Dermatologist prescription works, but leaves my skin dry and flaky. Help?

The things that my dermatologist prescribed me are working great. My skin is really clearing up. My only problem is that I do not think that they are %26#039;exfoliating%26#039; my skin and removing the dead skin, leaving it dry and flakey most of the time, even though I do moisterize.


He told me not to use other products than what was prescribed, as well.


Any ideas or tips as to how to make my skin less flaky and dry? Or good moisterizers that won%26#039;t irritate my treated skin and/or cause breakout?





Thanks a lot.


Best answer will be chosen.|||I also have problems with dry skin, and I have tried many different moisturizers and it only help my skin to feel god for some hours and then my skin dry es up again.


But the best thing I tried is baby oil it really works well, but


the best thing you can do is to buy yourself some OMEGA-3 pills you will see and feel god results after some weeks use.


Omega-3 is god for you%26#039;re heart, blood vessels, and skin.


I really feel that its working for me and I hope it will work for you to.


You can buy Omega-3 in the pharmacy.|||pure aloe, and the drinks will clear yourr system with out presciption drugs, not the aloe at the health food shops, that is too weakened down.


I can provide you with free samples petesmummy@aol.com|||i love salad fingers he is awesome right?|||Try drinking lots of water and ask your dermatologist for a moisterizer that can go good with your skin and drink lot of liquid and alcohol makes your skin dry to.

Dermatologist recommended skin care?

I have combination skin, extremely dry around my lips and chin, normal on my cheeks, forehead and nose. I have mild acne but whatever acne treatment I buy completely dries out my skin and eventually the mild acne returns. I have some whiteheads and a few flat red spots under the skin that are always there. No acne on my forehead, mostly around my chin and some around my nose, but as I said, it%26#039;s light. I want to have flawless skin, but this seems unlikely as my annoying combination skin is always so tight and even flakes on the skin around my mouth. And before you ask yes I use an exfoliant, a cleanser, a moisturizer ... I used Neutrogena On-the-Spot and my skin literally peeled ... can any dermatologist or someone who knows about this stuff help me?|||check your shampoo....you prob have rly sensative skin.....you have to get a shampoo with none of these!!





Extremely common ingredients


Sodium Lauryl Sulfate


Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate


Ammonium Laureth Sulfate


Ammonium Xylene Sulfonate


TEA Lauryl Sulfate


Sulfur (in dandruff shampoos)


Selenium Sulfide (in dandruff shampoos)





Less common ingredients


Magnesium Sulfate


Sodium Thiosulfate


Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate


TEA-Dodecylbenzene


Sodium C12-15 Alkyl Sulfate

those are bad for your skin and hair.....go on walgreens and search natural shampoo...pick one that doesnt have a lot of harful chemicals try it out for 3 weeks and see if your skin clear up...also milk is rly bad for peple with acne....try not eating a lot of milk products foe 3 weeks...





oh and baby shampoo works well and is gentle and doesnt cause acne... your conditoner shouldnt break you out at all just condition and then soap after :}





oh and for scars palmers products are good...they have a cocoa formulah soap that get%26#039;s rid of scars as you shower you will see the difference eventually. :))))))))))))))))))|||the extremely dry spots may be eczema|||I%26#039;ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it%26#039;s at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I%26#039;m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





Literally the best acne face wash I%26#039;ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It%26#039;s unique cause of it%26#039;s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem dot com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn%26#039;t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





Well good luck and best wishes.

DERMATOLOGIST...R U THERE?

It looks like you have hyperpigmented follicles. It%26#039;s common on dark skin to have melanin deposit in hair follicles. I think you%26#039;re stuck with these, but don%26#039;t look at it as a bad thing. It%26#039;s like freckles, it makes you, you.





One other possibility is keratosis pilaris. This is a plugging of the follicle and happens on the areas you%26#039;re having trouble with. Usually, you can feel these as very small bumps, but maybe you have a mild case. OTC Lac-Hydrin 12% lotion will help reduce the appearance, but not completely.





Hope any of that helps...|||let insurance company pay your medical/health bills

I DONT REALLY GET ANY ACNE, JUST WHITE HEADS, AND I CANT HELP BUT POP THEM WHEN I GET THEM, I CANT STAND LETTING THEM GET BIG|||Go see a dermatologist, would be the best thing. But you might want to use an exfoliant. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is amazing if you can afford it. Chemical exfoliants are better but usually more expensive. A good scrub or wash cloth would do.

Dermatologist experiences ?!?

