I'm 19, and my nose used to have nice smooth skin on it when I was about 16 but then I started to have slight skin problems on it. I occasionally get pimples on it (which I pop...should I?) and I also get these strange little pellets that grow just under the surface of the skin, and they pop out just like a pimple except it's a bit more difficult to do so. I think all this popping might be causing scarring (kind of like acne scars) because now the skin on my nose is all rough, even though the skin on my face is pretty much as smooth as it's always been. But I have to keep popping these things or else they'll accumulate. Also, the pores on my nose seem to be a lot bigger and more visible than they used to be. I started using these biore "ultra deep cleansing pore strips" but they don't seem to be making the skin on my nose any smoother.
What can I do about this?
Why did the skin on my nose get so rough and ugly?
You need to go to a dermatologist. If you keep popping your nose your going to have a hilarious red nose with enlarge pores all your adult life. I have seen adults with this problem and it horrible to look at. You need medication and quickly.
Why did the skin on my nose get so rough and ugly?
it may be dry skin
and if its white and starting to peel
its probably weather change
try aveeno or gold bond =)
Reply:it's called 'EXFOLIATION.' Just avoid scrubbing at pimples w/ it.

Reply:consult a dermatologist.. dont pop your zits.. have your facial once a week..
Reply:You should not pop your pimples for it spreads bacteria throughout the skin causing dry skin, black heads, and more pimples.
Reply:no you really should not pop them. go and see a dermatologist... or at least your family doctor. there are sooo many creams out there that can help you. good luck!
Reply:you might have a skin condition.
go see a dermotologist and if you use a certain type of face wash stop using it
try not to pop those annoying pimples and,
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Reply:it is winter and there is not much sun, and the sun helps your skin. there is not much sun in the winter. when it gets to summer time, they will go away. do not pop anything, it will make it worse.
Reply:ewwwwwwwwwww u must look really ugly..............find a dermatologist ..........and good luck.
Reply:Could be rosacea. Many different kinds of rosacea, so best to see a dermatologist, but essentially, it is a vascular condition that doesn't allow enough blood flow to the surface of your skin, which allows certain kinds of skin conditions to persist (different forms of bacteria, wider pores, etc).
Treatable, but permanent. Usually not that big a deal. We all had perfect skin when we were young. Chances are your soul mate won't mind some imperfections ;).
Reply:I have those pore strips. They dont work!!! Just get an exfoliator (you can find them anywhere) and scrub your nose each night. It will take off the dead skin that causes these pimples. By the way, stop popping them unless absolutely necessary. It will give you scars and is probably one of the causes to the roughness. When you do pop one, immediately scrub it with the exfoliator. That will prevent the dead skin from clogging other pores. You will see a big difference in the amount of pimples. But, maybe not the dryness. If your sking continues to be dry, every morning, put on some oil free moisturizer. If you do all of these things, I guarantee that you will have a clean smooth nose in at most a month!!! Good Luck!!!

