What could cause a out break of dandruff in the scalp?
A dry scalp, use shampoo & conditioner that moisturize the scalp, head & shoulders & other dandruff shampoo just dry out your scalp making it even more flakier. I use tresemme shampoo * conditioner and they work very good. Also, the exact cause of dandruff is not pin-pointed, but genetics has a large role in it. Poor hygiene does not have a role, contrary to a common misconception. People who comb or brush their hair less often do not shed their scalp of dead skin therefore causing a dandruff buildup. Dry skin and stress are also factors.

Why do your hands start to itch after using hot water?
This has something to do with your germs and stuff on your hands. I suggest that you use Germ-X, and if that doesn't work, after you dip your hands in hot water, dip them in cold water. That always works for me.
Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin. Anti fungal antibiotics will be required to cure the infection.
Is there any way to make a huge and thick scab heal faster after you picked a zit?
Neosporin. :) It's also really handy for getting stubborn zits to come out. Just put a glob on there and let it sit for a few minutes and generally it's ready to come out. Make sure you get the cream, not the ointment though. Fast healing isn't always good as it can cause scarring.
No...usually fruits are very healthy and good for your skin its the greasy food you have to worry about. It doesnt necesarely cause acne it just makes a big difference to how you feel or how your skin looks visibly unheathier. But no bluberries dont cause acne

