my spinous process is zig-zag. should i get it realigned?

Accepted Answer

Spinous process: If you can feel the spinous processes slightly zig-zag, and there is no pain associated with that, you probably are anatomically built that way; sometimes our bones form slightly differently from one-to-another due to traction of muscles or other forces, and maybe you have alittle scoliosis even. Most of the time this is all benign, and needs no treatment. If there is pain, go see your doctor!

Question 6

is ziana good for wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

Ziana and wrinkles: Ziana contains tretinoin which does help with wrinkles when used over a prolonged time.  It also has an antibiotic in it that will not help wrinkles at all.  If you really want wrinkle reduction, see a local doctor who can discuss chemical peels and laser resurfacing with you along with the ability to prescribe tretinoin (retin a) alone.

Question 7

Question 8

zvan you get herpes form a tanning bed?

Accepted Answer

Don't do it!: First of all, as a dermatologist, i would like to discourage tanning bed use.  More than 170, 000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the us each year are associated with indoor tanning.  One indoor uv tanning session increases users’ risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent and basal cell carcinoma by 29 percent. Herpes would be the least of your risks.

Accepted Answer

Ocular migraines!: Ocular migraines are a form of migraines that take place in the occipital cortex (part of the brain that interprets/controls vision).  They lack the severe headache as common migraines.  The symptoms are usually all or mostly visual and are typically described as flashing of light or ziz-zag lights in the vision.  They usually last less than 30 minutes and affect the vision out of both eyes.
