Question 1

does hot water really open scalp pores and cold water closes them? do the scalp pores close anyway?

Accepted Answer

Vasodilation: Warm water makes your scalp vessels open and dilate which may increase absorption of topicsl products. It doesn't truly open pores. Cold water causes constriction of blood vessels.

Question 2

i did meth and now i have a horrible oder coming out of mu urine, pores and scalp. its so disgusting. please help me.

Accepted Answer

Treatment: Meth use  can cause a harsh body and users will often sweat a lot. This odor will remind you of cat urine. Meth labs often have this same smell. The chemicals in the drug are what can cause the person to have this smell to them when they sweat and it comes out of their pores.  Treatment for addiction is very important.

Start simple: It sounds like this has been going on a while, so you might try simple measures first like moisturizing lotion. It might also help to stop shaving for a while if you have an irritation rash. Occasionally there is an infection which needs medical treatment. If in doubt, see your doctor.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes,: it could be a pimple, or clogged oil gland.  Especially if it is a little tender.  If it doesn't go away in a week or 2, it may be a mole and you should have a doctor take a look at it to make sure it looks like just a normal mole.

Question 8

what causes the open pores or caters on face???!!!

Accepted Answer

Skin changes: Enlarged pores of the skin, particularly of the face can be the result of dirt, debris or oils of the skin.  These can clog or block the pores, which should naturally be open, to help protect the skin and keep it hydrated.  Daily washing of the face, avoiding strong soaps, can keep the skin healthy and clean with lessening of clogged pores.  If no improvement, seek a Dermatologist for further help

Question 9

what can cause open skin pores?

Accepted Answer

Pore Size: According to the magazine, "best health, " the size of the pores on your face depends on the girth of your facial hairs, which comes from genetic factors related to hair and skin development. That is, if your parents and extended family tend to have larger pores on their face, you are more likely to inherit the trend as well.

Question 10

any remedy for open pores on face ?

BTW A referral to a Dermatologist trained in COSMETIC treatment...(not just skin disease) would be helpful if one is available in your locality
