skin question

I was complaining to my doc about fine lines, crow's feet/smiles lines, and the beginnings of those "marionette" lines (nasolabial fold area) and was inquiring about botox or a filler. He told me I wasn't ready for that yet and instead prescribed Retin A gel. He said faithful use of this, starting judiciously and then increasing, would provide visible reduction in about 8-12 weeks. I've heard that Retin A (even the microgel) can be really harsh on the skin ...

Well, we're all pretty much feeling the economic squeeze and I'very decided I need to find a more economical line of skin care products (I have sensitive skin and have been using Cetaphil cleanser with creme de la mer toner and the creme de la mer moisturizing cream for ages). I don't know if its because my skin is just supersensitive or so used to these high-end toners and moisturizers that they just go haywire when I try something new and more economic. I'd bee ...

For some reason my feet and hands have all the sudden become very dry, to the point of peeling and cracking. My right foot is the worst and hurts. I've tried every cream I can think of and have been drinking more water. Any suggestions? It looks so nasty. ...

I've never had this before, but on my forehead and spreading to a small part of my cheek, near my mouth and on one side of my nose I've developed seborrheic keratosis. My PCP told me to use a very mild cleanser and hydrocortisone cream x3 daily, but it really doesn't seem to be helping much. The spots get warm to the touch and itchy and are really getting more and more difficult to cover when I have to go out. Has anyone else had this and found something a bit more he ...

First I've heard of this, but I'm not surprised: http://www.newsmax.com/SciTech/fluorescent-bulbs-skin-cancer/2012/07/21/id/446116 ...

Mine is "fact of the matter". It was one my mother in law said constantly while complaining about something. Always following the phrase would be an opinion, not a fact. What are your pet peeves? ...

Have a skin tag located on my neck. It was red and inflammed looking for the last couple of weeks. This a.m. it has turned white and is just hanging on by a thin thread. Collar of my shirt(s) keep rubbing against it. Friend told me to pull it off. I don't think I can do that. Put a band-aid over it. Hesitant to pull it off as I am a diabetic. Don't have an extra money to go to a doctor. Anybody else have tihs experi ...

Well, I had my surgery on New Year's Eve, and came away with an 8 cm incision wrapping around my dorsal forearm. I got the pathology back and it was a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, 3 x 3.5 cm, all margins clear. Right now looking at the incision it's hard to imagine that he's correct when he says it will eventually be just a very thin white line. It looks like someone tried to cut my arm off. I have to go back every three months for a recheck ...

I have hypothyroidism, but not taking any medications. Part of my problem is my face and skin. Under my eyes is always flaky (like psoriasis) and I've got pimples that are breaking out all over my face, but they are not like the pimples of my youth (without getting gross about how I used to get rid of them), now when I try to pop them nothing happens and they get bigger and redder and they hurt. The skin on my face is normal but my forehead is normal to oily and the areas ...

If any of you have problems with brittle hair and dry skin, try a shower filter. The water in your shower is filled with chemicals, minerals, and the same or more amount of chlorine as swimming pool water. I just purchased an Aquasana shower filter. In less than 1 week, I have noticed a tremendous difference in the softness of my hair and skin. It is like showering in pure spring water. There is no way I would ever go back to using plain shower water again! ...

I have older (40) skin that is acne prone. I'm looking for a skin product that doesn't over dry as acne products can sometimes do because my skin is older and now wrinkle prone too. I use neutrogena moisturizer, aveeno dry skin oatmeal bar, and retin A. I only wear foundation maybe once or twice a week (neutrogena). I know it's the products that are causing me to break out because I used to use Rhonda Allison and didn't break out, my skin looked great, however, Rhonda All ...

Anyone got good skin rash remedies? I've had a rash on my left forearm for several YEARS.... it waxes and wanes, but is always dry and plaque-like. Very similar to psoriasis, but my arthritis is osteo, not inflammatory, so I'm pretty sure it's just some form of eczema. It's sometimes dry and scaly, sometimes weepy (especially when I scratch too much) and has become scarred as a result. I've tried everything: Cortisone creams, dry skin creams, ant ...

