What causes pimples on breasts?
If you have pimples on your face or other parts of your body, it is probably the same cause, but if you only have pimples on your breasts, then it is probably because there is too much inpure oil on that area, or you use clothes that cause even the smallest portion of oil to be absorbed and captured by your skin.
In addition, make sure you keep your bras clean. You shouldn't wear a bra for over 3 days.
How do you get rid of dry skin around a pimple?
(I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT TRY AND READ IT!) Right heres the thing, if you really want good advice read this. I know I've been there, my skin is just a mess right now! Its dry, it hurts, its covered in acne and I feel a mess. Why is it like this, simple: Over drying acne treatments and home remedies, oh yea and to much fatty, oily food. I've had this obsession with home remedies for the past few months and I swear I'm kidding myself I'm getting good results. My family have noticed slight wrinkles under my eyes (I'm 15) and my face is really chapped (the cold doesn't help). Do not not not ever use home made face masks, or really any if you can help it. They are seriously tempting but please don't! They over dry and heck does it trash your skin, I have no idea where to turn but these are the only natural ways for dry acne prone skin: 1. exercise, this helps circulate blood which repairs skin around the body. Don't go over the top though. 2. Drink water, this is debatable but honestly, 6-8 glasses of water a day nourishes skin. 3. avoid hot or cold water, luke warm opens the pores and soothes skin. 4. MOISTURIZE I honestly can't preach about this enough, some people say it clogs up but honestly theres nothing better than moisturized skin (try some oils in there aswell, research it up if you like). 5. Apples, and oh god to they work. Do not ever do fasting! I've tried this and the second you begin eating normally it reacts really badly, don't believe what people say about this, your skin may look good but it hurts so you'll be in pain after it! 6. never stop eating foods and feeling guilty, stuff like chocolate, or chips. There good, you know don't cut them out completely cause you'll end up like me, feeling bad for eating a small block of chocolate. :/ 7. finally cut stress out of life and sleep more, this helps. I really hope these work for you, honestly though please note what I've said, things out there are really tempting but its all down to your body and genetics.
There can be more than one cause. You should get a diagnose from a doctor to be sure.
Most common cause is a skin condition known as vitiligo. It is a very common in the U.S, and about 1% of people have it. Most likely cause of vitiligo is an autoimmune problem where your body attacks melanocytes which produce pigment. It is also suspected to be related to stress or sunrays. Vitiligo is not lethal in any way. The white patches could cover a person's body anywhere. It is physically pain-free. Extensive pigment loss can be very hard mentally.
There are a few things that might help the recovery, such as eating healthy. An enzyme, serrapeptase, might also help. There are some ultraviolet treatments and medicines, but they are mostly experimental.
Most important thing is to use sunblock in the areas without pigment. You can also add tan loation to hide the white areas from people.
Can you take augmentin if allergic to penicillin?

Can a 4 year old get facial acne?
Well, I guess it's possible. Most likely not. You don't start getting acne when you're 4, you start getting when you are growing your breasts and your first ever period starts! But not all girls get acne. And some guys get acne because they eat TOO MUCH junkfood a day!
Whats the fastest way to get rid of a pimple?
It takes time for a pimple to heal but some over-the-counter products can help. Resist the urge to pick at your skin, it will make the breakout worse.
Washing your face twice a day with an oil-free gentle cleanser can help prevent breakouts. Treating your skin with an acne treatment can stop breakouts but it may take a few days. Most major over-the-counter acne treatments feature one of two ingredients: benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If you are a woman, use an oil-free concealer to hide blemishes.
If breakouts continue, see a dermatologist about prescription medicines (topical and oral).
How do you get rid of pimples without cream or popping them?
Most acne is caused by repressed anger. Try punching a punching bag agressively, hammering nails into a piece of wood, chopping logs, or anything that involves hitting or kicking with your hands or feet, even hitting golf balls.

There are several conditions that could cause a rash on the back of the thigh. It could be eczema, folliculitis, psoriasis, measles, chicken pox, fungal infection, allergies, medication reaction, scabies, insect bite, or another cause. It is best to have it checked out by a physician to find the exact cause.
How do you get rid of acne on upper lip?
I would say go see a doctor, cause you don't know what kind of rash it might be. Only ask the experts on that the Doctors we can't see the rash. It might be something that might need some kind of special ointment. Who knows. mostly if get rash on your lips just keep putting vesaline after every 3 hours you will see it going little by little and don't lick your lips because the rash will not heal faster I have recently had a rash on my lips it was very iritating, to help the rash go down, every night befor you go to bed aplly chapstick to your lips and i do not recomend using vaseline because it makes it worse.
How does toothpaste help your pimples?
What it does is it dries out your pimple(s) and kills the pathogens in the puss! [Because toothpaste contains a substace that gets rid of pimples (acne)]
Tips/Warnings:
Make sure its the paste kind not the gel kind. And make sure its white, the other leading brands don't have that substance that help you acne.
