How long does it take for fish oil pills to take effect?

I just started taking fish oil pills less than a week ago. Since fish oil pills are good for a lot of different conditions, I would like to know how long it'll take before I start seeing any noticeable effects (e.g., improvements of skin and hair).

Btw, I take a dosage of 3 pills a day.

How long does it take Drysol to fully work?

My doctor gave my Drysol today for my underarms, and I was wondering, if I put it on tonight, will I see any improvements by tomorrow? And if not, how long does it usually take for it to kick in?

Also, should I just put on regular Secret deodorant tomorrow morning? Or is Drysol good for odor too?

A solution to my dilemma? (ACNE)?

I have been having acne issues since the start of high school. It had never really bothered me as much until now. I desperately want my face to be cleared up for the upcoming Junior year.

I have tried plenty of products that claims to remove blackheads as well as stopping break outs and so forth. Those products surely have became a bust, my skin freaking was dry like the Sahara desert.I have used home remedies (i.e: the honey procedure) it made my skin very soft. But I did not see any improvements at all..

I wash my face three times a day. I wash my pillow cases at least once a week. I avoid touching my face. I drink plenty of water.

I have no clue what is causing my acne. I am a perfectly clean person! Could it be my eating habits? I am unable to eat fruits due to my allergies, and I try my best to avoid vegetables; I often vomit eating broccoli and such because my body can't seem to hold down the veggies. So junk food is practically the only thing in my body system, surprisingly I am not fat.

Or could my acne just be due to puberty and could possibly be gone eventually?

HELP PLEASE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!? Is there any method I could remove my acne and blackheads now? Going to a dermatologist is not a option.

What is the best spot treatment?

Ok, so im 14 and have minor acne. By minor i mean like small yellow spots. I hate yellow spots so usually squeeze them asap making them look red and angry. I am using clearasil- stay clear deep toner and daily fash wash at least twice a day. I have been doing for about a week and have no improvements. I really hate having spots and I long for just normal spotless skin. I have only ever had spots on my face. Does anyone know of any cheap spot treatments available in UK stores?
Many Thanks :-)

help with acne please!?

My acne is not, what I considder, severe. But it is pretty bad. I have tiny little red bumps all over and a few big nasty ones, on my face. I have a little bit on my upper and lower back. I have tried all kinds of things to help my face get clear and nothing is working. Pro Active didnt work. And I stuck to it and did it twice a day for several months. I tried acne free. My doctor has me use this topical ointment called Retin-A Micro, it made my face red and sore and hurt sooo bad. I used that for almost a year and my acne didn't improve. I also tried the generic form of that. I have been prescribed a high dose of Benzoyl Peroxide..it did not work either (and yes, I know you cant use Benzoyl and Retin A at the same time cause they counteract eachother!!) also my Dr. had me on an anti biotic to help with the "big" pimples..and all that medicine did was make me sick, I was on it forever and had no improvements. This is so annoying. I am now 19 years old and I clean my face every day. What can I use to help my face and is there any medications that help with acne. I would like to stay away from them if they have bad side effects though. Is there anything over the counter that is really good? Thanks
