What should I say when the doctor asks if I am sexually active?
Ji Asked: What should I say when the doctor asks if I am sexually active?
I am an 18 year old female. I can't remember my last physical – I think it was when I was 16. I'm on oral contraceptives for acne and I have been for two years.
Whenever my doctor would ask if I was sexually active I would say no. But now I'm 18 and I know she'd find it hard to believe. I haven't had sex, but I do have a boyfriend and we have had oral sex.
I know I don't have any form of STI because we are both still virgins and I have been with him for over a year – so what am I supposed to answer when the doctor asks "Are you sexually active?"
I know they ask that to narrow down who may need STI testing, pap smears (if you've had sex) or who's at risk of pregnancy.
So do I say yes? I don't think I'll need a pap smear until I'm 21 and I'm not at risk of pregnancy, especially because I'm already on oral contraceptives.
If I say yes what will the doctor ask after?
Will she send me for some kind of STI testing? Talking about this stuff makes me highly uncomfortable

Why is my skin peeling a lot?
Ami Asked: Why is my skin peeling a lot?
Okay, I am on a cream medication prescribe by my dermatologist called Tazorac (use it two times a day). I have acne prone and oily skin. I also use Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser every day. The routines that I do for my skin is recommended by my dermatologist… but for some reason, I noticed shedding my my skin, A LOT! Is this normal? A good thing for my acne? My face is redder than before, and my acne has gotten better, just still get the breakouts… I just don't understand every 2 days there's a lot of excess skin. I would rub my face in the shower and dead skin would come off.. its gross..

Bad acne that wont go away?
Bad Romance Asked: Bad acne that wont go away?
I have really bad acne, on my forehead, chin and upper lift. I use a Severe acene-free three step thing, and it seems to not work. I steam my face 4 times a week and wash it with clearisil. I also use a mint julep face mask which i wash off with shower water. I'm 16, male. And It's starting to hurt me when i move my face… I used proactive before, with no luck. My skin tends to be greasy. And I'm stressed alot, (Situations at home) Any tips?

ProActiv is making my face burn?
Cheyenne Asked: ProActiv is making my face burn?
not where I have acne either. I only have very, very minimal acne, so is it maybe bc it's too strong for me? I'm using it exactly as it says to.

Clinique Acne Solutions Foundation vs Covergirl Trublend Foundation?
Minda Asked: Clinique Acne Solutions Foundation vs Covergirl Trublend Foundation?
I'm having a hard time finding any information online on comparrisons, so hoping someone out there can help.I currently use Covergirl Trublend Foundation since it's a lot cheaper than Clinique.Even though I like Covergirl, I feel as if I might need something to help prevent acne, yet long lasting.After some research, I came up with Clinique Acne Solutions.The price tag is pretty hefty ($35 per bottle) so I was hoping to see if there's anyone who's tried both and has some insight on if the Clinique is actually worth the extra money.
I have oily skin, and adult acne, never really had any acne issues until I was an adult.I finally have a routine down that seems to calm my acne, but I still will randomly get some here and there, which is the reason I want something acne based in my foundation.

Is this a acne scar? if so how to get rid of?
Bri Asked: Is this a acne scar? if so how to get rid of?
I had a pimple on my cheek a couple weeks ago. I got rid of it by putting neosporin on it. (When it scabbed over) maybe wasn't my greatest idea but at the time i thought it was. Now a few weeks later there is a muted red dot. Its not huge but you can somewhat see it through my makeup.its bugging me cause there are days when it is redder and you can see it more. Ive had this happen before and i left it alone and eventually it went away but still :/ i have a guy to look good for now. What can i do to speed up the process without making facial masks? I have vita E.
