I have mild acne, but i tend to pick on my face. (it's a nervous thing i will try to stop now).i will visit my boyfriend in 3 weeks and I really need to get those scars out. I heard Vitamin E from capsule is really good. has anyone tried it before? or will I get more acne?
Answer:
it won't make it worse but it won't make it better either. Try using a teabag on the new acne scars it has an astringent effect that helps. Also use sunblock so the scars don't get darker!
Vitamin E oil may make you break out, but i put it on scars also.Try tea tree oil and lavender oils. They don't have to be mixed in a base.

Will vaccines eventually replace antibiotics?
Answer:
never
vaccines are meant to provide immunity to certain infectious agents. They work well, but not always completely, and vaccination really only works if EVERYONE gets the vaccine in a given population...and we never have 100% compliance. And even so, it is nearly impossible to prethink every infectious agent and make a vaccine for it. Even when we try, new organisms pop up (Lyme Disease, hantavirus, etc.)
antibiotics (and anti-fungals, anti-virals) are meant to treat infections and keep the infection from getting worse. these are two halves of strategy to keep us healthy. Neither alone is enough and neither will ever replace the other.
No, because viruses are constantly evolving so there's always a backlog between when one arises and when a vaccine can be developed.However, the viruses are also evolving to become resistant to antibiotics, so new ones are having to be developed all the time.edit: whoops, the guy below is right *blush*
"No, because viruses are constantly evolving so there's always a backlog between when one arises and when a vaccine can be developed.However, the viruses are also evolving to become resistant to antibiotics, so new ones are having to be developed all the time."Don't listen to that guy. Antibiotics aren't given for viruses. I think that someday we will have more vaccines for infections than we have now, but I doubt they will totally replace them. Not any time soon anyway.
no, vaccines are meant to provide short term immunity. Vaccines fake out the normal immune system to think that it has gotten the virus to be able to develop some antibodies for a certain virus. I am not saying that vaccines are the way to go. Just look at it, a vaccine is made up mostly of chemical properties that damage other areas of the body, alot of the time it attacks the nervous system, immune system, and the neurological system. Like the chicken pocks vaccine is only effective for a short period of about 5 years. If you get that virus as a child you develop a lifetime immunity to it. If you get the virus as a teenager or an adult when the vaccine has mos likely worn off than it has even worse effects and the fatality rate increases dramatically.
Antibiotics take the place of the immune system and instead of allowing the body to fight an infection the antibiotics go in and kill the infection and unfortunately our bodies immune system over time weakens and falls victim to the same virus over and over again because it does not have the antibodies built up to be able to destroy an infection its self.
Will using baby shampoo help with my acne ?
My friend Leslie uses it to wash her face and I was just wondering if it was a good thing to do
Answer:
some acne is bacteria, so you may need an antibiotic for it
no use rubbing alcohol it will clean up ur face
try alcohol or sea breeze or any clean and clear acne products
nomes...thats ridikulus!
try antibacterial soap..worked for my daughter
No, that's pretty stupid.
No. It won't help at all. You need to use ProActive to get rid of it.
baby shampoo could possibly help with your acne, but I wouldn't think you'd have to put it on your face to do so. Try washing your hair with it. A part of the reason you break out could be the ingredients in your shampoo or conditioner. They can clog your pores if not rinsed thoroughly. As for your face, try using neutrogena's line. it works well for me.
no, thats just a myth
Depends on your own skin, if it irritates it more than stop using it. Try dove sensitive skin soap.
First of all- DONT use alcohol on a regular basis, the people who told you to dont know much. Alcohol dries your skin badly...so thats NOT a good idea.Baby Shampoo wont do anything for you skin, it wont treat anything.Use something like Clearasil Daily Facewash, or Proactive, both work very well.
What it will do is dry your skin out considerably - it's very harsh! See a skin specialist and have a proper assessment and use the correct medications, if any are required that is. Good luck! The more often you leave your skin clean [no make up etc] the better for you, most times. However, check it out with the doc.
u are best of going to see a docter who can prescribe you with something i used to have acne severly about 2 years ago so i went to see me my gp and he gave me a tablet which i took and i have smooth , soft skin (look on the pic) aswell ur better of doing that than using anything else to agrvate your skin nothing looks worse than spots xx
don't think it will clear your acne..this will
raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
heat a qt of water, add 3 tblspns vinegar, make a tent over the pot, cover your head with a towel, steam your face. then dab some vinegar on your skin to clean, do this process 2 more times, then squeeze the blackheads. mix 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar, chilled, dab on face to close pores and tone skin.
as a skin care routine,
raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up." to drink it, put it in honey and water, or apple juice--tastes like cider..cost is 5 dollars a qt at the healthfood store
No. But don't take my word for it. I'm just 13. But the last time I checked baby shampoo is only use for your hair and babies' at that. Maybe you can though. I guess the formula is soft enough to clean your face without making it worse. Is it working for your friend?
Colloidal Silver.
Buy a small bottle with a pump top and spray on your face 2-3 times a day. It is distilled water with 100% pure Silver particles suspended in a positive charge. You can Google it for more info, but I GUARANTEE you will be pleased. You can send me flowers later. Good Luck.

