Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Q. Does anyone know how good this cream (Mederma Skin Care) works before i buy some for myself??

Thanks!!

Answer
Yes, it does work but you need to use it for quite a long time! My son split his forehead open in a football game which required a plastic surgeon to put everything back together. (Of course it was right in the center of his forehead),

She recommended Mederma but cautioned that it might take up to a year to work on the rather significant scar he had. It is now 3 years later and there is just a very thin light line. You would never know that the entire center of his forehead was split open that required hundreds of stitches, inside and out!

It isn't a quick solution but in the long run it is an effective one.

Good luck!

African American Skin, care. What can I use to tone and clear up my skin?

I have been going to dermatologist for six years and tried all of the products anyone can name. I went to my herbalist and he gave me something that will help me but its going to take a while. What can I use SPECIFICALLY FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN SKIN that will also be useful!?

Answer
Caring & treating skin, is not different being Afri-Amer. You'd do the same if you have Asian or white skin.
Sometimes just the oil on your face from make up and lotions, even from your hair can travel to your face causing acne to come out. Others, from stress, hormones & diet or foods.
The less products you use, the better for your skin and less product poisoning. Some skin and hair care products can cause acne. To help prevent and control acne flare-ups, take good care of your skin. For example, use a mild soap or cleanser to gently wash your face twice a day. Choose ânon-comedogenicâ make-up and hair care products. This means that they don't close up the pores. I use a bath wash like Suave, Irish Spring, Dove (for ex.) Bath & Body wash when I take a shower, with a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.

The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.

Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around.

The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!

Google: FIVE FOODS TO EAT FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
All the vitamins & minerals you need for good skin care comes from all the healthy foods you eat from Mother Nature.

Google Elizabeth Taylor when she's younger. She had THE best skin. Anyone can achieve that, even in their olden years, if they know how to care and protect their skin. Then you won't be needing so many products by the time you're in your 50's. Now Google Liz now that she's in her 80's. I've met many seniors at the center when I do volunteer work, in their 90's (mom for example) who've taken GOOD care of their skin, and they don't even look half that good as Liz.

I have very very bad acnes and I need to get rid of them. :(
I searched for skin care clinic but there's a bunch of them. I have no idea which one to go.
Any recommendations?

Also any suggestions to make my skin better? :'(
I've tried Proactive but it didn't work... My skin was horribly dry and red+swollen+painful...

Now I'm 21, thought this is the time my skin gets better from those adolescent skin problems, but getting worse in reality...

Thank you!

I go to the vancouver skin care centre. It is a really good place. I had horrible acne and a forehead rash and when we moved to vancouver I went there and now i am acne free! It got a lot better in about two months, but took a year to clear up completely. I say stp using proactive and those, and see a dermetologist. They will give you what you really need for your skin.

What can I do about the scar from my corticosteroid injection?

Last summer, I had a terrible case of poison ivy. I went to a prompt care center for treatment whereupon the doctor gave me a corticosteroid shot in the buttocks. Now, I have a depression in the skin about the size of a quarter in diameter and approximately 1/2" deep. My internet research tells me it is "subcutaneous atrophy." It is making me feel very self-conscious when I am with my husband. Is there anything I can do about it? I read something about saline injections clearing it up, but I'm not sure if that applies to this situation. Is it something that will go away with time? Any advice from doctors or others with this experience is appreciated.

Answer
If you're really worried go see a plastic surgeon. perhaps colloid injections might help.

If you have been to the ER or an Urgent Care center for an ankle sprain or other similar injury, what was the final bill with the doctor fees, x-rays, emergency room charges, braces, crutches, etc?

I have heard of some pretty ridiculous charges from the ER, and I am wondering how outrageous the costs really are.

Patients also often ask me this question and I am wondering what people's experience is with the bills they receive from the emergency room. What was your TOTAL Emergency Room bill?

Thanks!

Answer
How about some stitches?

ER, total bill before insurance $1500ish
Urgent care- TOTAL for office visit, stitches, prescription, tetanus shot. $65.

We try to avoid the ER like the plague. In the first case, we were just grossed out because he had an avulsed flap of skin that kept waving around in the breeze. Sadly, the Urgent Care place was closed.
