Answer 1

too much information for me, LOL :-)

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Answer 3

I use AcneFree by University Medical and I can honestly say it's a miracle worker. I used to have TERRIBLE acne, (I have oily skin) and within the first 3 days I started to see a difference. I've been using it for about 3-4 years now, and my skin was very temperamental but this has been the only product that has consistently kept my skin clear. It's got 3 steps and comes with an overnight spot treatment cream that truly works wonders. It ranges from $20-30, depending on if you get the regular or severe system. You can buy it at CVS, Target, WalMart, etc. Biore strips are great for blackheads too! If you have oily skin, keep your hands off your face as much as possible, if you use make-up, try oil free foundations, and wash your face daily! Moisturizing also helps. Hope this helped a little! :) Good luck!

Answer 4

Differential diagnosis is impossible without seeing the lesion.

It could be a cyst, a boil. or a pre-cancer lesion, likely malign at this stage.

A 5 minute visit to the emergency room of any hospital will instantly put your mind at rest.

I doublt if we members in Answers could more than suggest
that action for you.

Hope your experience won't be too painful. Good luck.

Answer 5

Put a hot towel on it as hot as you can stand it. If it is a pimple it will come to a head. If it don't go see a doctor.

Answer 6

Have it checked if it worsens as a possible cyst, which we talked about here, last week. My cyst on my side made me sick and I had to go to hosp to have lanced. They kept me overnight.Oh, don't squeeze or break it open if you thinks its a cyst.

Answer 7

If it's purple it may be an infected hair follicle or a sweat gland that is clogged.

Answer 8

It could be a number of things. If its purple, its most likely a boil.

Answer 9

Go see a doctor!!! It may be a type of cancer or tumor! Act quick!

Answer 10

Is this maybe a boil? I wish you had finished your question. I am left hanging.

Answer 11

What is the question in full? I can only only see half of it?
