I keep getting zits in the exact same places. It doesn't matter if I wash my face, don't wash my face, put acne medication on it, or put bacon grease on it, the same painful zits keep coming back. Right around my lips and right on my breastbone. Any suggestions?

I would like to know if there are any ways of increasing the amount of calories that you burn during a cardio workout. I do cardio classes and I wondered if there was anything that I could do to increase the amount of calories that I burn during these workouts, to help me lose weight faster? Also, does anybody know how you can train yourself from only being able to do kneeling push ups to full push ups, I have poor upper arm strength, although I do do weight training. Thanks!

I had a possible exposure to HIV 11 weeks ago this thursday. I had a test at 9 weeks and 3 days which came up negative. Obviously I will be having another test at the 12 week mark but just wondered about the following.
At 8 weeks I had acute tonsilitis. If this was a sign of HIV infection and seroconversion would this mean that my body would be making antibodies and that the test at 9.5 weeks should have picked it up. In other words can i assume that the tonsilitis was just that and not in fact a symptom of HIV infection.
I have read that normally signs of infection appear within 5 weeks of contact. is this true?
Also does anyone know the percentage of those who show negative at 9.5 weeks but positive at 12?
Am worrying myself stupid here so would be grateful for anyone who can put my mind at rest.

Many thanks

My 88 yr old grandmother recently had a stroke. She moved in with my mother recently because she needs 24 hour care. The family helps out, but my mother needs help (she is physically disabled, back problems) and has been taking care of her for 2 months. Does anyone know of a national agency that provides companionship for the elderly at a reduced price or volunteers ... or if anyone is from Connecticut, what the best services are?

Here is the thing my husband is very stuborn. I have tried to tell him strait forward he needs to quit. That was a bad idea. I am getting very concerned about his health not to mention I hate the smoke around me and our kids. Some times he doesn't even seem to care about how I feel on the situation. I have told him to try the patch or gum and he wont even consider it. What should I do? Please help!

I need exercises for recovering from a mid-back injury (a strain, nothing terribly serious, just quite painful). It seems all the resources I can find only give lower-back exercises. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have something on my outer vaginal lip that looks almost like a pimple. I think it is an ingrown hair from shaving down there. It hurts so bad is there anything I can put on it to ease up the pain. I don't want to have to go to the doctor about it but I just might because it hurts to sit and even walk. Please give me some advice on what to do.
