Question 1

what can i do to have crystal clear skin?

Accepted Answer

Makeup: A perfect complexion is everyone's goal.  Makeup can cover your blemishes.  Lasers can remove red and brown discoloration, medications can help with acne bumps.  See a dermatologist or aesthetician for assistance.  Just know that even the magazine ads us airbrush.

Question 2

i have white crystals coming out of my skin?

Maybe just sweat: Sweat is mostly composed of sodium chloride and water. It is the evaporation of the water that cool down the body. As that occurs, it leaves behind the salt, which can appear as deposits of white crystals on the skin and clothing.

Sweat malfunction: CF is a genetic disease that causes dysfunction in the bodies production of sweat and mucous production. Because not enough liquid is produced during sweating the salt found in the gland concentrates.

Question 4

is it possible smoking crystal can create worms in your head?

Accepted Answer

It's hallucinations!: Smoking crystal meth, methamphetamine, is a dangerous and highly addictive habit. It causes poor dentition, weight loss, brain damage, and other physical and mental problems. It frequently causes socioeconomic problems too. The "worms" you are feeling in your head probably is a result of having hallucinations or brain injury from smoking crystal meth. I strongly encourage you to go into Rehab now!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Vertigo brought on by head motion is typical of inner disorder. If this is a recurrent problem for you and an otolaryngologist has ruled out an inner ear or labyrinthine cause, seek a second opinion by one who specializes in vertigo or consult a neurologist for an opinion.
