Hi! Im 14 and Im really insecure about my acne. Ive struggled with it since I was 11. My parents just dont have the time to take me to the doctor, so Im trying to go by myself. I have NO IDEA how to go about doing this. Do I call the hospital to make an appointment? Or do I call my family doctor? What do I do ounce Im there? Should I bring anything with me? Will they send me to a dermatologist? How do they know what Im coming to the doctor for? Will I have to pay anything? LOL!!! See... No clue. Ive only been to the doctor ounce when I was little. And I live in Canada if thats any help. Thanks!
Answer
I am a 27 year old female who has suffered with all sorts of acne since i too was young. Over the Course of the last 15 years, i have been prescribed everything under the sun from dermatologists to help clear my acne. Let me start with the oral medications: Accutane(3 courses), minocycline, doxycycline, every kind of "cycline" and oral antibiotic, steroids, hormone blockers, and birth control. Topically, Duac, Diffiren, Retin-A, Benzoyl Peroxide, and the list continues. NOTHING EVER WORKED.
BUT i eventually did find something that eased and has mostly corrected my damaged, acne ridden skin, and it has been mostly all natural.
1. Don't over cleanse. Easier said than done, especially when you have a break out, we tend to go crazy on our skin thinking it will help. It doesn't.
2. Use a Toner. *Very important* Witch Hazel, has been a blessing to my skin. You can buy it at walmart for cheap. Just smooth it on with a cotton ball, Let dry.
3. Moisturize. *Also Very Important* This might sound crazy to some, vaseline. Contrary to popular belief, vaseline is dubbed as non-comedigenic, and it creates a barrier between your skin and the environment. It holds moisture in, and helps aid in the healing process. If you are weary of vaseline, try eucerin, also non-comedigenic.
4. Exercise. It's not fun, but increasing your circulation helps a ton and sweating helps open and clean those pores.
5. Of course, Water. You hear it from everyone, and again, this is easier said then done. I also mix a bit of apple cider vinegar with my water, which i have found helps alot.
6. HONEY and Baking Soda mask/ Spot treatment. Twice a week has worked best for me, but it has helped my skin enormously.
7. Don't Pick. Once again, easier said then done. Your hands are full of bacteria, and popping zits releases more bacteria, creating more acne.
8. A tiny bit of lemon juice goes a long way on post-acne marks. Better then any drugstore Scar lighteners.
9. Everyone pushes Benzoyl Peroxide like it is some miracle, but take it from me, overtime IT WILL DESTROY YOUR SKIN.
This is just what i have found works for me. I am not saying you shouldn't go see a dermatologist, but i wish someone would have shared the benefits of all the natural healing that can be done for your skin that is right in your kitchen pantry.
I know how depressing having acne can be, it's embarrassing, you don't want to leave the house, and lastly look in the mirror. It bothers me when people say "you notice it more than anyone else, don't worry about it". But it's not everyone else you care about, its how you feel about yourself and the confidence you lose. I feel you sister, please give it a thought, or if you have any of these products, just give it a whirl, see if it works for you!
Do alittle research of the benefits of Honey, Baking Soda, Apple Cider Vinegar, Witch Hazel, Vaseline and Lemon Juice. I think you will be shocked on people results!
Good Luck...

I am scared to talk to girls, what can I do?
a-team
Im just scared of them and im scared of rejection. I dont have any friends. Male or female. I always create imaginary friends. I am 27 years old and never had my first kiss.
Answer
It's a skill like any other. Imagine learning to ride a bike..you fall off and skin your knee..whatever...it hurts.... you keep doing it..pretty soon you and pop wheelies and do the no hands thing and what not.
Sounds silly but really it's no different. Every time you get rejected it gets a little easier (lol) until you're just all over the place makin friends and enemies and getting some action and rejection. Just do it dude.. who cares. I'm retarded, half the crap I say is bs or wrong when I talk to girls... if they call me on it I laugh and talk to a different one. I have the worst conversational skills ever (I could never talk as coherently as I'm typing here) but as long as you come across confident it doesnt really matter.

