Question 1

what are risks of that medicine to grow lashes?

Accepted Answer

None really: The medication was discovered as a side effect of a topical anti-glaucoma medication.  The quantity used for lash growth of this product termed latisse, (bimatoprost) is too small to have any effect elsewhere.  Theoretically it could lower eye pressure, but that is not a bad thing.  A very sensitive eye with hazel color iris could have some darkening but this is very unlikely in the amount recommended.

Question 2

there are little flesh colored dots on my bottom lash line. yesterday there was 1. today there are 3?

Accepted Answer

: Flaky or scaly skin at the base of the eyelashes with skin colored bumps, is known as Blepharitis. This can be caused by seborrheic dermatitis, bacterial/fungal infection or clogged eyelid glands. Depending on the cause, treatment involves topical eyelid massage,  antibiotics, steroid eyedrops or topical antifungals. See a Dr to determine what the underlying cause is and get a prescription.

Question 3

in the past 2 months my lashes are turning white and pointing downward due to blepharitis. can this be reversed if the blepharitis improved?

Accepted Answer

White lashes: If the blepharitis is bad enough to turn the lashes white, you need to get it under control regardless of whether or not the lashes regain their color. The other condition to consider is vitiligo, which is autoimmune in nature.  My suggestion would be to get checked by an ophthalmologist, and to treat the blepharitis aggressively if that is the source of the white lashes.

Question 4

what is whip lash?

Accepted Answer

Neck Injury: Whiplash is a nonmedical term used to describe neck pain following an injury to the soft tissues of the neck (specifically ligaments, tendons, and muscles). It is caused by an abnormal motion or force applied to the neck that causes movement beyond the neck's normal range of motion such as what happens in motor vehicle accidents, sporting activities, accidental falls, and assault.

Question 5

what can i do to lengthen my lashes?

Accepted Answer

Latisse (bimatoprost): Latisse (bimatoprost) can make your eyelashes longer and fuller. It's applied daily with an applicator to the base of the eyelashes. Takes about 1-2 months to see about 40% thicker eyelashes. Results only last while using the product. They go back to normal 2 months after stopping the product. You have to get it from a doctor's office. Make sure to ask about the side-effects.

Question 6

i want natural long lashes. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to do naturally: Many girls and women are wearing false eyelashes for a reason. Long eyelashes are a recessive gene in women, and dominant in men. That's why men aren't wearing false eyelashes. Lash thickeners have their own problems, having wheat protein as a constituent, and can be problematic in people with gluten, or wheat allergies. The ones with specific eyedrop formulation, can change the color of the iris if use long-term.

Question 7

what is done for whip lash?

Accepted Answer

CONSERVATIVE CARE: Unless there is nerve injury the neck should be protected and conservative care started.

Question 8

what are the symptoms of whip lash?

Accepted Answer

Often misinterpreted: Whiplash is a description of a rapid acceleration/deceleration movement affecting the neck due to flexion/ extension forces.  Chiropractors have used this term to describe the effects usually of a rear-end motor vehicle collision.  Often the symptoms involve neck pain and stiffness.

Question 9

how do you know if you have whip lash?

Accepted Answer

Your neck hurts: Whiplash is another term for a neck strain. Typically the cause is a motor vehicle accident or other trauma that "whips" the head around. Often the symptoms do not begin till the next day. If you have significant neck pain following an accident you should make sure that you do not have a fracture or torn ligaments.

Question 10

how long do whip lash injuries last for?

Accepted Answer

Most ok in weeks: The majority of whiplash injuries heal within several weeks to several months.  The healing rate is generally better in males v females as the guys have more muscle bulk in the neck which tends to be more protective of injury.  For some, the healing can be protracted with some chronic symptoms developing.
