I had two zits in the middle of my forehead, until i popped them. Now it's just flat and red, it's not a lump anymore. I could tell that the redness is inside, but I don't know how to get rid of them. I really want to try to get rid of some of the redness by Monday. Is this possible? If not, what are some ways that will help to get rid of the scars in a couple weeks?

I have suffered from severe psoriasis for years. Tried all the over the counter cremes, ointments, lotions, shampoos as well as many prescriptions from dermatologist and my GP. Last week I developed a severe infection in my right ear from the psoriasis getting inside my ear canal and causing the ear to swell shut. My regular GP could not see me so I was "passed along" to a new doctor in the office. This doctor prescribed antibiotic ear drops but said the swelling would have to go down before I could put the drops in, so she prescribed a 6 day pack of oral steroids, Prednizone, to reduce the swelling. With in hours of taking the first dose I noticed the swelling reducing and was able to start the drops. The next day I thought maybe I was imagining things but it seemed that my psoriasis on my elbows, stomach, back ears and scalp was better. I am now on day 5 of the 6 day pack and the psoriasis is 75 % better. I read the insert for the pack, this drug is used for severe psoriasis.

I feel like they will never go away. He is checking me for Lupus because I have Thombocytopienia and Hashimoto disorder is there any one out there with these problems too?

I was wondering if anyone has gotten cryotherapy (cryo for extremely cold) and how painful it was. If so, did the surrounding tissues inadvertently get burned as well? I had read that sometimes the healthy tissue nearby to the area being treated can get damaged as well. Thanks!

how do you use it? you know, the acne wash? do you still have to use your daily soap first then rinse then use neutrogena? or skip the daily soap and just use neutrogena all over your body?

thanx!