28yr old Female With Skin Issues!!!!!?
Labels:
skin care 27 year old female
Pas
I am a 28yrs old and I have had troubled skin pretty much since puberty. I still have acne type issues and it drives me nuts because I'm almost 30! I'm wondering if I will always have congested skin or if maybe one day (God knows when) my skin will finally clear up. I have oily skin but when I use oil/acne skin care products they just dry my face out which also makes me break out. I don't wear foundation or powder but I do use concealer when needed to spot treat. I do all that I can to keep my face clean but nothing works. I have worked in the spa and salon industry for years so I know a thing or two about skin care but nothing works. I don't have pimples all the time but my face is completely congested with white heads and black heads. A week before my period I do have trouble with pimples and I do get cystic acne type zits most of the time.
I am just wondering if anyone has any type of advise as to whether or not I should just finally accept that I will always have bad skin or if there is anything I am doing or not doing that will make it all go away. Advise? Answers please?
Answer
I had acne since I was 13 and when I was 27 i found out about Accutane (Isotretinoin) pills. You need a prescription for it. I took them for about a year and it has dramatically cleared up my face. I would get bad acne every time I ate peanuts pistachios sun flower seeds etc and now I can eat those things. I would be broken out all the time but especially bad when I ate those types of foods. If you are afraid of the side effects and want a good topical then get a prescription for Benzaclin (Clindamycin/Benzoyl Peroxide) - 1-5% Gel. I've tried everything, these are the 2 best most effective. I've taken all types of antibiotics, and only Accutane worked . Also make sure you take 50mg of zinc per day, that really helps too.

peanut
i need help with acne. i cant get rid of it. how can i get rid of it. i have used plenty of RX and OTC nothing works.
Answer
Have you tried antibiotic therapy? Acne is caused by the staph bacteria so it often needs antibiotic therapy to get it under control. Also since you are 27 you need to remember that your skin care should be changing to adult products and not use teen products on your skin. See your doc and try some long term antibiotic therapy to help get the bacteria under control.

"Lars and the Real Girl", anyone seen it?

I thought this would be the most absurd movie, but I loved it. I laughed, I cried,,,,, I found myself wishing that I lived in such a caring community as Lars. Any other opinions about the movie? Loved it/hated it?
Answer
Thumbs up.
I agree with you. A very strange premise, and it does occasionally veer off the path, but it works often enough to make its point. Ryan Gosling is *great*. Ultimately, the fact that I'm still not certain if the town was supposed to be expressing "Christian charity" or simply "playing along" is a good thing. Anyway, very definitely worth an evening, particularly if you are one of those who complains about the lack of "positive, uplifting" stories. Even the hardest cynic will find something to smile at.
The tomatometer 80% is perhaps slightly high, but only slightly. It might be right on the nose too.
Here's a review that I agree with.

