Zits

Question

Kvod Harav. I've got some serious pimples and my doctor proscribed medicine for them (it is a completely cosmetic concern). May I take this medicine on shabbos/yom tov/yom tov sheni? How does Torah Law view taking care of one's looks. Please tell me places i could look - that way when people make fun of me washing my face i could snap back "i guess you would also make fun of _____ ," or "you never learned what ____ has to say". Thank you for your help. Also, what does torah say about making fun of people after they made fun of you?

You can skip Shabbat & the first day of Yom Tov (holiday). Look in Gemara Shabbat 50B regarding Rechiza. AA ......................... Please inform the person who posted the above message that I beleive the medicine he takes is taken once a day and he can take it at night. then, he can take it right before shabbat and right after it is done. only two day yom tov would be a problem. jacob
