Can you stop acne caused by birth control by going OFF of birth control pills?

Unfortunately there can be many side effects due to taking birth control pills. These, among others include skin irritation, increased pimples, and/or acne. If these symptoms are as a direct result of the birth control pills, when you stop taking them, the symptoms will indeed clear up. Remember that there are many types of birth control, and that you may just need to switch brands to clear up your skin. In any case, consult your doctor or even your pharmacist to see what other options they may be able to offer. Take care and good luck. Dr.B

Your Greyhound has a growth on his belly that use to look like a human pimple but has grown to the size of a dime There is puss and seems to be irritated Is this something to worry about?

YES! It is most likely a boil or cyst that keeps opening if the dog keeps scratching it, but could be cancerous and spread around the body (depending on how aggressive it is). Get it checked out as soon as possible. Any sore or lesion on an animal that is not healing should be brought to a vet's attention asap. My dog has some lumps under his skin that are fatty deposits called lypoma. Sometimes it's cancerous and sometimes they're not. We have them checked out and we have our vet remove them if they are cancerous or impede with movement (like under their armpit or something).

What is in toothpaste that dries pimples?

toothpaste on pimples works best if you pop the pimple first. trust me i know because i did it. it didnt hurt at all and it mayyyyjorlly reduced the size and redness of the pimple. also i can tell you three ingredients in some toothpastes that WONT work. ACOHOL. this will dry out the skin. and u actually dont want that. even if u hav oily skin MOISTURIZE DAILY. this will help alot. and when poping a pimple use tweezers it hurts alot less, and is easier if u dont hav long nails. another ingredient is WHITENING TOOTHPASTE. dont use this or it might give u a scar,blackhead or not even work.

hope that i helped! bye!

Is it true that sleeping early can prevent pimples?

While getting enough sleep can help reduce some of the stress that leads to an acne breakout, in general this is nothing but a myth.

Nothing can prevent acne, if you're prone to it; the only way to reliably reduce breakouts is to keep your skin as clean as possible, without over-drying it (or conversely, over-moisturizing it with pore-clogging creams and lotions).

If you do have a serious acne condition, talk to your doctor about prescription medications that can reduce (or possibly even eliminate) the worst of the breakouts.

What is a boile?

Do Honey and cinnamon prevent pimples?

I'm not aware of any evidence that honey and cinnamon prevents acne.

There is, however, a body of respected research that raw (unheated, untreated) honey itself has antibacterial, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties, and these are bound to help with at least some aspects of acne. Do NOT apply cinnamon to your face!!! It has a bad reaction on your face. It will turn your face RED bright RED. I tried it, trust me.

How do you get rid of chest and back acne?

It depends on what type of acne you have on your back and chest - do you have mostly noninflamed bumps or are they red and inflamed?

If they are noninflamed, try a strong exfoliant - use a scrub and strong AHA like glycolic or mandelic.

If they are inflamed use a strong benzoyl peroxide - leave it on all night (but wear a white t-shirt so you don't bleach your pj's or sheets!). Also, consider getting a benzoyl peroxide solution with some sulfur in it - it makes the bpo stronger and more anti-inflammatory. Do NOT use a scrub to cleanse your back if you have this kind of acne.

Check your body soap for pore-clogging ingredients and make sure your laundry soap is fragrance free and has no water-softeners in it. Avoid using fabric softener and/or dryer sheets because they can leave a waxy residue on your clothes and sheets that will exacerbate your acne.

Below is a list of pore-clogging ingredients you should avoid. Good luck!