'Lars' is full of real heart
By JANE STEVENSON - Sun Media
It would be easy to dismiss the new indie comedy-drama, Lars And The Real Girl, as nothing more than quirky provocation.
The seemingly outrageous film is about a lonely, smalltown social misfit (London, Ont.'s own Ryan Gosling) whose new girlfriend turns out to be a silicone sex doll he bought off the Internet.
The movie's real conceit is that Lars' family -- his brother Gus (Paul Schneider), his pregnant sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer), and the entire town (including shrink Patricia Clarkson) go along for the absurd ride and accept Lars' delusional galpal -- who he's named Bianca -- as one of their own.
In the wheelchair that Lars buys for her, Bianca is taken to parties and Sunday church, has her hair cut, and even runs for the school board and volunteers at the hospital.
In real life, the 27-year-old Lars, who lives in his brother's garage and is afraid to be touched, would likely be dismissed as the town loon.
But in director Craig Gillespie's second feature film, the clever, ultimately moving script -- penned by Six Feet Under's Nancy Oliver -- overall delicate, sweet tone, and uniformly fine performances lift the movie above what could have been a creepy premise.
Ultimately, it's about unconditional love and kindness.
It helps that there is no sexual component to the Lars-Bianca relationship, with the church-going Lars insisting that the equally religious Bianca, a half-Brazilian-half-Danish orphan raised by nuns to be a missionary -- yes, she has an incredible back story -- stay with his brother and sister-in-law in their spare bedroom.
It is Karin who actually sneaks a peek at Bianca's "anatomically correct" private parts one night and snickers at the fact with her girlfriends.
Still, sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry, given Lars is definitely suffering from mental illness.
As Karin and Gus clumsily attempt to wash Bianca in the tub one night, she says: "It's hilarious," to which Gus responds, "Is it?"
Gosling, an Oscar-nominee who knows how to play everything from misguided monster (The Believer) to love-lorn soldier (The Notebook) to well-intentioned junkie (Half-Nelson), is the perfect guy to inhabit the sweater-and-tie-wearing skin of the emotionally wounded Lars.
A blinking, shy sweetheart of a man-boy, his pain and heartbreak is palatable onscreen, whether he's insisting his sister-in-law cover up with a handknit blanket made by his late mother or awkwardly trying to bowl with a female co-worker Margo (Kelli Garner), who clearly has a crush on him.
Even his interaction with Bianca is thoroughly human. There's one vulnerable scene in particular where they are alone in the woods and he sings L O V E in a high-pitched voice from atop a tree house that has to been seen to be thoroughly appreciated.
Also eminently watchable are Schneider as Gus, who blames Lars' problems on himself for leaving his younger brother alone with his grief-stricken father, Mortimer as the warm and welcoming Karin, Clarkson as the understanding and patient psychologist and Canadian actress Nancy Wright as the kind and elderly Mrs. Gruner.
Various Northern Ontario towns in winter also substitute nicely for the stark American Midwest, and the film gets an added bit of edgy coolness from its soundtrack, which includes the Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads, and thrift-store costumes.
(This film is rated PG)

I can't get anywhere with my Doctor and I'm really frustrated, please help! (sorry its long)?
Gracie
For about 3 years now I have been having increased health issues and I'm not getting anywhere with any doctor really, I have switched PCP's 2 times already. So this is the story:
I am a 27 year old female and I am always tired, cold, I have no appetite, and I am ALWAYS thirsty. I drink lots of water and have cut out soda and coffee (not easy when all you want to do is sleep) . My memory I'm pretty sure is shot, my husband is always telling me about how I've forgotten something or reminding me things. I even show up places at the wrong time because I forget what time I'm suppose to show up. I have to write everything down or I WILL forget it. I can't wear my contacts anymore because my eyes are too dry and its painful to wear them. When I was younger I always had heavy periods and they would last up to 2 months at a time, they finally made me get an IUD to try and prevent me from getting them.
Over the past 3 years I have basically gained myself in weight, and I started out thin at about 160 pounds and now I am just under 300, when I try to workout it doesn't take long until I get to that anaerobic point where my muscles feel that they have been pushed to their limit. My doctor thinks I am depressed and has put me on antidepressants for 3 years now, I am currently on 4 different kinds (yes all at once) and I still feel like crap, I have lost my life. I can't go hiking with my dogs, back pack camping with my husband is out of the question. I can no longer play softball. I'm sick of this and I just want my life back before I hit 30. I want kids too, but with how I only want to sleep I don't see how I could take care of kids.
My husband is always trying to get me to eat meals with him, but I am hardly ever hungry and my doctor just doesn't see this as a problem because I'm so heavy now. I'm also losing my eyebrows, my finger nails are constantly breaking and chipping, and my skin is so dry and painful. I have never had acne as bad as I do right now. I have it all over my body. I love my husband but I have no desire to be intimate with him anymore.
We are expecting cold weather here soon and I'm dreading it because its 60 degrees F here today and I'm freezing, I have my winter clothes on already. I used to ski and do cold weather stuff all the time and now I can't even imagine being outside when it is below 50 because I just shake. I have been checked for diabetes and I have no signs of that, or any other issues based off labs. My Uric acid was high and my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal. I have no idea what to say to my doctor anymore to get them to listen, if you know anything it could be, or any words of advice, please let me know! Thanks!
I was just checked for diabetes last week and get checked regularly for both diabetes and thyroid due to family history. Diabetes labs have always been normal. My thyroid lab is the only one that keeps changing and the number keeps heading towards the Hypo side, which concerns me because my husband and I have discussed children, but obviously thyroid disease may prevent that and being exhausted all the time would make that very difficult.
Thank you July, I should have mentioned before (but I forgot to put it in there) I have seen an endocrinologist and I got nowhere with her either. Another thing is that my fingers are swelling so much so that I actually had a rather difficult and painful time getting my wedding band off and I can't get it back on. I honestly feel stuck and I don't know what to do...Thank you all!
Answer
"my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal." Dont count on it!!!!
READ CAREFULLY:
You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ânormâ should be .3 â 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimotoâs Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)â¦main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.
YES, YOU MAY NEED TO GET ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!! Not at all uncommon when it comes to thyroid (altho it is epidemic now).

