Does the little flap of skin on the bottom/back of a cats ear have any purpose?

If so what is it?


If you ever look at a cats ear up close you'll see what I mean.Does the little flap of skin on the bottom/back of a cats ear have any purpose?
*Pondering* The folds of the outer ear--the pinna--seem gratuitous, a waste of cartilage and skin. But they are, some Dutch researchers have found, crucial to our ability to pinpoint the vertical location of sounds--whether they come from above us, below, in front, or behind.





When a sound wave enters the outer ear, it bounces around the pinna's ridges. Some frequencies are enhanced, others diminished, with the pattern of those changes determined by the particular shape of the pinna. Since everyone's pinnae are different, so is the acoustic stamp placed on sound entering the brain.





One would have to believe it is the same for felines...Does the little flap of skin on the bottom/back of a cats ear have any purpose?
Wow you must be the biggest idiot it if you cant read details and see that the question i asked was a joke Report Abuse

I know exactly what your talking about....don't think it has any purpose but can't be sure.
GREAT QUESTION!





Unfortunately, I have no clue. I'm putting this on my watch list, though, because I am really interested if anyone knows...
Yes, it does have a purpose. It enhances their hearing. It helps to magnify sound waves toward the eardrum.

How can I brighten my skin, or at least fake it looking bright and radiant?

I really want my skin to look dewy and fresh, but it never does, I look after it well and it's clear but it isn't very pinky/radiant - what make up tricks are there to getting the fresh faced look?





Thanks


xxxHow can I brighten my skin, or at least fake it looking bright and radiant?
Ok here's a few tips and you can pick and choose the ones you like.





1. Drink water with every meal instead of juice/pop.


2. Aim to eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day


3. Follow a cleansing and toning routine (I like Lush Cosmetics)


4. Buy a moisturiser that does not clog pores


5. Try benefits High Beam or Moon beam on your cheek bones (or Next do a set of two similar products for 拢5 a pair).


6. Use a peach or pink blusher.


7. Try a naturally oily cleanser for once a week moisture and vitamins (I like Lush's Babyface cleanser).


8. Wear dark brown mascara and eyeliner instead of harsh black to look more naturally radiant.How can I brighten my skin, or at least fake it looking bright and radiant?
Drink a glass of warm water with juice of half a lemon and a tsp of honey first thing in the morning. Take plenty of water, fresh fruits and vegetables to keep your bowels clear. Exercise or walk half and hour regularly in the fresh air. Automatically your skin will glow without any makeup. Stop worrying un-necessarily and think positive, it shows on your face. Smile a lot without crinkling your eyes..avoids lines around eyes!!





For the short term, use a good well matched foundation and avoid any face powder which makes the clear face look blothchy.
In the mean time that you do as the other respondents said (exercising, drinking lots of water, and thinking positively) try using Artistry庐 Time Defiance庐 Illuminating Essence. Its gotten great reviews from different websites and you get results in as little as 2 weeks!

How can I get flawless skin?

I need tips for virtually flawless skin. My skin type is oily, and I have large pores. What are some foods I could eat or some products I could use, any tips would be helpful, thanks.How can I get flawless skin?
http://skinfacts.blogspot.com/How can I get flawless skin?
If you want flawless skin, don't use too much make-up or don't use make-up at all. Make-up adds chemicals and can clog your pores. Using a cleanser or a natural soap to wash your face wouldn't be a bad idea either. Don't eat too much sweets and try not to put too many products on your face. Don't pop any pimples either. Hopefully ur on your way to having porcelain skin :-P
U couold use the Neutrogena Wave. IT helps clean your pores and make them smaller except as I've finally discovered you have to put moisturizer afterward because it makes it a little dry.The Wave also makes your skin produce less oily . Also drinking water would be good too.
Drink 8 glasses of water every day. Try J%26amp;J's Purpose Face Wash and use an oil free moisturizer like Purpose or Neutrogena.


There is a supplement called Imedeen, pricey but very effective.
A good face wash to use is Garnier Nutritioniste. It will dry your oily skin a little bit. Get the scrub and the face wash and alternater
Clean your face day and night. Proactive works. Or just a nice daily cleanser. and YES drink lots of water! it really helps! Almonds also help!!
Try papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are


available online. These work wonders.


Maybe it will work on you too.


Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'
Drink lots of water, wear sunscreen, take a multivitamin

no one have a flawless skin but i suggest that dont wear makeups
Stay out of the sun!! ALWAYS wear spf.

    Yes, pale.


    I already have a pale face, but my arms are tanned from the sun and such.


    How can i get them pale?How can i get my skin pale?
    Don't use lemon juice - or any other kind of citric juice. This is sometimes recommended for lightening hair, but as far as skin goes, it is just going to dry you out. Your skin will feel uncomfortably tight and possibly start to crack if you over do it.





    Whitening skin creams and sun screens are available - I would suggesting seeking advice at a pharmacy as to which of these products would suit you best. Don't bother with the home remedy stuff, it's a waste of time!





    P.s. Yes, and obviously, don't just try and lighten your skin. Make sure you are preventing it from getting darker. Sun screen, long sleeves, keeping out of the sun.





    Unfortunately I have the same problem as you - great pale skin but in comparison, my arms look kinda tanned. And it's from driving!!! I've started keeping sunscreen in my car.How can i get my skin pale?
    paint them
    not sure, call michael jackson
    -Put on sun screen, and stay out of the sun.


    -Use a lightening soap or lotion.


    -Apply lemon juice or milk on your skin 3 or more times a day. You skin will be lighter in a couple of weeks.


    However, your skin will probably turn back to it's original color in a couple of weeks, so you don't really have to do anything.


    -Wear protective clothing, such as long sleeves, pants, hats, and shoes that cover your feet.


    -Exfoliate your skin everyday.


    -You could also use skin bleach, but it's not healthy.
    Why dont you just tan your face... it makes that much more sense?
    Stay inside and wear long sleeves and pants.
    lemon is too acidic for the skin..


    try dermaline skin whitening cream or lotion..


    its safe and potent formula can get rid of dark skin spots or unwanted tan.
    you can come skin me and make a flesh coat...
    Don't go out in the sun.
    Lemon juice will make your skin pale.

    Can you give a german shepherd baths weekly without drying out their skin ?

