A trip to the dermatologist for another question and his use of liquid nitrogen got rid of my first one. I don't know if creams remove them but I do know fotofacials do. My husband had a large one right below his eye and one treatment removed it.

I never had to use a moisturizer until somewhere in my 50s because my skin was naturally oily. When I did, I tried expensive ones as well as those you buy in the drugstore and found experimenting leads to ones that work for me but might not for others. <BR/><BR/>I do have a product i like right now which would beRain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-81683108948621540052008-06-30T20:36:00.000-07:002008-06-30T20:36:00.000-07:00I guess if I really analyze it, I would prefer to ...I guess if I really analyze it, I would prefer to spend money on things that make my <I>inner body</I> more healthy.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't take much to hit home how important a healthy body is to enjoying getting older.<BR/><BR/>Retiring with scads of money means nothing if you are not able to enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>My recent care-taking duties for my mom has made me hyper-aware to the fact that I needCowtown Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384649567351202679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-27689178859122955312008-06-30T08:19:00.000-07:002008-06-30T08:19:00.000-07:00"I have wondered if callers are deliberately put o..."I have wondered if callers are deliberately put on hold just so they'd have to listen to the recording."<BR/><BR/>I'm convinced of that!
