You have to watch constantly which soap is allergic to your eyes & nearby skin. Don't use any cosmetic on that day when you change your soap. When there is no reaction then use one cosmetic on that day .if no reaction then use second cosmetic & see the reaction. First you have to find out the allergen then only medicines can be prescribed.

Harmful fairness creams Did you know that most fairness creams have active ingredients like mercurous chloride, which acts as as a bleach and causes all the harm to your skin. Moreover, the high levels of steroids in fairness creams can cause sensitivity, redness and thinning of skin. Constant use of these fairness products can harm your skin and make your skin sensitive to light that cause blisters, sun burns and itchiness whenever you go out in the sun. Caution: fairness creams can only work to a certain extent. The fact is fairness products can only reduce tan and and restore the natural skin tone. Overuse of some skin-whitening products can also lead to severe skin damage. PIMPLES-An inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin that is marked by the eruption of pimples or pustules, especially on the face. A comedo is a clogged hair follicle (pore) in the skin.[1] Keratin (skin debris) combines with oil to block the follicle.[2] A comedo can be open (blackhead) or closed by skin (whitehead), and occur with or without acne.[2] The word comedo comes from Latin to suggest the worm-like look of a blackhead that has been secreted.[3] The plural of comedo is comedones.[3] The chronic inflammatory condition that usually includes both comedones and inflamed papules and pustules (pimples) is called acne.[2][4] Infection causes inflammation and the development of pus.[1] Whether or not a skin condition classifies as acne depends on the amount of comedones and infection.[4] Comedones should not be confused with sebaceous filaments. When the sebaceous glands in the skin produce excessive sebum (oil), the skin becomes excessively oily and you will develop acne, pimples, pores, white heads, and black heads. Oily skin can be caused by genetics, dietary choices, too much stress or hormone changes in the body, during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause and while taking birth control pills. Those who have this condition usually have shiny skin and large pores. Homoeopathy has good treatment for your problem without adverse effects.

Milk and cheese Soy milk—Nuts/pulses/ lentils/beans and green peas-all have proteins. As vegetarian, you can have all these items. You have tur dal, moog dal, udat dal, chana dal, mutter, rajma--and many other such proteins. In winter, you can have dry fruits which are seeds. Proteins are required- * to build and repair muscle. * to revive fat-burning metabolism and reducing the hunger * to slow the release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, which can prevent the sudden spikes in blood sugar that are thought to encourage fat storage and sagging energy levels. Next question is---How much protein from the food can be incorporated into proteins in the body. The point is --you may eat lots of proteins. Are sure all these proteins are absorbed into your body? If you have adequate physical exercise, your digestion and capacity to absorb the proteins into the system will greatly improve. Then only, the real benefit of taking proteins will come to you. Eating proteins is as important as vigorous exercise to absorb the protein. *Better to go for natural proteins than processed foods. Processed foods have chemicals added in the process, preservatives, colouring chemicals to make them attractive. These chemicals are not friendly to your system. SKIN Treatment--The skin disease is tenacious and takes some time to start the curative process. Needs close monitoring and review of prescriptions from time to time based on the response One of the reasons is wetness due to sweat in the area.

With homoeopathic treatment, it softens and pain reduces. Then it opens up on maturity and pus comes out on its own without any incision. It will heal thereafter. You may consult privately Over time, the area becomes firm, hard, and increasingly tender. Eventually, the center of the boil softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells from the bloodstream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head, which can be surgically opened or may spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin. Pus enclosed within tissue is referred to as an abscess. A boil is also referred to as a skin abscess. Boils can occur anywhere on the body, including the trunk, extremities, buttocks, or other areas. We have good homoeopathic treatment without adverse effects. The medicine acts internally, tackles the root of the problem. If the boil is about to form, it will subside.

Scabies Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei. It is common all over the world, and can affect anyone. Scabies spreads quickly in crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people. Hospitals, child-care centers, and nursing homes are examples. Scabies can easily infect sex partners and other household members. Sharing clothes, towels, and bedding can sometimes spread scabies. This can happen much more easily when the infested person has crusted scabies. You cannot get scabies from a pet. Pets get a different mite infection called mange. Symptoms are •Pimple-like irritations or a rash •Intense itching, especially at night •Sores caused by scratching

