Question 1

how can you relieve eyes that are itchy and puffy due to acne cream?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: When applying acne cream, avoid applying near/around the eyes, and applying sparingly. Most acne creams only require a pea-sized amount of product for a face application, which is applied by dabbing (on cheeks, chin, forehead, & nose) then rubbing in. If your symptoms occur or worsen despite proper application, stop using the product & see your physician as you may be having an allergic reaction.

Question 2

i started using epiduo gel a couple days ago on my forehead for acne and suddenly my cheeks really burn and im red under my eyes and on my smile lines. its the only cream that has ever cured my acne and i really want it to work. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Stop few days: Would d/c the cream for a few days, which should alleviate the discomfort and redness. Then, would start again in following manner...apply pea size amt to entire face 1 hr before bedtime and wash off just before retiring. Do this every other night for 1 week. Then use nightly.When you feel ok, keep cream on overnight. Use Dove unscented soap to cleanse and remove the cream. See dermatologist soon.

Question 3

i put stieva-a 0.1% cream on my pubic region as i had some acne down there. next day it's burning and stings/peeling. bad decision! :-( what to do?

Accepted Answer

Irritant dermatitis : Tretinoin cream can cause an irritant dermatitis. The irritation can be treated with a topical steroid cream. If over the counter Hydrocortisone 1% cream doesn't help in a few days, see a dermatologist for treatment.

Question 4

is oil on your face skin supposed to be stingy to eyes? stings when oil gets in, eg. squinting, crying. i put no chemical on skin. use chem- free soap

Accepted Answer

Eye irritation: Oil on your skin should not irritate your eyes? do you mean sweat? in that case, the salt in your sweat will irritate your eyes. You are 26 yrs old. I'm sure this is not a new experience for you.

Question 6

Cosmetics contain: toxins many times.  Look for natural ones, e.g., Klaire labs.  See dermatologist for help w/skin.  Don't smoke.  Vitamin E capsules and/or directly on skin MAY be helpful.  Peace and good health.

Benzoyl peroxide: It is available over the counter at any pharmacy.  There may be many different brand names available and it may be available in different forms:  Cream, ointment, wash

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Stye: It sounds like a stye. Possibly a chalazion. Not anything dangerous and not because of a spider bite. Warm compresses, not just warm towel but use a potato in the microwave, wrap with wet towel. 20 minutes on.

Question 10

i have dark circles around eyes since i was a kid . i am 21 now and i want to remove them . any remedies of creams please ?

Accepted Answer

No creams.: Dark rings around the eyes are usually determined by your genes, how thin the skin around your eyes is.    I would not recommend any creams or bleaches to be applied near your eyes!   If your eyes are puffy and dark, resting with a cool compress for 10 minutes can help.  Sometimes people with allergies have rings around their eyes along with asthma, allergic rhinitis which can be treated.
