my dermatologist perscribed me a face wash and two gels for my acne..ive been using them for about a week now and my acne is still there although ive got some dry patches now..but no loss of acne. do you think it will eventually clear up..like does this stuff take time? or does that mean it probably just isnt gonna work on me?
any knowledge will help!
thanks so much!

2 minutes ago|||I%26#039;m on the same prescriptions. It took about a month for everything to clear up :/
For the dry parts, ask your dermatologist for a moisturizer. Mine gave me some that worked amazingly, but I can%26#039;t remember what its called...sorry!|||There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It was even televised on TV.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It has been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up %26quot;best acne solution ever%26quot; on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for $160
It%26#039;s expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don%26#039;t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
I hope this helps. =)|||Most prescription acne medications appear to worsen within the first month but will clear up.
It takes time for it to fully heal and go away and sometimes you might have to use it after it goes away to make sure it doesn%26#039;t come back.

Dermatologist? Dentist? Veterinarian? (Career Choice Question)?
I%26#039;m a high school junior and I%26#039;m aware I don%26#039;t need to make any career choices just yet. However, I am very interested in dematology, dentistry, and the idea of being a veterinarian. I was just curious if anyone could walk me through the steps to either or both careers. What schooling/grades are necessary? Average salaries starting out, salaries once you%26#039;ve been in the field a while. If either a dentist or a dermatologist could answer and give feedback, that would be greatly appreciated!
I get fairly good grades. Unweighted GPA is over 4.0, weighted GPA is much higher. I%26#039;ll graduate with 8 AP courses, lots of honors and CP.... I don%26#039;t know what grades are necessary to get into any of the above fields...?|||Don%26#039;t stress out too much about what you%26#039;re going to do in life. MANY college students change their majors multiple times and have no idea what they want to do right away. With your academic standing and awesome grades, I%26#039;m sure you can get into any school you want if you try hard. Worst comes to worst, just go in undeclared. The undeclared major is one of the most popular and highest numbering majors in most colleges. Either way, you knock out most of your general education courses in your first 1 or 2 years, and then leave a nice open path to choose which field you want to major in.
Heck, even if you major in something, get a degree in it, and find out that you want to go a different way in life, go for it! A college degree isn%26#039;t a prison sentence! Do what makes you happy, and don%26#039;t do it for the money.
If you%26#039;re looking for straight out money, be a dentist. They really rack in the dough.
But do what your heart tells you to do. And talk A LOT with your guidance counsellor. They can tell you all the answers.
Good luck!|||u better have all As throughout high school and college to do any of that stuff|||i need to say here as an educator you should just aim for your heart%26#039;s desire even if it is tough to achieve.
don%26#039;t forget that you will be doing the same job in every moment of your life after you start working and it will cover the greatest part of your life generally speaking.
also bear in mind that sometimes life opens and closes different paths and shows us things that we may have never even considered if the situation hadn%26#039;t been so.
i don%26#039;t know what career i would be pursuing now if i hadn%26#039;t been expelled from high school for no apparent reason but that made me want to become a teacher and now i am teaching English at a collage as a lecturer and am on my way to becoming a professor.
who knows, maybe in a few years you will just discover a special talent of yours towards an artistic or athletic career or recieve an offer which you can not refuse =).
good luck in life...

It only last for a few mins but I have to put

My brother told me he had the same problem with his hands but they where real bad to the point where the open soars where obvious so I do get why my feet are burning when I can%26#039;t even see and opening, can you tell me why this is happening and how to stop the burning.|||hmm mmm i dont know. maybe proactive?? my class mate has that too. after a few years his just heals!! hope you get through. that sounds bad. try moisturizing your skin alot kk? good luck!!|||You need to get a lotion specifically made to treat eczema.

