Does cocoa give you give you pimples?

Chocolate is not good for pimples. But it's not bad for them either. Eating chocolate is OK in small amounts. But because of it's high sugar and fat content it could contribute obisity and tooth decay. Treat your pimples with medicine, not diet. Like Benzoyl Peroxide based over the counter medicine for mild cases or prescription medicine like Differin or Minocin, etc.. For serious cases see a dermatologist, as he can prescribe 'Acutane' if the other prescriptions don't work first.

What does a cluster of red pimples on your chest that wont pop or go away mean?

It may be a reaction to something, perhaps an irritant in your shirts or a body spray you use, a natural development as you go through puberty, or it may be you aren't cleaning your body as often as you should. In any case, a pharmacist (or doctor if you realy want to go that far) can recommend any number of creams, ointments and medicines to help clear them away.

What is a good diet that can help to reduce acne?

Hey! I know this sounds weird but I have been using green tea to help my acne. I don't like the taste of tea so instead I take a green tea vitemin (from the drug store, although I hear that drinking a lot ofactual green tea works better.). I also use green tea bags, dipped in warm water and rubbed on your face twice a day. I also find it helps to eat a healthy diet high in antioxidants. Good luck!

If you have a sunburn and it peels will you still have the tan you had before?

A "sun burn" is actually your body's allergic response to too much sun exposure. When you have a sun burn, you should drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized with a lotion that does not contain mineral oil, lanolin, or alcohol (and most do, so be sure to check your ingredients!).

Tanning with a sun burn can be very dangerous, and just as ineffective. Melanogenesis is the process in which your body reacts to the sun. During "normal" sun exposure, your skin's melanin production increases as your skin's natural defense against sunburn. Melanocytes produce melanin, which after sun exposure, darkens within about 24-48 hours.

During a sunburn, your skin becomes irritated, and your body sends histamines to the skin's surface creating that ithcing burning sensation (like posion ivy). With excessive exposure, this histamine reaction can trigger blistering because the body sends fluid to the skin to calm the irritation. When the fluid is absorbed into the body and you haven't been well hydrated during the time you were healing, you start to peel.

During this "shedding" process, your skin is new, and hasn't properly developed a defense against sun. Tanning while peeling (whether in the sun or a tanning bed) can cause additional sunburns, blistering, scarring, and even dangerous skin cancers.

Your best bet is to FULLY recover from your burn... avoid UV exposure, stay hydrated, and take care of your skin!

There are lots of great resources for safe tanning. The best advice is to tan smart. Gradually build a tan. Don't be impatient.

Is witch hazel good for eczema?

Yes, Witch Hazel is incredibly good for eczema. I bought a bottle the other day for facial skin toning, and when I read the bottle and saw that it cleansed and toned skin, I thought I'd give it a try on my eczema. The itching subsided almost instantly, and over the last three days my eczema has cleared up excessively. I find that applying it as soon as itching begins stops the itching immediately. Once I found this I looked it up and actually found many sites that say it is useful for eczema. I wish my doctor had reccommended it instead of the many expensive, useless products he did, for it would have saved alot of embarrassment, pain and scarring for many years.

What could be the cause of a hive-like rash on stomach chest and back that doesn't itch?

I went to the doctors for the same thing. Its called pityriasis rosea and the spots are oval shaped pink spots on the trunk that don't go past the neckline and generally are patterened in a Christmas tree fanning fashion. The spots don't hurt and usually are preceded by a herald patch (maybe one or two of these spots) before the full virus erupts. The cause is unknown and is not a fungus or bacteria, it is some sort of virus whose origins are unknown and its not contagious.The spots wil clear as quickly as they appeared within 12 weeks. There is only medication if the spots are causing you discomfort. Otherwise just be patient and wait and one morning youll wake up and they will be gone, mine went that way.

What do you do for bad sunburn with bubbles?

These are called blisters. Don't rip the skin off of them or you will suffer greatly. If the blister is really all that bothersome, take a small needle and poke the side of it and let it drain. But whatever you do, DO NOT. RIP OFF, THE SKIN.

It may fill back up a few times, but it will eventually stop.

Why when a pimple is pressed it leaves a white dot?

Pimples turn white for certain reasons. Usually, when using products it means its working.

In a certain cause they turn white when you have to pop them. First, the oil has stop building up and turned into a secular circle which is common known as a bubble. Next, you need to pop the bubble so it won't get bigger. Last, you pop it and the oil spreads again.

People can get a kind of skin cancer from this. Recently, this only happens with kids. Kids do need to spread with witch hazel so the surface will clear up.

Warning: For certain risks you should not put products on the section because it can build up the bubble.

Psoriasis is hereditary. Therefore, there is a possibility that the child would have it if his/her parents have a history of it.

Back to psoriasis, biopsy and lifestyle information is needed to determine the type of disease.

Lots of things can cause blotches on your face, it can be heat rash, allergies, excema, dermatitis, or just dry skin. If it is all the time, I would recommend seeing a dr or a dermatologist. If it's just sometimes, see if you can remember something similar happening around each time it happens, and then see if you can eliminate it. Or if it's dry skin, just use moisturiser.

Will flucloxacillin relieve a tooth abcess?

This would be an unusual choice of antibiotic for a tooth abcess. That's not to say it won't work, but it's a narrow spectrum antibiotic, that works well against Strep. aureus, but not a whole lot else. I would expect to see cephalosporin (Keflex, Duricef and it's kindred) more commonly prescribed for an abcess.

Can toothpaste get rid of pimples?

Toothpaste on PimplesIt depends. Some toothpastes have more baking soda in it, which will dry out your pimple(s). On the other hand, the toothpastes may break you out, so I wouldn't recommend trying this method.

But it will work if used in small periods. For people who use it over night they most likely find their skin dry and underneath where you can't see it will burn skin tissue. This on the good side with completely abliterate pimples and whiteheads but in turn will damage your skin. It's your risk.

Another SolutionUse a Q-Tip dipped in Rubbing Alchohol, and gently swab it onto the pimple right before you go to bed. By morning, the pimple will be a white-head and you can pop it.

Preventing Pimples Further:

Wash your hair regularly.

Change your pillowcase regularly.

Take regular showers.

If the above methods do not work, do not pick at the pimple unless it is a white-head. If you pick it it will turn redder and look worse.