    My shepherd is allowed to go in or out of the house as she pleases. She can get a little dirty at times. I have read online and in books that you should only bathe your gsd 4 times a year. How can I bathe her without any side effects?Can you give a german shepherd baths weekly without drying out their skin ?
    Dog soaps and shampoos weren't always as mild and gentle as they are now, so people were cautioned to bathe their dogs infrequently. You can bathe just about any dog once a week but not more often than that unless instructed to do so by your vet. Your main worries will be to keep shampoo out of the dog's eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and to rinse thoroughly, again avoiding the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Bathing will speed up the shedding process which can help because it means your dog will finish its seasonal shedding much faster. It is also a nuisance to have so much more hair than usual everywhere. Be sure to brush your dog well before the bath and again after he is dry. Daily brushing can keep a lot of hair off the floor. An important note: dog hair can clog up your plumbing so try to figure out a way to wash your dog outdoors or have a groomer do it. If there is a self service groom shop in your area, they are great, too (and very reasonably priced).Can you give a german shepherd baths weekly without drying out their skin ?
    If you bathe her more often than every 2 weeks you risk drying her skin out too much because you'll be washing away essential oils from her skin and coat. When you do bathe her use a gentle shampoo like aloe and oatmeal and if it's some dirt from her playing, just rinse her with water. You can also use unscented baby wipes to wipe her feet and coat.
    I think 4 times a year is a little bit extreme.


    Although once a week will def.


    wash out her natural oils and cause dry flaky skin.


    witch will be very irritating at itchy.


    I have 3 small dogs and i bath them once every 2 weeks..


    and there skin and fur is perfectly healthy and fine.


    no side effects what so ever.


    so i advise instead of weekly make it on a 2 week basis.


    Good Luck.

    No, That is way to much bathing for a dog.


    We have a Chow/Husky that is 3 years old. he has yet to need a bath.


    I brush him daily, he sleeps and lives indoors with us, and is not allowed out of the yard on his own. He does not smell, his hair is gorgeous and the only maintence that he needs outside of brushing is to have his nails cut and ears/teeth cleaned which we do ever 3-5 months.


    Dogs don't need bathing unless they roll in something, or get into Mud or dirt, etc. They keep themselves cleaned by grooming and they are very clean animals unless they are sick and can't care for themselves.
    I think you can bathe her bi-weekly and possibly just rinse of paws as needed. Do use a gentle dog shampoo and mild temperature water. If she gets too dry, then do once a month. In a pinch a wet wash cloth can get wipe dirty spots on face and under belly.
    If she is not completely messed up, they sell pet wipes that act just like baby wipes. You just wipe up the affected area and your good to go.





    Otherwise look for a very gentle puppy shampoo.
    I'd say any more than one every 2 weeks is bad...





    Maybe buy some wipes and brush her, hey thats what happens with long haired dog haha.
    If you feel you must bathe her often look for a good dog shampoo to help with the skin.

    What does it mean when you have high blood pressure and red skin?

    my mom has high blood pressure and her hands, face, and arms are constantly red...is that bad?What does it mean when you have high blood pressure and red skin?
    Sounds to me like you lack much pigment (melanocytes) in your skin. When you get cold, your blood vessels constrict to stay warm, and your skin turns blue/purple. When you move around or get warm, your vessels dilate and the blood vessels become more visible, turning you red.





    In the meantime, use a strong lotion or cream like ammonium lactate to help counteract the effects. Ammonium lactate helps moisturize and actually thickens the skin, so that will help. You won't feel your skin getting thicker, it's on a microscopic level, but it will help. Available at any drugstore.... Lac-Hydrin, Amlactin, etc. Cost you twenty bucks.





    Oh yeah, one more thing... Make sure you get enough iron in your diet.... If you have blue skin, it is also indicative of poor blood oxygen levels....What does it mean when you have high blood pressure and red skin?
    This could be caused by some food additive.





    You know, an allergy.





    Get her off fast food and salt.





    Don't let her have ANY diet sodas, they are


    sweetened with aspartame, an industrial


    poison.





    People in this country are being poisoned to


    death by the thousands with chemicals


    food and drug corporations put in their


    products.





    Feed her fruits and lots of distilled, (pure)


    water for a week and see if her color


    gets better.
    High blood pressure is known as the silent killer. Your mom needs a healthy diet... no more salty snacks, bad fats and high sugars. I know, it's worse than death... but that's the alternative.

    How do i cure rough skin on my face?

    I have a lot of bumps on my face. They're not pimples, they're really small and skin-coloured. I guess you could say i have a rough skinned-face. Are there any creams or anything to cure it?How do i cure rough skin on my face?
    wrinkle lotion, something with retinol or retin-a will help. also, mild toners and anti-acne creams, and a face scrub. DON'T use the ones made from fruits or seeds, as these can have rough edges and leave your skin irritated or worse off. stick with ones that have scrubbing ';beads.';





    don't forget to use non-comedogenic lotion. it will keep your skin moisturized and soft, without clogging your pores.





    also, consider going to a dermatologist or regular doctor and bringing this up with them. i'm sure there are many prescription products out there that will do the trick if over-the-counter options fail.How do i cure rough skin on my face?

    I have used Quikrete, mortar and other forms of cement and have never received burns from it. It will, however, dry your skin out VERY quickly (it absorbs the moisture). That will clear up by the next day though.





    Let 'em have fun as long as they aren't eating it.Can you get burns from mortar mix when it gets on your skin?
    yes cement burns are very painful ..web MD for more info. vinegar will remove the cement if there is no open sores

    When do you cleanse your skin in the morning?

    How do you wash your face with a face wash/cleanser in the morning? Do you wash your face upon waking up, right before your shower, in the shower, after your shower? I ask because typically I wash my face right before hopping in the shower, but with summer weather, I wake up feeling kind of sticky, and don't want to wait until after breakfast/other morning activities before washing my face.When do you cleanse your skin in the morning?
    I shower right away, first thing in the morning. Before breakfast. I don't really wash my face at all. I suppose I rely on the shampoo suds for facial cleansing. I use bar soap elsewhere but I rarley use it on my face.


