Acne problems help please?
I’ve had acne since i was about 11 and as i got older i realized i have acne prone skin (its on my back and chest too), i’m 19 now and i have tried everything. I went to a doctor but all she does is make my buy the same stuff over n over again with no results and irritating skin an its costing my father money so i stopped going. I started using over the counter products they worked to some extent but it really irritates my skin so i’m starting to think a natural way is the way to go and also treating it from the inside (i’m on birth control, it was recommended to someone who recommended it to the person who recommended it to me, i started taking it to prevent pregnancy but i thought why not kill tow birds with one stone). I know the natural remedy takes a longer time but i’m willing to wait if it means having healthy skin without harsh chemicals. So my question is what would you say is the best home remedy? please don’t give me a bunch of them cause i cant try all of them, just tell me which one is the best. I am so tired of living with this, i’m a very confident person and this is really messing with my self esteem, i don’t wanna have acne as an adult.
Thanks much 🙂

Here’s a simple yet one of my favorites DIY facial mask, have done this as a gift to my brother who has suffered acne since puberty:
* Crush 6-12 non-coated aspirin in a bowl. Aspirin has Salicylic acid, that exfoliates and helps clear up (acne) break-outs.
Then add 1-2 teaspoons of an acid like lemon juice to make a paste. Lemon juice has a pH around 2.8. Leave this mask on the skin for 5-15 minutes. This mask might sting any open areas of skin like cuts or open pimples on the face.
Follow with applying the neutralizer– 2 teaspoons of baking soda!
Your skin will love you — and you may also have a surprisingly fresh scent to go along with your clearer skin!

Okay mamas out there that are pregnant with 2 younger kids help me out?
so I have an almost 1 yr old and almost 3 yr old birthdays are in april and may. Anyways I want to have another baby already and my husband doesn’t think I can handle pregnancy with two lil ones. But I take care of them most of the day and I think I can do it, but i don’t know how to convince him anymore lol. He doesn’t think I can do it bc i had quite a bit of pain withh my last pregnancy with ligaments but midwife said thats normal to have a lil more pain with each pregnancy. So how bad is it with 2 lil ones and being pregnant?? I also had my last birt all natural no drugs and feell i could handle more pain haha. I am a lil scarred of being tired with two lil ones can anyone give me some insight on being pregnant with 2 lil ones??

Currently, I have a daughter that will be 3 in July, one that is about to turn 15 months & I’m almost 6 months pregnant with our 3rd daughter. The 1st trimester was rough bc of the fatigue, it was difficult to keep up with the kiddos & housework but my 2nd trimester was super easy. My daughters are great & pretty much understand that sometimes we have to have a lazy day bc mommy’s not up to do too much. My husband has helped as much as he can (he works nights & 60+ hours a week). I’m glad I’ll have my kiddos so close in age, by the time I have my 3rd, I’ll have 3 under 3 but I think it’ll be beneficial in the long run.

I’m 14 and hate my boobs! I NEED implants?!?
I’m 14, 4’10, 87 pounds, 32A and look like I’m 10 years old. Having non-existent boobs makes me feel so ugly and unsecure. I mean, guys have MOOBS bigger than me, that’s rediculous.
My mom is DD and says anyone under C needs to invest in a boob job. She says that about her friends, model, anyone and everyone. I’m pretty sure I’m not growing, ive already been menstating for a year.
How bad Is plastic surgery? My mom has had 2 nose jobs, liposuction on her but and thighs(thighs got smaller and but bigger), and tummy tuck. (her boobs are real, they were B before pregnancy but since she got the fat sucked out and took pills to lose weight she kept her DD’s). So I’m guessing it’s not that bad. I also have had anestesia for a 5 hour non-cosmetic surgery and it wasn’t bad.
Do you think my mom would say yes? My mom once told me a story about this girl whos parents got her a nose job when they were in highschool, and she looked great after and if her daughter ever hated her nose that bad she’d get her one.
I don’t really want one, and wish it was natural. But I’m not that lucky so what advice do you have? Should I wait or ask for it at 16?
Michelle answers:
You are only 14…. You grow until early adult hood! Give it time. Don’t get a boob job because your mom has a self esteem issues. Plus you have to get them redone every 5 yrs or something. When you have kids your breast will get bigger as well. You are only 14, I started my period around 13 as well and my boobs grew! Your mom is teaching you to hate the way you are made and that’s not fair for her to do that to you.
Sandra asks…
Why am I having this nausea for so long and can’t get rid of it?
First of all, I am 19 years old and I’ve been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I was 16-17 when I got this diagnosis and the only tests I took were some physical exams, the doctors only touching/pressing on my abdomen. (I am not a woman. Just to exclude the possibility of pregnancy)
Ok, so about 3 years with stool being hard to pass out. A few nausea here and there but they quickly passed. I started to accept the constipation and my quality of life was getting better and better… Now, even though I still have this constipation that doesn’t wants to leave me at all costs, after getting this 7h/day job, I’ve been developing that nausea symptom. I quitted that job after 3 months of working mostly everyday (with a very few days free), staying on foot and watching a store to prevent theft.
It’s almost everyday, sometimes it’s easy on me, sometimes is really struggling to get food I’ve eaten out. I’ve also developed an emetophobia since I was like 12-13 y.o., and since then, I always try to suppress nausea so that it doesn’t get to its next “stage”. I even hate thinking about that word, not just writing it down.
I’ve had a quick endoscopy a week ago, but the doc didn’t found anything; said it’s even better than he expected. He prescribed me 2 sets of medications that are to be taken every 2 weeks. 2 weeks of Controloc (Pantoprazole) Motilium (Domperidonum) and Duspatalin (anti spastic for IBS based on Mebeverine). The other is based on Controloc, Duspatalin, Bilichol (natural, for the liver) and Debridat (Trimebutine).
The symptoms don’t seem to get better, sometimes even worsen. So, any idea what could the causes actually? I’ve been tested for parasites too, no sign of any.
Thank you!
Domperidone is not banned here. I don’t live in the US.