Johnson holiday skin what one to choose?
i heard johnson holiday skin good for building a tan up.i have normaly skin.the thing is there 2 of the johnson holiday skin theres the fair to normal skin or the normal to dark skin.i dunno what one to choose,i dont wont a dark tan but just a light one
Johnson holiday skin what one to choose?
I recommend the fair to normal one. Take care though because these things can still leave streaky marks and if you are planning to put some on your face and you have open pores then the lotion gets in and makes you look like you have blackheads!! Not a good luck for anyone.
Johnson holiday skin what one to choose?
depends on how pale you are to be fair, i myself use the darker one as i have darker hair so it builds up a tan much quicker for me and as dark as a tan would be, my other half on the other hand uses the ligher one as he is VERY very white! he looks like a bottle of milk! so it would look strange if he went really dark with ginger hair !!!!
Reply:when they first came out i bought the normal to dark and was horrified with the result, now i use the fair to normal and have a nice colour to my skin. i wouldn't say i look like i've been away for two weeks but i have a nice low and the skin looks really healthy. i burn easily in the sun and am blonde so suited to the fair one. if you have olive skin then i'd go for the darker
Reply:The normal dark bit is your natural untanned skin colour. If you are pale skinned go for fair to normal. If you're not pale go for the other one
Reply:if your really pale get the light one but if you have darker more olivy kin get dark, dont get dark if yuor pale as it will leave streaks were you arms crease and they ill b noticable
Reply:I have med/pale skin and i use the fair one if it isnt dark enough just reapply again the following morning and u soon reach a shade that u lyk i have put mine on twice over two days and it luks really natural for this time of year but healthy
Reply:I am quite fair and so used the fair to normal skin however i found it made me look quite yellow rather than brown. I tried the l'oreal version (nutri-summer i think it is called) for medium skin and found it to be perfect. The colour is great, but it is also a fantastic moisturiser.
Hope you find something that works.
Reply:i'm pale with blonde hair and before my holiday i used the fair skin one it gives a lovely sun kissed look but without the orange fake tan effect
Reply:ive used both and the darker one made me go a slight orange colour. i stopped using that and used the lighter one and that gives me a much better all year round tan. may i add natral too!
go for the lighter one if u dont want to look orange.

Sensitive Skin?
I have very sensitive skin ... and recently, it's getting worse.
First, I have oily skin, which causes acne.
To counter that, I use acne medicine.
I also use a lotion.
Here's what I do:
Morning:
Wash face
Dry
Lotion
Acne Medication
I leave the acne cream on all day.
Night:
Wash face
Dry
Lotion
Acne cream
The problem is, the acne medicine makes my skin flaky.
So I have oily but flaky skin with acne here and there.
What should I do to stop the flakiness?
Foundation will not go on smoothly on my face!!
Thanks.
Sensitive Skin?
Choose a lotion consisting entirely of natural ingredients instead of chemicals. Apply moisturizer both in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. Facial peeling occasionally can minimize wrinkling and other aging signs.
It can be a problem if you have sensitive skin as well as acne. Most of the treatments for acne contain strong chemicals, which can irritate your skin and aggravate your condition. Use only the natural products for acne. Buy gentle cleansers, meant for your skin type. Do not wash your skin frequently as it can irritate the skin

I make my own organic lotions. I do have a formula with essential oils that help combat acne naturally. You might want to try my acne formula!

