Your Questions About Aloe Gel Does Work

How to clear acne on face.?
17 years old and have acne on my face. I have some on my back but am more worried about my face. I have tried proactiv, generic, and stuff from avon that i still use. I have tried tooth paste (not gel ) on my face and aloe vera (in a bottle) but did not work at all. A kid i know got rid of his (extremely bad acne) from going to a doctor and they gave him extremely powerful medication. Now is there anything else i can try or should i just go to the same doctor he did?

Simon Smith answers:
Acne is caused primarily by a bacteria that feeds off the sebum (oils) that your skin secretes.
The best thing to do against normal acne is to wash your face often throughout the day. A rule I made for myself is to wash my face whenever I need to go to the bathroom. Or, if whenever I touch my forehead and it feels oily, I go to the bathroom just to wash my face. This has helped decrease my acne. What has also significantly decreased my breakouts is when I haven’t masturbated or had any form of sexual conduct for a while. The hormones start to get out of whack when that happens too.
Neutrogena soap is a great product to get rid of this bacteria.
If after doing this for a month, nothing changes, seeing a dermatologist may be the best thing to do at that point.
Good luck

What can I do if my boyfriend has a bad sunburn?
I’m from Puerto Rico and in this time of the year is very hot. So, yesterday my boyfriend was cutting grass without a shirt and didn’t use any sunblock so now he has this bad sunburn that is making him look like a lobster, but the worst thing is he say it hurts a lot, he can’t even sit back, lie in bed or even take a shower. I put on him some cold aloe vera gel but it’s not working that well. I’m at home right know so I need to know if there’s something I can find here or in a drugstore to make him feel better already.

Simon Smith answers:
There isn’t much you can do for sunburn, you can put on cold compresses, like cold towels. They also sell an aloe gel that has benzocaine in it that will numb the pain a bit. Tell him to take some Advil or Aleve for the pain. Keep it well moisurized too to help the peeling be less.

Wound oozing yellow clear liquid?
I have an abrasion on my forearem and it has been healing for 3 weeks. I kept it covered and slathered with triple antibiotic ointment and it looked like it started to grow new skin (or scar tissue) finally a few days ago. then my mom brought me some dressing from the hospital where she works and I also put aloe vera gel on it. Well one of those must have set it off because the next day it had all these little red dots that kinda looked like the skin rub off all over the wound and it was bright red and oozing yellow liquid. I don’t think it is infected and I have left it uncovered because I don’t want to further irritate it. Anyways do you guys know what happened and what should I do about it. I have decided to let it scab up because it is taking so long to heal and it just keeps getting irritated.

Simon Smith answers:
It sounds like the wound was healing, had sealed itself and by putting the aloe gel and dressing on it you softened the natural skin seal. Once the skin rubbed off the wound was again open and began oozing serous fluid, the clear yellow fluid you describe. You have done the right thing by leaving it uncovered. It needs to dry out, but you may want to use a bit of triple antibiotic in the interim. There is no need to apply it heavily.

Linda asks…
Mole removal solution – pineapple juice – myth or truth?
I was looking for natural ways to remove moles online the other day, and i came across a website that mentioned applying pineapple juice on the mole daily – by squeezing a fresh pineapple over the mole a few times per day. This was the most simple solution i had come across by far, and was wondering if it could possible work. So do you think it’s a myth? Has anyone out there tried it?
Oh, i’d like to experiment with more at-home treatments before going to a derm. I have had one removed before, and it left a (lighter) scar that is 2x larger in diameter than the mole was previously…so i don’t trust those procedures anymore, nor do i trust the doctors. I also don’t want the pain. I’ve tried aloe vera gel on the mole before, but it’s a bit of work as it must be applied over and over again and secured by a bandage – but that’s just annoying, so i’m looking for a far easier way.
So do you know of any easy/ at home mole removal techniques? Has anyone out there tried pineapple juice? (why would this, of all things, shrink/ remove a mole?) Does it work?

Simon Smith answers:
Total myth! If you enjoy drinking pineapple juice, go and drink it up, but don’t waste money thinking it will remove moles.
Moles, or nevi can be removed by two surgical methods (or by doing the freezing thing, which I hear is not 1/2 as effective as the simple “surgical” ways of removing them):
1) Excision (cutting) followed by stitches (it’s not as bad as you’d think).
2) Excision, which is done with cauterization (a tool is used to burn away the mole). This is a breeze, as well.
Hope this helps!

Michael asks…
After shaving my legs in shower, bath, sitting on tub, you name it; my legs itch really bad. Help me please!!
I have used disposable razors, the expensive ones, soap, shave gel, exfoliating, shave before shower after showering. I have put lotion on after shaving and it makes the itch turn into pain and I get bad rashes; I have used cocoa butter, aloe vera, scent-less and oil but nothing works. I am trying to get into modeling but it is hard when my legs look as if I sat in a bed of ants covered with honey. Is waxing a better choice? Does anyone else have this same issue? Some one please help.

Simon Smith answers:
After you shave & dry your legs, try using Lanocane lotion. Your legs are maybe too dry from such a close shave. It’ll take the itching away immediately. Try this before you go to waxing. It’s brutal!
