Question 1

what is the best home remedy to get rid of head / body lice?

Accepted Answer

Vinegar may help: Vinegar has been cited as a natural rx for head lice when applied to dry hair & massaged through it daily for a week. It does loosen the nits (egg casings) which should be combed out to prevent re-infection. Pickling vinegar or apple cider vinegar may work a bit faster than regular & you can always fall back on the otc products if this fails.

Question 2

how do you get rid of ak skin growths and bumps on your face and also skin tags. is there a home remedy?

Accepted Answer

Not really.: Ak stands for "actinic keratosis" - they are small crusty bumps caused by chronic sun damage. Dermatologists usually freeze them with liquid nitrogen; for severe cases a strong cream containing 5-FU or Imiquimod is used. Skin tags can be clipped off, or if they are large enough, you can tie a thread around each one to cut off blood supply. But most people (wisely, i think) let their doctor do this.

Question 3

if i have head lice is there any way i could get rid of them with any kind home home remedy could you give me some home remedy advise

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Some have a variable response with a stout vinegar preparation (apple cider or pickling vinegar) applied to dry hair as a thorough wash & soak followed by combing out the nits with a fine comb.Several daily applications are often necessary. If this is not successful you can use the otc lice products.

Question 4

what home remedy or essential oils can i use to get rid of shingle blisters on my face?

Accepted Answer

None: Due to location on the face I would bypass trying experimental ointments on the face.
There are oral meds that will help limit the spread and scarring from the areas on the face. See a Doctor quickly to limit the spread.

Question 5

is there a natural at home remedy to get rid of small spider veins on the face such as under the nose?

Accepted Answer

Laser ablation: Probably the best and most efficient way to ablate the small spider veins is with a Laser or an electric needle aka a hyphercator.

Question 6

i think i've taken a reaction to spot treatment and have red, painful, itchy, blotchy rashes on my face. how do i get rid of it? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your doctor needs to examine you and run some tests to see what's going on.

Question 7

i have had dark spots on my face for almost four years now. i have tried so many different remedies and facial products and no progress. what is the best safe way to get rid of dark spots and blackheads for good?

Accepted Answer

Facial skin ?'s: Persistent "dark spots" and "blackheads" are best treated by a dermatologist. Cleansing techniques, and bleaching products are useful, and a dermatologist can determine which of a large variety of treatments will be effective.

Question 8

what to do if i want to get rid of dark circles and also blackheads. is there any home remedy i can try?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If your dark circles are caused by chronic nasal congestion, controlling the nasal congestion will likely help.   If this is an inherited feature, a cosmetic surgeon may help.

Question 9

i have very dark hair on my body underarms and private areas.how to get rid of these permanently any home remedy or anything.?

Accepted Answer

Laser vs electrolysi: Currently there are only two methods exist for permanent hair removal--laser and electrolysis, which are widely available in dermatology offices/centers. Waxing, plucking, or shaving are temporary measures. There is no home remedies for permanent hair removal yet. I believe there will be equipment/machines available for home use in few years. Consult your local dermatologists. Good luck.

Question 10

i have dark spots from acne scars on my face. i need to clear them out. is there any home remedy or over the counter product i can use to do so?

Accepted Answer

Bleach: The brown, but not the red, marks may respond to a hydroquinone bleach, but be careful and use sparingly. Preventing new lesions using scientific Rx is more important now. Best wishes.
