Hi There\n\nHere are some ideas on how to help her get healed.\n\nCause \n1.Cleansing the Skin: The skin is a very important part of the body; it is an "extra kidney," an extra set of lungs for breathing, and has many other functions. We should keep it in a good condition, important as it is, but we usually treat it shamefully. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and the skin should be bathed daily. This does not mean to use soap with each bathing, unless it is a natural type biodegradable liquid soap. Nearly all bar soaps do more damage to the skin than they aid it, by leaving residue of the soap to clog the pores. The pores are the doors and windows of the temple and must be kept open to let in oxygen (the breath of life) and to excrete toxins and waste. \n\n2.Diet and Use of Natural Fibers: A person who uses lots of mucus foods has a gluey, sticky type perspiration. When this individual sweats and the body is not cleaned regularly, the dried sweat clogs the pores. This is a beginning cause of dermatitis, or skin malfunction. In addition, as a nation we have fallen in love with easy to wash and iron synthetic clothes. These rob the body of the breath of life because manmade synthetic fibers do not "breathe." Only natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, silk, etc., can allow the skin to breathe properly. \n\n3.Diet: These are two of our big problems; the third one is a diet devoid of wholesome foods. We use man's prepared materials, called food, that have been contaminated and processed, and in so many cases, should be classified as "junk food." All aids to fighting dermatitis work better and faster if we consider the first three things mentioned--bathe regularly, return to natural fibers to wear, and eat wholesome foods \n\nHerbal Aids \n\n1.Dr. Christopher's Bone, Flesh and Cartilage: (BF&C) For the most severe cases of skin diseases in the advanced stage, use a combination we have called Bone, Flesh and Cartilage combination, internally and externally. Repeat procedure. Make the tea, soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetic--never use synthetic--wrap fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunctioning area and cover with plastic or wax paper, leave on all night six days a week and for as many weeks as needed until relief appears. Then continue a week or two for severe cases. Drink one fourth cup of finished concentrated tea with three fourths cup of distilled water three times or more each day. \n\n2.Dr. Christopher's Chickweed Ointment: This is made of chickweed herb and bees wax and oils. Excellent for eczema and/or other skin infections, sores, burning, itchy skin or genitals, swollen testes, acne, hives, also for ulceration of mouth and throat. This is a wonderful healing ointment. \n\n3.Plantain: For skin diseases that result in scrofula or eczema, use the tea internally as a blood cleanser and use the strong tea externally as a wash. If the skin is not oily, you can use the ointment topically to affected areas. \n\n4.Juices for Eczema: Carrot & cucumber. \n\n5.Cabbage Leaves: Cabbage leaves applied to an infected wound, ulcer, or oozing eczema should be layered like roof shingles, allowing secretions to drain between the layers. \n\n6.Tarragon: Soothing for eczema and scurvy. \n\n7.Dr. Christopher's Healing Ointment: (CMM) Made of comfrey, marshmallow, marigold, bee's wax, and oils, this is an antiseptic to be used on lesions, eczema (dry), poison ivy, soothes inflamed surfaces, abrasions, burns, hemorrhoids, for bruises and swellings. Good to have on hand at all times. \n\nTestimonials \n1.BF&C cures skin problem worse than eczema: One day a lady came into my office in a frantic state of near hysteria. She told me that her fourteen-year-old daughter was at home and some neighbor ladies were with her, to keep her from doing harm to herself. That morning the mother had stopped her daughter from committing suicide. The girl, for several years,

Two solutions that you will find in any home, tea and coffee. They should do the job nicely.\nThe longer you leave it in the fluid, the darker it will become, so check it often.

I had really bad skin when I was growing up. My face would be covered in blackheads and I have really big pores so I was always squeezing the heck out of my face and that was just making them worse because like you said they would all be back the next day. So my suggestion to you would be to steam your face every night before you go to bed to open up all of the pores and while your face is still warm you need to get a cucumber face mask and put it on your face for about 20 minutes. After you peel it off put Vaseline on your face and leave it on overnight. I don't know why but for some reason this keeps your pores clean. Hope that this helps you out\nCheers

Just clean your face twice a day and take care of your skin.  There are special masks and stuff that you can use, or you could even see a dermatologist to get creams or something.  Blackheads usually aren't a huge deal.

Try a cream from AVON called Banishing cream. It lightens skin discolorations.

Wow, sorry, that sounds really gross.  First of all, quit smoking.  Second, use some lip balm -- Blistex is a great healing ointment.  Maybe try some anti-aging lip treatment -- Clinique makes a good one, you can get it in department stores.  If your lips are really that bad, you might be able to get laser treatments to zap out the discoloration.

GET A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!\n\nGet her checked out by someone who will give you the time of day (and more).\n\nThere are a few things that I can think of that will cause the paleness and dark circles:\n\n(1)  She may be (as others have said) anemic.  \n\n(2)  She could be anorexic.\n\n(3)  She could be on drugs.  (Unlikely, perhaps, but I had to mention it.)\n\n(4)  She may not be getting enough sleep - to extreme.\n\nIt could be other things even more (or as) serious.  So take her to someone who cares -- get recommendations from family, friends, co-workers (people you trust).\n\nMake sure she is getting a well-balanced (perferably, all-natural) diet until them.\n\nWish I could be of more help.

I suggest your daughter see a skin specialist or dermatologist. Her problem will be properly analyzed. A skin hygiene program suiting your daughters condition will be prescribed along with any necessary medication. Over the counter medications are expensive and my not be what she needs. See an expert, you obviously love your daughter and this is your best option.

I believe there is a number of things that cause them, but the most effective treatment is laser treatment. I do not know the exact name of the treatment, it is also used for treating so called spider veins, but it's offered by a lot of plastic surgeons and upscale spas. Also you can find a dermatologist in your area and ask for a referral. I have a burst vessel on the bridge of my nose from a trauma and found out that laser treatment is the best way to get rid of it

You can go to a doctor and have it burnt off or froze off.  My mom doesn't have a scar and she had hers burnt off.  But that was a mole on her back.  A plastic surgeon can work wonders for all areas though!

It sounds like it could be eczema or possibly a contact dermatitis..an skin contact allergy. Eliminate all soaps and facial applications of any kind for a few days, try using just tepid water for washing, and just do gentle patting, no scrubbing. If there is a new product she has been trying for her face, stop using it for sure. Slowly add back her usual facial products, like face soap, cream, make up etc...if flare happens again, you can probably safely say it's an allergen. BUT, asking to see a Dermatologist may not be a bad idea.

For an acne medication, Proactiv is the best out there. For just a few blackheads, you can go to a local spa or beauty clinic and have a facial that normally costs under $50 CAN, usually around $25. they can extract the blackheads for you!\n\nBut picking at them and constantly using over the counter medications will only irritate your skin. just wash your face with a mild cleanser, first with hot water to open the pores, then rinse with cold to close them. steaming your face may also help open the pores, but make sure after you're done, you rinse your face with cold water to protect your skin.
