How do pimples happen?

Eliminating pimples has been the goal of acne treatment. Acne is pustular eruptions, localized abscessed formation and local inflammatory conditions of the dermis and epidermis skin layers. Endogenous hormones (mainly androgens), which are present in unusually high concentrations in the blood during adolescence and puberty give rise to an excessive production of sebum (or oil). The condition may worsen by a simultaneous increase in the rate of keratin in the skin's outer layer that causes skin cell death. As the outer layer cells proliferate, they can form an occlusive plug or comedone which coupled with the increased production of the sebum, represents an ideal medium for the proliferation of the skin resident anaerobic bacterium, P. acnes . Plugged follicles may take the form of either whiteheads, where the plug in the follicle remains beneath the skin's surface, or blackheads, where the plug in the follicle extends to the skin's surface and becomes visible. In the majority of these clogged follicles, the bacterium P. acnes will cause swelling, itching, and redness around the follicle. The bacterium P. acnes is normally present in all skin types as part of the skin's sebum maintenance system. In a hair follicle, P. acnes produces enzymes that break down sebum creating a balance of oil in the skin. However, a clogged follicle creates an ideal environment for this sebum-eating skin bacterium to multiply. Consequently, the increase of P. acnes and its enzymes irritates and inflames the skin resulting in acne. Furthermore, P. acnes is responsible for at least 90% of all acne cases. There are many myths about what causes pimples. Stress does not cause acne, and neither does eating greasy foods. Another common myth is that dirty skin causes pimples, but studies have shown that blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt. There are many over-the-counter and precription acne medications. Experts recommend different ones for different people, but none have been totally effective in a large portion of the population.

Most of them!

try looking up

Syphilis, Gomorrah & Chlamydia on wikipedia & read the symptoms.. IF you have had unprotected sex and are having symptoms, STOP having sex till you get this cleared up, There are drugs for this.

GET tested & most county health organizations will get you tested & help with treatment if you cant afford it..
Gonorrhea and chlamydia can both cause a discharge but itching is not a symptom of either. Scabies can cause itching but discharge is not a symptom of scabies.

It is possible that the symptoms are not related to each other - that they have two different causes. Regardless, the only way to make sure is to be examined by a doctor or the health department.

Is Psoriasis dominant or recessive?

I don't really know but i can tell you this fact: my grandma has psoriasis, my grandpa didn't have psoriasis...none of their children had psoriasis but I (a grandchild) have psoriasis and I'm the only grandchild who inherited it...so, i suppose it is recessive.

I believe that if both parents have psoriasis then it's a 50/50 probability for their child to have psoriasis... I read in a newspaper that in a small village more than 50% of the people have psoriasis - that's because they married between them, person suffering from psor with person suffering from psor.

What dandruff shampoos actually work?

Shampoos use a combination of ingredients to control dandruff. Salicylic acid (used in Sebulex) removes dead skin cells from the scalp and decrease the rate at which these cells are created. Zinc pyrithione (introduced by Revlon in ZP11 shampoo, now used in Head & Shoulders) kills pityrospora, a fungus. Selenium sulfide (used in Selsun Blue) achieves the results of both salicylic acid and zinc pyrithione. Ketoconazole, and anti-fungal agent, is also used in some preparations, and test have shown it to be the most effective one. It is found in anti-fungal versions of Head and Shoulders, and Selsun Blue. Simply increasing usage with normal shampooing will remove flakes. However, elimination of the fungus results in dramatic improvement. Regular shampooing with an anti-fungal product can reduce recurrence.

Why people had a sunburn?

Well, You can get sunburns because the sun is very hot and you know how it evaporates water? Well, if you stay out in it too long with areas of your skin showing, it evaporates some of the water on it and dries it out which makes it turn red because your skin is raw and irritated because there is no or little water supplied there. Hope that helped you. Gigglybeth :)

How do you reduce swelling of sebaceous cyst?

I have had a few huge cyst and even an operation to take one away but now I have another huge one on my forehead and the bitch is swollen as hell I put warm compress on it for hours and it helps but it still stays a little swollen and it. Swells up again during the day and I repeat this non stop

answ2. The older treatment used to be excision. They are full of surplus sebum - skin oil, and the gland is faulty, or blocked.

There are some modern drugs that reduce the production of sebum, but over the whole body. And don't deal with the blocked gland.

How do you remove pimples with fruit?

No fruits will prevent pimples, but they are healthy to eat. To prevent pimples wash your face once a day and put a cream on it if it feels dry. There are plenty of the over the counter facial creams on the market for all skin types. I have found a good brand called BOOTS at Target that I really like. You may like it too.

Your vaginal lips are getting really dark and itchy what should you do?

This may sound a bit too simple, nevertheless... Many women are allergic to certain types of underwear material and colors (or rather the dye that is used for color). The best type of underwear is plain white cotton, My apology to Victoria Secret, but facts are facts. There is also the possibility that you are allergic to the type of laundry detergent or fabric softner that you are using. Lanacane or other types of OTC cortizone ointment will help.

You may be experiencing drynes in the area which will cause itching. And it also depends on the type of underwear you wear. Cotton is always best because it's breathable. If you shave you pubic hair, this may be another reason for itching because of the hair trying to grow back.

You might by allergic for the soap powder you are using in your washing machine, try neutral soap powder, or Lux soap flakes, see what happens then. Good luck

All of the above are good answers. I would try them. If they do not work and you do not shave I would try shaving off the hair in the affected area. I did this and it itched for two weeks and then that went away and I have never had an itch again, really. Weird, but it worked for me.

the itchyness could be an std as well. dont be fooled because it might be allergies. it is better to get it checked than to find out later on when it gets worse.

Do bangs cause acne?

It depends on a lot of factors such as hair and skin type, washing routines, and shampoo type.
