Avatar m tn ve heard a few people state that they use olive oil as a natural skin softener. What about applying it directly to my face overnight? Is this a safe way to reduce or help with wrinkles?
Avatar m tn It was after her getting on a birth control pill that we just decided to stop utilizing condoms and going all natural. Ive never really gone into her background if she used condoms or not, but always asked her if she was clean and she would go to the Gyno and get the green light of being clean.

My favourite is Jojoba Oil which is high in Vitamin E and suitable for all skin types.
564434 tn?1219978153 I have what someone a long time ago told me was "sandpaper skin" on my upper arms, part of my forearm and a little just above my knees on my thighs. My little sister as well as my son have it on their upper arms too, so obviously this is genetic or something. Mine is worse than my sisters and my sons. I feels like rough dry skin with little bumps.
Avatar f tn Do you mean dirty as in you have a different pigment to your lower torso half? Some discoloration will be natural depending on your skin tone. Are you Mizrahi or Arab?

I would recommend consulting a dermatologist and asking whether it would help and is safe for nether regions.
Avatar m tn i was also wondering if there was such thing as any treatments offered by dermatologists, such as a skin peal that could reveal my origonal lighter skin under the tanned layer of skin.

Avatar f tn Hi, natural treatments can be beneficial to overall health, but basically if your TSH is high you need to take thyroid meds to bring it down. The most common med to take is T4, levothyroxine / thyroxine. His symptoms should improve once he is on meds. Ideally TSH would be in the range of 1 - 2.0. Would be good if they also test his FT3 and FT4. Ideally for most people these are both in the upper half of the reference range.