I am a guy and ever since i cut my hair short i have been noticing a lot of white flakes all over my hair ( dandruff, dry scalp or whatever !!). I have tried using various shampoos and even tried a couple of home remedies but haven%26#039;t noticed much of a change. One of my friends told me about this one this one dermatologist who successfully treated my firend%26#039;s scalp when he had chronic dandruff. I have also made an appointment with the same doctor for tomorrow but I am really freaking out about seeing a dermatologist. I dunno why but i am. Also i am not very comfortable with people putting their hands into my hair.. would the dermatologist do that too ?|||Are u serious??? I mean do u cut ur hair urself? Color urself? Straighten urself, do the deep conditioning treatments urself???


Do u like walk into a salon and say hey i am not comfortable with people touching my hair?? My guess is no..





Honestly dermatologist wont really like have to touch ur hair so much.. I mean one look at it and they will recommend u with medicated shampoos, some vitamin tablets probably. And probably some other remedies which u will have to do all by urself. So stop getting paranoid. And get ur drandruff treated like a good boy.|||yes they will have to put their hands in your hair. its no harm!|||did you try slsun blue i had very bad dandruff and so did my mom as soon as we started using it they went away. if you use it every other day or everyday it will work i think it did for me and befor that i used all types of stuff and nothing worked untill this try it befor you go and pay too much money of a dermotoligist|||well he would have to see the dandriff so he mighu touch you bet its not that bad most of em just look at your skin or hair and give you a prescription and the end well when i went that was ti i was out in under 30 min

Dermatologist help!! i have a hole in my arm that wont stop oozing puss.How do i make it stop??

I am a 28 yr Old male. I had a growth that developed from a pimple or bite on my arm that sort of healed over and became hard and dry skin. It would itch and i would scratch it. After 2 years i decided to get it removed. My local GP performed the Excsission. The results came back that it was nothing serious and probably just a oimple or bite that was continually infected from my scratching it. After 12 days the bandage and stiches were removed and it was healing nicely. But it never did heal. It opened up again and it would never skin over. If i leave it uncovered to dry out , it never scabs as there is fluid coming out from the inside. I went back to my GP and he recomended using DUODERM. After weeks of using this product, it continuessly sucks out puss from the wound! WIll it ever stop?? IS there something else i out there that i can try?|||It sounds like you may need an antibiotic to clear up the infection before it will heal. If you haven%26#039;t taken one since this all stared, I would talk to your doc about that. It could be a staph infection or something that really needs to be treated soon so that it doesn%26#039;t get worse. Good luck and God bless.|||have you been tested for that new strain of staph infection?


it doesn%26#039;t show up in alot of tests, and you seem to be describing it to a tee....|||O wow, check with the doc that you might be at the beginning of something called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I had something similar on my calf muscle and a year later I kept getting them in other places... then it becomes for frequent. Its worth a check.

Dermatologist , anyone , beauty ?

i%26#039;ve heard that waxing facial hair makes hair grow back thicker and faster but some people said that it is the opposite.


i dont know what to believe.








is waxing a good solution to upper lip hair ? long term effect ?





can you get a pill that stop facial hair without prescription ?





about ingrown hair , why is it in my country (asia) no one gets ingrown hair but went i came to the US i started getting it. what is the cause ?


i mean, when i went but to my country they rarely know what it is and ask me if i have health problem.


it is the same with cellulite, we dont have it in my country.








plz tell me if you have experience each situation yourself or if you are educated in the medical field|||1. Waxing is the solution to the problem. It is often not permanent. Not every individual hair grows back, some are completely eradicated, although repetition is necessary.





2. The long term effect is nothing other than irritation and a increased or decreased neural sensitivity in the area. I know it hurts. You could be sensitized, or numbed, we don%26#039;t know.





3. You can not stop or retard hair growth without a female hormone prescription.





4. Ingrown hair is in a culture of people who shave that hair, wherever it may be. You knew that. Perhaps the other more sensible answer is that you are somehow exposed to testosterone or steroids in diets or meats in the US. This is present in male cows, since females are milking, and in male chicken (rooster), turkeys (toms), which we eat, not the females. More shaving is necessary.





5. Cellulite. On a pure diet of low fats, fish and Omega 3%26#039;s which assist in digestion and regularity because of low cholesterol, fatty deposit %26amp; cellulite is not encouraged. In the US, we eat a greater variety, not as healthy, not organic, and containing all kinds of lipids, hormone additives from the female standpoint as well, and insoluble fats that leave their deposit.|||I experienced bunch of differences in my body once I came to US. If you eat meat maybe one of the reasons. They use sometimes hormonal food which may mess with your methabolism and function of your body. I would keep myself on ahealthy diet and eat less meat.|||waxing will delay the hair growth as it will pull the hair from its root. it will take more time for the hair to grow back and it is better than hair removal creams or threading. cellulite and ingrown hair is common problem. when you dont do the waxing properly hair tends to grow inwards the skin. you have to cut down on carbohydrates and fatty foods to get rid of cellulite