How do you cure acnes and pimples?
I have found though experience that acne has so so many causes, to name a few:
-STRESS!!!
-Genetics
-Nutrition/Diet
-Exercise
-Dry Skin
-Chemical In the water
-Picking, touching of the face, resting your forehead on something
-Dehydration
Depending on age sometimes in your teens it can be a lot worse as you body is going though changes and maturing.
I have found that it takes extreme measures,
First get a routine going, don't over wash your face that can dry it out, wash your face no more than twice per day. Depending on where you live get a shower filter for the water, there is all kind of chemicals and garbage in the water nowadays, I notice in the winter when our town puts more junk in my skin gets worse. I use dove soap with 1/4 moisturizer and then use some natural oil free lotion with vitamin E.
Eat a balanced diet, become a nutrition freak, if something hasn't been on the earth for 10,000 years don't eat it, they put so many preservatives, chemicals and garbage in food nowadays.
I drink green tea for its antioxidants; there are lots of antioxidants so some research. Free radicals can build up from stress of all sorts and take over your system just like a disease.
Start getting physically active, it relives stress and so much more. Devoting a small amount of time in the gym, or your home gym, can make a world of difference to your overall health. Find a good quality routine, there are lots out there, just be careful of what magazines you look in. I even know of a guy who is giving away a free routine for short amount of time.
Don't roast yourself next summer or you will have bad skin all winter. Although exposure to sun can make your acne get better at first it has negative long-term effects, use lots of sunscreen.
Be careful what products or systems you use to wash or treat. Lots can over dry, think back years and years ago before they had a whole section of medicated acne washes and creams, was acne way worse back then? Look at a national geographic video of tribes people, they don't have modern medicated acne face wash and treatment systems, let alone a really good soap, do they all suffer from acne?? They must know something we don't or be doing something different. Hmmm maybe it's the food or modern day stress or what our society has become or believes.
Eat as natural as possible, clean and healthy.
Also with products I use, if I wouldn't feel safe eating it then I try not to put it on my skin, whatever goes on the skin absorbs into your system.
The first main cause is STRESS, working at eliminating stress is a habit that takes time, and stress is really a matter of perception, work on perceiving situation differently. Also do the fitness thing, spend time doing cardio, lifting weights, etc.
The main thing that causes it for me is focusing on it, its best to just forget you have it. You get what you focus on, the laws of attraction. Instead of focusing on it all the time and thinking " I have bad acne and I don't like the way it looks on me and I wish it would disappear", stop looking at it in the mirror, pretend it isn't even there, don't give it a second of your time. Although this sounds really lame, but believe me it's very powerful, every night before you go to bed and first thing in the morning imagine yourself having perfect skin, what you would look like and how you would feel. Just get a routine going, drink lots of water (not straight tap water!! use a filter and check with your local supply to see what chemicals they put in it and if the filter will work, even if you get bottled water some companies get the water from the local source :-( and declair it "spring water").
There is a lot of info, but this is enough to cure anyone, its mainly stress and chemicals in garbage food and water nowadays, have to go, don't think about it as complicated, just do all you can and then start perceiving yourself differently, not as some who has acne, but someone who doesn't have time for acne.
Can flaxseed help eczema and psoriasis?
I have very bad psoriasis, and I am about to go on the shot you take 4 times a year. But last week I went to a hair show and found this Hemp seed oil moisturizer and I wanted to see if it could help. I bought it and used it and over night it helped. I am amazed the stuff my doctor gives me didnt work as well as the hemp seed.
You should go to your doctor to make sure that it is not ringworm that has spread. They see these things all the time so don't feel weird going to your doctor. The only way that you can get rid of ringworm is with a medicated cream or a pill. Good luck:) answer 2: you probably should see a dr if its been that long. however, if you can't ge to one right away, try rubbing apple cider vinegar with water 1:1 ratio and see if it helps. or if you have colloidal silver, that helps the healing of it also.
What does a discoid rash look like?
Rather than describe the various ways discoid lupus presents, see related link.
I have the same thing. I got shingles right after Easter and 3 weeks later suffer from periods of nausea and loss of appitite. I take phenagren and it helps quite a lot. If it gets too bad i go to the doctor for a shot. Helps right away and usually lasts into the next day. I've lost 8 pounds . Crazy and not a fun way to lose weight.
Can augmentin be used for tooth abcess?
Augmentin can provide a minimal amount of temporary relief for a tooth abscess, but ultimately an abscess will require oral surgery. See your dentist as soon as possible to get treatment.
Possibly hives or contact dermatitis, but you need to look into this further with the dermatologist. Perhaps you could take a photo and bring it in so that he can see what it looks like even if you are not currently presenting with it.
Can magnesium supplements cause itching?
I've never heard of that. Where is the itching? I suppose it's possible that the magnesium product you're taking has some inactive ingredients that might be causing the itch.
I haven't experienced any negative side affects from mine. Maybe you should try a different brand if the itching started the same time or shortly after you started taking them.
