Why is phisoderm clear confidence body wash discontinued?
Phisoderm contains Hexachlorophene which is acompound that is relatively toxic, you can compare this to cocaine being taken out of coca cola. Sure it works but since it can cause convulsions in infants (when used as a soap), is it really that safe?
its normal in about 50-99% of males so dont think your alone many men could have it :) i am also 14 and going through puberty and i have seen the same thing
gl if your unsure always ask parents or doctors
Do radio frequency remedy to acne and pimple?
Not sure but I can tell you, and this is nasty. When I was a kid I was told this and though it was a joke to see if if I'd try it but later learned it really is true. Sadly. A good way to help acne is, when you get up in the morning, your first urination will help clear acne. I don't know if you fill up a jar, piss in you hand's and rub it on but it is a good acne clearer. I think most of the ointment's that you buy for like 10 bill's makes it either worse or so that your skin/body become used to it quick and after a week or two using it just doesn't matter. Just wash your face with WARM not real hot, or cold just Goldie locks and you should be good. Also, look for products that have benzol peroxide as the active ingredient. It work's a lot better that sylitac acid and that's doctor approved. The benzo good, sylitic not as much. Sorry just am blank on the radio freq. thing.

Does laser acne treatment hurt?
Laser acne treatment can vary per treatment. I actually just started my treatment two weeks ago, and I have to go again this weekend for my second treatment. The first treatment didn't really hurt, it was just a little sting when the heat touched my face. Me and my friend went for the treatment together so we got a deal, its $45 per treatment...so if I need about 4 or 5 treatments it will end up costing near $180 or $225.
If possible, I would stay away from laser acne treatment.
Well, I'm not sure about the cost (though I know it is pretty expensive...), but I used to go for laser acne treatment. Sometimes it slightly stings, sometimes I just feel warmth. I went to get laser treatment every weekend about five times before I just quit because it wasn't really helping and it made my face blotchy (as if it wasn't blotchy enough already). The place I went to puts gel stuff on my forehead beforehand because the laser shoots out and jabs the spot. I think the gel is supposed to block the laser from getting too deep into your skin or something, I have no idea....... but what I DO know, is that when the gel wore off one time and the doctor didn't know it, the laser shot out and it hurt very much. I guess the gel is supposed to lessen pain, too, cause without it I was in AGONY that one time. I actually started to cry because it hurt so bad. Anyway, that was just an experience I had.... don't think that you'll get the same amount of pain because treatments are all different.... so yeah.
Just a little tip: after I stopped the treatment, I just started washing my face more often and my acne cleared up almost completely for several days. I didn't use any special home remedies or anything.
Which is better neutrogena wave or clean and clear blackhead eraser?
I think it really depends on what you need. The wave doesn't say its meant for acne or anything so if you're just looking for a daily cleanser, get that, but if you're having problems with blackheads, I'd say go for the Eraser. I prefer Cellnique Skin Action Sebum Gel!
Pigment or the lack thereof has no connection whatsoever with bacterial growth. So, yes, there is absolutely no reason a person with albinism would not get acne based on the fact that they have albinism. People with albinism are humans, why the heck would acne not form? Unless there is some link to visual disability and perfect skin, or between protein pigments inhibiting or causing bacterial growth (WHICH THERE IS NOT) then yes, anyone can get acne.

Is there any laser treatment for open pores?
go for pro yellow laser treatment or erbium laser therapy it will take u 3 sittngs to c good results....
i have been wondering the same thing, someone said it might be an infected or in grown hair. I had one and I popped it and white puss came out, but it felt much better and it was a lot like a zit. i am still trying to find outfor sure what them are and what causes them.
Yes your dog can get zits and if it does get it to the vet immediately...it possibly can be a life/death sittuation! Also its kinda random, but if your dog eats chocolate it can be the same way...chocolate and zits can be life threatening sittuations for dogs!
How do you get rid of acne scars on your face without laser surgery?
Not everyone can afford surgery that's why most people with acne-related problems resort to natural treatment methods for acne scar removal. However, one thing you should remember is having the acne scars removed through natural methods could take a while before you actually see results.
You may apply any of the following on the affected area:
- Lemons
- Sandalwood and rosewater
- Tomatoes and cucumber
- Ice cubes
- Aloe vera

Acne usually doesnt have odor, I am not sur ehow are you experiencing it, can be due to any medication you are using for acne.
A Blind Zit can be a fairly large or fairly small pimple that has been stored far beneath the skin.
These types of zits are not easily popped because there is a layer of skin blocking it, which is usually the cause of the large bump.
Unless the zit rises to the surface, you can use a needle to poke into the middle of the zit to reach the pocket. However, I highly recommend not using this method to get rid of the zit.
How to get rid of the Blind Pimple:
My own personal way of getting rid of blind pimples is by NOT POPPING THE ZIT. Under any circumstances, do not pop this zit. It will only cause scarring and pain.
Freeze an ice pack in the freezer and every night, take the ice pack out and place it on the zit when you are sleeping. The cold will help decrease swelling and make the zit smaller.
After a while, you might be able to pluck off the top and squeeze the blood out. (Sometimes, blood is all you will get so don't pick too much. Just take the blood out to relieve the pressure.) IMMEDIATELY wash your face after removing the blood. Continue to use the ice pack until the pimple is completely gone.
How to pop the zit safely:
If you wish to pop your zit due to personal reasons, do the complete opposite from my method. Use a hot pack every night and place it on the zit while you sleep.
After a few nights, see if the zit has risen to the surface. If it has, simply pluck off the top and squeeze the zit out.
Some cons about using this method is you will have scarring and there may be a lot of bleeding. Also, when you pop the zit, it might hurt!
(ZPT) Zit Popping Tip:
When popping zits, use your knuckles instead of using your finger tips. This will prevent the fingernail indents and prevent a scar.
How can you get rid of a pimple?
First, try a better face wash, or a prescription face wash. If this doesn't work, try these tips:
- Don't over-wash your face with soap. This will make it worse because it dries out the skin, making it more prone to breakouts. Make sure you rinse well when using soap; you can also just rinse with water, not using soap.
- Don't pop it or touch it. Trust me....it will leave a BAD scar.
- Hold ice on it for 10 minutes then put a little dot of face wash that makes your skin feel minty onto the pimple.
- Use ProActiv. ONLY use if your skin is NOT sensitive.
- Drink a lot of water.
Thanks and I hope these tips will help.

Does popping pimples on your nose cause you to get a brain infection?
yes it can cause a brain infection the bacteria from your fingers will go throw the pimple that you squeezed and cause a brain infection so you should pop them.
A dermatologist should look at it to make sure it is not squamous cell skin cancer. Most likely it is just a solar keratoses mark or another benign skin thing.

You'll find the acne treatments in Walgreen's right in the isles, in all shapes and sizes. They have a large variety of acne treatments, but be sure to read the labels. With so many in front of you, it's easy to pick one for the wrong skin type.
Can you take birth control pills if you havent started your period It would be used to treat acne?
You know, you could, but since you're young, I'm not sure a doctor would recommend that because some of the natural levels of hormones you need for growing during puberty might be altered artificially by the pill.
Your doctor would know for sure.