I am bored with my life why is it so hard for a good girl to find a good man?
lilangel
I am a 28 year attractive old female from Louisiana, I have a job take care of myself, keep myself up, so why is it so hard to find a man. I have my own car, my own, money, my own place to stay. I have everything in life that I want and need except a man. I think that there is a shortage of men and that some men just dont want a good woman. I am african american(BLACK), but I am not racist. I just want to know what seems to be the problems with men. No dumb answers serious inquires. What is happening to the men in america, where are the good men.
Answer
Believe me you are not the only one that thinks so. I am 27 and live in SOUTH AFRICA and it seems all the good men are either taken or just simply not available. Its a world problem not only in america. My advice to myself and you is to not worry about it and im sure that somewhere there is decent, honest and respecful men that are looking for good women.
You will find your ideal match and if you do not dont despair as one must be comfortable in your own skin and dont be afraid to be alone if you dont find what you are looking for!!!!
Do not settle for second best!!!! Goodluck and dont worry too much....

Ultimately, it's about unconditional love and kindness.
It helps that there is no sexual component to the Lars-Bianca relationship, with the church-going Lars insisting that the equally religious Bianca, a half-Brazilian-half-Danish orphan raised by nuns to be a missionary -- yes, she has an incredible back story -- stay with his brother and sister-in-law in their spare bedroom.
It is Karin who actually sneaks a peek at Bianca's "anatomically correct" private parts one night and snickers at the fact with her girlfriends.
Still, sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry, given Lars is definitely suffering from mental illness.
As Karin and Gus clumsily attempt to wash Bianca in the tub one night, she says: "It's hilarious," to which Gus responds, "Is it?"
Gosling, an Oscar-nominee who knows how to play everything from misguided monster (The Believer) to love-lorn soldier (The Notebook) to well-intentioned junkie (Half-Nelson), is the perfect guy to inhabit the sweater-and-tie-wearing skin of the emotionally wounded Lars.
A blinking, shy sweetheart of a man-boy, his pain and heartbreak is palatable onscreen, whether he's insisting his sister-in-law cover up with a handknit blanket made by his late mother or awkwardly trying to bowl with a female co-worker Margo (Kelli Garner), who clearly has a crush on him.
Even his interaction with Bianca is thoroughly human. There's one vulnerable scene in particular where they are alone in the woods and he sings L O V E in a high-pitched voice from atop a tree house that has to been seen to be thoroughly appreciated.
Also eminently watchable are Schneider as Gus, who blames Lars' problems on himself for leaving his younger brother alone with his grief-stricken father, Mortimer as the warm and welcoming Karin, Clarkson as the understanding and patient psychologist and Canadian actress Nancy Wright as the kind and elderly Mrs. Gruner.
Various Northern Ontario towns in winter also substitute nicely for the stark American Midwest, and the film gets an added bit of edgy coolness from its soundtrack, which includes the Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads, and thrift-store costumes.
(This film is rated PG)

Thumbs up.
I agree with you. A very strange premise, and it does occasionally veer off the path, but it works often enough to make its point. Ryan Gosling is *great*. Ultimately, the fact that I'm still not certain if the town was supposed to be expressing "Christian charity" or simply "playing along" is a good thing. Anyway, very definitely worth an evening, particularly if you are one of those who complains about the lack of "positive, uplifting" stories. Even the hardest cynic will find something to smile at.
The tomatometer 80% is perhaps slightly high, but only slightly. It might be right on the nose too.
Here's a review that I agree with.

