Question 1

i have been using the acne medication, neutrogena oil-free acne wash for maybe 3 or stop using the acne wash?

Accepted Answer

Can you clarify?: This is very weak stuff and if you're still having acne, move to something stronger. Salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and/or retinoic acid are your best friends. If they don't clear you in a few weeks, or if you have severe acne or it's on your trunk, your physician can add something stronger that will work. Best wishes.

Question 2

can a bar soap for facewash b causing my whiteheads. i heard it creates bacteria over time use, i use neutrogena original formula transparent bar soap?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: A dirty washcloth might be a more likely source of bacteria than a bar of soap. And if the soap contains benzoyl peroxide then it is pretty much not going to have bacteria of any significance.

Question 3

what is crusted (norwegian) scabies?

Accepted Answer

Form of: Highly contagious form of scabies.Affecting immunocompromised and institutionalized patients.

Question 4

i have a medical exam coming up for employment with norwegian cruise line. they are doing a stool sample and i'm wondering if thc can show?

Accepted Answer

: If they are testing for THC, it is more likely that they would ask for a urine sample than a stool sample. THC could show on a urine sample up to three weeks later, depending on how heavy of a THC user you are. Good luck.

Question 5

i believe i have norwegian scabies. i have weak immune system from hep b and i already had scabies years ago, the main region is my scalp. is there an?

Accepted Answer

Probably not Scabies: Scabies infestations tend to make you itch in all the private places, and on your arms and legs.  If your scalp is the only part of your body involved its more likely you have head lice. They are tough enough.  If Home remedies and OTC treatments are not working see your PCP for a prescription medication. Also see:

Question 6

i have neutrogena rapid clear pads for my face. one side has little circles on them and the other side is smooth. which side do i use first?

Accepted Answer

Salicylic Acid 2%: Per Neutrogena product description: the side of the pad that is textured is what you would use to cut through oil and waxy plugs. But be careful, in addition to a proprietary cleanser, these pads contain 2% salicylic acid acne treatment  that may be harsh on your skin. Use as directed on the packaging and follow-up with your PCP or Dermatologist if you have additional questions or concerns.

Question 7

is neutrogena fine fairness is a good product for skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Neutrogena is an excellent brand of skincare that i can trust as a dermatologist. There are several brands out there. Whether it is a good product for your skin and skin type is indeterminate. If you are looking for a more comprehensive and customized skincare routine, see an esthetician who works under the influence of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Question 8

i am suddenly allergic to sunscreen, neutrogena brand.. what brand should i try?

Accepted Answer

Physical blocks: Depending on which neutrogena sunscreen you reacted to, the most common sun screen allergen is oxybenzone and its derivatives.  You can switch to a sunscreen that contain only physical blocks such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Remember to reapply every 2 hours while in the sun.

Question 9

is neutrogena t/sal shampoo ok to be used every day?

Accepted Answer

: I have not seen research that it is bad it good. But everyone is different so best to test it in yourself.  Start with low amount and then work up to normal. If no problems then likely OK.

Question 10

can i use the neutrogena naturals purifying pore scrub as a daily cleanser?  it says on the bottle that it is gentle enough for everyday use

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sure, unless you develop some irritation or allergy.  Do you really need it, though?  Sometimes using a rough substance on your skin too often can aggravate acne, which I presume is why you're using it.  How about 3x/wk?
