I use an industrial barrier cream ever time I wash my hands. I have tried quite a few products I can buy from chemists with no results. Its as if my skin is thickening up in cold weather and when it should bend it's cracking.

Hi i just got my belly pierced about a week ago. It didn't hurt at all getting it done. Now days later it hurts like a sharp pain if it gets bumped and i really feel it under the skin and its bugging me. Also i have noticed that it is pink slightly swollen and a little hot to touch. Now i have the saline solution and have used qtip and cleaned around it. I even put hot compresses antibacterial spray, hydrogen peroxide gel, even a guaze with ointment on it. I have been taking ibuprofen every day now. Its like sometimes its pink and then it gets better, and then its back to being sore again. What am i doing wrong? Is this normal. I don't want to just give up on the piercing because it cost me almost 60.00. I got it done cause i thought it was sexy and my husband liked it lol. Now they did't put a ring in its a barbell with a stone. What should i do? Do i have the wrong type of barbell? I am not sure what to do or how long i have to have this pain. I don't even know if its normal. Help

From time to time I can feel my heartbeat really hard for a few beats. Is this a bad thing or am I just paranoid. If it's bad, what can I do the next time it happens.
Also a friend has told me I breathe too heavy and I get out of breath too easily that may be a symptom of a heart condition. Is that true?

I'm uninsured and can only afford to go to the doctor at the health department and he doesn't care about the patients, just the paycheck. He doesn't do the necessary checking, I think he just guesses. He has misdiagnosed me more than once.

For dinner i ate rice, a bagel sandwich, and half a donut. I vomited twice in the middle of the night. I still feel sick. Should i drink ginger ale or take pepto bismol? any remidies or medicines would be fine.

August 31 I had protected sex and like 2-3 weeks after in September i started to have this mild burning and umcomfortness in in my penis and my pelvic was sore. I went to the doctor and he told me to do a urine test to test for diseases and when i called him back he said everything came back normal. And Then in October my throat and under my jaw was really sore and now my arms pits feel irritated but not sore i cant explain it. But anyway i went to the doctor and he checked me again and he checked my under arms and my necks to see if anything was swollen any nothing was swollen. And then he checked my throat and he said it was red because it might have been getting over a cold. then he told me i might be anemic making me more prone to sickness and my mom use to be anemic. he drew blood beacause he said i havent had blood work in a while and told me to call back the next day but when i tried to call back they were closed if i had it they would have called to begin treatment a.s.a.p.

Well, usually it's the girl who can't have an orgasm during sex. For me and my girlfriend, I'm a guy, but I can't seem to have an orgasm while having sex with her. She has an orgasm, but I don't. I just don't know why I can't... We can have sex for 40 minutes, and she would have an orgasm during the first 10 minutes, but for me I just can't have one. However, when I masturbate, I can have one... Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how I can fix it?

All my life I noticed a similiar pattern among females. When there teenagers all they think about there appearence. Making sure they have the right cloths on, spending hours in the bathroom making sure they don't smell, making sure they have tons of makeup and then repeating the process again the next day. All they talk about is what guy they like and who is cute and what there going to wear the next day. Once they get out of school and get to be over 25 they start losing there looks and body and basically fall apart. To me all of them go on anti-depressants. It seems like the same pattern to me. It's amazing how they spend there entire youth on maitenence. Something that doesnt' last in women past thirty

Hi i think i might have this around my shoulder blade, My question is once it is healed and the symptoms of pain come back is it because it gets strained again or inflammed? Cause if its just pain from the inflammation I think id just rather suck up the pain and keep pumping and juicing away.

I had braces when I was a kid and had my wisdom teeth out as a teenager. I never had a retainer but the dentist gave me a bite appliance instead ( soft plastic, kind of like a mouth guard) the use for an hour a day in the year or so right after they came off and occasionally afterwards too. They looked great afterwards but now it seems like my front teeth stick out more than they did then, and the two teeth next to them on the right side are turning in just slightly. Would a retainer fix this? If anyone has experienced this or knows about dentistry I'd appreciate your insight, thanks.

Here's what I mean. I'm 4 ft 11.5 inches tall. Yeah, I'm not pretty tall, lol. I used to weigh 134 lbs. The extra weight was killing me! I was always feeling tired and my knees were hurting a lot. With diet and exercise I'm down to 119. I feel much better, and my body has made quite a transformation. However, I still have some flab on my tummy. Will doing ab exercises everyday do the trick? I don't want to lose more weight and end up looking sick skinny. Also with the weight I've already lost, my butt is kinda disappearing too, lol. It looks nice, but still needs a little work. That's another reason I don't want to lose more weight. Can anyone give me some pointers in the getting fit in the right places?? Thank you.
