Health - 12 December 2006

Apprx 2 weeks ago, I noticed a red bump on the inside of my ring finger (non dominant hand). It is slightly painful when I touch it (I stopped touching it). It appeared, at first, to be a blister. It has a center like pimple would have, but the center appears to semi transparent where the surrounding raised area is hardened and red. The surface of the blemish is smooth with no edema. The skin surrounding this blemish is not affected. Could it be some kind of wart maybe?

just think for a second...... more and more ppl are getting cancer, being born with diseses, adhd, add etc. if there was a complete ban of fags( none in shops etc) dont you think that would be brilliant, i know it may cause a bit of upset in the short time run- but in the long time run- ppl will start thanking us and the further genarations will be much more healthier. I know they make lots of money by selling them but we're rich enough as it is. Think about Africa- very poor. i dont see any harm with banning all fags. Do ya reakon i should start a campaign about this?...who would care to join me eh? xx

I know that Accutane is the best option for me but I think the side effects are too great. Is there something that works really well that is less damaging to the body? I know people will answer with Proactive, but what are some other solutions?

I have a young adult son with high fungtioning autism who is currently using the medication as a mood stablelizer but is not really able to articulate any strange side effects he may be feeling. He is really on edge and clearly unhappy.
I really need to be directed to a knowledgable web site that can address this issue. Medical professionals show little interest or have little time to address this concern. Thanks.

I want to have 2 ear piercings on the upper part of my left ear but I'm afraid of infections. My classmate had pierced the upper part of her ears and it was infected after a week. Although the wound had healed, her ears became swollen and they still are! Another friend of mine told me that I could be blind if it is pierced at the wrong places.....I really want to have upper ear piercings but I am not willing to risk my health for the sake of beauty if there's 70% possibility that I will have infections.

My friend has hiccups that won't go away and I wanted to give him some good advice on getting rid of them. One method I'd heard of is stopping intractable hiccups with digital anal massage? Anyone know if this works?

I just purchased a 200 I.U. of Vitamin E pills but is it better to actually take the pills with water or to apply the vitamin E in the pills directly to the area you're trying to restore? Also, is Cocoa butter a better option than Vitamin E?

I had 4 of my wisdom teeth removed in April but recently my gums and teeth have started to hurt. Not tooth ache pain but just a dull twinge now and again. I was wondering if this was due to them moving as there is now more space? They seem a little more heat sensitive too but again no biggie?! Any ideas?
