It is not to be used on face. Pimples, also known as acne, are primarily caused by a combination of factors involving the skin's oil glands, hair follicles, bacteria, and hormonal changes. Here are some of the common causes of pimples: 1. Excessive sebum production: sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it can clog the hair follicles, leading to the formation of pimples. 2. Clogged pores: the hair follicles or pores can become clogged with dead skin cells, dirt, and other debris. When this happens, it creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, causing inflammation and resulting in pimples. 3. Bacterial activity: the skin is home to bacteria, including propionibacterium acnes (p. Acnes). This bacterium feeds on the sebum produced by the skin and can multiply rapidly in clogged hair follicles, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples. 4. Hormonal changes: hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can increase sebum production and alter the normal functioning of the skin. This hormonal imbalance can contribute to the development of pimples. 5. Diet: while the relationship between diet and acne is not fully understood, some studies suggest that certain foods, such as high-glycemic-index carbohydrates and dairy products, may worsen acne in susceptible individuals. However, more research is needed to establish definitive links. 6. Stress: stress can aggravate acne or contribute to its development. High-stress levels may increase inflammation in the body, leading to acne flare-ups. 7. Medications: some medications, such as corticosteroids, androgenic steroids, and certain anticonvulsants, may cause acne as a side effect. 8. Cosmetic products: certain makeup, skincare products, and hair styling products that are comedogenic (tend to clog pores) can contribute to the development of pimples. It's important to note that the causes and severity of acne can vary from person to person, and treating acne effectively often requires a tailored approach based on individual factors. If you're experiencing persistent or severe acne, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

How long does pre-ejaculation fluid survive on finger? I heard there is the presence of sperm in it. In google there's multi type answer. Some say sperm exist in pre ejaculation fluid and some does not. Apparently I was having sex for the first time with my gf. Not vaginal sex as I was extremely scared to do it. It's just that she was doing it with hand only. It was mutual. So I guess some pre ejaculation fluid came out and just a tiny drop touched her finger. She then immediately wiped it with tissue. Later on, around 10 minutes, she touched her vagina with the same finger. Will that lead to pregnancy? She's a virgin. It happened on 27th of december. Her period started on 19th of december. A bit clear explanation will be extremely helpful. I'm stressing out too much. There's no symptoms also. Thank you!

Hello- how long sperm can live outside the body depends on the environment, but once sperm is dried, it is no longer viable. On skin or other surfaces, sperm can live between 15 and 30 minutes. In hot tubs or bath water, this lifespan decreases to a few seconds or minutes. Pre-cum doesn't actually contain any sperm. However, it's possible for sperm to leak into pre-cum. Pre-cum is a lubricant produced by a gland in the penis, which is released before ejaculation. Semen may linger in the urethra after ejaculation and mix with pre-cum while it's on its way out.

If you are suffering from burning pain or tingling sensation in hands or feet; sharp shooting pain in legs; numbness in hands or feet, then you might be suffering from neuropathic pain. What is a neuropathic pain? Neuropathic pain is a special type of pain which occurs when there is damage to nerve fibres, which produces tingling or burning type of pain. It is of two types: 1. Peripheral neuropathic pain: it occurs when there is an injury to peripheral nerve fibres (a-delta or c-fibers) which carries pain sensation to the brain (thalamus) for interpretation. 2. Central neuropathic pain: it occurs due to sensitization of central pain interpreting mechanisms (thalamus) to falsely feel pain when peripheral nerve fibres are no longer sending pain impulses to them. Worldwide-estimates of the prevalence of neuropathic pain is 7% i.e. 7 persons out of 100 people are suffering from different types of neuropathic pain. Symptoms: •tingling sensation or feeling of ants crawling under skin •burning sensation •sharp shooting pain or electric current-like sensation •stabbing pain •dull pain with numbness or heaviness reasons for neuropathic pain: •diabetes mellitus: most common cause worldwide due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels, causing damage to nerve fibres. •alcohol consumption/cigarette smoking: damage to nerve fibres or damage to blood vessels supplying nerve fibres. Burning pain in feet •neck pain/low back pain/glutei pain •vit. B12 deficiency •chemotherapy for cancer patients •post-herpes virus infection •post-spine surgery •post-amputation •diseases like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, hiv, lead toxicity, etc. Special neuropathies: 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome: tingling, burning sensation in hand which occurs due to compression of median nerve in the wrist area. It occurs in women especially due to pregnancy, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc. And in men due to improper position of the wrist during working on computers. 2. Cervical radiculopathy: pain in neck and shoulder region (which increases with neck movements), along with sharpshooting pain radiating from neck to hand occurs in cases of cervical radiculopathy. This is due to compression of the cervical nerve root by disc prolapse, facet subluxation, muscle spasm, trauma, etc. 3. Lumbar radiculopathy: pain in lower back or glutei region with sharp shooting pain radiating from hip to leg/foot region, occurs in cases of lumbar radiculopathy or sciatica. This is due to compression of lumbar nerve root or sciatic nerve by disc prolapse, facet joint, trauma, hypertrophied ligamentumflavum, piriformis syndrome, etc. 4. Meralgiaparesthetica: tingling or burning sensation in front of the thigh, occurs due to compression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh, near waist region. Usual causes are tight or constrictive clothing at waist region, prolonged sitting, protuberant abdomen, etc. Prevention of neuropathy: 1. Avoid alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. 2. Maintain ideal body weight/bmi (body mass index) 3. Lifestyle changes: daily exercises (>30 minutes per day) or brisk walking or swimming; avoid prolonged sitting or standing (>30 minutes). 4. Food/diet should have following components: •green vegetables e.g. Spinach, fenugreek leaves (methi), radish, etc •coloured vegetables e.g. Tomato, carrot, capsicum (green/red), ladies-finger (bhindi) •milk products e.g. Milk, buttermilk, curd, cheese (paneer) •protein-rich foods e.g. Fish, egg, chicken, pulses (daal) •fibre-rich foods e.g. Bran, oats, brown-rice •fruits e.g. Apple, orange, guava, papaya, pomegranate, berries 5. Blood sugar control (in diabetics) 6. Care of feet: •regular inspection of feet (with mirror) •comfortable, well-fitted shoes •regular consultation with a podiatrist •treatment of wounds, foot deformities 7. Adequate sleep 8. Warm water bath (increases blood flow to the affected area) treatment: •consult pain medicine specialist. •neuropathic painkillers e.g. Amitriptyline, pregabalin, gabapentin, capsaicin, duloxetine, etc. •vit. B12 supplements, anti-oxidants, multi-vitamins. •transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) •acupuncture •relaxation and yoga •neural prolotherapy.

Hello- stretch marks on the penis are normally caused by the skin stretching and expanding. The aforementioned pregnancy is a good example. Other examples include bodybuilders who put on a lot of muscle quickly, kids going through puberty who grow very fast during a short period of time, or those who put on a great deal of weight over a short period.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. These factors can trigger or aggravate acne: hormones, certain medications, diet, stress. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided. Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It’s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil. For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin. Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Yeast and yogurt mask for oily skin--oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. Consult online for medicinal part.
