Hi BabyDoll\n\nHere are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. \n\nCleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.\n\nJudyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."\n\nJudyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin." \n\nDetoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body. \n\nLearn more about Therapeutic Fasting and Detoxification - Internal Cleansing \n\nNatural Cures\n\n1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne. \n\n2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. **Must do a colon cleanse to

I know the feeling, i get acne breakouts when i'm stressed or i get a major zit when i'm going out, it's really frustrating!\n the only thing that helps is when i'm on the pill.

get a face scrub with an active ingredient(like salicylic acid).  Use twice(or more) daily.  Also, maybe you should see a dermatolagist.  Even your regular doctor might prescribe anti-biotics(sometimes bacteria is the source of break-outs) or pledgettes

definitely always use protection - break out or not .... and be honest , tell the person  that you have it, they have a right to know because even with protection  there is always a chance it can spread,  more so  during a breakout I'm sure, but even with out it... its a virus  and it spreads....   there are also support  groups for people with this ... just like  for any other group with a specific problem / situation.. and   dating     sites  / groups  dedicated to  others with it... dating    within the   same group can save you the embarrassment and anxiety of having to    tell people and risk rejection.  best wishes !

I've gotten those, too. The best thing to do is wear a shirt with a softer seam or try a tank top. They won't go away completely until you stop working out in those shirts with rough seams that rub your skin.

I think being that you are 43 and never had your face break out before, I would go see a dermatolgist.  It might not be acne....

If it's just one, not a major breakout, put a little bit of paste-like (not gel) toothpaste on it overnight.  It'll help dry it out.  It sounds nasty, but it works.

Thats really very normal. Your body is purging itself of its toxins through your skin.  The best thing you can do is drink plenty of water to help flush your system.  It won't last forever, just until your body has flushed itself. Hang in there, keep up the good work!

You may want to visit your dermatologist.  I had the same problem right before my high-school prom, and I was so upset about it!  I went to the dermatologists two weeks before my prom.  They prescribed medications along with Retin-A.  I still ended up going to the prom with a load of make-up and pimples.  Anyway it took about 4 weeks for the meds to begin to work.  I later found out that the foundation that I had been wearing had caused my break-outs.  It didn't contain oil, but other pore clogging ingredients.  I tossed it, and went to Origins, until my blemishes began to fade.  Now, I'm much older, and suffer from the occasional one pimple.  I said all of this to say, check the products that you are using somewhere there's a culprit!  What you may want to try is Neutrogena Multi-vitamin acne treatment. It works!!!  Also St. Ives Clear Pore Cleaners.  Your best bet is to go see your doctor, if you can.  Or PRO ACTIVE!

If you're only getting the pimples around the spots where the beanie was on your head, I would say yes, you may have been allergic - see a dermatologist. If not, it might have just been hormonal changes that are now causing the breakouts. Make sure you get plenty of water, take a daily multi-vitamin and wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day (one that has salicylic acid and antibacterial agents in it). Wipe after w/ a mild astringent (as traces of the cleanser will still be present, even after you rinse) and use a good moisturizer with sunscreen. You should be ok. =)

I don't know about tennis, but it's a common TEENAGE thing, period.  Make sure to wash, maybe using acne soap - if that doesn't help, go to your doctor and ask for something stronger.
