Health - 28 December 2006

So I recently went to the dermo for my acne..she perscribed this regimen: natural skin(2% SAL and GLY acids) with differin in the morning and at night natural skin with duac at night plus an antibiotic. So I have done this regimen for a week and my skin is red as can be and it is very dry. I was wondering if this will clear up my acne complety because I really want to get rid of it and will it make my pore smaller because right know everything is the same..no change. ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY REALLY MOISTURIZING MOISTURIZERS

What do HPV warts look like? I know they are usually raised abnormal marks in the genital area, but is it possible for them to look like just freckles or moles, and be flat, different colored marks down there?

After much debate, research, money-saving, and endless anticipation, I have decided to have breast augmentation. I spoke of this in a previous question and got many negatives toward the surgery. Now, I AM having it done; the problem exists with my Dad. How do you tell your Dad you are having a boob job? I am an only child, and so is he. We are close, but I can't stand the thought of him knowing about this. I just don't even want to say anything at all, and maybe he won't say anything either when/if he notices. My husband thinks I am acting crazy and thinks I should tell him. He said, "Honey, he's GONNA know!" But I don't want him to. What would you do?

Is it true that if you small muscles, you lift small weights. If you want big muscles, you lift big weights? Do I use dumbbells to lift weights to go down to 190 lbs? Please help me.

I'm 14 and I'm 5'4". I have no clue how much I weigh but I'm guessing like 90 and I want to gain at least 15. I play soccer, and I'm playing indoor soccer right now so I want to gain some more weight so I'm stronger and tougher. Don't say go to the gym. Does anybody know a way where I can gain that much weight quickly?

My mum's visiting from overseas and her tooth fell out. She'll be back to her home country in a few weeks where she will get the space permanently filled, but she's wondering if a dentist could provide a stop-gap (pun intended) measure in the meantime. If there is such a thing as a temporary tooth replacement, how much does it cost?

Im havin an eye problem that started 2 days ago. I think its an eye strain but im not sure. I cant seem to find an eye specialist thats not willing to take my money, keep in mind... im only 16 -_-" and broke.
My vision is kinda off by a little. I tend to see shadowed letters.. like the shadow font in word perfect programs. Also i see the another picture of the edge of objects. But the 2nd picture of it is transparent and in a little above and to the right of the real object im looking at.
It could be , because i spend alot of time on my computer which is about a foot and a half from me, and my tv which is 1 foot away from me. Could it be an eye strain? maybe stress? and will it go away?
in need of desperate help here.
