Well if you try to pop it or scratch at it it could get worse. Or if you sweat allot you can get it worse to! So stay out of the sun if you sweat allot. Drink lots of water or eat lots of fruits or veggies to have clear skin or to get blemishes away. Hope it works out.

Proactive interference is a term used in psychology to describe previously memorized items interfering with items one is currently trying to memorize.

Does anybody have redness on their cheeks back area close to ears and really small bumps on their cheeks NO this is not acne or blemishes you can see it like acne but skin is not smooth?

Yes, you should see a dermatologist and you may also have an allergic reaction to the laundry detergent you're washing your sheets in. This happened to my friend's kids -- they all suddenly got the really small bumps on their cheeks and it wasn't acne. Turned out the laundry detergent was being over used --switch to a hypo-allergenic formula (clear no fragrance) see if that helps.

You should check in with a dermatologist. It could be rosacea or another skin condition that can be treated.

Pop a zit?

Don't pop zits! Picking at your skin is never a good thing. Try a product designed to target blemishes. I'm a fan of Bremenn Lab's Emergency Zit Stick. You just apply it to the zit and it helps minimize the redness and swelling on contact. It's a lifesaver, I keep mine in my purse at all times!

What anti bacterial acne wash is good for butt acne?

Try Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash. It is an orange solution that you can find at most drug stores.

If you don't like the results of that product, or you just don't want to use that product, I would try to avoid the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide because it may discolor clothing. Try to find something that contains Salicylic Acid about 2% that should give you the best results.

You also don't need to use something specially formulated for the body, you can also use products made for your face! They usually produce the same outcome.


Another great one especially for the skin www.discoverlr.com under "Micro Silver".

If you are 15-years-old and have a lot of pimples which your friends do not have why do only you have those ugly looking pimples?

I would Say besides washing your face and things. Try making sure your bedding is clean. I know at 15 I was on the phone all the time...Clean your phone. Oils and dirt can collect on these things causing you to have more pimples. I still use lysol wipes on my phone and I am now 25. Try your Doctor as well if it is not just a puberty thing they will know, there are creams, face washes...Everything! Just because you have pimples doesn't mean you have to live with them.

Just wash your face at least 3 times a day.

Does kissing cause lip pimples my girlfriend always gets painful pimples on her lips every time we kiss on the mouth.Her doctor told her it may have come from the stomach why is she getting them?

Those may possibly be cold sores. I get those around my lip areas too and afterwards, they cause a burning sensation around my mouth area. Kissing has a high chance that you'll end up receiving that Cold Sore, but the virus may stay dormant within your body for a long time. Sounds like she might have herpes of the mouth...highly contageous...don't kiss her when she has them!!!!!

Why is there a Hard lump on the septum?

There are many reasons for a hard lump on the septum. It can be cyst, tumor, or other cause. Only a physician can determine the cause.

Which is perfect treatment on pimples?

first of all: don't press them unless it has a white dot, but once you start to get obsesed with it and press them too much, then you get more horrible marks. If there is no white dot, don't touch it and try to always keep that area clean, what works for me is alcohol, but for some people their skin starts to get too dry, so they have to put a lot of creams, that can cause even more pimples. If now you only have the marks of pimples you can put some cream that you put on your skin when it gets irritated and leave it for an hour. At the beg. there won't be no change, and they can look worse, but after some weeks, it gets better, but don't put it daily, because it can also irritate your skin. and try to be away from the sun, because it makes those marks pemanent.