Hie lybrate-user. I can suggest you some natural remedies first for overcome through anxiety. You can try these things and if didn't work then you can consult some Psychologist of Your near by Area for face to face consultation they can guide you well for this. Anxiety before Meeting Someone New (Online friend/ First Date):- Try reaching the venue well in advance. Think about the possible topics/ questions you can ask. (The Art of Pre-Mortem) Look around and make yourself comfortable. Then, watch your date/friend walk through the door. Scan them within 3–5 seconds and try looking for some “physical imperfections”. (The Unethical Hack) Doing so will make you feel that he/she is equally flawed as you are. It will ease out the anxiety that has primarily stemmed out of the fear of being judged/disliked by that person. If you have followed point 2, you know where and how to begin the conversation. It thereby will ease out the anxiety of sounding “socially awkward”. Random Anxiety Attacks (Isolated in a room):- Start doing 3–5 set of pushups/any vigorous exercise. Continue doing so, until you are exhausted. It releases the hormone dopamine and makes you feel good about yourself. The Dopamine Effect therefore, stops an anxiety attack. Random Anxiety Attacks (Outdoors):- The best way to check an anxiety attack in public is to start a random conversation with a stranger. Doing so, breaks the chain of negative thoughts that was the reason for the anxiety attack in the first place. Anxiety before “Public Speaking” event:- Use 5–2–5 breathing technique, before walking up to the Stage) ~Check Edit1 (below) If a dais is available, drink water slowly and look across the room. (Estimation of the crowd.) If the dais is unavailable, for the first 10–15 seconds, keep your eye focused on the last row of the crowd. (Anxiety levels drop drastically at this stage) At this point, turn your head and trying making adequate eye contact. Anxiety Before a “Phone Interview”:- 1 hour prior to the interview, recollect all your failures in life. (The Solitary Confession) Speak out whatever runs is in your mind. Convince yourself that losing out on this job is not going to make much difference to your life. (The Self-Talk Therapy) Doing so, will bring down drastically the level of hormone cortisol, responsible for cloudy thinking. (The Cortisol Effect) Since you have nothing to lose now, you will have a clear, cut and crisp rational mind. Go and grab a bite of your favourite food and reward yourself. (The Dopamine Effect) I cracked my first ever phone interview for “TEACH FOR INDIA” using the said technique Edits:- 5–2–5 Breathing technique:- Inhale air for 5 seconds and hold it for 2 seconds and imagine all the thoughts of failure going out while you exhale. Keep your eyes closed during this whole process. All the above methods have been tried and tested by me. It worked wonders for me and I hope it works for you too. 1. The ‘Do it Anyway’ approach to dealing with fear Surprisingly this is the most common advice to dealing with social anxiety, it’s also the most controversial in my opinion. For smaller tasks you do that have fear, this advice will work fine. For larger more ‘paralysing’ fear, this approach is pure hell to watch people go through. As adults we become slightly insensitive to the emotions and experiences that have happened to us in childhood. Most people pass them off as ‘no big deal’, but as adults we forget the complexity of emotions and how they can change the way a child sees the world. If you’ve ever seen a child get lost in the supermarket, it’s pure hell for them because children don’t know that they will get through it, and they don’t know how to see the situation from a larger perspective. The more I practise hypnosis, the more sensitive I become to how fragile people’s realities really are. When people think about walking over and talking to somebody and they become paralysed, they are dealing with a lifetime of experience that has proved that people are unpleasant to talk to. As adults we know this is not true, but our belief system says otherwise. I’ll give you an extreme example to show you why this method is ineffective. Post Traumatic Stress is an anxiety disorder that happens from a traumatic experience like a car crash, rape, or returning home from war. Most people who go through a traumatic event will display the same symptoms as somebody with PTSD, but will fade over time. Somebody with PTSD will constantly re-experience the detail throughout their day and will be plagued by anxiety. The soldier will keep playing the graphic details of bullets flying everywhere and seeing his friends dying. By telling somebody to ‘deal with it’ they are effectively telling the soldier to rerun through the battle, and watch it over and over again. This is why this method is painful to watch people go through. It’s like being forced to watch an intense horror movie over and over again in a cinema. I’ve used PTSD as an extreme example because it illustrates the point clearly. Social anxiety may not be as intense as PTSD but because people are replaying a life’s worth of unsuccessful interactions with people over and over again it’s easy to understand why people have so much fear about being social. This is why people using this method to deal with their fear are constantly struggling with motivational issues and create elaborate excuses about not doing the task. 2. Reframe the experience from anxiety to excitement There’s a lot of truth to this method, the only difference between a sensation and an emotion is that an emotion is a sensation with a thought attached to it, either good or bad. We make a decision and judge whether it’s good or bad, and this is influenced off our past experiences. In the movie Big Daddy, Adam Sandler has to baby sit his friend’s kid. There’s a scene where the kid is on a school excursion and he goes to the bathroom and he wets his pants. The kid is hiding in the bathroom worried about what will happen when he walks outside dreading the torment that will come from his peers. To help the boy, Adam’s character walks into the bathroom, splashes water on his pants and walks outside with him. They boy is empowered because he isn’t the only person any more. If we wet ourselves in public, it could be seen as embarrassing, or it could be seen as comedic moment that has brought a smile to a crowd of people. The emotions fear and excitement are indistinguishable, the only difference between anxiety and excitement is the way we look at it. It’s the same as pessimism vs optimism. This is a useful way of looking at the physical energy and the experiences in life and it’s a great way to add positive resources into negative events. When people experience an intense rush of physical energy in their body, they still need a way of burning it off. This will be the next article I’ll be writing about. 