Out of the blue, I just got a mole on my fingertip about two weeks ago. It's flat, tiny and very dark brown. Is it normal to have moles magically appearing on yourself (especially the fingertip, of all places)? Is it skin cancer? I always use sunblock (even though I live in perpetually foggy San Francisco) and I'm never outside for long. Help me? Please?

I am looking to buy one for my dorm room so nothing large or fancy, but I'd still like for it to be accurate. Digital would be nice too. What sort do you own and where did you purchase it from?

I have one prescription (antidepressant 37.5 mg. once a day) that the doctor only allows one or two refills each time, so I have to call her office every month or two for a refill, which takes 10 to 15 minutes on hold. It also takes their office 2 or 3 days to call the refill in. Other refills from my neurologist for migraines allow me 12 refills so I can go to the doctor for an annual visit (no annoying phone calls each month or two at all). I've been seeing this doctor for 15 years, am a middle-aged married mom with 2 children, not suicidal, and seem low to no risk for drug dealing/selling and pharmacies only allow you to refill once a month anyway. Why does the doctor do this and is there anything I should or can do about this irritating situation? I just ran out over the long holiday, they just filled the prescription with no refills this time as she was out of the office, so I'll be calling in 2 or 3 weeks again!

My dad and uncle both were diagnosed with having gallstones last year and had their gall bladder removed. I have some symptoms, diarrhea, nausea, bloated, gassy. etc. Do you think I have it? Should I consult my doctor? Thanks.

My three year old son dropped a fairly heavy toy train on his toe a few hours ago- he really screamed and went on crying for a while and his toe-nail turned purple almost immedietely. He's been limping and since going to bed has been waking up clearly in considerable pain. I've given him calpol and he's settled for now. I'm not sure whether to take him to the Doctors tomorrow as I know toe injuries usually right themselves and I don't know wether or not to send him to nursery and generally how seriously I should take it. He won't let me put ice or anything on it, but I'm worried because the toe is starting to swell. Any advice...?

I have found books on pets that are deaf or books on pets that are blind but not both.

Does anybody know a resource that I can use to help me help my pet - I've had him a long time and putting him to sleep is just not thinkable for me right now.

this is a very serious question so please respond seriously.

i have always been home schooled and there's never been any peanuts or anything that involves peanuts around the house. i always wanted to try it. I started public school this year and my friend offered me a peanut butter sandwich, so i took it. I soon began to get a rash all over my face, neck, and arms. I couldnt really breathe that well either. has this ever happened to anyone before? not knowing they were allergic to something they really wanted and when they got it something happened. everyone was laughing at me and now my friends cant bring anything that involves peanuts around me. I feel bad about it because i dont want them to stp eating something they like becase of me. what shuould I do?

Are there any good ways (medication or otherwise) to decrease a sex drive? Not just for a spur of the moment sort of thing, but in general? I know it's a weird/too much info-type question, but I made a pledge of sexual abstinence, so.. yeah.

I believe I have poor circulation in my hands, they are often cold and sometimes stiff and numb when other people's aren't. It isn't a big deal yet, and it only happens every once in a while. Anyway, know any natural remedies for helping with this?

I once heard that you can dip your hands in extremely cold water and leave them there for a while, and then dip them in extremely hot water and leave them there and that is supposed to help. Could this work?

I am okay in the morning but as the day wears on I just have to eat something sweet and when I start I can't stop, there must be something I can eat to take away the craving. Any tips would be much appreciated.

sinusitis. But after 4-5 days, I developed a bad cough and my nose is stopped up. I've been sneezing like crazy and I'm short of breathe. It hurts when I breathe in. I don't think it's sinusitus. Is anyone a nurse that can tell me what this might sound like?
