Skin Care Problems for Mom

Before I had my daughter I had great skin that needed very little work done to it. Now that I've had her I swear the total chemistry of my skin has changed! I'm having oily & dryness along with random breakouts. I don't know much about skin care due to being so lucky early on in life. I've already wasted close to $100 trying different products. I've tried Biore, Mary Kay, Noxema & Proactive. I have really sensitive skin so the Proactive & Noxzema turned me bright red and made my skin super sensitive. The Biore just made me break...

Any Advice for Breastfeeding Mom with Acne?

Ever since getting pregnant with my second son, now 13 months, I have had terrible acne breakouts on my face and neck. I have tried Proactiv, Murad and just about every other over the counter treatment I could get my hands on because my doctor won't prescribe anything as long as I am breastfeeding. Nothing has helped, and I'm tired of feeling ugly all the time. I won't leave my house without make-up, but even that only partially masks the problem. I had planned to wean at a year and then go see my doctor for help, but neither baby nor I are...

Dry Cracked Hands/knucles

I have tried just about all I know to get my hands/knuckles to stop cracking. My pinky knuckles and my index fingers are the worst. I put lotion on all day, try to make sure I dry them completely after I wash them. I've tried using just hand sanitizer. Right now I put peroxide and neosporin with band-aids overnight. I work in a day care so I am always washing my hands. They have cracked and healed so many times that they are beginning to scar. Any ideas from you great Moms would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, T.

Rash Around Mouth That Looks like Impetigo but Isn't

My 11 month old daughter has had a rash around her mouth that has spread to under her nose. It initially looked like Impetigo and her ped put her a topical antiobiotic. This didn't do anything for her so now he thinks that it could be casued by yeast or enzymes not breaking down in her mouth, tummy and since she does slobber quite a bit sometimes, that might be what is causing the pimple like rash. The ped recommended Aquaphor cream which is like vasoline to basically form a protective layer around her mouth so that when she slobbers it...

Scar on Face

Has anyone ever tried an OTC scar medicine? My 6 year old daughter has a scar on her face, thanks to a toy and her sister. I have healed the cut as best as I can, but she now she is left with a scar. I know they make OTC medicine, but wanted to check to see if anyone has used these? Do they work? Which one do you like best? Thanks for your help!

Strange Bumps on My Daughter's Skin

My 4yo daughter has these strange bumps on her skin. They start out as a small, skin colored bump. Then they grow and turn white. They are about the size of a wart. In fact they kind of look like a wart, but don't have the califlower look to them. Then they turn red and erupt. Then they heal like a normal wound. She has them popping up all over her body, except her hands, feet, and face. She has 4 or 5 red ones at any one time. They appear to be growing in numbers though. Her elbows have significant numbers of them coming up. ...
