It is hereditary, however washing 2 times daily, with soap and water helps.\n\nIn addition, she should use peroxide on her skin to fight the acne.\n\nShe will look young when she gets older.  Oily skin is a blessing, in that oily skin tends to wrinkle slower.\n\nI have another secret...I put baby powder under my bangs, and around the oily spots to soak up the oil, and then I just wipe it down so it doesn't look white.  It absorbs oil and keeps my skin drier.\n\nPS- I see someone on here said moisturize the oily skin.  Never, ever, ever moisturize oily skin.  It makes matters far worse.  I have lived with it 41 years and seen many, many dermatologists about it.  :)\n\nGood luck!

If he's getting a rash, don't use any baby oil. Could just be that it's clogging the pores. However, if it's a rash he's got, also have the doctor see him. Rashes go along with so many infant illnesses.

Blackheads are caused by oil and dirt clogging pores.  Keep your face clean, clean, clean!

A C N E\nPimples on face and body\n\n\nAcne is a small pocket of infected oil in the skin, produced by the sebaceous glands located in the dermis layer of the skin which open into hair follicles.  When this oil is trapped and infected it produces pimples known as acne.\n\nSymptoms:  It generally occurs on the face and back and can become abscesses or deep infected lesions in the skin.\nCauses:  The production of the hormone testosterone, in men and as well as women, causes the sebaceous glands to grow, producing more oil.  Meanwhile, the skin cells near the pore produce keratin.  When these two substances mix, the greasy oil and keratin produce an amalgamation which blocks the pore causing a blackhead.  When the pore is plugged up due to this substance, bacteria begin to accumulate and grow.  This inflames the area and forms a pimple. \nSuggested treatment daily:\n1.Wash your face with a balanced pH liquid soap every day morning and night to remove the oil.  Dry your face with a paper towel, so that the skin is not contaminated again.\n2.Apply propolis cream with aloe vera.  Women may apply their make up over the propolis cream if necessary.\n3.It is a good idea to clean the skin deeply with a cleansing facial mask two times a week, which will remove dirt and oil from the deeper layers of skin.\n4.Take a natural antibiotic like bee propolis until the infection diminishes.\n5.Avoid the use of greasy creams or cosmetics\n6.Increase the use of fiber\n7.Avoid the use of soaps that contain suifides, iodine, bromides or oil\n\n\nRecommended products for excellent assured results\n\na)Natural liquid soap\nb)Aloe propolis cream\nc)Bee propolis tablets\nd)Garlic+ Thyme tablets\n\nFor further information contact me.

Loss of oil will cause the skin to crack.  If you work with cardboard or paper a lot, they will really dry your fingers out.  Use lots of lotion or if you can get your hands on Solar Oil from a salon, it works really well.

Because your hands have thick dead skin, the oils and bacteria that cause pimples can't reach deep into your pores.

The oil that naturally comes from skin is disrupted in a scar or keloids. So it dries out and itches.

Most itchy skin (without any rashes, bumps or lesions) is caused simply by dryness.  If you don't already, use a moisturizer daily.  If you do and are still dry, find a different moisturizer.  If the dryness continues to be a problem, see a doctor to rule out illness and a dermatologist for some prescription moisturizer.

The exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors believe it results from several related factors. One important factor is rising hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens (male sex hormones), increase in both boys and girls during puberty and can cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies have shown that many school-age boys with acne have a family history of the disorder.\n\nThere are many myths about what causes acne. Chocolate and greasy foods are often blamed, but research has shown that foods seem to have little effect on the development and course of acne in most people. Another common myth is that dirty skin causes acne; however, blackheads and other acne lesions are not caused by dirt.
