What is the origin of acne... where did the disease actually come from?

== == Acne usually comes up in teenage years, however, adults also face this problem.

Acne has a number of causes.

* overproduction of oil in the skin

* build-up of bacteria.

* irritation of hair follicles by loose skin cells.

* heredity factors. * hormonal imbalances in the body (this is why teenagers, females just a couple of days before their periods and women during pregnancy get it).

It is no longer thought to be caused by types of food and over cleaning the skin can aggravate it. A few people are sensitive to sugars found in junk food, and this is the only time when any type of food can affect acne. Boys usually have worse acne than girls because of a hormone. Girls actually have a hormone that can help prevent acne.

Why do people pick fights?

Because they are angry at themselves. I know, I'm one.

And the anger at oneself covers another negative feeling like shame, fear etc.

What can be the cause of knots and a pimple-like rash on the back of a 12-year-old girl's head?

Has her shampoo been changed lately? If it really starts to bother her, take her to the doctor to make sure she does not have head lice. Alot of children catch it by being around other children who have it or they catch it at school, daycare, etc. Good luck:)

I'm 14 and my balls for a lack of a politer word have been itching slightly for 3 years now. Im embarressed to talk to my parents about it what should I do Should I worry about it Is it puberty?

A: It's probably itching cuz you have hair growing there. But you should still let your doctor check it out during your next office visit. ANOTHER ANSWER: A few things to remember- your body is changing and growing. Make sure you wash down there EVERY day. If the itching is persistent and red and rash-like, you could have "jock itch". That's a fungs that grows in your crotch. If it's not too bad, get ahold of a can of "jock-itch " spray at your local drug store. CUREX is one kind and there are others. I know it's VERY embarrassing to bring it up to your parents or your doctor. Follow my suggestions, and if it gets worse, ask a parent to take to the doctor. Doctors have seen EVERYTHING, so don't be embarrassed. Tell your parents you are old enough to go into the doctors office on your own, you are old enough ! Hope this helps you out. Be Tough! <> Hi, I'd add just one thing... the "polite" (or correct anatomical) word for your ballsack is your scrotum and the balls inside it are correctly called your testes or testicles.

How do you get rid of many small raised bumps that look like pimples and do not hurt or itch on your bottom?

Exfoliate, exfoliate and exfoliate some more. One of those scrubby puffs or apricot scrub will do the trick usually. If they are not near any openings you can use rubbing alcohol on them to dry them up.

What is the name for the condition that causes white seed-like lumps just beneath the skin of the scrotum?

Well not knowing your age makes it a little difficult, but there are two distinct possibilities from what I am finding. In young teen males, white lumps/bumps that aren't irritated or hurting can be called 'coronal papillae' and aren't necessarily uncommon. Good hygiene is important, and you may or may not be able to treat them. There seems to be a cause in not cleaning the area good enough as you grow up. Some people seek a form of surgery to remove them, but that is likely a costly choice. Also, it says that they can "fade" over time but usually not go away. The other possibility that comes to mind is genital warts. Those can be inflamed and painful, and you'd definitely need medical intervention. I'm no doctor, so you should probably seek more professional advice! :)

How can you extract music from the PlayStation 1 game Road Rash 3D?

Are fat nodes dangerous?

I am on my 10th year with the same fat node. My Dr refuses to remove it sighting radical surgery as a potential upset to the system. In other words they are best left alone unless it is really annoying you. They are caused by over stressing the area where development of the node occurred. Women for instance will often have fat nodes where a brazier has been too tight. I developed mine from over tightening a back belt too often.

How do you remove cloudy white patches from a polyurethane finish?

Try using a small amount of Rubbing Alcohol. Brush or dab a small amount over the white marks, this may help release the moisture by softening the finish. Always do a test area first.
If the product has cured and will not release the moisture try acetone or nail polish remover in very small amounts to affected area only.
If these don't work get out the Furniture Stripper and start again.
Try and avoid polyurethane!

Can you get rashes from vomiting?

Yes. It isn't a rash though it is from pressure when you throw up. It can appear as small purplish red freckles or groups of them. CPAP mask wearers sometimes get it because the blood cannot flow easily because of the mask pressure so it pools around the eyes. I can't find the proper medical spelling for it but it is pronounced

"pet-TIT-ee-ah". They are akin to broken capillaries. It will pass in a day or so. No worries. It is also a symptom found in a choking or strangulation.

Why would your hands and feet itch so bad you can scarch till they bled?

What is scrotal acne?

Scrotal acne differs from facial acne in severity, how often they come and how long they last. There are only two evidence based and prooven methods that can help you get rid of acne.

1: Daily washing with mild, hypoallergenic, ANTIBIOTICA-FREE soap (can not stress this one enough).

2: Daily treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide. (hereafter BP.) BP is a ceratinolytic (skin opening) antiseptic (not an antibiotic, so resistance is not a problem). Routine cleaning with a BP-gel or cream will rid you of all scrotal acne and facial too. True story, worked for me.

Conciderations: Not acne? Some of the glands may have becom chronic, they are usually very large, bulging, hard and have a red aura. They don't respond to treatment. Theese have to be surgically removed by a doctor. Removing these are routine and the actual removal is usually done in a few minutes. (Again talking from experience, you should have seen mine, it was HUGE.)

Concideration: Hair follicle? There will come a hair out of the zit when it bursts. No worries, just let it be. Don't try to yank it away, leave it there and shave it away with all the rest.

Anti-scarring. We've all seen deep acne scarrs, fairly unappealing. To avoid theese (this also applies to your scrotal acne) take theese steps:

1: Whait them out. Put BP on them, let them dry out and that will be the end of it. No burst -> No scar.

2: If they burst, empty them completely. This stings but you must empty them entirely. Get all the yellow pus out. When all the pus is out it will stop bleading. Now it will only sieve a clear sticky "would-protection-scretion". If it's still bleading, it's not clean.

Rinse wound with a face firendly, parfume free soap, gently.

Rinse with water.

Put some skin friendly tape over the wound to improove healing.

This way your skin should keep looking gorgeouos. Regardless of your skin condition, you're still a great person!

How do you get rid of dark marks on face?

Depending on the type of 'dark mark' the best product you can use at home would be a retinoid.

Make sure to use a prescription because there are many different brands and they can potentially cause severe skin irritation if used incorrectly.

If you want a 'quicker' solution, then a chemical peel can do wonders if the mark is related to sun exposure. Make sure you go to a reputable medical spa or dermatologist. The downside to chemical peels is that your face will took terrible for 7 to 10 days.

Obagi makes an amazing product line specifically for dark marks, freckles etc.
