Question 1

how do i treat overactive sebum in my pores of my face lots of white pus in each pore. i've already use re-tina a have a good skin routine.

Accepted Answer

Lots of treatments: Sebum is normal. Using retin-A is the best first step. Accutane would do more but it has lots of drawbacks so I would advise consulting your dermatologist.

Question 2

good day,

i once fell and broke my front tooth and now its painful.

it has what looks like a lump inside the nose and pus comes out every now and then. the tooth has turned dark/brownish. it is painful, especially when eating or drinking?

Accepted Answer

Necrotic Nerve: It appears the nerve in that tooth has died as a result of the trauma. You have an infection that requires immediate attention. The tooth requires root canal therapy and most likely a crown. The alternative is extraction. Waiting to get treated only makes things worse and decreases the chances of saving the tooth. Please see a dentist.

Question 6

do carrots decrease sebum?

Accepted Answer

Possible. Yes or No?: Our body takes apart ingested materials, physically &amp; chemically, down to tiny molecules (called digestion), to protect us from most threats, then rebuilds them into structures we need to stay alive as we constantly both tear-down &amp; re-build our body. Could molecules from carrots (mostly starch) ↑ sebum (mostly fat molecules)? Possible because body converts sugars to fat for storage. See Evidence

Question 7

No: Sebum, the oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands, is in no way an infectious substance. We all make it. If that is truly what you are describing then i feel comfortable saying not to worry.

Cloudy, whitish: Looks no different from harmless/normal urinary sediment. Look like a mass of tine circles or discs when viewed under a microscope.

Question 10

Topical retinoids: The topical retinoids (such as retin-a) are usually effective in reducing sebum. All require a prescription. If that doesn't work, some dermatologists will prescribe very low doses of an oral retinoid (such as accutane).
