I don't have bad acne, but I have a little cluster on each cheek on my face and it is noticeable without foundation and it makes my face look red. I wash it twice a day with a cleanser that a dermatologist gave me and cream that she also gave me. It helped a bit but the acne is still there. It's been on my checks for a couple of years now. I've used things I read about on google like aloe Vera, and olive oil (the aloe Vera burned my face and I do like the olive oil it makes my face not to dry) but does anyone know of any natural ways that do work for them or have in the past? School starts in a week and it would be nice to get my face looking a bit better lol. Would rather not buy anything but if I have to, I will. Thanks :)

Ya know, like the one that's filled with holes and rips and the one that you at one point couldn't sleep with out. I still have mine, her name is Teddy and she's a bear with a 1 piece green outfit that my mom received at a baby shower for me before I was born. She is still in my bed every night lol.

I have acne and I am currently using cream that the dermatologist gave me. The only problem is that it dries my skin out on my cheeks a bit and makes my face dry and makes my foundation look patchy so I really need a cream. The stuff Im using now makes my foundation look blotchy and I hate it. My skin is also sensitive. Annnd I have bad creasing on my laugh lines (I have a powder that I put on after my foundation which helps but not as much as I would like) and when I use the moisturizer I have now it makes the creasing worse so I stop using it altogether. Is there a moisturizer that will go good under a cream foundation for sensitive skin and creasing? I'm only 17 and self concious of my face right now because of the lines and flakiness . I use Hardcandy primer before foundation that's meant for creasing but it doesn't work lol. I would like to stay under the $20 range for moisturizer I just have NO clue what to get. If you have similar problems or know of a good cream then please let me know. Thanks :)

I've had a swollen lymph node in my neck for about a month and a half. It was very tender for the first couple weeks but now it doesn't hurt at all. It moves and I touch and it's soft. It about the size of a small blueberry. It's not growing or anything but it's not shrinking. I have no other symptoms, (but lately I've been having a bit of back pain near where my kidneys are it just feels like a burning pain every now and then) I'll be getting bloodwork done in a few days for that. Anyways I googled my lymph node and I'm terrified that I have cancer because the swelling won't go down, I have bad anxiety which doesn't help either. There are no swollen nodes anywhere else and I heard that cancer swells in "clusters" with other symptoms. But idk but I regret googling now, lol. Anyways could it be cancerous? This is probabaly a dumb question to ask online, but just want some feedback to maybe calm my mind a bit I guess. Thanks :) btw I'm a 17 year old female.

I have braces and one of the joys with braces is you get bumps/cuts, and canker sores in your mouth. (Braces are coming off in a week... :) ) anyways a bout a month ago my braces put a huge canker sore on my left cheek and it was pretty swelled and really sore. The middle of the canker sore had a cut in it from my braces and it looked really weird. And it's been a month now and it is still there, but the swelling is completely down but there is still a little white bump remaining. When I push on it with my tongue it hurts a bit but only when it feels pressure. I'm not too worried about the canker sore (pretty sure it's not cancerous I'm only 17 and never touched a cigarette or anything like that lol and nothing like that runs in my family) but on the same side under my jaw my lymph node has also been swelled for a month. I have anxiety and I hate reading on google about if it doesn't go down within a few days then you should worry...I had my lymph node on my other side swelled a while ago but I got a bad cold a few days later and it went down after the cold. Anyways my question is, could my lymph node be swollen from the canker sore? I have no other symptoms of why it could be and don't really wanna have too go to the doctor again, but if I have to I will. And the lymph node does feel rubbery, but moves when I touch it and it sometimes hurts and other times it doesn't.

I'm getting my braces off in about a month (yay!) and I've heard that retainers will give you a bad lisp...is this true? if you've had a retainer before did you have any problems like that? I also heard that you will at first but it will go away..? Lol so idk. It's not a huge deal I'm just wondering and google won't give me a straight answer, I know it depends on the person but I'm just wondering in general. :)

I was too young to remember my last dog, and my cat who we put down a few months ago was the best pet I've ever had so I am currently a cat person. What are you?

I was fast asleep and I'm pretty sure I was dreaming but I don't remember what the dream was...anyways I don't even remember if the voice was a girl or a guy but I heard someone call "BROOKE" really loud and it sounded really close to me and it woke me up out of a dead sleep. Has anyone had this happen before? Kinda freaked out lol. Or does anyone know that this means? Or was it just in the dream and it happened to wake me up?

I'm 17 and my last bf basically cheated on me so now my trust is gone. There's a guy now who says he likes me but I'm not sure. So he told me he liked me and a few days later he asked for nudes and I said no and he never brought it up again...that brought up a red flag but nowadays most guys ask for nudes so idk. He has called me "baby" a few times and says he loves me...he brought up dating and I said I have trust Issues about cheating and he said "I wouldn't do that to you" I only know of one other gf he's had and they broke up a few months ago but idk why. He sends me hearts and calls me beautiful and stuff but I just want some opinions before I ya know...start liking him or something. I really don't wanna get hurt again...any ideas or opinions?

We have a kitten and he ALWYAS bites. He's the most active thing I've ever seen in my life like he NEVER stops running around and getting into stuff (yes I know that's how kittens are lol) anyways he is a happy cat...he can be very loveable when he is tired but any other time he is trying to bite. He has too many toys to count and is alwyas playing with one but still bites us when we go to pat him. I earlier picked him up to check him for fleas and ticks (because yesterday he bolted out the door when I opened it and ran straight through the tall grass...keep in mind he's an indoor cat and every time the door opens he bolts outside so we have to put him in my moms bedroom when the whole family leaves or get someone to hold him while the door opens) so I tried checking him for ticks and fleas and as soon as I picked him up he started attacking and biting my hand to the point my hands are all bit up and I had to put him down. He often does this when we try to pat him too. And before anyone says "he's not happy" he is a very happy cat it's just the biting needs to stop. We are going to talk to the vet in a month about it when we go to get him fixed. And is there a way to try to get him to stop biting??

So yesterday I noticed the lymph node in my neck on the left side is swollen. It's quite painful to the touch and it moves a tiny bit when I press it. I have no symptoms right off that would give me an explanation of why it's swollen, except on the same side on my cheek I have a pretty painful canker sore from my braces. Could that cause my lymph node on the same side to swell? I tend to google stuff and now I am worried that I have cancer or something like that going on :/ ....I have bad anxiety when it comes to that kind of stuff. Anyways could that cause that to happen?

Well he's not super young he is almost 6 months, but since we took him home from his mother (at 2 months) he's been sucking on our shirts. He will come up and get SUPER loveable and start kneading and purring and he will try to suck on your shirt to the point where he puts wet spots all over it. I tried googling it but all I could find is that he is in distress (which he's not) or we took him fr him mother too soon which also isn't true because we got him when the vet gave us the ok to take him home and he was at the right age. Anyways what would cause him to do this? We are trying to get him to stop but not sure how. Just wondering :)