Dandruff is an hair problem which is known to be caused by a fungal infection. Dead skin cells accumulate to form thick white scales, on the scalp and shed randomly. Itchy and dry, the scaly dead skin is unsightly and embarrassing. Apart from using harsh chemical based shampoos, you can try using some effective natural remedies that work better and give you freedom for constant itching and scaling. Natural products give best results and cause no damage the hair cuticles. Dandruff is aggravated by exposure to sun, using chemical treatments on the hair and excessive dryness. If you can manage to keep your hair clean and nourished, dandruff can be eliminated. There are many basic remedies that you can take to keep your hair dandruff free. A warm coconut oil head massage can do wonders. Apart from making your hair lustrous and shiny, the optimized oil levels keep the scalp nourished while the vigorous massage aids better blood circulation, exfoliates the scalp of dead skin build up. A teaspoon of fresh lime juice in the last hair rinse combined with a light weight conditioner can also be effective to treat dandruff. Furthermore, this adds much needed luster to the hair as well. In addition, an individual needs to keep off from strong teas or coffee, pickles, as well as refined and processed foods.
Can sunburn cause dehydration?
I am not to sure, but I would think it would. I mean, have you ever had dry mouth after and an ice cubes melts on your skin? I am not expert though..lol
Can perm chemicals cause hair loss?
no, chemicals in perming solutions will only change the structure of the hair, although if over processed (left on to long), it will cause the hair to break. Having said that you can suffer hair loss if the roller is wound too tight.
Rub on some aloe gel, or just wait it out. But by far, the best treatment for sunburn is prevention.
Everybody knows that a sunburn hurts for a few days, and will be followed up by peeling. But the damage done to your skin is much, much worse than that. Always use sunscreen and avoid getting burned if at all possible.
How do you get your zits to go away overnight?
the most common way get rid zits over night that i have always used is after your shower put a couple drops of canola oil in any problem spots
put toothpase on it it really works my aunt and i do it all the time and it even makes it look less red!
It is pretty hard to get rid of a pimple completely over night but there is a way that will help you get rid of it in a day or two, the answer is tee tree oil, tee tree oil is a substance that drys things quickly, so clean the surface of your skin that you want to treat with a wet flannel and apply tee tree oil to the pimple wait for about 30 seconds until it's dry, do this two to three times a day and you will be flawless. oh and also avoid touching your face as you do not know what your fingers have touched and they often could have fat or grease on them. hope that I helped
you can go 2 the doctor and get some cream, or put tons of toothpaste on them. toothpaste REALLY helps, so put almost the whole bottle on.
SOURCE: my parents are doctors :)
Shampoo
This is very hard to do:
You can also reduce the size but it will take at least three days for the average person to rid of a spot.
I recommend:
-using white toothpaste, apply it directly on the spot, this will dry out the spot.
-tie your hair up and dont let anything touch near the spot, it will aggravate it even more.
-washing your face day and night, making sure your face is clean.
-any reducing spot creams you may have, use it before going to sleep, do not overuse it.
I dont recommend:
-touching it...!!!
-using facials, as facials usually draw out your spot.
-using anything perfumed.
Until it is healed just put concealer over it, no-one will notice:
make sure it's a good brand, quality makeup will not aggravate the spot as much therefore the spot will heal quicker, hope this helped.
Despite what many people recommend popping it is always the best short-term solution. Think about; if you have a huge pimple is keeping all the pus in it really going to help it. By popping it you are getting rid of the pus, therefore making it smaller and much less red.
I have also found that, interestingly, if you put toothpaste on your pimple and put a band-aid on it and leave it overnight then it is practically gone by the morning!
.
Carbonated water and large amounts of caffeine is the best possible way to remove blemishes and pimples in a fast amount of time. Large amounts of carbonated water can be found in soda pops, preferably root beer and ginger ale. For a quick way to remove blemishes is to rub the soda against blemished areas, apply napkin to spot, rub area for around eleven minutes. Within a few hours the spot will quickly fade. I know this to be true because of my love of soda pop and acne cure.
Alternative answer
You could always try hot water, not too hot to burn yourself, but put hot water on the pimple and most times the pimple will break in a none.
Apple vinegar or lemon juice will accelerate the break of the pimple. After it breaks you can rub hydrogen peroxide.
ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE ANSWER:
You hold a ice cube on the pimple until it get so cold and sore you can not take it no more, and then after 5 minutes or so it will pop and you squeeze all the puss out and then you will be left with a hardly noticeable hole where the pimple was.
put tooth paste on your face and leave it on over night
OR
Try puting sunscrean on and rub it in well and when ever you have the time to put it on do it!! :)
The more you put it on the faster it works. it works for a while and dies off. Mine worked overnight
- Wash your face to clean your face. This is to clean your face from dirt and reduce the oil in the face before do the next step.
- Apply toothpaste before bed and wash in the morning. Make sure the paste is not gel and don't wash until next morning.
- In the morning, wash your face and see pimples have disappeared. I only use toothpaste and it worked. But in the magazine that I read says if unsuccessful can try replacing the toothpaste with fresh lemon juice or lavender oil. This is because every human skin is different.
You can't cure them overnight. If you have a serious problem with them, you should see a Dermatologist.
There is no known "overnight cure" for acne as of now. However, there is a product that is constantly raved about for curing acne pimples extremely fast. Visit the Mario Badescu website and search for the "Drying Lotion." It is a bit pricey but well-worth it for an almost "overnight" cure.
Yes. Here are some of the remedies that you may try:
1. Apply egg white on face like a mask, let it dry before washing with warm water.
2. Apply toothpaste on the affected area, leave it on overnight then wash it off in the morning.
3. Make a paste out of orange peel then apply over your pimples.
4. Apply rose water on the affected area for twice or thrice a day.
There is no way to get rid of it overnight. You need to wash your face and use a cream on it to moisturize it. I have found Neosporin helps with acne and will clear it fast. If you haven't been cleaning it every night you need to start because acne is caused by dirt and oils in your skin the clog the pores.
Try putting a dab of clay (for clay mask) on some of your spots. They might not disappear over night but if you continue using it you will see a difference.
Well I treat my acne using a routine! It doesn't get rid of them in a day, but it clears them up and keeps them at bay! It will reduce their unsightly look in a day!
Routine 1 (Morning):
-Wash face using a pore cleanser/ spot treatment, ie. Clearasel
-Then lightly apply healing cream on spots, ie. Sudacream (This will kill bacteria) Making sure to rub it in!
-Apply a good moisturiser (non-oily) eg. E45, Vaseline.
Routine 2 (Night):
-Wash face again
-Pop any white/ black heads ensuring all excrements are removed
-Apply healing cream on spots! (if broken-out apply like face mask)
Continue this routine daily and drink plenty of water, this will reduce breakouts immediately.
It might be eczema. You might need to contact a physician or get a little skin lotion specifically designed for eczema, but just in case, visit the web site below to see if that's it. http://www.medical-library.org/journals/mddx/pruritus/1_eczema.htm

although vitamin defieciency is not the main contributing factor to acne, defieciencies of vitamins a,b,c, chromium and zinc can contribute to acne and poor skin condition. I have also read that vitamin e and d can both help fight acne as well.
Individuals with psoriasis may experience significant physical discomfort and some disability. Itching and pain can interfere with basic functions, such as self-care, walking, and sleep. Plaques on hands and feet can prevent individuals from working at certain occupations, playing some sports, and caring for family members or a home. The frequency of medical care is costly and can interfere with an employment or school schedule. People with moderate to severe psoriasis may feel self-conscious about their appearance and have a poor self-image that stems from fear of public rejection and psychosexual concerns. Psychological distress can lead to significant depression and social isolation.
