On Saturday, I put on this gel deodorant and my arm started to sting, I didn't think much about it except the fact that when I raised my arm I saw this huge gash with blood on it. I read the directions and of course it said " I bumps appear discontinue use" I applied pexoride and Neopsporin and it feels even more infalmmed. What is it? what shoudl I do?

I am 21 years old, am 6ft tall and weigh 10 stone (if I'm lucky!). This is underweight for my age and physically, I look thin. I have tried weight-gaining drinks and general pigging-out(!) and for some reason I cannot gain weight. I know the common myth is that sweets make you fat, but I spend about £1 on sweets per day (that, by the way, is a lot of sweets for one person to eat in a single day!) and have done so nearly every day for years, but nothing works. Can anyone shed some light on how I can gain weight quickly and safely? I wish to gain at least 1 stone.

I have had pain in my left wrist, but no numbness or tingling just constant pain in wrist. It is aggravated by typing. Any treatments i should try as i have tried ice and heat.

When I shouted his name he gave no response. We gave him tea. I phoned up my doc. and he asked us to give suger and juice. This was all four hours ago. Now he is sleeping and the doc. told us to let him sleep for couple of hours. Doc. has also told us not to scold him when he comes to senses. How should the patients who get high in such a way be treated?

I know it sounds weird but I need real teeth for a science fair project. Anyone know where I could get some real teeth or animal teeth to use for the project? Would a dentist have some to spare?

During intercourse I wanted to know whether I can rely on a condom with spermicide to keep my girl friend from becoming pregnant. Last time I had intercourse I used a condom with spermicide in it, and I also pulled out before ejaculation. Would birth control pills be too far of overkill, or is what I am doing already, not good? My girl friend is unsure and wants to make sure she is not pregnant...i hope someone can help

What is the best way to help a parent with a severe alcohol addiction? This person is even suicidal with 2 recent hospital admissions - however the hospital care is only concerned with his physical health - not his mental health or his addiction. The GP (regular doctor) seems not to be concerned either. What are the best resources I can get in touch with?

I have an average beard. I recently switched to a manual razor (Gillette Fusion, which i really like). After I shave, my face feels smooth with the grain, but still a little rough against the grain. I shave with the grain. Is this normal? Is it true that to get a completely smooth face i need to shave against the grain?

I am 21 years old and my parents are divorced. I got kicked out of my house at 18 and was homeless. My girlfriend took me in and now we have split up. So now I am homeless and have nobody at all. I have been dianosed with OCD, when I was younger. But lately I have been really depressed. I have been to the hospital fot cutting myself once. I have thoughts that I wish I would die (I dont want to kill myself), just thoughts of not living. I am not on drugs nor do I drink. I am just really depressed. But sometimes I get so depressed I get zoned out and dont know whats going on. I get kinda dislutional. Also I have thoughts of cutting myself again. I am a nice guy and look just like everyone else. I have been to get help 3 times and they tell me each time that in time I will be better. But that was 3 months ago. I was wondering if I have something major or if it is just a real bad state of depression? Any advice on how to get better. Note, I have already been for help. Please help.PRAY
