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

Lisa asks…

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.

James asks…

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!

Thomas asks…

Treating Mace “burns”?

This morning somebody tried to carjack my husband. My husband maced the guy but got mace all over himself too. Does anybody know how to relieve the burning? We’ve tried Aloe gel and burn relief spray but they are not working.

Simon Smith answers:

Gotta let it wear of or lay in a bathtub full of milk.

Sandy asks…

What do I do when I’m blistering from a really bad sunburn?

I went to the beach Sunday and ended up getting a really bad burn. My back and shoulders are the worst. I legit can’t lift my arms and I haven’t been able to lay down or even sit back for two days. Yesterday, some decent sized blisters formed on the top of my shoulders and a bunch of tiny ones formed on my back. I’ve used solarcaine, aloe, aloe gel with lidacaine, cocobutter, vitamin e, (none of those work for long and then stopped working all together)… along with cold wet towels/cloths– but those really hurt. Even in a cool shower with the the water on it’s lightest setting I’m in pain. I don’t know what else to do while I wait this out but I need some relief! I can’t get a straight answer about how to treat the blisters. Do I pop them? Let them pop on their own? Will they go away by themselves? I’ve had my share of sun burn but never this bad. Someone out there has to know what I’m going through and how to help. How do I stop the aching burning freezing I’m dealing with??

Simon Smith answers:

The blisters will eventually go away on their own and if you can manage it, let them do that and do not pop them. They are protecting the damaged skin and tissue underneath. Take pain medication if you need it. It will not help the sunburn heal any faster but it will make you feel better. Anti-inflammatory medication might help with any swelling. Sit in a cool bath if you can manage that. Continue with cool gentle showers. Rest as much as you can, and drink plenty of fluids. It will gradually get better.

George asks…

I was making breakfast for my Father and I..?

..and I burnt myself. It’s not that bad, honestly. It stings a LOT, though, ;’-(. It’s reddish-pinkish and skin colored, if it matters. How do I soothe the pain? I’ve got no aloe vera gel or anything special right now. Anything else work other than just water? Maybe ice cubes? Please help!

Simon Smith answers:

I know this sounds strange, but trust me it works. Put one drop of liquid dish soap on it. I dont know why it works, but it does. And its also antibacterial, so it will prevent infection.

Joseph asks…

What should I do?? I have a really bad sunburn…?

it’s a really deep red, I look like a lobster, it hurts to move in certain ways, and my friend and sister, whoever, have kept putting layers of aloe vera gel on it FOREVER… it still hurts A LOT. Is there anything else that may work??? Something better?? My skin just keeps sucking the gel dry over and over, and still it won’t stop or even start to feel a little more relieved.

Simon Smith answers:

Sunburned skin is burned skin and must be treated gently. Sunburns should be seen by a doctor if they cause you severe pain, you’re covered with blisters, or you have a fever with exhaustion.
If you’re sunburned, you need hydration. Your body can lose over a quart of water an hour when you’re out in the hot sun. It can be critical to replace that, especially if you drank caffeine loaded beverages such as some soft drinks or iced tea or coffee.
There are several ways to cool it and help speed recovery.

1. Vinegar is cooling and soothing and it’s even been claimed that red vinegar will help you tan. Fill a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and spray it on the sunburn as often as necessary. For large areas, soak a cloth in vinegar and put it over the burned area, turning it often to keep the coolest place next to the skin.

2. Cool, sugarless tea is good for sensitive areas, such as around the eyes. If your eyes feel hot and tired, place used and cooled tea bags over them as well. Tannin in the tea helps the skin recover.

If you’ve got an area that’s really burned, separate the white from the yolk of an egg and apply the white over the burning area as soon as you can. The egg white will draw the burn – and yes, you can sometimes see egg white start to “cook” when placed on burned skin. It really does draw the heat.
Once the heat and pain is dealt with, slather on lotion or oils, but don’t use lotion that has alcohol in it (you’d be surprised how many do; check the label). Olive oil is very good for damaged skin because it’s close to natural skin oils. You won’t have to worry about it staining clothing, either, and it’s pure, without other ingredients that may irritate your already sensitive skin.

Mary asks…

If love as in luuurrve, was your meaning to life, “please explain”?

Answer must be humerous, either parody a movie or song.
Find something topically interesting, and leave your phone number if female and good looking for all the male stalkers copying this question? NOT!!!

What is expressing your love? Either a poem, art, or a feeling, perhaps an oxymoron, preferably not your husband or ex, for the guys to be fair, the ideas some might call baggage but have a positive spin as a lesson where you experience true love as a burn mark dowsed hopefully in Herbalife Herbal Aloe Gel, just joking! Gotta have fun, and the odd sales pitch, you too. But not the whole answer???
Must not be in cliches, or hints, go easy on me, I am legally blond!
Please limit use of words to no more than twelve letters per work and do not use double triple quadrupple negatives, split infinitives, expletives, offensive words, or just plane rude insults, ie no mocking condemning etc, have fun, enjoy creatively loving the meaning for what you love living?
Smile in you’re typing?