'Lars' is full of real heart
By JANE STEVENSON - Sun Media
It would be easy to dismiss the new indie comedy-drama, Lars And The Real Girl, as nothing more than quirky provocation.
The seemingly outrageous film is about a lonely, smalltown social misfit (London, Ont.'s own Ryan Gosling) whose new girlfriend turns out to be a silicone sex doll he bought off the Internet.
The movie's real conceit is that Lars' family -- his brother Gus (Paul Schneider), his pregnant sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer), and the entire town (including shrink Patricia Clarkson) go along for the absurd ride and accept Lars' delusional galpal -- who he's named Bianca -- as one of their own.
In the wheelchair that Lars buys for her, Bianca is taken to parties and Sunday church, has her hair cut, and even runs for the school board and volunteers at the hospital.
In real life, the 27-year-old Lars, who lives in his brother's garage and is afraid to be touched, would likely be dismissed as the town loon.

I can't get anywhere with my Doctor and I'm really frustrated, please help! (sorry its long)?
Gracie
For about 3 years now I have been having increased health issues and I'm not getting anywhere with any doctor really, I have switched PCP's 2 times already. So this is the story:
I am a 27 year old female and I am always tired, cold, I have no appetite, and I am ALWAYS thirsty. I drink lots of water and have cut out soda and coffee (not easy when all you want to do is sleep) . My memory I'm pretty sure is shot, my husband is always telling me about how I've forgotten something or reminding me things. I even show up places at the wrong time because I forget what time I'm suppose to show up. I have to write everything down or I WILL forget it. I can't wear my contacts anymore because my eyes are too dry and its painful to wear them. When I was younger I always had heavy periods and they would last up to 2 months at a time, they finally made me get an IUD to try and prevent me from getting them.
Over the past 3 years I have basically gained myself in weight, and I started out thin at about 160 pounds and now I am just under 300, when I try to workout it doesn't take long until I get to that anaerobic point where my muscles feel that they have been pushed to their limit. My doctor thinks I am depressed and has put me on antidepressants for 3 years now, I am currently on 4 different kinds (yes all at once) and I still feel like crap, I have lost my life. I can't go hiking with my dogs, back pack camping with my husband is out of the question. I can no longer play softball. I'm sick of this and I just want my life back before I hit 30. I want kids too, but with how I only want to sleep I don't see how I could take care of kids.
My husband is always trying to get me to eat meals with him, but I am hardly ever hungry and my doctor just doesn't see this as a problem because I'm so heavy now. I'm also losing my eyebrows, my finger nails are constantly breaking and chipping, and my skin is so dry and painful. I have never had acne as bad as I do right now. I have it all over my body. I love my husband but I have no desire to be intimate with him anymore.
We are expecting cold weather here soon and I'm dreading it because its 60 degrees F here today and I'm freezing, I have my winter clothes on already. I used to ski and do cold weather stuff all the time and now I can't even imagine being outside when it is below 50 because I just shake. I have been checked for diabetes and I have no signs of that, or any other issues based off labs. My Uric acid was high and my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal. I have no idea what to say to my doctor anymore to get them to listen, if you know anything it could be, or any words of advice, please let me know! Thanks!
I was just checked for diabetes last week and get checked regularly for both diabetes and thyroid due to family history. Diabetes labs have always been normal. My thyroid lab is the only one that keeps changing and the number keeps heading towards the Hypo side, which concerns me because my husband and I have discussed children, but obviously thyroid disease may prevent that and being exhausted all the time would make that very difficult.
Thank you July, I should have mentioned before (but I forgot to put it in there) I have seen an endocrinologist and I got nowhere with her either. Another thing is that my fingers are swelling so much so that I actually had a rather difficult and painful time getting my wedding band off and I can't get it back on. I honestly feel stuck and I don't know what to do...Thank you all!
Answer
"my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal." Dont count on it!!!!
READ CAREFULLY:
You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ânormâ should be .3 â 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimotoâs Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)â¦main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.
YES, YOU MAY NEED TO GET ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!! Not at all uncommon when it comes to thyroid (altho it is epidemic now).
