Best foundation for me??
l'oreal true match foundation is great %26amp; its good to set the foundation with a powder to prevent it from running or melting in the heat. also, l'oreal true match line makes it easy to find the foundation, powder %26amp; blush that best suit your skin tone
Reply:neutrogena works the best for me in any weather. it stays on and it doesnt make me oily or break out. i like the shades they have and the price.
Reply:Get the Bee Luscious Cosmetics Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation in Almond you will be very happily surprised with the marvelous results. This foundation literally melts into your own skin tones to even out skin and it can hold up to any climate.
Reply:MAC makeup is really nice to use.. they have diff kinds for the various coverage you want..and they're shades are great for all skin tones.
Reply:Have you heard of custom blend foundation, that is customise foundation according to your true hair colour, complexion, and your eyes colour as well. It is water base and would last all day long with SF15, This must carry out by a well trained consultant, unfortunately since u live in dubai so you cant have this done. Anyway, there is another foundation called Mineral Founation, there are 4 shade, light, medium, medium dark and dark, it contains SF15, not only is mineral makeup free of any nasties such as talc, silicones, parabens or any other irritating fillers, it also acts as a foundation and powder all in one. I would recommend u try on this motives pressed mineral powder. Feel free to check out the website
Reply:you said "don't recommend bare minerals ". why ? it works for my skin here in the hot %26amp; humid south, it's the best brand i've found in over 25 years. good luck with your search !

What do you mean you are taking an antibiotic? Consult your doctor! You are probably not going to be able to diagnose yourself.
Reply:Please don't try and self-diagnosis yourself. This is an important thing and should be diagnosed by a physician.
Reply:That's simple my friend'


Dont be fool always cover your tool,


Just go to a doctor man, don't be afraid you can ask him to make your files to be confidential, that is their job. And no one has cured himself of these cases.


I have a brown spot popping up on both ankles What could this be?

I'm a 20 year old male caucasian in good physical condition.


I have have been developing a small discoloration of the skin on both interior sections on ankles (orangish-brownish speckled discoloration). The right one is a little larger than the left. There is no pain, itching, or change in sensation/touch. The area is also normal in texture.





I don't have any family history of skin cancer or any other known cancer. Also, that area of my skin is never exposed to any form of ultraviolet light (that includes the sun).





I was wondering if it could be some sort internal bodily disorder/disease or an actual skin disorder.





If you need any more additional details, please email me.





The only form of medication I take is an over the counter sleep aid: "Simply Sleep/diphenhydramine."

I have a brown spot popping up on both ankles What could this be?
it sounds like simply dry skin, it's common around the elbows and ankles, try a loufa when bathing and lotion afterwards

How do I get rid of or lighten darkened underarm area?

I am 27. I shaved my pits when I was in high school but stopped my junior year. From then on I've tweezed my pits and now not so much grows back. But in the recent years I've noticed that the area is darker. I have light skin and the discoloration under my arms is very noticable. I've never used depilitory or wax in the area.

How do I get rid of or lighten darkened underarm area?
Discolouration comes most often from heredity - if your mother had darker skin there, chances are you will, as well.





The second most common reason for darkening there is friction. Chances are the anti-perspirant you use is chalky and not moisturising. That often makes the skin cells overproduce and become thicker and darker. Try using a very creamy AP/Deodorant like Dove and apply a moisturiser that contains AHAs or Glycolic acids every night. before bed. That should lighten a bit. I like some of the creams that contain alpha-Arbutin from a Japanese line of products called DHC. The website is www.dhccare.com





If there's still a problem, seek out options at local spas or at a dermatologist. There are SO many ways of professionally lightening skin right now that I'm sure you'll find one that's effective for you!
Reply:dermaline skin whitening cream..


apply thinly every other day because this skin is thin and sensitive.
Reply:Hello you need to use the underarm peeling whitening set of 4. It will get rid or your stain in just two weeks. please before getting the products read about diana stalder and about their products. You can read customers feedback about underarm whitening peeling set and it does work miracles...


My dog has what I think is candida (spelled right?) What can I do about this?

Shes terribly itchy all the time, she has skin and fur discoloration, and she smells like a dead fish when she gets hot. She burps a lot too, though that might be cause shes a dog...


She has no health problems, no stress in her life, and for the last three months I have been feeding her "wolf king" grain free food (she dosent like the grain free foods much, and wolf king smells like oregano or something, I dont reccomend it -and neither does she!) She has no fleas, and any allergens that might have been around have been taken care of - unless she's alergic to people I guess.


None of this has helped.


The stupid Vet has been giving her prednisone and antibiotics since she was a puppy. I almost punched him in the eye when I found out about this, because shes not sick, nor has she ever been! He said it was "good preventative maintenace"


I assume that she has candida, since she has all the symptoms and has been on steroids and antibiotics for two years.


What do I do?

