  1. I am 28 and suffer from acne. Doctors haven't been able to
    help me. It gets worse in the winter. I get painful boils
    all winter and painful acne the rest of the time. I've tried
    everything on the shelfs. Any advice?

    Common practise by medical GP is that, he would normally,
    prescribed you with antibiotic related products to solve
    your acne problem. In the long term, its bad for you ie.
    abusing and wearying-off your body's immune system.

    The other alternative is, to seek natural healing such as,
    by eating alot of pineapple or its juice. Of course, eating
    those pineapple when, your acne appeared, don't over-eat
    it, cause, taking too much pineapple would weaken your
    body's CHI. For your info, pineapple, being a tropical
    fruit, come with alot of enzymes as compared to temperate
    fruit (ie. apple or grape) that come with plenty of
    minerals. Enzymes from tropical fruit act a 'cleanser'
    flushing away impurities in the blood system. This would
    probably tackle those boils and acne problem of yours,
    commonly found in younger people. You see, younger people
    are in 'heat' most of the time as compared to elderly
    people who hardly come across acne problem, when, they grow
    older. So don't be too alarm!

    Best regards

    You didn't mention if you're diabetic or have any auto
    immune disorders like discoid lupus for example. Acne can be
    hormonal also. here's a couple of websites that you may find
    helpful : (good luck)

  5. I have a healthy lifestyle. I can only blame my skin problems on my
    astrology sign. Aries problem area is skin. When the boils first appeared I
    was a vegetarian. I seem to have low immune system and get rashes that the
    doctor says are exclusive to those with diabetes. I don't have diabetes but
    I try to live healthy so I can keep my risk low. My mom blames previous
    dental work for my health problems.

    You may not actually have acne -- there are other skin
    conditions that share similar characteristics. Make sure you
    have the correct diagnosis, as the treatment(s) available
    for true acne differ from those for other problems.

    A common cause of pimples is simply the habit many people
    have of touching their faces with hands that may have also
    been touching money, doorknobs, & any number of other
    surfaces crawling with bacteria. I've seen people with very
    specific areas of blemishes that occur almost exclusively
    where the person touches their face (usually absentmindedly)
    -- such as the chin area & the area of their cheek where
    they lean their head onto their hand.

    Another problem may be products used on the skin. Many women
    have had the misfortune to use a make-up product that
    wreaked havoc with their complexion.

    Use of any central nervous system stimulant can aggravate
    skin problems like acne. Whether caffeine, pseudoephedrine,
    or some herbal preparations -- substances that people take
    for a pleasureable flavor, sinus congestion, to drop a few
    pounds, or to increase their energy level -- can certainly
    play a part with the breakouts.

    Keeping hair off the skin can be helpful -- it's simply
    rubbing bacteria all over the skin. Washing eyeglasses
    frequently (NOT just the lenses, but all of the frame & nose
    pieces as well) is another good idea. [I had a client who,
    upon getting dressed, noticed his glasses were a bit spotty.
    I offered to clean the glasses while he finished tying his
    shoes & he watched as I washed them in the sink, with plenty
    of soap & water. He asked why I had cleaned everything & I
    explained. About a month later he was back in & was pleased
    that since he began regularly cleaning the spectacles, he
    had less blemishes on his upper nose.