    I don't have issues with dry skin or acne so I suppose my method's working for me.When do you cleanse your skin in the morning?
    I wash my face in the shower. I have this cleanser and moisturizer, so I keep the cleanser in the shoer, and the moisturizer on a countertop. When i get in the shower, wash my hair and then rub on the cleanser in circular motions with my fingers onto my face. I also have this like thing that rubs it in for me. But, you can try getting something like wave. They sell them at walmart for like $10.!


    but if u dont want to spend $ then just get a cleanser and a moisturizer, and put the cleanser on in the shower. and when u step out of the shower, pat dry our face with a towel and add a moisturizer!
    Well personally I do it in the shower and any other time that I think it needs to be washed basically. Like after putting on a bunch of make-up or working out. Just make sure that you do it every night before bed or else youll get pimples, blackheads etc.
    hey im a beauty theraptist and i cleanse tone and moisturise my face day and nite everyday i also exfloate weekly and steam 2 times a week to keep a healthy glow i also use other products to prevent any aging and im 18 never neva neva use soap xx
    weell i cleans my face when i wwake up and before going to sleep


    but wheni take showers, i cleanse my face, after the shower


    cuz i don't like all the shampoo and body wash go on my face, so i cleanse after shower.
    I only put some soap on my face in the shower.

    Why do people with acne get lower ratings than people with smooth skin?

    ACNE is only a temporary condition, so why must people be so shallow towards dating people who have it and stuff like that? Everyone gets it some time in their life. It's just pimples.Why do people with acne get lower ratings than people with smooth skin?
    People are just so shallow these days. All anybody seems to care about is outer appearance and many tend to neglect what really matters which is personality etc. For those who say acne is gross and that people who get it dont clean their face. That is wrong, maybe in some cases its true, but myself for instance I've used many over the counter products and I recently went to a doctor to get a prescription. I apply the cream and wash my face everyday and just because I have pimples doesn't mean I'm any less attractive then the next person. Also some girls cake their faces with make up, how that is attractive I dont know? At least people with acne have natural faces whether then a barbie doll one. At least some people dont care how others look, and go for the true inner beauty. Hopefully more people will become like that.Why do people with acne get lower ratings than people with smooth skin?
    because those people are shallow. plain and simple. i had bad acne that started in 5th grade and i'm only JUST starting to finally have clear skin (and i'm 26). i went to the dermatologist for years, was on pills, creams, did microdermabrasion ($200 a session!) and nothing worked. people are always quick to say that people with acne just dont wash their face, but they havent had to deal with all the issues. its genetic, hormone, and bacteria related and if someone is that shallow that they wont date you just cause you have bad skin then dont even deal with that loser. beauty is skin deep. and once you can see that you'll find beauty in people that most wont see and it makes you a better person.
    because pimples are just plain gross and nasty. And if you dont care enough to wash your face and take care of yourself.. then you are not ready for a relationship.


    ANd sometimes acne is forever..


    and some ppl are just to anal
    I think it goes back to very basic human instincts and laws of attraction. Acne free means you are healthier and therefor more attractive. Unhealthy is not attractive if it's acne or anything else. Animals do the same thing
    well, generally people are attracted to others who display signs of health and fertility. which means healthy size, smooth skin. etc.
    somes times acne is a perm. thing, and pimples are gross, those people need to take better care of there skin and have it treated
    I dont know but the boys at my school dont care if you have bumps but if you have 10 pimples on your face then that gross.
    b/c for a lot of people its not temp and leaves scars

    What the purpose of a Napoleonic age soldier to wear a bear skin hat and shako?

    To keep warm or protection? then why some of the bear skin hat so tall? And is the cuirass of the French Cuirassier really bullet Proof?What the purpose of a Napoleonic age soldier to wear a bear skin hat and shako?
    The hats were for neither warmth nor protection. Their main purpose (like most of the rest of uniforms) was display. Some hats - certainly the bearskins - had some slight potential benefit in combat. They added to the apparent height of the soldiers wearing them, making them look taller and therefore perhaps more menacing when attacking with a bayonet charge. And the thick fur and skin of the bearskin offered some protection from a slash by a sword.





    The cuirass was not bullet proof, but it would have been some protection against full penetration by musket balls, because they were made of relatively soft lead (not steel) and therefore had little penetrating power against hard objects. The curved surface of the cuirass would also allow some hits to glance off. And the cuirass offered good protection against a slashing cut from a cavalry sabre. Nevertheless, its main function was display.

    I have this face thing that clears my face, you might want to try it, unless you already did, but here, Clearasil. It works, it doesn't clear away right away, but it works. My face is clear from using it.


    Some people just go straight to doctors to talk to them, and ask them where can the get things. So try Clearisil, if you can't find it. Call your doctor. That's the best answer I can give you.
    Watch what you eat like avoid greesy foods. Keep your face clean. Use an astringent. A homeopathic one is use a wet green tea bag and rub it on your face at night befor you go to bed. By morning your acne should clear up. I tried this and it worked. Also, during the day, don't put your hands on your face. And, Bare Minerals make up helps cover it up as well as keep it away. Good luck.

    Is it bad for your skin to work out with plastic around your tummy?

    i heard it might damage the skin, but how. it sounds like a good idea to me.Is it bad for your skin to work out with plastic around your tummy?
    I don't see a problem with it, but it would be really gross after an hour or so and the plastic would constrict your movements. There are plastic suits you can buy to work out in. They are sold at stores like Walmart or Academy. They will allow you to sweat like wearing plastic wrap, but also allow your skin room to breathe.





    PS. Don't think this will help you loose additional weight. The only thing plastic does is help you loose water weight.





    Good luck!Is it bad for your skin to work out with plastic around your tummy?
    It's not a good idea.


    If you've heard that you'll loose more weight that way, it is true, but only because you're sweating. Which means you're loosing water weight, not real fat weight. And if you loose too much water weight, you will become dehydrated.





    Work out with out plastic wrap around you. It'll do the same thing, it'll just be less harmful and you won't feel like you just came out of the microwave.
    I would opt for the plastic wrap myself. Don't think plastic around your waist would be very comfortable for starters. Personally though I've never tried either but think I might try the warp today during my zumba class.

    How can I make my skin colour lighter?

