Hormonal Acne?

I recently stopped taking the birth control pill because it was making me throw up every morning. Although the acne I had BEFORE I started the pill was not changed initially, now that I have discontinued the pill, my face is breaking out. Is there anything I can do to stop the acne? I use Differin lotion and a topical antibiotic (which have worked very well in the past), I have dry skin and seborrheic dermatitis, and I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide.

Hormonal Acne?
Yes, I used a search engine to find this, but read it before you snap at me. Perhaps you will find this useful.





"There are also several vitamins and herbs that help to stimulate the body to cleanse itself and get rid of the unsightly acne. Vitamin A helps the body reduce the production of sebum. On popular and dangerous, prescription drug, Accutane, is a high dose of vitamin A. The problem with this drug is that it can cause severe birth defects if a woman who is taking it becomes pregnant and it can also lead to depression in teenagers. It is better to take an over-the-counter Vitamin A supplement.





Zinc also helps to prevent acne, as well as heal current breakouts. Zinc helps to regulate the hormonal imbalances that can cause acne. Vitamin B6 is another helpful vitamin, particularly for women suffering from menstrual acne breakouts. The herbs sarsaparilla, yellow dock, cleavers and burdock take together help clear the body of lymph infections and therefore of acne. Tea tree oil can be applied directly to acne spots to help reduce the pain and appearance of the problem."





I also remember a column in Ann Landers maybe 20 years ago that suggested putting raw egg yolk on the face daily (like a mask) for I think it was a month. It was supposed to clear up the acne for good. I never got past a few days, so I don't know how well it works.

How can i clean my pugs wrinkles?

ive talked to my vet alraedy. my 13 week old pug puppy has crustys under some of her wrinkles and in the crease abover her nose. the vet said to wipe them with a warm rag everyday. im doing this but while im sure its keeping the dermatitis from getting worse its not helping solve the current problem. how can i totally clean out the fungus under her wrinkles?

How can i clean my pugs wrinkles?
One article I found suggested using doggy earwash for the wrinkles (which you should probably have for your pug, since cute floppy ears also means dirty ears!)





I would be careful about using harsh chemicals like acne medication on your doggy - your vet may have a product that would be gentler but effective. We used to use an ointment called SWAT on our lambs. It worked well for skin irritation and also had medication in it to keep insects away.
Reply:Iron her lol. Just joking . Try using a Q-tip and baby oil. That will get to the samll spots and the baby oil will clean.
Reply:OIL WILL FESTER.USE COTTON BALLS SOAKED WITH PEROXIDE. NOT IN THE EYES.
Reply:Its a common problem with wrinkled dogs. They are high maint. Even if you find a better way to take care of the problem, it will be like having to feed or brush it. Its just necessary.
Reply:This will be an everyday occurrence, just like with English bulldogs. The "wrinkle" breeds need extra care and attention to their skin. Lots of them require you 'wash' their face everyday.
Reply:Use people acne medication, in cream and skin wipes.
Reply:I have wrinkled neo mastiffs, and I use sensative skin, fragrance free baby wipes. Works great.

consider fungal infection, especially if NOT on the elbow itself. If on the actual skin over the joint, then consider psoriasis.





If you lift at the gym, especially if you use the preacher curl... then I'll bet 10:1 it's a fungus. I see it all the time, two weeks of religious lamisil (over the counter) usually does the trick. Disclaimer: I could easily be wrong, skin disorders are tough. Trying topical lotrimin is probably harmless, but if that doesn't help significantly (the skin may dry first, then get better), then see a dermatologist.

I am having itching in my legs sometimes with rashes.?

Doctor said it was contact dermatitis and prescribed some ointments and tablets. But still no relief. What could this be? any remedies? Will I get itching if I'm having diabetes?

I am having itching in my legs sometimes with rashes.?
I have had these on and off for a couple of years. I was prescribed hydrocortizone cream but was not refilled my prescription. I was also developing rashes under my arms at the same time. I switched my anti-persperant from Degree to the Adidas one without aluminum and surprisingly enough it stopped both rashes after about 2 weeks. I also switched my soap from generic "sport" soap to Ivory, and that may have also helped.
Reply:These itches might be due to dirty colon/ intestine you have, when the meals u intake doesn't balance to what you output at the end of the day.These overloaded faeces in colon will resurface back to your liver and bloodstream, thus u will experience rashes outbreaks.





I will recommend you to detoxify ur colon and take colostrum to boost your immune system.

Red/ Pink spots on stomach?

About 5-6 weeks ago, a handful of small pink/red spots (about the size of a pencil eraser) appeared under my chest. I bought Cortaid (hydrocortisone) and they faded away, but the bottle ran out and they came back. Since then, many more have appeared depsite the use of another hydrocortisone product. There are now about 25 spots total and they are under my chest and around my belly button and waistline, and seem to be turning a darker shade of red each day. They are barely raised off the skin (if at all), there is no itching, no burning, no warts, no pus, I have no other health problems, good hygiene, etc.





I found only one pic online that resembles my "rash"...by searching Yahoo Images for "skin stomach" (the pic of bare-chested man).





My doctor's appointment isn't until 10 days and I'm afraid waiting too long will lead to bigger problems. After 2 weeks of on-line searching, I have tentatively concluded that it is NOT any of the following (pardon spelling):





psoriasis


HIV/AIDS


tinea versicolor


heat rash


sweat rash


dermatitis


eczema


hives


rosacea


angiomas





Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and take care

Red/ Pink spots on stomach?
It's either an allergy or you have huge bedbugs.
Reply:sounds like a doctor would help
Reply:ask a doctor
Reply:Sounds like a food allergy. You should make a list with the food you eat every day and see what's triggering it by elimination. Did you try an antiallergic? Your doctor will prescribe soem tests to establish what is the allergen. You might also have an allergic reaction to some internal parasits, your doctor will figure that out too. Good luck.
Reply:it sounds like the lurgy to me.....trust me
Reply:Sounds like you definately need a doc on this one.
