What is the difference between a pimple and skin cancer you had skin cancer and everytime you get a pimple you ger scared you regularly see a dermatologist and was there just last month?

A pimple, or blemish, is a pore that got clogged up by either bacteria, oil, or dirt that caused inflammation of the tissue. It will go away. Skin cancer is when the cells of your skin mulitply out of control, mostly by sun damange, and create a mole-like pigmentation that continues to change and never go away. The only way to care for any type of skin cancer is by surgically removing it. Look up under a search engine, "The A,B,C,D's of Malenoma" for the most severe case of skin cancer and just a general search for basal cell carcinoma which is the least severe case of skin cancer. Ask me anytime by sending me a message too - I am a survivor of malenoma.

Does biotin can cause acne or cystic acne?

I have read that biotin in doses upward of 2500 mcg daily can cause acne, and my own personal experience backs that up. I started taking biotin 5000 mcg daily around the end of August 2010 thinking it would make my hair stronger, and by the first of October my skin progressed from being extremely oily to breaking out in deep cysts. Now that I have figured out that the biotin was likely behind it, I have stopped taking it as of yesterday. I wonder how long it will take to get better...I had some acne before I started the biotin, but nowhere near as bad as it is now. I now understand that my diet more than supplies my biotin requirement, and I sure wish I hadn't started taking the supplements. Hope this helps :)

What is and what could have caused a bump next to your nipple that resembles a pimple or mosquito bite if you are not pregnant?

I dont know what it is-but ive got it too....doc told me it was nothing to worry about-but he didnt really know either

you said it resembles a pimple? that could be exactly what it is... a clogged pore. It doesn't necessarily have to be sore like a pimple. When I was pregnant, I noticed a bump on one of my breasts practically on the side of my nipple. My gyno told me it was either a pimple or a clogged milk duct. Turned out it was just a clogged pore.

If you are very concerned about it or if it really bothers you, see you doctor to put your mind at ease.

I asked my doctor about my nipples too. The bumps on your nipples are your glands. They are similar to the pores on your face and you can get a pimple there (it's very painful). When the bumps appear at other times, like when your nipples get cold, it is nothing to worry about, it is just like goosebumps anywhere else on your body. The skin is just puckering up because it is trying to stay warm.

I also have areas on my nipple that are white spots that look like a different kind of tissue. My doctor said it is just that, different kind of skin and nothing to worry about. Everyone's nipples are different. Unless you notice a lump in your breast or the bump lasts for more than a few days you shouldn't need to go see a doctor.

How can you get rid of a small pimple that's right above your lip without using any unnatural products?

You can use a drop of tea tree oil ( its all natural). It helps stop the growth of any bacteria. Be sure not to use *too* much, because it will dry out the skin some. Also, to reduce the swelling of the pimple area, do ice treatments (hold ice wrapped in foil with a paper towel wrapped around it) and apply the ice for about ten minutes. Hope it helps! It has been working for me!
