Sun Damage

I'm 20 years old.. My skin is very damaged from the sun, tanning beds, acne, and maybe harsh products.. My skin was pretty perfect up until I had my baby. Even throughout my pregnancy I had very nice skin.. I used tanning beds a few weeks after having a bang and it like destroyed my skin.. I never had blotchy uneven red skin until then.. (Sun spots, redness, easily sun burnt, thinner skin, blotchy, acne marks) It's almost a year later and my skin isn't any better.. Why did this happen, what can i do?? ## I have been using Persivate for a long time and my skin is damaged. Please help me.

Sunscreen (also commonly known as sunblock, sun tan lotion, sun screen, sunburn cream or block out)[1] is a lotion, spray, gel or other topical product that absorbs or reflects some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin exposed to sunlight and thus helps protect against sunburn. Skin-lightening products have sunscreen to protect lightened skin because light skin is more susceptible to sun damage than darker skin. A number of sunscreens have tanning powder to help the skin to dar...

Contained in 45% of U.S. sunscreens, it is used as a chemical UV filter.[3] The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays with a wavelength from 295nm to 315nm, protecting the skin from sun damage. The hydrophobic trimethyl cyclohexane f...

How often (how many days per week) should this cream be used? I am 67 years old and am using it to treat sun damage (actinic keratoses) on my face. ## From what I was able to gather, the primary ingredient in Epitrel Tretinoina Cream is Tretinoin. Although I couldn't locate specific information stating how many days per week this should be used, I did find some other very important user information that you may find beneficial. The safety and administration guidelines for this medication note the following: "The effectiveness of Tretinoin Cream, USP (Emollient) 0.05% in the mitigation of fine wrinkles, mottled hyperpigmentation, and tactile roughness of facial skin has not been established in people greater than 50 years of age OR in people with moderately to heavily pigmented s...

i get frequent head ace which is unable to bear ## Hello, Sunder! How are you? Does your doctor approve of your taking it? This medication is classified by the U.S. FDA as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Long-term use of high amounts can also increase the risk of liver damage, of failure.

when to take the tablet,before or after food ## Sun Pharma manufactures Benfomet capsules in India. It says benfotiamine mecobalamin and pyridoxine hydrochloride capsules. Is this a vitamin capsule? ## Benfometplus is a better option than Benfomet. Benfometplus need to be taken 30minutes or 60minutes before food. It can handle bloodsugar spikes. mmeans before food goes in and kicks up sugarlevels,this befotiamine should be present in the system to handle the problem. benfoment is a superior medicine to neoropathy and cell damage prevention in cells of nerves,kidneys,retina.
