Puffy cuticles can be caused by several things. If the cuticle has been scraped, or there are abrasions on the cuticle and chemicals are then used, the skin could be irritated. Puffy cuticles can also be caused by an allergic reaction to products used on the nails or products in which the hands are being soaked. Your professional nail technician can best diagnose the reason for your puffy cuticles and assist with treatment. See similar questions...

Puffy eyes are usually caused by edema, which is the presence of excess fluid in the subcutaneous spaces around the eye. It accumulates usually when one is lying down during sleep and slowly disappears upon waking when the head is higher than the rest of the body. The rate and ease of reducing puffiness depends on how quickly the accumulated fluid is removed. The problem of eye area puffiness is often associated with a mild irritation.

The cuticle prevents bacteria from entering the lunula (that whitish area at the base of the nail plate) by sealing the space between the nail's root and the skin. Removing the cuticle would leave the newly forming nail vulnerable to infection. Instead of cutting the cuticle, push it back gently with a rosewood stick or rubber-tipped cuticle-pusher. However, should the cuticle be hard and dry and sticking up, slightly trimming it is justifiable, but never remove the whole thing. See similar questions...

A gel with cucumber extract helps reduce fluid retention and an anti-aging eye cream with vitamins A, C, and E will help combat this problem. The skin in the eye area does not produce moisture so we need to do so topically. Getting enough sleep is crucial, as well as learning to take care of yourself. Get on a program that includes cosmeceuticals (medical skincare) ASAP as they have more active ingredients and deliver results more quickly. See similar questions...

Puffy gums are also known as hyperplasia. But you don't need a big word to know that it's a signal of gum inflammation. Inflammation causes changes in the size, shape and color of your gum tissues, and it's almost always caused by bacterial plaque. (Sometimes, certain medications or allergies can also cause puffy, inflamed gums.) Bacterial plaque is that white, sticky film you can see and feel around and under the brackets, wires and bonding cements of your braces. See similar questions...

Yohimburn will help, but it may take longer to get the nipple size to reduce and the nipple puffiness to recede. For some people the water retention locally will be bad, so don't let the lack of immediate results with this particular condition dismay you. Of course, some people get almost immediate reduction of both nipple puffiness and nipple size. The main difference seems to be the cause of the puffiness. If it is caused by Estrogen it goes away very quickly with Yohimburn use. See similar questions...

Almost all teenagers get acne at one time or another. You haven't done anything to cause your acne. It's not your fault if you have it. Pimples are caused when oil ducts in the skin get plugged up and then burst, causing redness and swelling. Although there are many myths about acne, the following are the three main factors that cause it. When you begin puberty, certain hormones, called androgens, increase in both males and females.

Several factors contribute to the development of acne. The primary problem is that the abnormal flaking of cells inside the hair follicle leads to the formation of a plug. The plug can enlarge and even rupture the hair follicle. A ruptured hair follicle spills its contents of oil and debris into the skin where it leads to swelling and causes redness (inflammation).

Parts may distort as they solidify and cool in the die, or during ejection from the die. These problems are solvable but usually require discussions between the part designer, the tool designer and the die-casting engineer since they involve increasing draft angles etc. However, part distortion is quite often caused by mishandling during press trimming, polishing etc. or when the parts are clamped in jigs for machining, plating or painting.
