One of the papillae (visible bumps that taste buds are attached to) is white, swollen and tender. It's really disgusting. I keep cutting them off but they just grow back somewhere else.

What exactly are these? How do i get rid of them?

i've had what i thought was dandruff since 3rd grade. i had tried everything from head and shoulders, selsun blue, etc.

but it just made it worse.
i went to a dermatologist and he told me i have seborrheic dermatitis.
he prescribed some prescription shampoo that worked for awhile but stopped working after awhile and some scalp treatment you put in after i shower called synalar. but it just makes the skin drier after i put it on.

he said it can never be healed but i would like to use a more natural way of going about treating it or controlling it at least.

any ideas?

How to overcome anxiety,depression and panic attacks? I am so hopeless. Ive been suffering with depression and social anxiety with intense panic attacks for three years. I think I had anxiety for longer than that but I wasnt depressed or had panic attacks. My last three years 18-21 I spend staying home,best years of my life something needs to be done.I dont have any friends anymore. I feel like crap. I had major panic attack today even going to Grocery store.I can't even stand at the red light I think everybody is looking at me.When stranger talks to me I just freeze like paralyzed,start shaking,trembling,my mind and heart racing,sweating,my mind goes blank and I just want to scream on the top of my lungs. I started avoiding social situations at all cost. I even feel panicky talking to my family or relatives. All day long bad thoughts running through my head. How can I beat this plz,any one ,because this is not a life this is hell,any info really appreciated.

I was wondering...there is another women at school who I have known for the past 4 years and we are pretty close and today I was pmsing and she was like bit on edge and was kind of rude to me too and I told her that I was sorry if I was rude to her because I just felt kind of like I had done something wrong to upset her but she said I wasn't rude to her, maybe she is like pmsing right now too or something I don't know but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to go about this in the future so we can avoid hurt feelings and being irritated at eachother or making the other one feel like they are mad at us. I really care about her and I would never want for anything to intefere with are friendship. Thank you for your time.

Since I am a virgin if they could take blood and test it instead of doing a pap smear? I've heard that if you are a virgin it will mess up the hymen and all that stuff because they have to spread u apart to swab the areas needed.

My brother, Daniel, recently got into a car crash where a drunk driver ran a red light and hit him. He was in critical condition until last week and now he's still in the hospital but in better condition, but still real bad. I am wondering, because he loves sports so much is it possible he still is able to play his favorites when he gets out - bball, swimming, water polo, ect. And also, we were planning to apply for colleges together this year, he's a senior and I'm a junior both in high school, do you think that's still possible?

I don't want anything really rough or crazy, but I would like him to hold my arms over my head and things like that. We communicate very well, but I feel like if I have to TELL him what I want, he will only be doing it because I asked....like he's "acting", not really feeling it. How can I get him to do it in a way that I know he's into it as much as I am??

My granddaughter is 3 and has lost weight in the last 3 weeks, with fatigue, pain in the legs and pretty much all over. She says she's tired almost all the time. She has abut 2-4 hours a day that she is pretty good, the rest aren't. She doesn't sleep well, doesn't eat and is just fussy and definitely NOT herself.

My husband of 12 years is verbally abusive and physically intimidating when he blows up. He has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and intermittent explosive anger disorder. I am so pained because he is going to see a shrink , taking meds and really trying to get better. It is so hard for me to live with, not to menton our 2 children. If I kick him out he will be homeless as he has no job, no family. I could not live with that guilt. Really between a rock and a hard place....any advice?

I plan to grow my hair out this winter and cut it all off this spring. Im donating it to a charity called "locks for love", who makes hair pieces for sick children. Im looking for vitamine/mineral supplements. Ive heard that pre-natal vitamines make womens hair grow fast, but i dont want to grow boobs.

Thanks for your help,

I know my Iron levels aren't very high. I dont eat red meat. When I donate blood my levels are always at the minimum inwhich they will take. So about once a week i'll take an Iron suppliment which is about 65mg. Today, I didnt realize that I took a multivitamin and my iron suppliment. Thats about 450% DV of iron. Im slightly worried because I know too much iron is rather bad for you. Now, I did just have my period so i know for a fact I lost some Iron in my blood. Need I be worried?? How many mg is a dose that will make you sick?

I just got a wart removed by my doctor with something nitrate. After it was frozen to death, a huge gigantic blister began to appear hours later. It is now a huge disgusting lookin bubble on my thumb and it stings. Should I pop it with a needle?

I had a brain tumour - meningioma - 3 years ago.. I have to go back to the neurosurgeon this year for a check up, and I always get nervous and convince myself that it's back. Does anyone know some possible signs? I know there is a lot to consider.. Perhaps I'm just looking for some peace of mind.