Dermatologist question!?
I get prescribed Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% for a skin condition. Is there anything I can use over the counter?
I don%26#039;t have insurance and don%26#039;t want to pay a $90 office visit to be prescribed this stuff.
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.
I have asked this before and got one answer. They told me to use Proactive. But they didn%26#039;t tell me what product and if there were any special instructions. This is not for acne of any kind if this is what they thought.
Thank you.|||I would look up your prescription medication on the Internet and see what condition it is used for. See if the conditions that are listed ring a bell as far as what type of skin condition you have. Without knowing the condition you have, I wouldn%26#039;t want to tell you what to use.
I would also suggest that you talk to your pharmacist to see what he/she has to say about anything over the counter.
Good Luck!|||It would help a great deal if you could tell what the skin condition is.|||First of all, a fungal skin infection should not go untreated as it can spread %26amp; cause scarring as well as skin discoloration. Proactive is for acne only, NOT fungal skin infections. You need a prescription drug to control %26amp; eradicate the fungus.
Second, educate yourself fully about your condition. Ask your doctor what preventive measures you should take to control or eliminate outbreaks. What caused this outbreak in the first place? Can you change your diet? Should you change your personal hygiene regimen? What can you do to improve your condition as well as make it worse?
Third, your doctor needs to keep an eye on your skin condition, which is why you need an appointment before he%26#039;ll provide prescription refills. However, if your general practitioner is treating you, you really ought to ask for a referral to a dermatologist for specialized treatment of skin diseases/disorders. The fungal infection may take several months to clear up. If this is not the case, you really need to be more proactive %26amp; aggressive with your doctor.
Last, ask your doctor if another, less expensive drug preferably a generic one, would be as effective as Econazole Nitrate. Whatever s/he prescribes, ask him/her to provide you with a prescription stating that a generic substitute is permissible AND a prescription that has several refills. Also ask him/her whether or not s/he has free samples of the drug that he can provide you.

Dermatologist questions?
My dermatologist says I should take Cetaphil to relieve my rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis on my skin. I can describe my rosacea as being very blotchy,pimply and red. It is even pimply under my breast, my arm pits, neck, behind ears, and face. As for my seborrheic dermatitis it is extremely dry. I have moderate to high severity of rosacea. Aren%26#039;t they%26#039;re drying effects and other ingredients in cetaphil that will make it more red and dry. What other ingredients in other products besides those in cetaphill will make my skin breakout? I want to avoid those products. I am having a breakout right now but can%26#039;t reach my dermatologist until may 22nd. I have tried eucerin sensitive facial skin daily perfecting lotion in spf 15 and that only made my skin very red and dry. What ingredients are doing this? Are there other creams you can recommend to me please? I don%26#039;t want my skin to look this bad until the 22nd. I want something that is over the counter that I can buy at any drugstore possibly. Thank you. I don%26#039;t have alot of money to spend as of now. Possibly something that is $25 or under.|||Hi! I used to work for a derm. and he would always recommend ceraVe wash and lotion. It is very gentle and when I use it it makes my face soooooo soft. They sell it in cvs, rite aide. It costs $10-$12 a bottle. Good Luck! Jennifer|||Cetaphil is very gentle and should not cause break outs. There are 2 versions; normal to dry skin and normal to oily skin. Find the best one for you.
It%26#039;s also about 8-10 dollars.
It%26#039;s also about 8-10 dollars.
Dermatologist or Urologist?
I have this condition. Whenever I rub my penis either during foreplaying or masturbating...no matter how gentle I do it, it hurts..afterwards, my penis kinda becomes swollen-like..I have chumps-like of swollen skins on my penis( wherever I touched it)..I also feel that my penis is very heavy. Also the internal skin of my penis become very red. it stays that way for a couple of hours and goes away a couple of hours, 8 or more. I don%26#039;t have health insurance, so should i go see a dermatologist or urologist?|||Definetely a Urologist, Planned parenthood has a free clinic.
Dermatologist/Dentist and fear of needles?
When I was ten I had to go five times to a foot doctor and every time I got three shots. Which were extremely painful. I also went to the dentist twice in the same month that year, and both times they gave me a shot in the gums. Needless to say, that hurt like hell too.
Ever since then whenever I see or think about a needle, I start crying, shaking, and hyperventilating.
Today my grandma got home and told me that she made both an appointment at the dermatologist and the dentist for tomorrow. I have a plantar wart on my toe, and it actually has been going away on it%26#039;s own. But I don%26#039;t want either of them to get close to me with a needle. I%26#039;m going to the dentist for a filling. Obviously, I%26#039;m really scared...
I%26#039;ve tried getting out of the appointments, and it didn%26#039;t work. Is there any way to get over the fear, by tomorrow morning?|||Ask your dentist if he offers nitrous to calm you before the shot. Also a topical numbing cream will be put on the gums to help make the shot less painful. Remember that a tooth ache is far worse than a shot to fill and prevent a worse situation. Take it easy and talk to the dentist and skin
dr. to explain your fears and they will surely put you at ease.|||just don%26#039;t think about it. i%26#039;m almost the same way. needles freak me out, but if i concentrate on something else i don%26#039;t freak out and almost run away from the doctor haha. i really do freak out if i think about it though. ughhhhh! i hate needles!