    Oatmeal with honey %26amp; lemon will do wonders for brightening skin! ;] How can I make my skin colour lighter?
    I'm totally in agreement with you there. Try avoiding the sun whenever possible; if you do go out, wear clothing that covers you or SPF 50+ at least. I don't think there are any household products that will whiten skin, but there is a whole market of whitening skin products out there. Try searching Ebay to find out more, and look for online reviews about specific products before you buy.
    go to Hot Topic and they have a white foundation you can buy, it is like the same exact thing as tan foundation. I hate tan skin too I am extremely pale already so I don't us it but it is called like ';Goth Finish'; or something of that sort
    I'm pretty pale too. Darker colors make you look paler. You could also try some good foundation and not going out in the sun. Also, if you have a rosier face, it makes you look less white.
    Skin bleachers are inexpensive and can be found at most drug stores. As for household items, maybe lemon or peroxide.....
    hmm....let's see. You're a ******* IDIOT! Why would you want to do that? that's stupid. you were made that way for a reason. get over it.

    I think clean and clear is good. But I wouldn't use too much because spot and acne creams dry out your skin permanently and you will get wrinkles much sooner. Its Ok to use them sometimes during a really bad outbreak but otherwise I would steer clear of them if I was you. Clean and clear works for me, though.
    I actually use a precrition that my doctor gave me b/c my acne got really bad. I still use clean and clear just as a clenser the precription drymy skin out a little and take scare of the acne in about a week or two f I use it twice a day. I try going to your doctor. They can give you a good precription then. GOOD LUCK!!!!
    The best one I have used is Clean %26amp; Clear the 3 piece kit. The cleanser really helps remove oil and bacteria. The moisturizer really smoothens my skin and.. moisturizes it and the pimple thing removes the pimple in like a day!





    -hope this helps 鈾?(it helped me)
    Proactiv worked really well on my skin and i now use it every day and hardly ever see any blemishes!


    besides that i went to the dermatologist and got a heavy duty cream for really stubborn breakouts
    the best acne medication is called ZIA.





    its expensive, paraben-free, natural





    but works amazingly.

    I really like Proactive. Also I really like Neutrogena Acne Stress control face wash. I use the one with the beads in it because it tingles. It's made with green tea and really really works!
    Proactiv is pretty awesome. Neutrogena makes this stuff that comes in a blue bottle, it works pretty well.
    -clinique, soups lotions ect, pricey but you can feel the clean and it works
    i use Clean and Clear with the microbeads in the light blue tube...then i use ';Acne Free zit terminator'; it's in a small orange bottle tube
    Bare Minerals. It works wonders. I've used it for 3 years and I have no complaints.

    i use clean and clear mosturizer, it works
    talk to your doctor about it,


    they can prescribe something for you!

    Glytone. Best. Stuff. Ever. I am a walking bilboard for it. I had bad acne, and even went through Accutane. The Accutane treatment kept my skin clear for about three years, and then it broke out again. I tried EVERYTHING. Clinique, Sheseido, Origins, the list goes on, and Glytone was like using a magic wand.





    It's a glycolic product. You can buy it online at www.dermstore.com, or skinwest.com. I'm sure other sites have it as well. You can also get it from a dermatologist's office. You don't need an appointment or even have to be a patient to go in and buy products. I have gotten it from two different offices, and I am not a patient at either. I typed Glytone into yahoo local, and offices that sell it pop right up.





    I use the mild gel wash, and rejuvinate lotion twice a day. I started with rejuvinate step 1 at night only for the first week, and then moved to twice a day. My skin was crystal clear within a week. It will transform your skin. I seriously think it's a celebrity secret. The first week is rough. Your skin has to build a tolerance to glycolic acid, which is why the products come in steps. I didn't move to step 2 for about a year. It burns when you put it on, but it will go away in ten minutes or so. This means it is working! If over the counter stuff worked, we would all be walking around with perfect skin.





    The mild gel wash is $28, and will last six months. A little goes a long way. I also use it on my chest and back in the shower, and it still lasts that long. The rejuvinate lotion is $38 and lasts four to five months using it twice a day. Also, you need a good moisturizer with sunscreen for the day. I use Jan Marini antioxident daily face protectant spf 30. It's the best stuff that has ever touched my skin. It is expensive, but worth EVERY PENNY. I found it at a spa for $46. It's a glass bottle with yellow lotion. It will last six months. This last time, I actually found some on ebay for $35. I used it at the beach last August in very intense sun and did not burn.





    It's expensive to get started, but you don't have to replace anything for a very long time. Google Glytone and read up. It's amazing. Good luck!!





    oh, I also use an eye cream. I'm 28, and however old you are, if there is any advice I can offer, take care of your skin, you will stay looking younger. I am using Glytone eye cream, but La Roche Posay active C eyes is my favorite, I am going back to it when this one runs out. Both are around $30 and will last at least six months. It's your face, it's worth it! The first time someone said, ';you have really pretty skin';, I almost cried.

    I use lots of moisturizer. I've tried different brands of lotion and makeup. Foundation makes it show up worse.I have dry patches of skin around my mouth and cheeks. Any ideas why? What can I do?
    it sounds like a lack of vitamin b and riboflavin in your diet. try and eat more green veg and foods rich in vitamin ribofalvin such as eggs. Also, sometimes it is best not to put anything on it as it makes it worse.I have dry patches of skin around my mouth and cheeks. Any ideas why? What can I do?
    Sometimes it's not what you use on the outside but what you put on the inside. Try drinking more water. It worked for me.
    Eczema. My kids use cetaphyl. (Spelling?) Good luck.
    1] buy facewash, toner if you want, moisturizer and sunscreen for your face type. Use wash,toner, and sunscreen in AM, and wash, toner, and moisturizer in PM. Dab a bit of petroleum jelly on dry spots on night.


    2] Exfoliate every other day, gently but thoroughly, with Aapri or St. Ives apricot scrub.


    3] eat a quality diet - lean proteins, low fat dairy, whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid fried, fast, and junk food - even diet junk food.


    4] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day


    5] take a good multivitamin with minerals - sometimes a little bit does a lot!

    check out this article, I have used the make up remover before.What Is the best way to get Hair dye off of your skin?
    if it's still wet, use a damp, old, dark colored towel to wipe the spots off. If they won't come off, you'll just have to wait until they fade.





    oh, and they'll turn kinda purple-ish. haha. when i did my hair black, i had dark purple marks on my forearm for a few days.
    Scrub with a loofa and dish soap, it'll take about ten minutes to get it completely off.
    Vinegar, sure it smells but after vinegar use scented soap
    Rubbing alcohol! I've been dying my hair for 6 or 7 years and it always works wonders.