Ok, this is weird. Never had this feeling before, but I am getting up in years, so maybe it is just old age taking it toll. I am sitting in my living room, lights off, 3 fans going. We are in the middle of a heat-wave. Over 90 degrees outside, heat index over 100, humidity unbelievable. I live in an old house with old wiring. We tried window air conditioners, but could only use 1 at a time and only for a certain number of hours before it started blowing fus ...

He is unbelievable. His own kind (Democrats) are catching on. It's too bad he's had a free pass for over 5 years. The media should have confronted him head on. Can you imagine what he must be like when he goes home at night? link ...

I did not plan on being awake at 5 something this morning but so itchy. I have had eczema on my hands before and now my breasts are broken out, both breasts and just wanted to know if any had ideas for something around the house I could use to ease that itchy feeling. ...

I looking for a new skin care regimen. I'm 44 and have a round, chubby face which I used to hate, but now realize it has prevented me from getting a lot of wrinkles. I have a few fine lines around my eyes and those parentheses around my mouth, if you know what I mean. I'm looking for something to prevent future wrinkles and to work on what I have. I have freckles and have sun damaged my skin when I was younger, so my skin is blotchy without makeup. I ...

Right now I am really loving Renpure's hair products. I've been using their shampoo and conditioner (and have gotten 3 compliments on the health of my hair), but only just recently tried their Argan oil treatment. LOVE. As far as daily defrizzer: I've long been a fan of Paul Mitchell's (smells ever so slightly of green apple), but after many years my bottle finally ran out. I'd seen a promo of Bumble and Bumble's defrizz tx in Oprah� ...

"Voting with her brain and not her skin color." My favorite comment mentioned in this article. It hurts my heart to know that this kind of racism still exists in our country. Sensitivity warning: Some of the comments in this article are pretty explicit and vulgar. ...

Instead of subcutaneous nerve, VR got subcutaneous nurse. Yup, he's got her under his skin. ...

The facts of Pat Tillman's death were manipulated and Jessica Lynch was molded into a hero by the Dubya's message massagers. Now many question every bit of information coming from government. The damage done by dimbulb Dubya just keeps on reverberating. ...

I am making a blueberry pie to take to my stepfather tomorrow, and I thought it would like nice to use a cookie cutter in the shape of a bell and apply that piece of crust to the top of the pie. If I use a little bit of water to attach it, will it bake to the top crust securely? A lot of you sound like you are pretty handy in the kitchen! The lemon sponge pie I made for Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks to the person who suggested the allrecipes.com webs ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy. Wishing it wasn't an option has never worked.However, when a discussion comes up about abortion, we women are strictly divided. Black and White in our opinions.This is a complicated issue. It doesn ...

Don't know if you remember my last posts awhile back about a stray cat we started feeding and took care, gave her shelter for the winter and she had kittens. We've taken the kittens in and adore them all. Now...here she is 3 or 4 months later, every once in awhile I'll get a glimpse of her nursing them. Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

I have not found this yet and wonder if others have. People who are unemployed. No pension from a company, no nothing. What kind of health insurance will they get. My partner is unemployed. If this passes I will cover myself. What is out there (or in the bill) for people who are unemployed. He is not old enough to receive Medicare/cade. ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Thought O and Biden were against oil drilling? Dylan Ratigan just had a snippet on from O stating to that effect. Now he opens up offshore drilling? ...

To anyone who has any knowledge of Social Security benefits, I am wondering if an ex-spouse of a male veteran who has passed away can obtain "survivor benefits" (?) from Social Security if she has his children...even though he had been remarried at the time of his demise?? Children are all over 21. I have heard that there is something like this and if so, how would I go about obtaining it? thanks in advance for anyone's help. ...

Due to huge fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and a myriad of symptoms, I've been told I need a TAH. Doctor tells me I'll be out of work 6 weeks but as I'm an MT and just sit at my desk anyway, I don't see a 6-week absence as being necessary. Has anyone here had a TAH as an MT or with a desk job and how long was it necessary for you to be off work? ...

One of my 2yo males has a cyst on the side of his head. I just noticed it this morning, it's about the size of a golfball and underneath his ear. Its not in his mouth. He is eating and drinking fine, doesn't seem to be in any pain. How could it have gotten this big without me seeing it? Anybody have any experience with these? I called the vet and waiting for a call back. I did some research and found out it is most likely benign, soft ...
