im 14 and i have these little red bumps on my arms and thighs.
i picked at them like pimples and made them look reallly bad.
some of the bumps r red and some r really dark probably bcuz they are scarred?

I'm going somewhere tonight and my face is just starting to peel.
I didn't know it and I started peeling the skin.
Now I'm left with spots around my nose that are different color then my skin...And I have skin peeling all over my face! I can't go out like this.
Any ideas?
I used Ponds Sensitive Face Cream and it helps for only about 10 mins.

My skin seems to suck up dust and dirt which all starts rubbing off AFTER I've had a shower (which is well annoying because I'd much rather it came off in the shower). I also get little specks of hard white or translucent gunk (of dead skin presumably) which also rub off.

Would exfoliating and moisturizing properly for a certain period along with good diet etc. resolve the skin for good so it doesnt need special attention (like skin on the lower arms)? Natural suggestions particularly welcome...

It's kind of embarrassing, but I have a really bad problem with nail-biting. I can't stop! I've already tried the nailpolish trick; it doesn't work for me. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

tattoos have been around for approx 40 thousand years, yet people seem to think that in 10 years no one will want one anymore.

I've at really thin lips all my life.
But in the last couple of days my mom said that they were becoming fuller.
The only thing I've done was wear lip gloss. The same kind I've had for months.
So do you think that lips change during teen years?
Or do lips stay the same all your life?

Hey people.

I think there must be somthing wrong with me.. I bathe twice a day, I use soap and scrub EVERYWHERE. I use a good deodorant (Fragrance Free Mitchum) and ALWAYS wear clean clothes.

Despite all of this I obviously stink, often people stand further back than neccecary when indoors, Ive heared people saying that I stink (eg. on the bus today, the woman behind me said to her friend "That lad infront stinks") and on some occasions people have auctualy said to my face that I smell.

I cant explain this as I am extremely higeneic as displayed in the first paragraph. Ive tried everything and Im literaly at wits end as to what I can POSSIBLY do. Ive been the doctors and she said it was normal and I should just continue what im already doing. I have cleaned my washing machine and my dryer out to see if its the clothes. Once again, still no luck.

I cant be myself anymore.. Ive lost all self esteem because of this (Started 7-8 monts ago)

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Everywhere i look you have to pay for translations. Any ideas where i can get the translations done for free and have them mean exactly what i want them to mean?

I have tattoos now, and I love them, but they aren't visible with normal clothing. Lately, I have been very tempted to get a verse or something on my inner forearm as a reminder. I am a nurse...if you woke up from surgery and saw someone with a tattoo message on their inner forearm would you be uncomfortable? Would a visible tattoo have ramifications in my professional career?

For anyone with more than one tattoo, please tell me the locations of all of your tattoos and which one was the most painful.

I do realize that pain tolerance is different for everyone, I just want to see if there is a common location that is most hurtful.

i got a tattoo saturday and its scabbing and i havent picked at it at all and ive been keeping it clean and moisturized. ive been using ths A&D still cuz one part is really sore and a little red and puffy so ive been using that to keep it from getting infected..anywhoo theres one part in the middle of the ribbon where the blue seems to be lighter then the rest.is that cuz the rest is still all scabbed over or did the scab fall off (may have gotten scratched by my dog) and pull the ink out? and the black parts of my tattoo are kinda grayish..they arent really black like they were saturday...is it normal for the ink to fade? thanks in advance
