Can you stop acne caused by birth control by going OFF of birth control pills?
Unfortunately there can be many side effects due to taking birth control pills. These, among others include skin irritation, increased pimples, and/or acne. If these symptoms are as a direct result of the birth control pills, when you stop taking them, the symptoms will indeed clear up. Remember that there are many types of birth control, and that you may just need to switch brands to clear up your skin. In any case, consult your doctor or even your pharmacist to see what other options they may be able to offer. Take care and good luck. Dr.B
YES! It is most likely a boil or cyst that keeps opening if the dog keeps scratching it, but could be cancerous and spread around the body (depending on how aggressive it is). Get it checked out as soon as possible. Any sore or lesion on an animal that is not healing should be brought to a vet's attention asap. My dog has some lumps under his skin that are fatty deposits called lypoma. Sometimes it's cancerous and sometimes they're not. We have them checked out and we have our vet remove them if they are cancerous or impede with movement (like under their armpit or something).

Is this true if you put Tobe past on a pimple will it go away?
I'm not sure what Tobe past is, but putting toothpaste on a pimple will reduce the size and redness of the pimple. Gel toothpaste WILL NOT work, it must be the regular toothpaste.
you can use a headband, or a hat. Both work. there are also a lot of headwear that prevent these things

Round spot on leg with dry skin never goes away. 2 years?
It could be a fungal infection, such a ring worm. I'd get it checked out by a dermatologist.
(It could also be dry skin, I had a similar issue, dr thought it was ringworm, but sent me to dermatolagist before giving me the dangerous medicine. Thank goodness! It was just "round" dry skin. There's a special name for it that I can't remember. Looking it up on the internet, I think it was discoid eczema. I put some special lotion on, worked on keeping the house humidified in the winter and all was better. I've had a lot of regular drs misdiagnose skin conditions--go to a dermatologist!)
