What are the causes of pimples?

You get pimples as a stage in puberty. If you're an adult and you're getting pimples it's because your face is dirty. To get rid of them as someone going through puberty you should wash your face, same for adults. DON'T WASTE MONEY AND GET PROACTIVE!!!!!! all you need is facial cleansers.

Pimples are also caused by a build-up of oil on the face. Don't overwash your face, though! Washing your face too much actually stimulates the oil glands in your skin, causing more oil to come out. I personally believe that some people naturally get pimples more easily than others. My advice: wash your face properly, twice a day, and just wait out puberty.

What are different types of acne?

There are different ways to classify acne, so the different types of acne can mean different things.

If you want to classify the actual acne that appears on skin, there are three categories:

  1. Blackheads, also called open comedones. These are your basic clogged pores, and they look like black spots on your face. The black color comes from the oil that has dried in the pore, and dead skin cells that never left the pore and created the clog in the first place.
  2. Whiteheads, also called pimples or closed comedones. This is what most people mean when they say they have a zit. Instead of just clogging a pore, dead skin has clogged a pore and gotten trapped under the skin.
  3. Cystic acne. These are red bumps that are oil trapped farther under the surface of the skin than whiteheads.

Another way to classify acne type is by its cause. Some examples are;

  • hormonal acne is brought on by changing hormones
  • stress-related acne is inflamed when a person is stressed.

What is the most probable cause of small hard sometimes painful acne like bumps on the neck behind the ear lobes and around the hairline?

I used to have these too, along with black heads/cysts at the base of the earlobes, behind the ear. I quit drinking milk, quit eating anything with sugar in it, and most of this stuff has cleared up. One time I had to have a steroid shot to clear up a hard pimply like bump on the back of my head. If it weren't for the pain, it would have felt like a tumor growing.

Most likely it is due to a allergic reaction to a shampoo, other hair product, soap, etc. It's possible the shampoo or soap is not being completely rinsed out also. Using only hypo-allegenic products may help allieviate symptoms.

Can you wash a north face?

Yes. Close all zippers and Velcro, and wash separately from other stuff if you can. Cold water, gentle cycle, powder detergant. Dry low to medium, or air dry (whatever the care tag says).

If its a down jacket, do an extra rinse cycle to make sure all soap residue is rinsed out of the feathers. Tumble dry by itself for about 25-30 min on medium, then switch to low and continue to dry until its back to its original "puffiness" (could take multiple cycles).

Don't dry clean. Don't use bleach. Don't use laundromat dryers, because they run hotter and can melt synthetic material.

Does smoking mint cigarettes cause lower sperm productivity?

Yes.

Smoking tobacco causes lower sperm counts - whether the cigarettes are mint or not.

Some research suggests that exposure to a variety of toxic substances, including those in cigarettes, can damage sperm and/or lower sperm count. Sperm imperfections and mishaps are to be expected, given the sheer volume of sperm in one ejaculate. However, it seems that they occur at a higher rate in men who have been exposed to certain toxins, drugs, alcohol, and radiation.
