    The Aveeno ultra calming spf 15 and night cream both are heavily fragranced. This didn't seem to bother your sensitive skin patients? Thanks!

    If you are allergic to ragweed you need to be careful about using (or ingesting) chamomile and feverfew. They are closely related and can cause redness and swelling.

    I think I have poikiloderma. My neck is always red on the sides, down to parts of my chest. I have a little white spot over my throat that is white. Is there anything I can do to reduce the redness?

    #2 midnightstar1168 I think life, sun, diet, genetics can all age the skin, and not matter what it is going to happen. There are some good products out there to help you with your particular concerns. Margaret www.beautipage.com/margaretjones

    Warning on the chamomile and niacin: If you are allergic to ragweed, you may be allergic to chamomile as well, and an excess of niacin can give you hives.

    Staying out of the sun, proper use of sunscreen and products containing hydroquinone (such as Esoterica and Porcelana) can help with the discoloration. But first see your doctor or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis. It doesn't pay to guess.

    hi i'm 19 and lately been troubling with dry skin. The skin on my face is peelable and i have extra skin on my nose or my sides on my face. And, my scalp is extremely dry does not matter what i do with it. For a while, i used anti-dandruff shampoo and it minimize the dryness and dandruffs, but now is back and its there even everytime i wash my hair. I was wondering, what can be the solution to my dry skin and itchy, dry, and dandruff scalp.

    It seem to work if you use deodorant on a ichy bug bite. It works because when we use it to minimize sweat and an odor, the deodorant actually shrinks those certain pores. So, when we apply it to our bug bites, it shrinks the ichting pores!

    Also - for sunburns try cool tea bags! It kind of sucks the heat out of your skin! Works wonderfully! :-)
