Question

I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Question

I'm 34 and have had dermatitis for about 15 years. Over the years, I've seen quite a few dermatologists and gotten different treatments, but they only seem to give me temporary relief. I've noticed that every time I get my IgE levels checked, they're always above 5000. I'm starting to worry about what this could mean for my health in the long run. Could these high IgE levels affect my other organs or lead to other diseases?
