becki xxxxx|||It affects half the planet but most people have never even heard of it. What is this mysterious disease, you ask? Well, if you know what it is, you%26#039;re probably one of the unfortunate ones to be dreaded by its presence. It%26#039;s called Keratosis Pilaris. To some it%26#039;s just a fancy, scientific term, but to most it%26#039;s comparable to the devil himself. A breeding ground for insecurities and depression, Keratosis Pilaris can easily turn an every-day situation into a nightmare full of anxiety.
Keratosis Pilaris is a skin condition that causes acne-like bumps (resembling goose bumps) from a build up of keratin, a natural protein in the skin. It%26#039;s most commonly found on the upper-arms, but it can also be plagued in such areas as the face, thighs, back, chest, and buttocks. Keratosis Pilaris isn%26#039;t contagious and the only way to spread it is through reproduction (meaning: yes, it%26#039;s only hereditary). It isn%26#039;t harmful, just a nuisance. Getting rid of Keratosis Pilaris isn%26#039;t the easiest thing but there are possible treatments for it.

My friend had the arm ones and I remember some of our guy friends made fun of her so she ended up getting them lasered off (that is definitely the expensive way though). If you want a cheaper way, try just wearing clothes that cover those areas and on days when the bumps aren%26#039;t showing, flaunt your legs and arms! Best of Luck!|||if you wear tight fitting clothing like blue jeans and tighter sleeved shirts,it could be just that the hair follicle is irritated. keep doing what your doing and wear shorts or looser fitting jeans. and tees|||they are heat bumps and they are more then likely from wearing your jeans to tight or sitting on the ground alot. I recommend seeing your dermo. so you can get something to help control it :-)|||get it checkout by a doctor, or it could just be razor burn or something. google it and compare it with pictures

How do I shave in a way that I don't get that annoying mass of red, swollen pimple things all over my face?
Use a moisturising shaving gel/cream, make sure your razor is new and not used up for disposable, for straight blades make sure its honed properly.
Also don%26#039;t press as hard, take more passes on the same area in different angles instead of one in every area.|||I%26#039;m a girl so I don%26#039;t have to shave my face, but I do read a lot and I know a thing or two! Start with a clean face. Shaving exposes your skin to bacteria since a small top layer of your skin is taken away by the razor. Second, make sure to only use new, clean razors. Keep in mind dirty/old razors are dull and require more pressure against the skin to do the job, resulting in skin irritation. Try shaving in the direction the hair grows as opposed to the opposite direction and see if that boasts better results. Use an aftershave to provide your skin with the moisture that was lost in the process of shaving. Use one without too many ingredients (like from a health food store like Henry%26#039;s) and try an unscented one. Hope this helps!|||I have this problem, still yet. So i asked a skin specalist, he says it happnes( the red things on face) due to hair irritation to soft skin, so you either let your whiskers not grow after certain period( its 3 days for me ) or let them grow till the red thingies stop bothering you and then shave. Problem with 1st solution is it maked your face green and skin looses its glow. where is for second, you look shabby sometimes.|||If you have more than a day or two growth, trim it down with a beard trimmer or hair clippers. Take a hot shower. When you get out put a good quality shave gel on your beard. I use Gillette ultra gel. Have a sharp razor and shave. Make sure you take short strokes. Wash the hair and foam from the blade after shaving 2-3 inches. Start at your sideburns and gradually work down your face. Always pull down, not up or sideways. Just go slow till you get it down. My beard gets pretty thick. I like the Gillette Mach 3 razor with the sonic handle. Just take your time and dry the blade off when you%26#039;re done so hard water or anything doesn%26#039;t build up dulling it.

My son has a pimple size bump on the back of his hand. It doesn't look like a wart . Could it be skin cancer
We used Compound W which did nothing. How could we tell if it is just a new mole or something more serious?|||I have answered a question about the skin symptoms:
Some symptoms of skin cancer may include the following :
Enlargement of an existing skin lesion.
Reddish patch or irritated area, frequently occurring on the chest, shoulders, arms, or legs.
Poorly defined borders of a skin lesion.
Itching.
Ulceration or bleeding of an existing mole.|||It could be a small cyst. They are not really dangerous. You need to have his doctor look at it no mater what it is if it does not go away in a day or two.

What is the best way to get rid of a pimple without using creams?
NEOSPORIN: It kills bacteria, speeds the healing of wounds, and can minimize the appearance of small scars. Neosporin鈥檚 combination of Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymixin-B kills a broad range of bacteria beyond the typical acne treatments such as benzoyl peroxide. Also, unlike BP, Neosporin is unlikely to cause drying since it uses an oil base (something that acne sufferers typically try to avoid - however, it鈥檚 actually the oil underneath the surface that your glands produce which is more likely to become a barrier to clear skin). It also causes reduction of redness makes spots less obvious.
Put neosporin on it. |||wash your face with ivory soap (the plain white one) and use estee lauder moisturizer. it worked wonders for me and it also made my skin glow.|||wash ur face twice daily with face wash n apply multan mitt daily for 15 min n wash it off with cold water|||wash your face daily with regular bar soap thats what i do

I have a pimple which is white in the middle and is bumpy! Please help me, I need to get rid of it in 3 days!?
Here is what you do
1. Take a warm washclothe and put it on the pimple for maybe 10 minutes
2. use your two thumbs and squeeze the white dot with your nails, gooey stuff should come out it%26#039;s puss
3. leave it alone
4. wash your face
5. put some acne medication on it, I recomend Persa-Gel 10 from Clean %26amp; clear
6. It should ammount as a scare, but It soon will go away
7. if the white bump comes again repeat the steps
also that type of acne is called a white head. They are much easier to get rid of oppose to black heads!
:)|||Pop it and treat it as other have described,If its still red on on the required day.

You can buy it anywhere facial cleansers are sold...pretty much everywhere nowadays. Anyway, the thing I liked about it is that you only use it on the spot you need, so it doesn%26#039;t dry out your whole face. You can put in on up to three times per day, and you start to see results very quickly, in 8 hours or less. I would definitely reccomend it....I%26#039;ve loved it!|||Green wintergreen rubbing alochol, pour a bit on a tissue and wipe your face..you will see the tissue become very dirty.

A sterile tick or leach could probably get rid of it. As a sense that is not an option for you, hold an icecube to it for a half and our, or longer, constantly keep it in cool temperatures, and try to puncture it when almost frozen, or, you can go to the doctors and get liquid nitrogen squirted on it. Then they scrape it off, you will have a bit of a cut, is that better than a pimple?