My dog has what I think is candida (spelled right?) What can I do about this?
I recommend an allergy test, that is the only way to rule them out or know exactly what bothers her. Food allergies account for only ten percent of them. So, switching food often helps little to not at all. Most are environmental...weeds, grasses, trees, house dust/mites, etc. Plus, dogs often have multiple allergies. One of mine has nearly thirty and the only sign is yeast ear infections. There are three things you can do to treat them. The best thing is reducing/eliminating exposure to the allergen(s), steroid drugs (prednisone, for example...but none are good/safe long term) or hyposensitization (builds a tolerance to the allergen). The allergy test isn't cheap ($250), but it saves so much time, effort and money in the long run and helps the dog much quicker than trial and error. Good luck, with whatever you decide.





ETA: If you have the test done: You get a booklet when test results come back, lots of helpful information. Along w/them, you get a print out of safe foods...for that particular dog. Pay close attention to the list though, b/c one brand of dry might be safe, but that same brand's canned might not be...depends on the ingredients. For instance, my dog can have Nature's Recipe 'easy-to-digest chicken meal, rice and barley' DRY, but not the Nature's Recipe 'easy-to-digest chicken meal, rice and barley' CANNED...because the canned contains potatos and carrots, both of which he's allergic too. It's natural to assume if a brand is safe, all of that brand's products are...but it's not true.





ETA: I forgot, has the vet tried anti-fungal pills, like Ketoconazole? You might want to check into that too.
Reply:Wow. What the heck kind of vet are you going to? Yeah, a yeast infection sounds about right with that many antibiotics going around in her system.


Well, obviously, take her off of the antibiotics. Also, I would find a new vet as there is probably now some sort of skin treatment she needs. Give her a good bath and possibly a little bit of yogurt to encourage her good bacteria (not too much or you'll make her sick to her stomach).


Good luck with that. I would let whatever new vet you find know about what this vet has been doing. There are regulations for how many steroids they should be prescribing and unneccasary antibiotics can make a dog very ill.
Reply:Achidophilis [sp?] I give it when I give anitbitoics to my little ones. Male and Female. Depending on the size, I would poke a pin into the capsule and put a two drops on a snack 2 times a day. They were approx. 6 lbs.
Reply:Hey bud


this seems like really bad allergies. With all respect, even the best food from the bag is crap.


Prednisone and antibiotics will not help and can only hurt the dog.


Research BARF. It works miracles.


All the best


LATE ENTRY :


Getting "shitpoints" for trying to be helpful sucks :)))


If your knowledge is so superior, please let it ring out :)))
Reply:Sounds like she has skin mites. Its actually a type of mange. She needs to have a skin scrape done, and the doctor can give her the right antibiotic. She doesnt need any steriods. My dog just got over this and sounds the same, she might start to loose her fur too. But it will grow back and the smell will go away.
Reply:You must bring the poor dog to a different vet.
Reply:Well find a new viet first! I 've never heard of Wolf King foods though. So can't comment on the ingredients. Sounds nasty though.


What kind of dog is she. If she's having recurring skin infections than your right it's probably an allergy of some kind. The vet should have done specific allergy testing on her to see what exactly she's allergic too. Not just pump her full of steroids and antibiotics. Sounds lazy to me.


First find a new vet, then get her on some kind of really good food. Have you looked at Candie?


I've had my Golden's on this for over a year now and I tell ya not skin issues here any more. Not one hot spot this summer either. I'm very pleased and very happy with their appearance and their over all health.


Dan non makes a yogurt now for getting the stomach and intestines back to normal balance. I'd pick some up and feed it to her just a bit at a time but geezer the poor girl!





Do you live near any Veterinary School Colleges?? If you do than I'd get her there for a look over.


They do have specialists for skin issues.

Can I use mederma on my chin to get rid of tweezing scars??

Why does my penis feel this way?

My penis hurts, like a sore kinda hurt, and its weird cuz there is not discharge, it doesnt hurt when i touch or rub on it, it doesnt hurt when i pee, there no blood, it looks just the same there is no discoloration, or skin changes. it just hurts like when im sitting down or laying down, and it feels like it might be by the head underneath, and i havent had sex in a long time, so its not an std. and its not a real bad pain, but its an annoying one, because you guys know that is a sensitive area. have any of you guys gone through this before?

Why does my penis feel this way?
since you mention that you haven't had sex in a long time, i'm presuming you've had this pain for the same amount of time. pain is indicative that something is wrong. you should not have to endure pain for any length of time, short or long.


you need to see a UROLIGST asap. this doctor specializes in care for the genitalia of men and women.


it's better to be safe than sorry. seek help immediately.
Reply:Go to the doctor
Reply:just because you havent had sex in a long time doesnt mean its not an std...definetely go see a doctor
Reply:You masturbate too much.
Reply:Well yes actually. I don't know if its from the same reason. I was having sex a lot and a girl came crashing down on me when she was on top. It hurt....I gave it 36 hours of recovery time.