3. Mindfulness Mindfulness is a type of meditation that has been around for about 3000 years and extends from key Buddhist principles. Mindfulness has been covered in the media quite a bit, Olympians have used it to stay motivated, Steve Job was an active practitioner of mindfulness, Fortune 500 companies in the US have been developing their ownMindfulness programs because of the productivity increase. Mindful meditation has been described as the ‘sit and observe’ meditation, it involves paying attention to the sensations that are happening around you in a given moment, rather than being on autopilot. When people experience fear, they do an internal search in their body and check what the emotion is and they check each part of their body for the tension and the stiffness and that is what they pay attention to. There is an interesting phenomenon known as The Law of Attention. Whatever we focus our attention on will grow, and we tend to find things that we look for. If you’re riding a bike and you see a rock in front of you, you end up hitting it because that’s what your attention has zoned in on, and you forget about all the space around the rock where you can redirect the bike to. The same thing happens when people have fear, they forget about all the comfort in other areas of their body (like their feet), if you were to focus on that comfort as a guide and realise that the anxiety will end soon. For people who are not used to pushing through fear or anxiety, they get caught up “oh no, I have it again” and they let it paralyse them. When people are doing a task, they do a quick internal check inside their body and basically ask them self “what emotion do I have” and when they notice the fear, they freak out and that causes more fear. With mindfulness, you can notice the fear, and pay attention to a different sensation inside the body, or just observe the fear in your body. Mindfulness is also the most scientifically researched type of meditation. This is of interest to us because it has been shown to decrease the size of the amygdala, the part of the brain that switches on fear. As the amygdala shrinks, the GABA fibers that link to the pre frontal cortex become thicker and give you increased control of awareness and concentration and this is what teaches a you to be more focused on the present moment, rather than caught up in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. This is where we start seeing real change, if you do mindfulness for 20 minutes a day, you will see dramatic improvements in your life, you will be happier, you will be able to think clearer and you will be more creative. Mindfulness is extremely useful for dealing with situations where you have fear. 4. Hypnosis Most people are sceptical about hypnosis – that’s not the case, here is the scientific proof that hypnosis works and actually changes the brain. There are two ways to go about achieving results with hypnosis, self hypnosis or seeing a hypnotherapist. Both will get you the same results, the only difference is that self hypnosis will take longer because you have to learn hypnosis, and you have to learn therapy or understand how to work with emotional issues like failure, guilt and anger and fear. Hypnosis is basically mindfulness on steroids and you will achieve results much faster than any other method. Hypnosis combines the attentional manoeuvres of mindfulness and the therapeutic aspects allow you to remove the pain and doubts from your past experiences. This means your perception of events changes from pain to pleasure, as motivation is automatically built into the process. People receive an emotional pay off from being social, studies have shown that people who socialise regularly are happier, studies have also shown that people who buy experiences are happier than people who buy things. The motivational pay off occurs by completing the task. If you go to a party, the reward is the fun times and stories you create, if it’s walking up to a stranger on the street, you might end up having a date with them. Hypnosis will allow you to cheat and create reference experiences where you don’t have any yet. There is a process called Deep Trance Identification, which is a specific mental rehearsal of a task or event that primes your mind for success as it allows you to create certainty in situations that are unexpected or dealing with ‘the worst situation possible’. Using Deep Trance Identification you can build the muscle memory that’s required to perform each task. When people talk about high performance states, they normally describe the process as ‘happening automatically’ or ‘happening without thinking’ – this is basically describing the process of trance, which is exactly what you do with hypnosis. When you enter a trance, your behaviour switches to automatic mode and you complete the task. A common example is when you’re out for dinner with friends, you’re able to create an engaging conversation between the two of you and you’re able to eat and manipulate cutlery without getting food all over yourself, and you don’t need to think about things you’re doing, it all just seems to flow naturally and easily Thank You All The Best.

After going through your symptoms and history, you might be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). It is commonly seen in software engineers or those who use computers/ mobiles/ tabs constantly for a long duration. Here are a certain tips I suggest which you bring relief to your symptoms. 1. Minimize the glare from the screen to an optimum level or use an antiglare coated screens on iPad/ laptops/ desktops/mobiles. 2. Blink frequently. We invariably tend to blink less when focussing on the screen. Make sure you blink frequently so that there is adequate tear secretion and lubrication to the eyes which will prevent dryness and the problems associated with it. 3. To reduce your risk of tiring your eyes by constantly focusing on your screen, look away from your computer/ mobile at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet away) for at least 20 seconds. 4.Use cooling glasses to protect your eyes from the radiation from your system. 5. These symptoms tend to aggravate during summer. So you can use lubricating eye drops such as Refrest tears eye drops or Tears naturale forte eye drops which will be available over the counter. I hope these remedies will help you alleviate your symptoms.
