Other - Skin & Body - August 2007

I'm thinking of getting my belly button pierced, I think it looks nice with the pretty jewels you can get. The thing is I'm goin on holiday in 14 weeks and would not want it to spoil my hol if it doesnt heal or goes wrong. As long as I choose a reputable sterile place I would like to know:
How much does it hurt? - im a wimp!
What is the procedure? - how is it done
How long does it take to heal? (ive heard up to a year!?)
Can I swim with it in?
Would I be better off waiting until after my hol? I probably wouldn't want it doing after then tho, id like it for my hol.
Decisions decisions...

I had a piercing in my ear REpierced about two months ago. It's about halfway up my ear - still in flesh, but nudging against cartlidge.

I first had the piercing put there about 4yrs back but they put in normal studs and they used to get irritated/infected easily so I took them out and this time they gave me labret studs. I've never had a huge problem with scarring (I've got 3 other piercings in my each ear), but these piercings are about 1mm away from the old one and now I've got quite a bit of scar tissue in there. I've tried tea tree oil but that didn't work. Can anyone suggest something to help lessen the scar tissue a bit?

Everyone tells me that i have really thick cartilage on my ears &that that'll affect the pain i will undergo during a piercing. Does it really hurt more? &If i go to Claire's &get it done with a gun, would it hurt more than getting it done with a needle?

Because one of my friends got hers done a month ago in Korea &They just used the earring and stuck it through &she said that it didn't hurt @all.

Honestly, please share :] Thanks!

I'm fifteen/female (I guess female is obvious because if I was a male, I probably wouldn't be asking this.). My breasts are very heavy (I'm between a full C and a small D) and they sag badly. I've had big breasts for several years because they developed very quickly. I started getting breasts that needed a real bra at least at the age of 10/11 I think and my breasts have been the same size since I was 13/14 I'm pretty sure. I can't excercise without them hurting and they cause my posture to slump. I don't want to get them reduced because I'm not sure my frame would look good with smaller breasts but what really puts me off is the dangers of breast reduction. Am I too young to get a breast lift because I think if I got one, they'd look better and they'd probably feel better? Could insurance pay this? Any iformation welcome. Thanks.

She is a chocolate lab, 116 pounds I'm guessing, and 3 years old. She limps sometimes, then goes back to normal. And now she's limping again. The on and off limping has been goin' on for about, hmmmmm, 2 or 3 months. I think she hurt her hip because she runs and jumps alot. And, unfortunately, slips and falls also. It's more like a lil' hop when she walks. Can you help me?

I naturally have an olive complexion that can get very dark in summertime. I don't really like it, and was wondering if anyone knew how to get skin paler, not with makeup. (And yeah, I know it's impossible to change my ethnicity.)

a latina with light skin and i don't get tanned, I get burned. My boyfriend is a dark latino who (we just found out) does get burned, I guess, since he was peeling from his bald head. lol. I just want to be out of darkness when it comes to this since I know for a fact that black people age very well. I just want to know if they are also safe from the sun.

Im getting married in November and want to start getting pedicures, only thing is my toenail on my big toe is yellow. i did research and found out they turn yellow from nail polish, and my toenails are constantly polished and have been for probably 2 years or so.

exactly how long would i have to leave polish off before they turn normal? or is there anything i can put on them to clear the yellow up faster?

i dont want to walk in the nail salon looking like i got some fungus toes or something!

thanks!

I have many questions that a lot of you people may find absurd, but I'm forced to ask them.

When taking a shower, what's the best way to make sure your body is absolutely clean, best way to scrub and all that.

Most thorough hair washing job? I never know if I've cleaned my hair the best way because sometimes I have dandruff right afterwards, even if using dandruff shampoo, I dont know how the whole dandruff thing goes though so I need info on that :S

When brushing teeth, how do I know if I'm doing a good job?

I have a problem with flossing, flossing to me is like nails on a chalk board, how do I get over this?

I have a problem with my finger nails, I pick at the skin around them and it's hard to get over, what is the best way to keep my nails healthy and clean?

What's the best way to keep my face acne free? Do things like resting my head in my hands and using a phone too long really increase acne in those locations?
