Manweysabi: Hi R n V, i have a problem with my skin. There's these stuff appearing on my back regularly. I don't know what to call it. Is it acne or pimples. It sometimes appears on my chest and goes, but d one on my back is constant. I've tried using Funbact A, it got to a point, it stopped working. Now, i'm currently using Dermovate ointment, it would only reduce it. If i stop using it, they will come back even worst than before. This stuff with white puse keeps appearing from my back to my shoulder up to my arm. Its so disturbing. Pls, what do u suggest i do? Kindly help me out. Its been over 7 year nw. Thanks

Hi There,

I Think it would be better if you sent a picture to my mail box, if you can. The address is opeyemi.omezie@gmail.com.

Please take several shots from different angles that would adequately display the skin condition. This would assist me with giving a more accurate prognosis.

Warm Regards,

Pls dyu know what i can do to cure my face of this thing?? Thanks.

2. My younger sister has got this terrible black spot on her legs and arms. Actually, she had this infection when she was younger; these itching would just start on her skin till it leads to a wound..and she's got so many on her skin. Now she's all grown up and these infection has miraculously stopped. But these wounds have left really bad black spots on her skin, especially her legs, its so much and bad, that they're even makin d skin on her legs to wrinkle, and they're black and spread almost everywhere(she's fair, so u can imagine how bad it is) Dyu have any idea on how to clear spots and wrinkling of skin..(her spots are pretty much old o). Its been there since she's little. Thanks. I'll appreciate ur reply. We've tried so many creams for her to no avail. She can't even wear a knee length skirt or gown. Its dat bad.

Hi There,

Yeah, I can understand your frustration with those whitish stuff. They are however called sebaceous filaments, and they are formed the way pimples form. The only major difference is the absence of infection with these filaments.

For you to have them in large numbers like that, it means your skin is getting more clogged by the day, with oil, dead cells, environmental residue and a whole other stuff. You need to start aerating your skin to free the clogged pores from the debris in them. You must do the following;

1. Have a professional extract all the whitish debris from your skin. You cannot do anything to remove the debris completely and successfully without professional help
2. Start exfoliating your skin regularly. Your skin is piled full of dead cells that are refusing to fall off, hence the congestion of your pores. You can use physical Exfoliants(scrubs) or chemical Exfoliants (AHAs). I would advise the latter, as they penetrate the skin more and assist to sweep off all dead cells still attached to the surface of the skin. Twice to three times weekly would work just fine
3. Begin to use a remedial product for blackheads and whiteheads. The very best I know is Bion Blackhead/Whitehead controller. This helps to dissolve plugs and greatly reduce the onslaught of congestion
4. Avoid skin products that tend to clog the skin. Makeup, face creams or body creams can sometimes be the main culprit behind this condition.
5. Start taking fish oil supplements. They assist provide the skin with a natural deficiency of essential oils needed to sufficiently lubricate the skin
6. Steam your face like two times a week.
7. Have a light face peel facial done at least once a month to help maintain the results you must have gotten.

As per your sister, she needs some more aggressive treatment protocols, if your description is accurate.

1. She needs to have a series of chemical lighten peels done to help shed off the old dead skin cells, and help lighten the new skin cells
2. She must start using a safe remedial Lightening products to lighten the skin melanin spots.
3. Most importantly, I think she ought to visit a professional to physically observe her condition and advise her on the various safe products available

This should suffice for now.

Warm Regards,

Hi There,

A very good example of a chemical Exfoliant is Alpha Hydrox 10% Glycolic Acid oil free gel. If you don't find that, look for something with a high % (5-10) of Glycolic acid.

Trust this would help.

Hi There,

If you think you have a sensitive skin on your face, I would suggest you stop using soap on your face and get a cleanser (face wash) designed for sensitive skins. These products contain ingredients that help to calm down all sorts of eruptions on the skin. Stop the moisturizer, except if your skin is exceptionally dry.

For your body, it depends on how you view your skin right now. If you are getting good results, it's fine. However, you need to check the ingredients label on your product for any harmful ingredients like hydroquinone. It should be written on the back of th product on the ingredient list.

Do have a lovely day ahead.

Hi There,

I am sorry that I have been offline for a while now.

What kind of pimples do you currently have? Is it raised ad painful, or just a general roughness on your skin?

I need to know this becasue there are different grades of acne, and each grade require specific care.

Please get back to me as soon as you can.

Hi There,

For Eczema, please get Nizoral treatment cream from your local pharmacy. It works wonders for eczema. You could also try a series of chemical peels to remove the unsightly epidermal manifestations.

Hi There,

What kind of pimples do you currently have? Is it raised and painful, or just a general roughness on your skin?

I need to know this becasue there are different grades of acne, and each grade require specific care.

However, Below is a general advice for acne sufferers

1.Wash your face twice a day with a acne specific facial cleanser e.g Bions' Antibacterial Cleanser (Pimples is primarily caused by a bacteria, so you need an antibacterial wash to reduce the colony on your skin). Please do not scrub your face, but wash it lightly
2. Use a facial scrub twice a week
3. Get a good Acne specific poultice(E.g, Bion's Green Tea Clay Poultice - Pulls the infection up out of the skin to be flushed out) and dab only on the spots at night or Use Neo-Medrol, if they are located majorly around the chin area.
5. Have a Medicated-Anti-acne facial once a month to have all of the lesions extracted.
6. Have Facial peel done to remove all the dark pots on your face.
7. Try to drink at least 4 litres of water/day and some green tea for a system detoxification for the reoccuring acne

I think this would help a great deal.

Yes you are. So far you dont break out regularly on your face. Shea butter is good for dry skin.

Hi There,

You need basically three things; 1. A good exfoliator, 2. a safe lightening cream, 3. A good sunscreen

The Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, thereby leaving your skin fresh and supple enough for the actives in the lightening cream to work effectively. Avoid bleaching creams containing hydroquinone, mecury and steroids. They my work fantastically now, but years down the line, you may regret your action, as you may begin to develop onchronosis(That blue black discoloration on the skin of bleached people) or discolorations of your fingernails.

For faster results, you may get a series of body peels done, or buy body peel products, like Bion's 20% Glycolic Acid Cream, and then use safe lightening creams like Otentika etc.

Lastly, and most importantly, you need to get a sunscreen to protect you from the damaging effects of the sun

This should help you greatly.