Will this remove acne?
if i used rubbing alcohol on my acne will that get rid of them or make it worse?
Answer:
alchohol will sterilize ANd dry out the zits..its good.so is plenty of sunshine. Ultra violet light is a natural disinfectant and will kill the zit causing germs
dont do that. just buy some clearasil or something.
I wouldnt suggest it, it can help clean the area as in help kill the bacteria however I'm sure your skin wouldn't like it and would likely get red and inflammed. Instead if you have moderate acne try an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash.
i hope your not serious!
it will dry them it and make your skin dry i use rubbing alcohol also on the big pimples lol
peroxide won't hurt you as much
it might clear it up but it will make ur face worse in the future.
I dont recommend it.
Use something prescribed.
No it will dry your skin out severely. Go to a dermatologist-there are SO many effective treatments out there. The dermatologist will tell you which on is right for you. Acne is not something you have to put up with-make an appointment.
rubbing alcohol will clean your face from dirty and oil thats in your pores.
it will make your skin dry [if you use it too much]
so use a moistruizer with it if you decide to use alcohol
Thats probably not a good thing. I would suggest a over the counter cleanser made especially for acne. Use a moisterizer and wear sunscreen every day. If the cleanser doesn't work, I would see a dermatologist. But give the cleanser a month or so to work. I know acne is tough but it will go away. Good luck!
when you remove your blackheads/ acne with some device or your hands and then you use a face wash. After that use a Neutragena Astrigent. That's what I use. But it makes your face dry and skin peel if you wear it too much. Other then that, its the best because it doesnt form blackheads or acne.u are exactly like me if this problem relates to you

Will they give you a vaccination if you have a cold/possibly flu?
i need hep A, and yellow fever, and i have a pretty nasty cold. is it ok to go ahead and get the shots, or do i need to wait till im healthy?
Answer:
As a rule, as long as you are not running a fever, most doctors will still vaccinate you. It's up to them, though to make the call. The Yellow Fever vaccine is a bit rough and can cause a fever on it's own, so they may prefer to defer it until you are healthy again. Call the office and explain to them, they will let you know what their policy is.
From the research I've done (mostly on childhood vaccines though), you can still get a vaccine with a mild cold. I'd call ahead and ask..
docs prefer you healthy. It limits risks associated with vaccinations.
Best to wiat till you are feeling better as the vaccines can give you side effects as well such as fever.

Will they ever find a cure for lupus??
Answer:
Eventually yes. While you're thinking about what a long time "eventually" might be, take heart from this:My 60 year old sister has lived with lupus all her adult life.
Her mother died of it at 19.
Funding for lupus research is in serious jeopardy right now. YOU can help.Go to www.lupus.org%26gt;take action%26gt;email congress and send your representative an email asking them to co-sponsor the lupus REACH amendment.
Will there be cure for psoriasis in the near future?
What are the causes of psoriasis?
Answer:
Gene study is in it's infancy, so I doubt that it will be in the near future, But having it myself as well as some other autoimmune diseases, I always look for hope.
sorry dont know but my sis goes on sun bed and that really helps
It's caused by the immune system going into overdrive and like cancer there could have been a cure years ago but to many people have a vested interest in keeping it going.
I've not heard of a cure being developed. Psoriasis is caused excessive overproduction of skin cells. This causes the plaques and the shedding of skin that can be so distressing.
psoriasis is a chronic skin condition and is caused by an overactive immune system. This causes the skin to replace itself too quickly resulting in skin scales which are sore. It isn't contagious. Sadly, there isn't a cure at the moment. Many things have been tried like laser treatment, sun beds etc the results are usually temporary.
i hope so stress can cause psoriasis i have it but only on my scalp but i did have a few problems a few years ago and got it all over my body pretty bad but it calmed down as my problems got sorted sunbeds help too
I am not aware of any impending cures, however either your GP or if necessary a dermatologist can offer many useful managements.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a cure from the conventional side of things as the researchers just look at removing the symptom %26 not studying the underlying causes - which is usually stress of some kind.
Homoeopathy is what will help you! I've cured many, many cases over the years using homoeopathy. There's no magic remedy - just the remedy that is correct for the person suffering from psoriasis - which is so often stress related. I expect a lot of thumbs down from those ignorant of the real powers of homoeopathy - but they should ask my patients! One of my first patients had suffered with chronic psoriasis for 37 years %26 it virtually ruled his life. After 18 months of Homoeopathy, he was completely clear! It did take a long time because he was absolutely covered in the condition %26 had been treated for decades with suppressive medicines - but we saw improvements from the first remedy. Most cases don't take that long!Certainly no placebo effect when the patient returns 1 month later great improvements in their condition. What is it with some people - particularly those with an axe to grind, who insist on saying that homoeopathy doesn't work. General medicine HATES anything that successfully treats complaints that they say are incurable! I spent 21 years in general medicine %26 left because I knew that there were better ways of treating people - and that way is homoeopathy. Go to http://www.homeopathy-soh.org/ to find a local practitioner who will be able to help.
I am very sorry to hear about your constant discomfort
and torture. I have met and spoke with several people
that deal with the same issues and problems because of
their individual skin problems. I work with a company
that develops and markets non-toxic and non-poisonous
products and are in the business to help people like
yourself. We have one product that is currently being
recommended by dermatologists to help people with
severe skin conditions like Eczema, Psoriasis,
Rosacea, and Diabetes. A world-renowned clinical
laboratory conducted 2 independent, double blind
studies which tested how our skin therapy lotion
stacked up against Eucerin. The studies took place in
harsh winter conditions in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Our product out-performed Eucerin in the areas of
softer skin, smoother skin, moisture improvement,
moisture retention, and continued good skin condition
after use of the product had stopped. In some of
these areas, our lotion outperformed Eucerin by 7
times. This is a remarkable product and has a 100%
money back guarantee. You need this product as it has
helped hundreds of people just like you.
Please let me know if you are ready to make a change
and I will happy to help. Thanks and have a blessed
day.
