Is it normal for your gums to turn white when whitening teeth?

My gums have become sensitive while using the prodoct. This is the second day I used the Wal-Mart brand teeth whitening strips. It says that sensitivity on the gums happens and I should discontinue after 3 days of sensitivity. So, it's ok that my gums are sensitive but at the edge where my gum outlines my tooth its white.

A Question about acne medication?

I have been using Persa Gel 5 for a few days now using it twice a day and the last couple days my skin has been itching. It is really good stuff and it is working its just irritating my skin. I also wash my face twice a day with Dove sensitive skin cleanser before i put the Persa Gel on. My skin is also really sensitive. Is there anything i can do to make it stop itching like use it less or maybe my skins too sensitive for it, if so is there another acne treatment that i can use that is just as good preferably something i can buy at a drugstore or wal-mart? also i have also tried Clean and Clear advantage spot treatment, which i find does not work that well.

Why do obese people at Wal-Mart drive scooters just for being fat?

I love to shop at Wal-Mart but I always get slowed down by morbidly obese people on scooters...Those electric wheelchairs. They do NOT have disabilities or health problems....They are just plain fat...Why are they so lazy they can't walk? They slow me down when I am shopping!!!

What is the best acne/pimple medication for a 12 year old?

My 12 year old daughter is very obviously going through puberty!! She has started to break out on her face, chest, & upper back. This is very embarassing for her, especially with swim-suit season coming up. Any ideas? I did not go through this stage when I was younger so I'm not sure what to do? She washes the problem areas twice a day with oatmeal soap, and has tried every over the counter medicine available at our local wal-mart. Has also used prescription benzoyle-peroxide, and most recently proactiv. Nothing helps!
We have already tried proactiv and it DID NOT WORK!! Was way too harsh for her skin. Her doctor does not want to put her on oral medication because she is so young and after a while her body will get used to it and it will not work anymore(which makes since).

What the heck is wrong with my face!!?

Alright I am tired of this! I've had acne for a long time now. Last year around this same time I broke out with bad bad acne....I tried every single freaking treatment for it. I used various of the cheap tube stuff that you can find at wal-mart. Didn't work. I tried proactive. Didn't work. I went to the dermatologist, he prescribed me some pills and two different pastes. Didn't work. I put freaking potatoes on my face. Didn't work. Than I basically just gave up. Stopped all treatment and just forgot about it.

Alright so then this summer that just passed I spent out of the country. And for some reason, while I was out of the country....I HAD VERY LITTLE ACNE! O_O (By the way, while I was out of the country I was very very happy, best time of my life). Okay so then as soon as I got back home I started slowly getting more and more acne. AND NOW IM BREAKING OUT AGAIN!! AHHHHHHHH

What the flip! Im so tired of this! What should I do?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the Proactive acne treatment really work?

I've been dealing with acne for a long time now, and I'm so f*cking sick of it. I've tried a bunch of different remedies, but they never work. If you have tried it, please give me your results. Is it worth the price? Can you get it in retailers like Wal-Mart or do you have to order it?
Thanks!
Or is there any other treatment or pill that will work quickly and efficiently that doesn't cost a fortune?

My acne has gotten worse! Any suggestions?

My acne used be under control. But I started exercising every day about a month and a half ago and it has gotten WAY worse! If you have any suggestions on what I could use (that I can buy at Wal Mart) to help please tell me! Thanks!

BTW these are the products I use

Morning:
Biore Ice Cleanser
Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub (every other day)
Olay Complete Moisture Cream (normal)

Night:
Olay Hydrate & Cleanse (Night Wash)
Biore Astringent
Olay Complete Moisture Cream
Neutrogena Acne Stress Relief 3 in 1 Acne Treatment

--I've been thinking of switching to Neutrogena Acne Stress Relief Power Foam Wash (for my night routine). Does it work well?

Which acne treatment kit is the best? (Not Proactiv)?

I currently use AcneFree system, i've seen some results and used mostly the whole kit now, and it's time to buy a new one. I was wondering if there are any better kits available in stores that maybe someone has had better results with. I will be shopping at Wal-Mart today if that helps.

Proactiv didn't really work for me, even the AcneFree system is stronger than Proactiv, so screw Proactiv!!
