink the glands.
My advice? well im not going to recomend benzoil peroxide because i hate the stuff but its also because when i went on proactive (benzoil peroxide based) i got bumps on my skin which is a sign of being allergic to it so it just basically helped sorta didnt really do anything, but it made my skin feel really good n clean. I use Oil free Acne stress Control by Neutrogena, it is easily the most comfortable cream ive used because theres moisturizer in it and its easy on your skin and it helped right away before getting worse, its not as strong as benzoil peroxide though. I dont really know if that answered anything but its kind of a hard question, hopefully someone will add.
The often misunderstood"Keloid".
Well here's the skinny on "what it is" and "how it happens". A keloid is a grouping of disorganized skin cells formed in locations of injury where the surface tissue has been damaged or cut. Often referred to as "scar tissue", this tissue because of it's disorganised structure doesn't stretch ( if it does, it doesn't stretch as far as the surrounding normal tissue ). Deep burns, deep cuts and other more invasive injuries will form keloids to fill in the area of damage to protect the bodies inner workings.
Body piercings do not form keloids because the body is guarded from the outside by the jewellery in the piercing, so the body forms a "fistula*" (*a tube of skin ) this is actual organised skin cells that have the ability to stretch unlike scar tissue. Lumps and bumps beside the piercings are quite often called Keloids but this is a mistake made by most inexperienced body piercers ( generally due to a lack of further training and self education ). These bumps are another animal all together known as a "Hypertrophic Reaction".
Hypertrophic Reactions are just what the name infers a "reaction" generally a hypertrophic reaction can occur with any organs in or on the human body ( skin is an organ ). When they occur with a piercing, it's due to the application of an irritant ( generally the cleaner or disinfectant that has been recommended to clean and heal the piercing ). The application of this or the over use of these agents cause irritation to the new "fistula" the body is forming and thus the "reaction" occurs. A bump generally reddish in color will form near or at the entry or exit point of the piercing.
The client will at discovery of this bump, unknowingly apply even more cleaner or aftercare solution or spray and thus annoy the tissue even more. Simply ceasing the application of products and irrigating the piercing daily under running water has been found effective is 99% of the clients who have formed "hypertrophic reactions". The time period to see a change in this reaction can be from a few days to a couple of weeks. I hope you have found the above enlightening and informative and is based on over 16 years of experience professionally providing several thousand piercings over that time period.
Other than a boil what could be a painless blood filled bump inside the edge of the nose?
It could be a swollen capillary.
A proactive attitude means that the person is not just sitting there waiting for things to happen. The proactive person is out there making things happen to achieve their goals.
if they are all over the body then they may be chicken pox but if they are large groups of them or just in one spot they could be hives i highly doubt that they are hives but its possible P.S you can trust me from experience of treating them and dont let her scratch them they only get worse i would either go to the dr. or rub hibocortizone creme on them and dont touch them they are contagious by touch I recommened using gloves to touch them.
What is the colourless liquid that comes out of spots?
The yellow liquid that comes out of spots is usually termed as pus. It is dead white cells, ie dead lymphocytes. The clear liquid is plasma, it contains white blood cells.
Hope it helps all of us with this problem. GL I have the same problem, and I've research and havent found any cure
It could. You would be doing a number on the skin of your face and that is always asking for trouble. Pimples are caused by bacteria trapped in your pores. So, some soap and water is good; it kills bacteria. But, your skin is always home to tons as bacteria, even if you have just stepped out of the shower. If your soap is to harsh or you scrub too often you will damage and dry out your skin. This causes it to flake off (even if it is only microscopically) and those flake can cause more bloackage and hence, more pimples. Try using a liquid soap and warm water and when your face feels clean and you have removed any excess oil be sure to add a *light* layer of a light lotion. Just to keep the skin moist enough not to flake off. If you aren't able to get it under control that way you may need to get medicated cream or antibiotic from a dermatologist. Pimples are very common in teens, women who are pregnant/nursing and somewhat in women going through menopause. Any time your hormones are acting up it can cause some minor health issues like that. Don't let it ruin your day. Hope this helps!
YES DEFFIANETLY only wash when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed washing your face to the extreme can stimulate oil glands causeing clogged poress BUT DO NOT USE HOT WATER WHEN WASHING YOUR FACE it dries out skin REALLY bad use warm water and a cleanser!
How do you get rid of pimples on the face and the body?
btw...my birthday is in a week and im having a huge bash....so plzzz help!!!!!!!!!
and im a girl!!!! but prefer no makeup...some serious remedy or medicine is required! HELP!!!!!!
Use clearasil , nutregena or teatree oil. Make sure you wash your face properly and don't wear heavy make up for two long.
EVERY NIGHT I do not go to sleep unless I have washed my face with cold (not too cold) water and cloriphill. The kind of skin type you have is essential to the kind of face cleanser you use. I advice not to use roughness or extreme temperature on face. 2.
You will need:
* Wash basin * Flannel * Face Wash (one which is good for you, I use Johnson's 3 in 1) * A moisturiser (how ever you spell it .. lolio) Step 1:
Wash your face with warm water and then apply a small amount of face wash liquid onto you fingers and apply to the face in circular motions (Make sure you rub it in around your hairline and on your jaw line). The cream should go bubbly :)
Step 2:
Wash the facial wash off with warm water again and then wash your face with cold water to close your pores.
Step 3:
Dab your face with a flannel to dry your face.
Step 4:
Moisturise you face
Step 5:
Admire you beautiful skin x
Why do girls suddenly have acne breakouts?
Usually, when a girl comes to the age of 10, they start to grow pimples. If your lucky, you won't get any pimples from ages 10-11. At 12, the pimples start to grow in. The most common places for pimples to grow is your checks, nose, and forehead. Sometimes they only grow in one place, two places, or all over, and trust me, all over is not good, I'm not saying you're sick or anything, it's just that you won't look so good. When they do grow in, use lots of pimple cream or you can pop them by using your left index finger and your right. Use your nails. Be careful not to cut yourself while you're popping them, especially if you have long nails. If your nails are long and sharp, you might wanna stick to the pimple cream. I'm not a skin doctor, but these things work for me.
Hope I helped!
Mostly in the face, sometimes the chest and the back. it does not occur in the leg, though. Unless it is chicken pox.
The way I cleared my skin is by not doing anything , I realized that when I washed it and it got extremely dry the pimples just disappeared , also keep your hands away from your face and avoid contact with anything that wants to toutch your face
