Well friend, you are currently faced with your own mortality. I can open by saying, don't panic. I began losing my hair about the age of 20, it's not all gone, but it has definetly receeded noticably. The little red pimples, I get those too. Best bet is to leave them alone, don't touch em. That makes them painful when you fiddle with them. You will find now that you have a child, your hair will fall out faster and turn grey. You are going to be fine. Sunshine helpe alot with the zits and rash, even if you have to go to the fake and bake tanning place, get some sunlight on your skin.

don't worry...  do this exactly and it will work for you!!\n1.) wash your hands often and AVOID touching your face with your hands.\n2.)get yourself some Dove white unscented soap bar and some facial creme (i use O'lay) and a bottle of body creme..  (Quench is pretty good stuff).. you can get all this at the grocery store.\n3.) everytime you take a shower, make it a routine that after you shampoo and condition your hair (or if you leave the conditioner in for a while) keep a hair tie handy and pull your hair back into a half pony tail so you can get it outta the way.  take your bar of soap..  (i had a top notch dermo and she always recommended the Dove white soap for the face) get a good lather and gentle rub circles all around your face.. then take a lathered wash cloth and gently rub in circular motions over your face and neck.  \n4.)finish your shower and this is important.. pat dry your face and neck with your towel moving along your skin until dry.\n5.) super important.. now that you've washed your face w/ soap and essentialy stripped the skin of any of it's natural oils, it's time to replace the Ph balance to avoid excessive dryness and or extremely oil skin.  \n6.)whip out the facial cream and gently use your first 2 finger tips to apply the creme to your face.  start at the forehead and make sure that you get all the creme rubbed in until entirely absorbed into the skin.  then work in sections until your entire face and neck has been completely and evenly mosturized.\n7.) you should do the same for the skin on the rest of your body.. keep it nourished and it will look and fee and most importantly be healthy and glowing.  **avoid fried foods as well** good luck!! :)

I, too, am 21 and i have lost about 20-25 pounds in apporximately six months. I've had no problem extra skin. If you want to lose 30 pounds, i wouldnt worry about excess skin. Youre young and your skin will bounce back. Especially if you lose weight in a healthy and timely manner. To avoid anykind of sagging skin, try drinking a lot of water to keep your skin hydrated so that, while you lose weight, it'll keep it's elasticity and wont sag.\nGood Luck!

I'm 32 and I still break out with my period. It totally sucks. Like being on your period isn't bad enough! The breakouts are caused by hormones. See your gynecologist - he can prescribe a birth control (Ortho Tricyclen) that will actually help with break outs, or a mild antibiotic that will help keep your skin clear. Also, just keep taking care of your skin and drink lots of water everyday. Unfortunately, some things you just have to deal with.

you need to have a regimen of strict exercise that tighten the skin . Failure of that, you will need to consult a cosmetic surgeon.

Are you related to Michael Jackson?\nKidding ,\nMaybe you are spending less time in the sun?\nDid you move to a cooler climate, or further north?\n\nPossibly, you are deficient in your nutrition.  Have you changed your diet, or started on a new medication?\n\nYou should see a dermatoligist, to rule out a serious condition.

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

You probably have oily skin. They're called pores. Use oil free makeup and moisturizers. and wash your face twice a day. See a dermatologist if you start getting pimples.

Because you have cleansed all of the natural oils from your skin that make it smooth and elastic. Just apply moisturizer when it feels like this. You also may want to consider a more mild face wash.

Stress also breaks me out terribly.  You should eat right, lots of veggies and water, get lots of sleep 8 to 10 hours minimum and also exercise. I noticed after i started getting at least 20-30 minutes of just walking a day, I feel less stressed and my face looks clearer.

I know this is easier said then done, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Ive had mine for 3 years now and I'm 32 and your body does go through changes all the time.  Just take a deep breath and relax and if things don't change in a week or so, then call a doctor.  I'm a Paramedic and a woman, so just tryin to help 8-)

I was in the same boat you are in. I am 26 and still struggle with acne. I have not totally eliminated my acne, but was able to reduce the breakouts and lighten some of the scarring by following the regimen outlined on acne.org. I also use a fade cream called Topiclear Number One (it has helped a lot). I still a way to go before I have totally clear skin, but the advice on acne.org has really helped me.\n\n***It kills me that people assume that your skin condition is associated with not drinking enough water or poor eating habits. Acne is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. If you have acne, it won't matter what you eat or how much water you drink.
