Skin Conditions - November 2006

Okay so I started out with 10mg, and i took that for 30 days. And today my derm gave me 40mg. Is that a big difference from 10mg? My acne isnt severe and the 10mg seemed to help. Like my face was very verrry oily and now its not at all, but i still get breakouts, probably daily.
I didnt have any side effects except for dry skin and lips. And my derm told me that my face will get dry even more and so will my lips. so i'm a little scared now.
any advice on how to prevent it at least a little bit.

I'm a 20 year old female, btw. and have been dealing with acne since i was 14.

I've had them there since I was like 10. I've tried scrubs and those annoying blackhead patch things you put on your face with water and when it dries you take it off.
*sighs* is there a cure?

After having my son (6 years old now) I was left with a lovely parting gift....stretchmarks... on my inner & outter thighs, and above my buttocks. I find them repulsive. Now I know it could be worse, blah blah blah....but I this is bad enough for me. Does anybody know any remedies that actually work? I've heard Coco butter?

I have done research and have came down to two medications for wart removal. The Dr. Scholls dual action remover and the Compound W wart remover. The wart is located on arm. Any suggestions as to which one is more effective and really works to removing the wart?

I tried Salicyc acid washes, Clearicil, etc... even those acne scrubs, but nothing has helped at all. Any advice???? Seems like since I had kids my skin is so different! Thanks!

hi,

I used to have lovely skin until a year ago when I suffered from stress and that is when I developed acne.

I am been so down and about it and I have tried antibiotics and that hasnt worked, creams and potions from the doc's and they havent worked. I have even tried NLite laser treatment, which says that it works 99% on all patients, and that hasnt worked much!

I am now on Dianette and hoping that this will help, waiting for it to kick in. I have red marks where some of my spots used to be, they look like scars but they arent, has anyone had this before?

I am even tried microdermabrasion, but it hasnt improved anything. Surely there has to be something that works and how do i get rid of these red marks??

Thanks - sorry to go on but it is really getting my down.

I've had some pretty bad cuts on my legs and they left some pretty visible scars on my legs. It leaves a darker tone than my skin and I was wondering how I could have them gone without using any make-up or tanning spray. Basically, is there any lotion or oil out there that I can use to help heal my skin's color and texture and restore my natural skin pigment over the scars?

Thanks in advance everyone! =]

my fiance thinks i might have a cold sore but im not sure. its on my mouth in the corner. and this is i think the second time ive gotten on in the past few weeks. its always when im at my mother in laws house and my allergies are bothering me and my lips are really chapped, and i have a habit of picking the dead skin off my lips. is it true cold sores are std's? i've only been with the same guy for the past couple years. could it have anything to do with being on birth control...like a side effect or something conteracting with other meds? what can i do to stop this? whatever it is?
