In pictures, my child has one red-eye pupil and one that is a milky white color. I have read from other sources that that can mean a possible brain tumor....

I got my lip pierced in November with a straight post and it was fine for two weeks, at which point I was eligible to change my post to a ring. A few days after the change it looked like the ring had split my piercing a little (on the inside of my lip). I figured it was probably normal and it would just heal over, but it turned into nothing more than a raised red bump. I waited weeks for it to heal and go away but it didn't. So I consulted my piercer. He said it wasn't infected, that it was "irritated" by something I must be doing. He said wait and see, that it might heal. But I'm sick of the bump (which gets smaller then larger and smaller then larger but never goes away) and I'm sick of the aftercare. I'm annoyed by this whole experience and just want to take the little sucker out, as I suspect it's not ever going to heal. So can one take their ring out themselves before it has healed? Or could that cause infection or scarring at the site? I just don't want to have to go back AGAIN.

A lot of people may inquire about how to lose weight; however, I need to gain a few pounds and there is not enough information on how to do so. So, with that said, I am a very petite woman and I am tired of hearing "you don't eat" and "you need more meat on your bones." In fact, looking at my size, you may be surprised that I eat 3-4 times a day. But, can someone tell me what is the proper and healthy way to gain a few pounds so I won't look like I'm anorexic. Please give me serious responses.

Whenever it's sunny, I close my right eye instead of squinting like a lot of people. Now, everything in my right eye is brighter than in my left eye. Have I damaged my left eye from too much exposure to the sun?

if someones finger accidently touches a small portion of you hand. Like a couple of months ago, and over that time preiod you washed it like a lot of times with antibacterial soap then....

will it be like they never accidently touched you before because antibacterial soap takes all the bacteria away.

Also because you tool showers over that time and showers make you clean

I am planning on purchasing the Weight Watchers At-Home kit (because I would HATE to go to meetings every week with my busy schedule). The standard kit costs $99.95. Do you think it's worth it? My friend has had great success with Weight Watchers and I hope that it will be as successful for me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm active. I play lacrosse and field hockey, but I am not happy with my body--at all. I'm not one of those obese people that sits on the couch all day eating chips. But my diet is pretty bad and I am not consistent with going to the gym in my off-season. Should I just learn some discipline with my diet and start dedicating myself to training for the lacrosse season...or should I spend the money and hope that I'm as successful as a lot of people have been on Weight Watchers?

I have pain that shoots down my legs and arms constantly, and wrists hurt, my elbows, and even my knees... My knees even pop out of place sometimes! I'm only 16 years old, and I have had a scan for Multiple Sclerosis, which was negative. My doctor keeps telling me it is all in my head, and even prescribed me Zoloft, which is STILL not helping at all.... She says I am depressed and it causing me to feel this pain, but I don't even have anything to be depressed about.... I have been on the Zoloft now since september to no avail.... PLEASE HELP!!!!

I am a mother of a 16 year old that has a very bad acne problem.
We have tried every skin care product that is out there. Nothing helps. She is haveing a very hard time dealing with her face. She
does not want to go to school or go out. She does not want anyone to see her. She does not want to take medication because of the side affects. Lazer treatment we can not afford.
Any herbs or natural way we can treat her acne we are open.
Thank You