Simon Smith answers:

The funny thing I’ve spent more then a year trying to convice people that love is a serious matter and on top of that, its one of the most immature things to based someones life TOTALY on an emotion. That love is simple, its only the beganing, and only thru love do you find the things that ACTUALLY matter, like understand, compassion, passion, trust, honesty, and companianship. Then you come on here and make it fun? Please buddy, no….. Read some of these question and tell me weather you think these guys are actually having fun…. Don’t mean to offend you, but I notice no one answered you, I think thats the reason. Not me, just them not wanting to make light of it…. No offense, lets see, a joke, himmmm, what do you call a man with no legs and no arms laying on the ground in front of your door? Matt! What do you call a man with no legs and no arms floating in the water? Bob! What do you call a man with no legs and no arms hanging from a wall? Art!

Your Questions About Aloe Gel Does Work

Laura asks…

how do you make you mosquito bite stop itching!?

i just got done camping and i am covered in mosquito bites, but i can not get them to stop itching. I have tried just about every thing. Aloe vera gel, itch stick, cold water, rubbing alcohol but nothing seems to work. do you have any sugestions?

Simon Smith answers:

There are a few things you can try. You can take a bath and put some baking soda in the bath. That is soothing. Make a thick paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the bites. That can help. Go to the drug store and buy an over the counter hydrocortisone itch cream. It is one of the best treatments. And ask the pharmacist for an over the counter antihistamine that would be good to stop the itching. And of course, don’t scratch. That makes the itching worse.

Paul asks…

ITCHY AROUND VULVA AND STUFF! (reposted)?

This itchiness started 3 days ago. It is itching unbearably around my labia minora, and when I touch and pull at the lips it releves some of the itch. I HAVE NOT had sexual contact (I am 13). The itch also goes all the way up past the anus opening. It DOES NOT itch inside, and there is no burning or discomfort when I pee. It’s only red, no bumps or swelling that I can see. It’s SUPER INCREDIBLY itchy! I really can not go to the doctor, and it’s too embarising to tell my mom. The hair in the area is about 1-3 inches long. I’m trying my hardest not to touch the area, and I’ve tried aloe vera gel (which isn’t really working). Also, when I am done itching for the moment, it gets hot and a little tiny bit painful. PLEASE HELP ME!!! IM BEGGING YOU!

Ps-no discharge.

Simon Smith answers:

Go to the drugstore, ie duane reade or cvs and buy some anti itch cream made for the vulva. It should be in the feminine hygiene section.

Nancy asks…

Why do I have bumps on my legs? And why are they so damn itchy?!?

When I shaved my legs I used to get a kind of rash on my thighs so I stopped shaving and started waxing. Although it’s been a couple of years I’m now getting the bumpy rash again. It seems to get worse if I use bubble bath or if my legs get hot. I used to be able to soothe it with Aloe Vera gel but that no longer works. Any suggestions on what I could use instead?
My friends think it’s ingrown hairs but I exfoliate on a regular basis.
I do see a beautician to get my legs waxed, I’m not that brave! The bumps are only on my thighs, no where else so I’m not sure it’s a reaction to the wax.
I don’t think my doctor would be much help (he diagnosed a wart on my thumb as ‘just some dry skin’!), I just need something to soothe it!
It may be an allergic reaction to shower/bath gels as I’ve been told this can happen with SLS which is an ingredient in them. Are there any shower gels without any SLS in?

Simon Smith answers:

It may be an allergic reaction to the wax? Or you may be pulling the wx off incorrectly causing damage to the skin! To get a a wax done properly you need to get it done by a proffessional, it is very hard to get the correct angle ourselves, its also less painful if someone else does it!!
Hope that helps xxx

Thomas asks…

red bumps/irritation after epilating. quick fix?

my boyfriend has been epilating for the past couple months for his own personal reasons. i’m not looking for any criticism or harassment over his decision.

anyways, everytime he epilates (basically, his entire body), he breaks out in red bumps for the entire day, then for the next few days they gradually go down, but he still has rough skin and red marks.

is there anything he can do to help accelerate the healing process? he’s tried witch hazel at first, and recently switched to aloe vera, both working fairly well. however, he still remains red, and when things finally seem to heal up almost completely, its time to epilate again. he’s also tried a hot shower/bath before epilating.

he’s been using target brand witch hazel (not so much anymore), and banana boat aloe vera gel, if that makes any difference.

if you have any tips or recommendations, anything is worth a try. however, shaving, waxing, or just plain not epilating is not an option. thank you :)

Simon Smith answers:

I have found that Gold Bond lotion speeds up healing on most skin irritations. Its pretty cheap too.

He also might want to try switching brands of whatever product he is using. It sounds like he might need one made for sensitive skin.

Donald asks…

How to get rid of weird marks on your legs?

I have these really weird marks. they look like strech marks, on the back of my legs. does any one have remedies for things like this? i exercize too and ive used things like aloe vera gel cream but it just deosn’t work. i have weird marks on my boobs to because the grew too fast. i legit went from flat to a D size in one year. i’m not ashmed of my body but i just want to become more comfortable with it. i would really appreciate the help=) thanks guys!
By the way, I’m 16

Simon Smith answers:

They are most likely stretch marks and aren’t that bad. They only mean that your body grew quicker than your skin could keep up with them. Most women have them. Aloe vera is for sunburn. If you want to try to get rid of them, you can use cocoa butter or a stretch mark therapy (Mederma makes one). If you don’t want to invest in these products, because you do sound young, they will eventually fade and look like they were never there. I had severe stretch marks on my breasts, legs, and stomach when I was a pre teen. They all faded and you can’t even tell they are there now (I’m 19). Hope this helps you, but really, they are nothing to be concerned about! Your body has to grow!.
