Avatar n tn It is not like acne in all over the body parts. It is like red rashes and sometimes in acne coming in abdomen area only.But most of the body area is covered by this red rashes.

Avatar f tn A year or so ago she was getting a lot of pimples. We purchased a regular acne care cleanser and she began using it once a day. It made her skin very dry and flaky, so we switched to a "sensitive skin" acne cleanser. We assumed that the BP in most acne cleansers was just drying her sking too much. She began using the sensitive skin acne cleanser twice a day. She does NOT use a moisturizer. Her skin has begun to dry out again, particularly in the forehead and cheek areas.
Avatar m tn Conventional medical wisdom holds that hormones, not diet, are the main causes for the development of acne, particularly during the teenage years. However, some interesting evidence now suggests a possible link between acne and obesity driven by eating a high-glycemic load diet.
Avatar n tn Is it normal to have breakouts every day? I'm 31 weeks today and I have had acne all over my chest, shoulders arms and lower jaw. Also is there a safe way to treat while pregnant? I'm so aggravated with the itchy skin and scarring left from the old bumps. It's not cute at all.
Avatar m tn I always had very clear skin even during teenage years, but all of a sudden in past year I just started breaking out on my forehead, chin, cheeks...really bad breakouts starting red, some have white heads that pop eventually...first I thought that waxing causes it and stopped, but nothing helps...no systems, nothing....I haven't had any amounts of stress, no real change in diet, I do take birthcontrol pills every couple of months, but break outs started before i started on them...
Avatar f tn I also considered Molluscum, and seeing diagnostic pictures my bumps seem to not go through the three stages except for the first, which is that it looks like teenage acne most like. (But I don't know for sure still, right? Ha.) They are most bothersome to look at than anything. I know you cannot diagnose over the internet, but I would be glad if you'd answer my questions! 1. Am I showing symptoms of an STD? 2. If I am showing symptoms of an STD, which ones should I consider? 3.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 22 years old and have had recurring acne since my early teenage years. Last year I started to develop small scars, specially below the sides of my mouth, that are not were I've had bumps or blackheads, they simply appear on my skin and have been, though slowly, constantly spreading. These scars are somewhat circular, not very deep but visible, and about one tenth of an inch or slightly smaller. I have no idea how to stop them from appearing or to how to treat them.
Avatar f tn i'm 18 weeks pregnant and i'd say for the past month month and a half i've had acne like a teenage girl going through puberty all over again. i never had problems with this when i was younger, why now? and any suggestions on how to help it?
Avatar f tn Hi. Acne is no longer just a teenage problem. Here in the Uk the average age for acne has now risen above 30 for the first time. Avoid using heavy moisturisers as this can add to the problem. The best over the counter remedy for spots is, in my experience, Freederm. However, prescription medications are often much more beneficial. Talk to your doctor to see if oral or topical antibiotics could help you, and also ask about hormonal solutions.
Avatar f tn Always check with your doctor if you have any issues. I can't say it any better. But I wouldn't worry about being in the car or opening the blinds. I personally, and this is just me, if I really loved the sun, would find a different way to deal with my acne assuming you haven't exhausted all other avenues of doing that. When I was young, doctors used to give us tetracycline for acne, which also caused sun sensitivity. Of course, they never told us that.
Avatar f tn When I first took her in, I was concerned because of the large amounts and the very strong odor it causes along with inflammation to the surrounding skin. All urine test came back fine ( urine sample). However she had no reason why the odor was so bad. I even had our well water tested and it was fine. Can you help me in figuring out what going on and where I can lead my daughter doctor in the right direction to solve this problem she is having.
Avatar n tn how can i get rid of dandruff plus sometimes i have acne on my head which don't pain that much but they get red n my hair are oily too what should i do to cope with all these problems?
Avatar m tn Dear all, My girlfriend is stopped with birth control around 5 months ago. We're planning to have a baby. She's having severe acne which started when she stopped taking the pill. Acne on the forehead and the chin, not really in the middle of her face. She's taking zinc and evening primrose oil for about one month now which made not really any difference so far. Has anyone an idea what to do to get it more under control ?
Avatar f tn One possibility is Polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormone imbalance condition that can cause irregular periods, unwanted hair growth and acne during adolescence and teenage. There could also be weight gain or trouble losing weight, patches of dark skin on the back of neck and other areas (called acanthosis nigricans) and mood swings.

Avatar n tn Has anyone ever heard of such symptoms and have any idea of possible causes? Could this possibly be symptomatic of male hormonal changes?

Avatar n tn Hi, I was recently diagnosed with 7 nodules spread on both lobes of thyroid, four of which are solid. Five nodes are on the right side) For several months I have had a pressure/fullness and heaviness on the right side lower back of head area with lymph nodes swollen continually and migraines on right side of head. Am waiting an appointment with an endocrinologist for needle aspiration. I also had teenage radiation for acne which was in the mid 70's.
313193 tn?1194192298 t know, but they are red spots and often contain some white fluid which when popped hurts, unlike acne on the face. I went to my GP and he just looked at them very briefly and said that the spots on my legs are nothing to worry about but they have begun to appear on my thighs and pubic area. i sometimes get a smell coming from the underneath of my penis also and it's worrying me now, i'm only 16 and things like this can become sensitive to a teenage lad.