Really dried, chapped skin and cold sores on lips??
i have had really bad skin on my lips for years now, sometimes its better than others but it is almost always fry, i tried literally all the different creams i could get my hands on!!!
i have also had two cold sores on my lower lip for about a year, they lie low under the skin so you cant really notice them but there is a slightly lighter colour skin above them and i can feel them under my skin, i have used all the creams i could find but they wont budge!!!!!!!!!
i even tried a thing called bio oil that can be used for a few different things like stretch marks, scars and dehydrated skin but it still doesnt have much of a lasting effect, i apply it and once it is dry my lips stay smooth for a few minutes but then they return to how they were before!!!
i know a change in diet is probably needed and i am going to take supplements that i think will help (vit a, e, d and a thing called lysine)
any thing else i can do??
(i know this is in the wrong section but i also put it in skin
Really dried, chapped skin and cold sores on lips??
Chapped lips can be caused by the following: constant lip biting (from stress and/or out of habit), constantly licking your lips, cold dry weather, over exposure to the sun, dehydration, vitamin deficiencies and some people are just prone to dry skin which also makes their lips dry. Severely chapped, sore lips can also be an allergic reaction to skin care products or a medication that you are taking. There are numerous over the counter lip balms to choose from that can help you prevent your lips from being chapped. Choose one that is unflavored (so you are not tempted to lick your lips) and one with a sunscreen. If you suffer from constantly chapped lips it would also be advisable to invest in a good home humidifier. One for each room would be best, but if you can only afford to purchase one at a time, put one in the room you sleep in first.
You can take a soft toothbrush and gently rub in circles to remove any of the dead skin cells. Make sure not to rub so hard that it鈥檚 irritating. Afterwards your lips will have a slight tingle to them and will actually look plumper and fuller. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day seems to be the advice for preventing a lot of health issues but it really does help. If you are prone to dry, chapped lips it is especially important to stay hydrated. There are also a lot of lip balms out there to help heal chapped lips. Try to find one that contains camphor, menthol and phenol. Most
鈥榤edicated鈥?chap sticks have these ingredients. Do not purchase one that is flavored because of the natural temptation to lick your lips, which only worsens the condition.
If you would rather try some home remedies, a lot of people swear by vitamin E oil, olive oil, petroleum jelly or unsalted butter as overnight fixes for chapped lips. (These can actually be used as preventive measures also.) Never wear lipstick when your lips are chapped or peeling. Your lips are very sensitive to bacteria and using makeup when they are vulnerable can cause an infection. If you鈥檙e lips do not respond to over the counter lip remedies, then it may be time to consult a doctor. Your physician can look at your history and any medications that you are taking to rule out an underlying health problem. They can also make a recommendation to a dermatologist if they feel that it might be a skin product or type of makeup that you are using or if you have a related skin condition. I know there are some people that still believe that their lips are constantly chapped because of the different types of lip balms available. There has been a rumor going around for some time now about how chap sticks are addictive and actually contain ingredients to make your condition worse in order to get you to keep buying more of the lip balm. This is definitely not true. In fact, it is literally all in our heads. You see, many experts feel that when we stop using lip balm, the softness we get from the use of it disappears. This can even cause us to lick out lips subconsciously trying to recapture the smoothness that the lip balm creates. To quit using a lip moisturizer because our lips dry out without it, would be like throwing out our facial moisturizers or hand lotions because once we stop using them, our skin becomes dry. Just like other skin care products, we crave the benefits of the lip balm, not the product itself.
Really dried, chapped skin and cold sores on lips??
use vaseline
Reply:CARMEX
Reply:Sounds like you need a dermatologist.
Reply:If you put Carmex chapstick stuff on regularly, trust me, the chapped lips won't be as bad.
Reply:First of all, if you've had cold sores on your lip for a year, I would really recommend going to the doctor to get those checked out.
As far as the chapped lips go, have you ever tried any lip exfoliant? I know it works good for me in the winter time when my lips are chapped.
If you go to the doctor to get your cold sore checked, maybe he could suggest some sort of prescription strength lip balm or something.
Reply:VASELINE!!!! Carry it around wherever you go so you don't get dry lips!!! But lots on before you go to bed and it will feel nice and soft when you wake up!!
Visit the doctors as well so they can help!!!
Reply:Sounds like another challenge for the mythbusters!
Reply:For cold sores I use Abreva. It works miracles. I tend to get cold sores about once a month, when I feel one coming on, I put Abreva on it right away. The cold sores don't even have time to grow, the Abreva knocks them out. Try it. Can't hurt. Its an over the counter cream, it comes in a small tube and it is expensive, but well worth it. You can buy it at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens or any other pharmacy.
Reply:Blistex is good, the relief cream is particularly good!
Sounds like you need to see a doctor about those cold sore and yes a lifestyle change too, reoccurring cold sores are a sign that your run down!
You take it easy Hun!
Reply:massage olive oil all over the body and have a warm bath. do this every once in a week

Penis Skin Care?
Okay, for a while now I've noticed these small harmless bumps on the skin of my penis, its like on the top. It didnt really seem like a big deal since they were like INSIDE but you can see the white spots as if they were white heads or something. Is there something wrong with that? Also I have this small bump like the size of a pimple..Is it possible to have a pimple on your penis? What can I do to clear this off? I'm only 16 and I'm not sexually active so It cant be any STD or anything. Also Im light skinned but my penis is Darker skinned. Would this affect my chances of having sex? How can I take care of the skin of my penis? would hand sanitizer do anything? Lotion? HELP PLEASE!
Penis Skin Care?
I don't know about the bumps, but I think hand sanitizer would sting. And having a darker penis will have no impact of someone wanting to have sex with you. When you find the right person, they will just want to be intimate with you, they won't care about slight variations in color.