    Should I go to a skin doctor for boil problems or should I ask my regular doctor?

    I have a doctors appointmen tomorrow should I just bring it up, I have only has this boil for about 4 days. Should I wait for the skin doctor or ask my regular doctor tomorrow?Should I go to a skin doctor for boil problems or should I ask my regular doctor?
    By all means ask your regular doctor to have a look at it, and confirm it's a boil. You don't need a dermatologist to tell that- it's not an exotic skin disorder, it's a pretty common complaint well within the ability of a general care doctor. At the moment, there's not a lot either one can do or probably will do to it. Apply moist heat to the spot, hot as you can stand it, using a clean washcloth. Heat it in the microwave, take care not to scald yourself though. Hold it on the spot until it cools to lukewarm and repeat the process as many times and as often as you can. That will help it drain, usually within a few days. When you aren't putting heat on it, keep it covered with a bandaid. If it doesn't drain itself within a few days with the heat, then it's time for the doctor's help. He can incise and drain it in the office, and will likely give you antibiotics to stave off a worse infection starting in. Meantime, don't poke, prod or squeeze it at all. Just apply heat and leave your body to handle things.Should I go to a skin doctor for boil problems or should I ask my regular doctor?
    yes ask ur doc i am sure he will give you something for it a boil is not like a reoccuring skin condition but i am not a doctor so i could be wrong in saying that. I do no they make this stuff called boil ease and steeming or sitting in a bath with water as hot as u can stand it will help burst it and peroxide might help dry it up
    A boil is not serious.. ask your doctor tomorrow to check it out
    Ask you doctor tomorrow, and see if he can help, or if he should refer you to another specialist. Why pay to go to a dermatologist when your regular doctor may be able to help.
    Ask your regular Dr. about your boil. show the Dr your boil, he/she will direct you in the plan of action to take. Keep this appointment!

    What cat shampoo can I use for my kitten who has dry skin?

    she scratches a lot and sometimes chews her fur off. I do not think she has fleas, however she does seem to have some dandruff. I need her to stop itching because I think I'm becoming allergic to her dry skin..I broke out hives all over my body. I need to get my cat better so I can get better.What cat shampoo can I use for my kitten who has dry skin?
    Cats don't need to be washed. If she is itching she must have a parasite or be allergic to something. I doubt if you are specifically allergic to her dry skin.





    I have never seen a cat with dandruff.





    What stuff have you seen putting on her?What cat shampoo can I use for my kitten who has dry skin?
    Bathing would possibly make it worse.


    She's too young to bath, it probably is the food/diet.


    Allergic to an ingredient maybe.


    Try changing her food and adding a wee bit of olive oil.


    Consult vet if condition persists.


    Gd. luck.
    Please take your kitten to the vet to have her checked out for any type of skin disease. The scratching and chewing are not normal, so I'd hesitate to do anything that might make the condition worse. You might need to use a special medicated shampoo, or it could be something else entirely.





    Are you sure it was ';hives'; you had? If you weren't diagnosed by a doctor, it could have been something else. I've had hives and was told it was caused more by stress than external physical factors.





    Cats can get ringworm, which is really a fungus. This can be transferred to humans. The itch is unbelievable.





    Please get expert advice.
    She needs more Omega-3 fatty acids. Squeeze a capsule 1000 mg of salmon oil on her food once a week.
    The best thing you can do for your cat is take her to the vet and find out why she is itchy. If she is pulling chunks of fur out she is in a lot of discomfort. Do you use flea powder on her? if so, STOP! take her to the vet and see whats going on with her

    i HIGHLY suggest Bare Minerals... it's the greatest make up ever made. i will never ever use anything else. it goes on silky smooth and makes your skin flawless. it actually looks like my skin is airbrushed when i put it on.





    you can purchase it at Sephora.com


    or go to their site - www.bareescentuals.comAny recomendations of fine cosmetic skin care lines?
    Clinique is the best. Bare Minerals is the best makeup for people with mild acne and such. It covers them up without smothering them (since it's all natural) and it will help you from making your acne worse
    I love the Clinique Three Step Program. It consists of a soap, in liquid or bar form, a toner, and a lotion. The can customize each step to meet the needs of your skin. It has been a while since I purchased all of them together, but think it is around $35 for the set. They also make travel sizes so you don't have to lug around 3 giant bottles anytime you go away for a weekend, and if you shop during bonus time, you get free stuff!

    Should we peel the forehead skin of penis completely during cleaning?

    Also explain how to clean it?Should we peel the forehead skin of penis completely during cleaning?
    Yes. When showering, I wash all of my body with soap and water. When drying off, it's important to be thorough. While my foreskin is retracted I use a double layer of tissue wrapped around my glans to absorb all remaining moisture then replace my foreskin. This keeps me clean for the day. (My foreskin is very loose)


    Should we peel the forehead skin of penis completely during cleaning?
    It is absolutely essential for an uncircumcised male to fully retract his foreskin on a daily basis and clean under it.





    Your parents should have done this for you whilst they were still bathing you and then taught you to do it for yourself every time you bathed or showered.





    A white cheesy substance called smegma collects under the foreskin and, if not washed away, can lead to fungal and bacterial infections, and even to cancer of the penis.





    Smegma is composed of sweat, natural skin oils, shed skin cells, stale urine, stale semen and general dirt. It is an oily substance and thus needs to be cleaned away with soap as well as water. After washing away all the smegma the penis should be rinsed with plain water. When drying yourself after your bath/shower, do not forget to retract the foreskin again and dry inside it, preferably by patting it dry rather than rubbing hard.





    If you cannot fully retract your foreskin to clean under it then you are suffering from either phimosis or frenulum breve (both are developmental abnormalities) and need to see a doctor to get them sorted out. The best, and only permanent, cure for these is circumcision.
    There is not much you need to know about cleaning your uncut penis unless its a boy under the age of around 2.. YES you need to clean it all so pull it back good and clean it well. Gently pull the foreskin back. Rinse with warm water only. Soap under the foreskin can cause irritation and swelling. Pull the foreskin back in place over the head of your penis.
    Yes, definitely pull the skin compleately back exposing the entire forehead when bathing and wash with soap and water as you would your entire body.
    Yes, in the shower each day just pull it back and wash your entire penis area with normal soap. Rinse and replace your foreskin back in its usual position. Simple!
    go to the doctor's and get it cut off,thats the best way of keeping it clean,

    What are ways to avoid skin cancer when going to tanning beds?

