I have a decent amount of hair on my body and have waxed one time , about 2 months ago. When the hair grows back I get in grown hair pimples and such. I have a couple of pimples that instead of going away have left little red marks and are not going away. I am sure somone can give me some advice as to how to keep these little pimples from scarring.

Lucky for me I am not hairy.

I have the same problem, and i havent found a way around it yet. But instead of waxing/shaving which just makes it worse, I use hair clippers and trim my chest hair. making it all one short length, so its even and looks good. And that way you dont look like a fruit who shaves his chest.

Drink a teaspoon of Colloidal Silver a day for a week. Pimples are caused by bacteria in your bloodstream and the CS will cure that. CS works well for boils also.

No I am not a distributor just trying to help out. I drink it for boils that I get on the back of my neck. Those suckers are painfull.

I don't think he means pimples in that sense. He means inflamed little bumps on the skin caused by ingrown hairs. Obviously they could get infected. The trick would be to avoid the ingrown hairs in the first place.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

I was going to let this go but Hardgains post about NO got me feeling indignant. Without going into whether colloidal silver is effective I wanted to say that THIS product is NOT colloidal silver.

Clear liquid? Colloidal silver is not clear...it absorbs visible wavelengths and thus has color.

Monoatomic? Meningless technobable...most likely clouding the fact that this is ionic silver instead of colloidal which is silver particles in suspension rather than in solution like ionic silver. Silver is an element.

Is ionic silver antimicrobial? To some extent yes. Is this product what it says it is? Probably not. Are they frauding you? Most likely.

Ok so I'm being generous. It IS ionic silver....at least 90%. Hell yes it's fraud.

Here's a table of brands with lab results I found:

One more thing. The causes of acne are sometimes debated...but bacteria in the blood isn't normally one discussed.

More something like this:

What causes acne?

Acne is caused by the overactivity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin.

The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women.

Testosterone in people prone to acne triggers the sebaceous glands to produce an excess of sebum. At the same time, the dead skin cells lining the openings of the hair follicles (the tubes that hold the hair) are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.

These two effects combined cause a build-up of oil in the hair follicles. This causes blackheads and whiteheads to form.

For some people, their acne does not progress beyond this stage.

However in other people, the build-up of oil in the hair follicles creates an ideal environment for a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes to grow.

These bacteria normally live harmlessly on your skin but when this ideal environment is created, they grow. They feed off the sebum and produce substances that cause a response from your body's immune system. This inflames the skin and creates the redness associated with spots.

In more severe 'inflammatory acne', cysts develop beneath the skin's surface. These acne cysts can rupture, spreading the infection into nearby skin tissue. This can result in scarring.

This is why antibacterials don't treat the cause of acne only one of the effects of it.

I am not that harry i just get a little patch on my stomach, i use to shave and trim but would end up with the same nasty looking bump. I tried that nare for men and so far no bumps. so i would say try it and see if it works for you.

How about washing you skin with baking soda? I have been trying this for a while on my skin. My bicep and shoulder area gets these tiny white heads on them. I have noticed a significant reduction in those.

It is also good for facial acne. I don't know if it handles the real cause, but it really seems to be effective.

This may be helpfull with the body pimple thing.

I sometimes just throw some baking soda in a jar, add water, turn on the shower and wash everything with it.

I need a better way to dispense it. If I could form it into a cake some how it would be great. You get really clean using it. Initially it may dry the skin some, but it's not a major drying incident. I think the skin replaces the oils fairly quick.

It's too different things. Shaving bumbs ain't pimples.

Shaving bumps suck, but the more you do it the less it occurs. Your body just needs to get use to it.
