Products/treatments that make pores and blackheads really go away?
I am going back into commercial work; perfect skin is critical. I use Aveeno skin brightening daily scrub every other day, neutrogena clear pore cleanser/mask as a mask every few days on my chin, nose, and between my brows (where I get the pores and black/whiteheads of course), aveeno clear complexion foaming wash twice a day, and c.booth balancing facial cleanser sometimes as well. I moisturize with aveeno positiviely radiant daily facial moisturizer with SPF 30 every morning, and occaisionally use the color from Chanel's tinted moisturizer with SPF 15. I have very, very fair skin and am about to start a freckle fading/intense vitamin C treatment, as well as other serums and moisturizers from c.booth, No.7 and Chanel. I am not trying to avoid going to a dermatologist, but I do want to know what you guys have tried (or heard of) that really does the job of getting rid of those brownish pores on the nose as well as blackheads on the chin and between the brows. Any dermatologist/product recommendations? I have red hair and blue eyes and light freckles, accordingly pretty sensitive skin. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THROUGH ALL OF THIS (wow I talked a lot) and I will definitely get 10 points to the best answer soon!
Help with finding skin care that doesn't make me break out!?
Since high school I have used a lot of different skin care products, usually the higher end like estee lauder, clinique, merle norman etc. I never could use grocery/drug store type because I would breakout.
I use something for a few months with great success, and then all of a sudden it stops working. Or, I immediately break out or get dry skin.
I have very sensitive skin, especially to vitamin C, so a lot of anti aging products bother me. I started using Neutrogena products a few months ago and I thought I had found the answer, but now my skin is becoming flaky and has slight red bumps, but not acne.
My question is, where can I go to find the right skin care? I'm tired of trying samples at counters and buying products only to return them. Does anyone have a skin issue and have found a solution, or should I just head to the dermatologist? I've tried natural products and they don't seem to help either.
What can I do?
If I start taking prenatal vitamins, will it help clear up my adult acne?
I'm not pregnant. I drink water all day long, everything I use is oil free, and I keep my hands away from my face. I've tried everything. Proactive, Accutane, and every other lotion, cream, and vitamin from the dermatologist. If I take prenatal vitamins, will it help clear up my acne? I'm desperate

post-nair hair removal bumps PLZ answer!!!?
nair is the most incredibly abrasive hair removal cream i've ever used. several months after i've used it, i have ugly bumps all over my arms, legs and back where i've used it. the bumps are disgusting and red and brown and they look like a pimply rash. i've tried vitamin E ointment, baby oil and vaseline, and i even ice it occassionally, but nothing seems to help.
what's a remedy i can use to make these ugly bumps disappear?? and YES, they are ugly so no one say to just live with them! and ps, i'm only 14 so my mom won't take me to a dermatologist or buy me any medicines or ointments. she says they won't work and we'll be wasting $$. btw, do products that make razor bumps go away help with hair removal cream bumps?
How do I get rid of this nasty belly button ring scar I have?!?
For the past year i've had my belly pierced twice. Spend all about or over 200 on it and all I've ended up with is a scar.
The first time it healed great, fast and perfect. I was absolutly inlove with it but about 5 months after it was done it slowly started to go red, one day i was wrestling with my boyfriend and it ripped almost right out. Bloody and gross it was hanging on by a thread so I took it out and let it heal over. If you look at pictures of healed over belly piercings they dont look that bad.. 2 little holes..
But you havent seen mine. It ended up being a MASSIVE red ball above my belly the size of my pinky finger nail. Ugly and standing out like you've never seen I was determined to get rid of it. Half a year later on my birthday I decided my best bet was to try again. I went to the piercer and she re-ashured me that she would just pierce behind the scar and it would almost hold on better and the redness would eventually fade away. This was 6 months ago.. Ive been RELIGIOUS about cleaning it and taking care of it.. But as time passed it just kept rejecting and getting worse and worse. Once again.. Last week it was hanging on by nearly a thread.. It had moved its way through the entire scar out of me! I got so frustrated I took it out.
I've read up on healing scars and I've heard massaging it and Vitamin E are best. Its still huge red and ugly as hell and all I want is to get rid of the redness. I've even contemplated going to see a dermatologist about it if it comes down to it... Anyways, Im desperate.
Any professional opinions?
On either healing it or if I should give up on trying to get it pierced all together?
Thanks
