I have had bad acne for many years.....I think I first got acne when I was 5 or 6 or 7???....one of those years lol....I'm 15 and I've tried all OCT products, prescriptions, and my doctor reccommended me to go to a dermatologist....they recommended me accutane but when I looked it up there were many side effects so I didn't buy it plus it's expensive....so that means I'm no longer with the dermatologist.

NOW....I've heard that tea tree oil should help. Like will it remove the acne scars and the other type of acne where there is no "white thing" in the middle, instead, just a bump?

I've heard alcohol, but it's cytotoxic, so it'll kill like cells and stuff.....

.....any tips or things I should try out to get rid of them, or at least lessen them and make the scarring disappear???

P.S. Does Proactive remove scarring?.....I'm probably not going with Proactive...to expensive, my parents probably won't pay for it lol

How do you respond to people who act as if you've made it up? I'm allergic to eggs, chicken, and basically anything else that ever came from a bird; I get treated as if I just made it up to get attention and be difficult. My favorite is, "It's not like it's poison." Well, not for *you*, maybe....

A friend of mine, who is lactose-intolerant, has a great one. He says, "It's too bad I have an adult man's digestive system, and not a baby cow's."

So what are your good comebacks? Snide, polite, whatever?

i am sure most of you have experienced the awful shoulder sun burn. especially if you are the red hair fair skin type that always over estimates the power of a little sunscreen. So why is it that someone that should be used to these sunburns, and know every trick in the book asking for help. Well because you see i have been doing really well as far as the whole no burning thing this year. wearing hat, applying spf 50. but just now i kinda slipped.
I have already done the whole aloe vera gel thing, and that works for a little while, but here is the other thing. I have to preform a show on thursday in a tank leotard, and my teacher is going to kill me.
please help me get out of this stingy red mess, and fast.
thank you

My husband has type 2 diabetic and I was wondering what types of restaurants can he go to and he can eat without raising his sugar level up and the rest of the family will not feel guilty because can can't have that type of food. I already told him since he can't eat pizza than I won't. He gets mad at me when I tell him that he says he can eat salad but I feel guilty If I eat pizza in front of him
