- Skin Rash
I am a “born-in-the-USA” White American. As a student of Mandarin I have many friends who are Chinese.
A few years ago I came down with some skin rash which soon spread all over my body. I went to a dermatologist who could not identify it and put me on antibiotics and some topical creams. The condition did not improve and the dermatologist sent me to see a “specialist”. He did many tests, including scrapings, immuno-fluorescence, and biopsy but he too had no answers, nor cures, for me. I suffered with this condition for more than 3 months, and spent more than $3000 on “specialists”, but to no avail.

Clear Up Acne
1. Try Creams and Lotions
You may be able to clear up mild acne with over-the-counter creams or lotions. These products work by drying up oil, killing bacteria and helping your skin slough off dead cells. Pick them up in any drugstore. Look for items with active ingredients that include benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid or lactic acid. If your acne doesn't respond to over-the-counter products, you may need prescription creams or lotions such as Tretinoin (Avita, Retin-A, Renova) and adapalene (Differin). Topical antibiotics might also be in order. These products work alone or together to kill excess skin bacteria, promote cell turnover and prevent plugging of hair follicles. Ask your doctor or dermatologist if these products might work for you.
2. See Your Doctor for Medications

Foods that make your skin glow – Beauty – Life & Style
Want to save a bundle and improve your skin? Load your shopping cart with nutrients that have been shown to possess skin-hydrating, sun-protecting, and even wrinkle-preventing powers, says Manhattan dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD.
Here's her grocery list of the best foods for your skin:
Firm and bright You're probably up to your eyebrows with the mantra “eat more fruits and vegetables.” But if you've yet to take that advice to heart, maybe knowing that they prevent wrinkles will do the trick.The skin doc's three top picks: sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and cantaloupe.What they do: Replenish your skin's supply of antioxidants, so they're ready to scarf up free radicals whenever they make an appearance. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules that damage cells and contribute to just about everything that can go wrong with skin, from dryness to wrinkles.
Acne products that really work
A FRIEND RECENTLY CAME TO me for advice regarding her sudden acne breakout. And when it comes to dishing advice on skin flare-ups, Ive always been practical and straightforward: See a dermatologist if over-the-counter products dont work; ditch the salicylic acid in place of benzoyl peroxide if youre allergic to the former (and also toss the latter if its irritating your skin); check your laundry detergent and regularly wash your bed sheets, check for hormonal fluctuations with your doctor, and so forth.
But because of pricey derma clinics in the US, in the last two years, Ive experimented with reasonable acne treatment alternatives that are available at beauty counters.

Perfect Skin Dos and Don’ts

5 Dos and 5 Don’ts to Help Slow the Aging Skin Process
Maybe you're in your 20s or early 30s and you think you can't possibly have (gulp) aging skin yet. Well, you're wrong. Your skin's 'youthfulness' has less to do with age than how it's been treated, so if exposed to sun, smoke and stress, your skin will start ‘acting old,’ losing collagen, glow and elasticity. Lines will develop and pores can seem more pronounced. It's easier to prevent damage than to repair it but the good news is you CAN reverse skin damage.