    Is there anyway to avoid skin cancer when going tanning to a tanning bed?


    My legs are like extremelly pale and nothing works better for a tan then a tanning bed, I know this cause I've used it before and the tan is now faded out, but I really don't want to get skin cancer so what is a way to avoid while at the same time using it.What are ways to avoid skin cancer when going to tanning beds?
    There is NO way to avoid it...eventually.... except with great luck! UVA is UVA. Have you tried to use any of the new skin tanning products? They are great! and much much safer!What are ways to avoid skin cancer when going to tanning beds?
    I dont think there is a sure way.And i use to go and got odd bumps on my inner legs that wont go away.The doctor didnt say if was skin cancer,However i ve had them 5 years now.I would stay out of them if i were you.
    Don't tan, it's bad for you.. You'll end up a wrinkly old prune when you're 40. My aunt tanned her *** off until she was black, now she's wrinkly while her sisters who didn't tan much are still young looking. Besides, tanning is overrated.
    You can not avoid it. use lots of sunblock when you are outside. you know they have those spray things. they pretty much spray you. you get the look of a tan, but not the dangerous stuff. stay away from tanning beds
    Q: what are ways to avoid skin cancer when going to tanning beds?


    A: Dont use one.





    it's a form of vanity, one of the ';deadly'; sins. makes sense to me
    Unfortunately, there is no way. Tanning beds expose you to high levels of UV, which causes skin cancer. Twenty minutes in a tanning bed is equivalent to two hours in the sun.





    Does this mean you are certian to get skin cancer if you use a tanning bed? No. But it increases the risk.
    The same ways you can avoid transportation while driving a car or avoid gravity when you jump out a window. Though there are slight differences in response to UVA and UVB radiation, the bottom line is that tanning is unhealthy and always increases your cancer risk.
    use sunscreen and learn to accept your uniqueness.

  • Is it possible for my skin to completely tighten up after massive weight loss?

    I lost 100 pounds about 5 years ago and have since been working out and running 5-6 days a week. I have a lot of stretch marks from those days. Although my body has healed over the years, I want to know if it will ever heal completely? I'm 28, male.Is it possible for my skin to completely tighten up after massive weight loss?
    Stretch marks fade to silver after some time, but your skin will not tighten up much. There are products to help, sea weed etc but for major loose skin surgery is the only thing to remove it.





    Congrats on getting healthy!Is it possible for my skin to completely tighten up after massive weight loss?
    Usually opposite happens - very loose skin. I'd say that by your exercising you have not had that problem. I'd just be happy with who the new you is. Congratulations!! So many people have to have reconstructive surgery for this. Coconut butter or emu oil is good for stretch marks. Also, Roc. Check web for ';stretch mark creams, oils';.
    like my aunt you need surgery to lose the skin because you lost the weight





    How did you lose the weight?
    stretch marks won't go that easy.


    plastic surgery will definitely get red of those things.


    live healthy man.
    It takes a couple of years for the skin tighten but it will probably not be as ';skin tight'; as you would like it. most people get surgery to remove the excess skin. the good thing about it is that you can donate the extra skin to burn victim's

    How do I make my skin glow and look shiny like models, actresses,etc?

    I am african american and try to make my skin glow and look flawless but I do not know what to use. If I do achieve the affect it only lasts for about 30 minutes then my skins looks dull again.How do I make my skin glow and look shiny like models, actresses,etc?
    You have to avoid using products formulatted with animal products and with mineral oil..... the problem is that they will not get abosorbed by our skin and what it does is that it gives the dullness to your complexion.... let me explain, using products with mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skin, it is like rubbing car oil and exposing yourself to the sun it will clog your pores. Also using animal products is gross and a waste of time.. animal products come form dead animals and what they do is that they pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc, and they put them in a huge pot squash everything inside and boil it, the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their ';beauty'; products groosss i know and ever the lipstick come form here.... agghhhh ... anyway, the use of collagen is from animals so never buy products containing collagen, collegen is a huge molecule and will not be absorbed by our skin, you could see a difference but it is superficial and what you want to do is for the effect to last long and penetrate deep inside for those lines to be less noticeable..... anyway, i started using these botanically based products called arbonne and they are really amazing... they are not sold in stores but i buy them online and visit their web page for extra info .... http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com they could give you so much info on different topics for a healthy skin .... i know it is too much info but hopefully helpful and interesting ....;~)How do I make my skin glow and look shiny like models, actresses,etc?
    try using witchhazel


    it is a natural astringent and it will cleanse your skin while shrinking pours and making your skin healthier.... I use it everyday and I have no complaints about my skin...
    baby oil. but don't use it on your face- you don't want zits!
    lots and lots and lots of water. you need to buy skin care products for your skin type. I don't use soap on my skin and haven't for many years. there are alternatives out there which don't dry the skin as much. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. If you do wear make-up, it is very very important to get the right type of make up for your skin type as well. Lastly,never ever ever go to sleep at night with makeup on.
    Victoria's Secret makes a good line of ';spa'; products. The body scrub and whipped body cream are really nice and smell great too.
    apply baby oil after bathing
    tinted moisturizer works wonders on my skin....try it =)
    Spend three hours a day with your stylist. That's what they do.





    Do a google image search for ';celebrities without makeup'; and you'll feel much better about your own natural looks.
    No matter what their skin color is, there are two things that models do to make their skins look the way that they do.





    1-They use a skin slougher. That's any sort of a system to get the dead, dull skin cells off of the surface of the skin.. You don't need fancy, expensive cosmetics for this--something as simple as a mixture of sugar and cooking oil-rubbed onto the skin all over and then rinsed off with soap, will do the trick. You then put a regular moisturizer (or Palmer's cocoa butter, or coconut oil, or whatever you like best) on your skin to keep it soft and moist.





    2-The shiny stuff that you see in ads is a special body (or facial) moisturizer that has very finely-ground-up sparkly stuff in it. It might be fish scales, or it might be a mineral like mica, but it reflects light back and gives skin a glow. Many of those makeups that have the words ';age defying'; on them have this type of ingredient in them. So what you want is a tinted moisturizer that has the shiny stuff in it. You can probably find several brands. Look in the made-for-women-of-color makeup lines first, because they won't have stuff in it to make your skin look ashy. I think that Avon might have some good moisturizers that do this, too.
    Models and all do touch ups all the time......they don't really have such great skin. The best thing you can do is drink LOTS of water everyday. Say goodbye to pimples, acne, blackheads and get ready for really nice skin
    Professional makeup artists and proper lights.