The Skin Colour of Malaysians?
Why are some people in this country so obsessed about being fair?
So much so that there's a skin whitening product called 'Fair %26amp; Lovely', which has advertisements showing women only getting the attention of men when their skin becomes fair.
What a load of BS.
Even in Yahoo answers, a lot of dark skinned Malaysians like to make their avatars a lighter colour than their skin actually is.
If you're dark, you're dark. There is no reason to be ashamed. So why are so many people still ashamed/in denial???
The Skin Colour of Malaysians?
THANK YOU, exactly. What's up with that?
Blame it on the media, dude is what I say. In fact blame it on human nature, I mean if you've short hair, you want it lengthened, if you're short you wanna be taller, etc.
The same goes for the Westerners, while they envy our naturally tanned skin, we on the other hand envy their pale skin!
%26lt;go figure%26gt;
It's almost insulting to me that it indicates if you're dark-skinned then you're automatically ugly. Then what about those that are born with such dark complexions? Does that mean they should be ostracized for their appearance? *rolls eyes*
That's what makes us all unique. If we all looked pale, wouldn't that be a "colorless" and dull world?

but its not as tacky as in India. there are actually ads on TV where a girl gets rejected because she's dark and after she uses "Fair %26amp; Lovely", she wins the man of her dreams.
same stuff in Singapore. its an Asian mentality where white is considered beautiful.
Reply:people sometimes don't know how to appreciate their natural appearence. People don't think it is right to say they are beautiful because they think it's like boasting.
i think television has contributed a lot to this problem.

Reply:there are various kinds of race in malaysia. there is chinese, malays and indians. the malays are usually have a dark skin but not too dark.they are wearing that kind of product because the weather in malaysia is hot. the sun makes their skin look darker than usual.. that's why they are using the product too protect their skin from further darkening.
Reply:yeah, we should be proud of our skin colour...god made us as we are and we should appreciate it blemish and all...
Reply:You mean Malays. They are brown.
Reply:Well human always never satisfied with what they owned. I think it's our Asian culture. We perceive that fairer colour skin will get better recognitions and praises from ppl around. * mine is fair colour skin ;-)

Reply:reason for whittening is to let the paints of the colours in the face looks nicer and more attractive.
Reply:Everyone wants to look good. The 'in thing' now is fair skin. For all you know one day the trend will change, and having a dark skin will be fashionable.So in the meantime quit whining and just live and let live, after all beauty is only just skin deep. Its the inner beauty thats count at the end of the day

Reply:the main obsession in Malaysia is with Chinese women wanting to have the perfect figure more than white skin. there are hundreds of clinics everywhere charging a bomb, promising to 'sculpt' their body.
but its not as tacky as in India. there are actually ads on TV where a girl gets rejected because she's dark and after she uses "Fair %26amp; Lovely", she wins the man of her dreams.
same stuff in Singapore. its an Asian mentality where white is considered beautiful.
Reply:people sometimes don't know how to appreciate their natural appearence. People don't think it is right to say they are beautiful because they think it's like boasting.
i think television has contributed a lot to this problem.
Reply:because they watch too much of 'Fair %26amp; Lovely' advertisment...
Reply:I'm dark and i always dream to be fair but i stopped it after i think i'm special with dark skin. I'm Asian not American why must shame with my skin. no discrimination here, why i need a crazy dream?
how can when i put my face with whitening product and all my skin can be fair? oh... impossible right?
so i stoped to dream to born as white

Reply:Even the most successful or beautiful people in the world are never completely satisfied with themselves but always in want of more...
Take Michael Jackson for example... He used to be black but look at him now... ;-)