    I have seen before and after pictures of some models and trust me all is not as it seems. Some look so good because they are caked in make up others probably look after their skins really well. I'd suggest that you make sure you drink plenty of water, steam your face every once in a while and use natural products. Avoid chemicals. Eat plenty of fruit and veg and avoid greasy foods

    How can I eliminate extreme skin itching?

    My body starts itching really bad when it gets warmer. Before it was only itching when I was working out in the gym, now it itches when I simply ride my bike. And the itching actually becomes more serious during winter time. I do have dry skin and I've been using moisturizers sporadically. But they didn't really help. When it occurs, it is really extreme and painful. It usually takes over my back and my chest and you don't know where to start scratching. Please help me find the cause of this and some effective therapy.How can I eliminate extreme skin itching?
    Try using a soap called Cetaphil. It should help even more with the dry skin. DON'T scratch! Scratching, as hard as it is not to do, will actually make it worse. Believe me, I've had similar issues my whole life. Try the Cetaphil soap. Cetaphil also has a lotion that goes with it that will give an added boost. Try it and if you don't see a change within a week or two, I suggest seeing a dermatologist. Good Luck! I feel your pain!!!How can I eliminate extreme skin itching?
    get some medicated lotion or go see a doc. it is a dry skin thing.
    OMG...LOL JUST RUB THE ITCHING SPOT WITH LEMON


    I SWEAR IT WIL WORK
    Why don't you go see a doctor. If you keep scratching you might start bleeding and it will leave scars. My sister had something like that on her elbows and sh got a prescription. Good Luck

    Is it bad for your skin if you use two different acne treatment creams?

    I used ProActiv for a while but my dermatologist prescribed me a different acne washing cream. But since I still have a lot of ProActiv left over, I've been using ProActiv to wash my face in the morning and the dermatologist's one to wash my face at night. Is that damaging for my skin? Will it only make acne worse?Is it bad for your skin if you use two different acne treatment creams?
    YES. Only use one at once. This is because your skin will get confused and will break out.Is it bad for your skin if you use two different acne treatment creams?
    possibly it could cause drying, i would use up your proactive as direcftied and then use you dermatologist's cream after its gone
    well i would stop using the proactiv simply because that stuff sucks. just use the doctor recommended stuff and give the proativ to ur bro or sis or some1 who u dont mind giving it 2
    it probably wont make it worse, but since youre washing your face so much itll get dry. i recommend using proactive but you should get bare minerals in sephora its AMAZING i just got it today, i use proactive and bareminerals to cover acne, it not only covers it but it gets rid of it because its made of minerals so it really helps and unlike proactive it helps until you stop using it-_- so i think you should try out bare minerals, good luck :)

    How can I stop a pimple when I feel it under the skin?

    Does anyone know a way to help clean a zit when you can feel it starting to develop?


    I see the little vague red bumps.


    Is there a way to make it stop growing, or stop getting clogged?





    I'd rather use something I have already, than have to go out and spend any money, but if you know of a really great product I can get at CVS or Walmart or something, I'd be glad to hear it!How can I stop a pimple when I feel it under the skin?
    Benzoyl peroxide is what you're looking for! You can get creams with benzoyl peroxide (Persagel is one) at CVS, Walmart, and most grocery stores.





    Benzoyl peroxide causes cell turnover in your pores and on your skin's surface, which reduces the amount of bacteria in your pores. Bacteria are what's causing the painful red bumps that you feel under your skin.





    You can also use a face wash that has salicylic acid in it (Biore makes a good one). Salicylic acid helps exfoliate your skin and unclog pores. But be gentle! Scrubbing irritated skin really hard or with a harsh scrub will make it worse and more irritated, red, and painful.





    I know some people recommend toothpaste, but that has never, ever worked for me.How can I stop a pimple when I feel it under the skin?
    If this pimple is a one off, I suggest the best thing to do is keep your money and leave it alone and let it run its course. Putting tootpaste or anything like that will make your skin dry and disgusting and won't help it any.





    If you get them often go to your GP and he will give you a prescription for something better than toothpaste.
    there is a new product from clearasil exactly for that. its a little pen you can carry with you and whenever you feel one coming on you put that on. its a little pricy...like 7 or 8 bucks but its prolly worth it : )
    take a hot shower. this will open up your pores. then, you wash it with, and let me stress this... OIL FREE SOAP. High oil soaps will only make your situation worse. After that, you can get some alcohol wipes and wipe where the pimple is coming up.
    Start boiling some water then get a small cloth rap it around ur face but not on ur face around ur forehead and put your head above the boiling water and hold it there for about 5 min. it should help from preventing, do it daily
    you could just lightly pinch it til the white head comes out.


    once it's out the pimple gets smaller and vanishes pretty quickly
    Try clean and clear acne spot treatment, amazing.
    i use clean and clear, or toothpaste actually works. It drys out your skin really well, not like cover your face in toothpaste just that spot
    You could actually put hydrocortosone cream on it. It will dry it out.
    put loads of cream on it

    Does anyone have a recipe for a good face masque for my skin type?

    I struggle with breakouts during my cycle


    I have blackheads that I cant get rid of


    I struggle with dryness





    My current skin regimine consits of washing my face with medicated apricot scrup during my shower, then getting out, using astringent, and then a light moisturizer (I'm only 21, I've heard not to use heavy ones)





    Anyone have a good masque recipe? People have told me to use oatmeal or honey, but never include details as how to prepare it, how long to leave it on, etc. Thanks so much!Does anyone have a recipe for a good face masque for my skin type?
    You don't need any of that other stuff (which can get messy: honey, etc.). The best sure for oily skin on the is earth be a strawberries mask or a strawberry tea bag applied. Strawberries are said to remove oils %26amp; restore anyones skin balance (who's not allergic)





    I hope your using St. Ives apricot scrub %26amp; not another brand as that ones the best !


    Diet matters! Don't eat heavy hot dogs, burgers, cheddar cheese (pure grease) near cycle %26amp; cut back on frozen foods %26amp; microwave use (nobody's body assimilates food properly with this radiation device!). Use electric stove. Eat a nice Gala apple !





    The best eat for smoother skin be romaine lettuce !





    If persistent with that area with 3% hydrogen peroxide (breathes a pore) or else try Proactive.





    Mask: use aloe be all the astringent you'd need; to break off plant stem. But fresh plant may be unavailable.





    Heres a recipe for dry skin that will stop acne in tracks:





    Two big strawberries or 4 small, half a slice of cantaloupe (potassium %26amp; vitamin A = retinol to firm) And 3/4 cup romaine lettuce. Mash all gently into a pulp with a big spoon. Add 1 near cup of oatmeal until stiff mix with spoon. Leave on for 10 minutes.Does anyone have a recipe for a good face masque for my skin type?

    How do you tighten up skin after weight loss?

    I'm in the process of losing 50-60 pounds....and I've lost about 20 so far and I can see all the loose skin starting to sag...is there a way to tighten this up? Or tone it? also good home remedy for stretch marks needed?How do you tighten up skin after weight loss?
    well i weigh tlift and i know alot about the stretch marks and im 18 so u gotta take care of taht...lol





    so buy some cocoa butter and they will go away with time...and to tighten up ur skin u shud do weight lifting as well...a balanced weight lifting plan where u hit each body part twice a week will help a bit...but u will need to get surgery...more than liekly to tighten up the rest of the skin





    hope this helped and congratulations on the weight loss and keep it upHow do you tighten up skin after weight loss?
    if you loose weight too fast, then your skin will sag and no treatment other than surgery.


    but since u only lost 20lbs now and in process of loosing up to 60, you won't sag than much if you take your time loosing this weight .


    the skin is very elastic, stretched too much, it will loose it's elasticity and stretch marks will appear, it took time for it stretch, give it time to stretch back... you can help it by doing toning exercises, you can help it by applying lotion to keep it moist.


    as for stretch marks, once u have them u have them forever, when u loose weight, they'll be barely noticeable, i heard that if you use cocoa butter (not the lotion, but the real butter i guess they get it from health stores) it will help with decreasing their appearance, i haven't tried it personally.
    when you loose a little (10-20lbs) yes, but if you loose more then no, i know because my mum weighed 22st and managed to loose 11st on a diet called lighter life. she was left with over 2 stone excess weight and had to have it surgically removed.
    There is really no good way to tighen skin after weight loss except surgically





    As far as stretch marks go- cocoa butter works well

    Are there any popular actors or actresses in the Philippines with dark skin?

    Almost all of the actors and actresses have light skin. I guess that is why there are so many skin whitening products out here. And why light skin is looked at so highly upon especially with the entertainment industry.





    Just curious, are there any popular actors or actresses with dark skin in the Philippines? If so, who are some of the attractive actors and actresses with dark skin?Are there any popular actors or actresses in the Philippines with dark skin?

    alssandra de rossiAre there any popular actors or actresses in the Philippines with dark skin?
    Yes of course. Not all actors or actresses in the previous years have light skin or fair complexion. It is only now that most production or movie outfit or television required those fair or light complexion. Because now a days it is commercialized. It is not what the talent of the person have but it is how they look in the camera.





    There is so many skin whitener products in the Philippines because Filipinos are in the true sense of the word are dark or brown skin not white. It is only through the years that mixed marriages like Filipino and Americans, Fil-French, Fil-German, Fil-Pakistani, Fil-Indian, Fil-Bangladeshi, Fil-Thai, Fil-Chinese etc. has evolved. That is why most children have fair skin complexion and doesn't look Filipinos anymore.





    The actors like Vic Vargas, Vic Silayan, Fred Panopio, Chiquito,Dindo Fernando, Johnny Delgado, Efren Reyes Sr. etc. have dark skin. Actresses like Elizabeth Oropesa, Liberty Ilagan etc mostly from the 60's have one way or another brown skinned but not too dark. Being light skin complexion now a days is the IN THING so time is changing. So we have to change with time. This is what the audience or the looks they like right now. So everybody loves to buy a whitening soap, a whitening cream etc...or even go to medical clinic to get the desire they want. It is 2009 now not 1920's.
    If you're asking for more than just kayumangi like Angel Locsin, there is also supermodel Wilma Doesnt. And until recently when she became an endorser of a whitening cream, the comedian Jinky Oda.





    Another lets not forget, Chocolate!





    There are actually a lot. But I think these are not the people you are referring to right? There are none at all I can think of who are actually matinee idols. They are actors and actresses but not teenage hearthrobs. For me personally, Angel Locsin is no. 1 though. She's not too pale and not too dark. Just right.
    hmmm....do you think the media has to do something about it?


    cuz it would be more universally acceptable than those shows with almost all filipino casts. Acceptable in the sense that it would be bought by other countries so that it would be featured in their television shows.

    What is a best sunblock lotions out there for guys or all skin color?

    I need to know of the best sunblock lotions that smell good and not oily and from where should I get it. thank you.What is a best sunblock lotions out there for guys or all skin color?
    Same as anyone else 30+ is the recommended application rate


    As for smelling good - go to a large store and ask an assistant if you can check out types and smell some to figure out which is best for you. Others may recommend some but smell of things is one thing that is like taste - individualWhat is a best sunblock lotions out there for guys or all skin color?
    You won't have any luck if you try to buy a sunblock. The law dictates that they have to call them sunscreens now, because no product can block all UV rays from the sun. The ingredients in good sunscreens both block, (deflect) and scatter UV rays to prevent you from burning.





    You'll want to buy a sunscreen that is a ';broad spectrum'; product. This helps to block UVB and UVA rays. If you have sensitive skin, you'll want one that has natural ingredients rather than chemicals. Burt's Bees, L'Oreal and Neutrogena all make products like this.





    A more affordable alternative would be Banana Boat. It contains chemicals, but still isn't that oily. I like the Sport version because it holds up well after sweating and prolonged exposure.

    Ever since I started taking them my acne has been wayy better. And I've tried everything on the planet lol.
    Before using any Acne products, try showering better. I use Dove's Exfoliating gentle scrub soap. It has these little blue beads in it that really clean you, you'll notice that your skin will become smoother and your acne will be ridden ratehr quickly. Plus it smells good.
    Go out for long walks, they help improve skin and everything.
    drinking more water will be good for you.
