So...I have a skin tag on my nipple. I have read about cutting it off, tying it off so that it shrivels and dies, and other various pastes and such that are supposed to make skin tags disappear or die. But these have only been applied to backs, necks, or under breasts. Since it is on my nipple, I am trying to avoid pain (understandably). If you have any advice, please let me know.

last week my manicurist cut my nail bed. (yes, she's fired) i cleaned the cut with betadine and put a band aid with an antibiotic ointment on it. it is still very painful, and now my finger tip is slightly swollen, red with a little bit of pus. (gross i know) i'm worried about an infection and/or blood poisoning. what are the symptoms of blood poisoning, and has anyone had a similar cut or injury? and when should i be worried? i hate going to the doctor!

I'm a stocky build trying to strip away the fat and keep the muscle. I don't do protein shakes, or fat burners. I stay chemical free. Good old fashioned hard work. Like Rocky Balboa in Rocky !V hahaha. Sylvester Stallone earned his muscles the old school way along with football star Herschel Walker who just did Push ups a lot. Old School stuff and old fashioned hardwork is the foundation for success in life... No gimmicks.

If depression can be triggered by tragic times in life like deaths, divorces, hard moves, etc...then why is it considered a chemical imbalance? isn't the chemical imbalance simply caused by deep sadness. And isn't sadness caused by sad things? It's just I've been taking antidepressants since about may 0f 2006, and only recently am i wondering whether it's something I can control by taking action to make my life better, or is it just a problem with my chemicals? by the way my family life has been tramatically difficult and thats when I started getting depressed.

My friend is getting ready to get a tattoo and would like to cover up a scar with it. However, he's afraid that it will hurt more with the needle over the scar. What do you think? Is scar tissue a bad place for a tattoo? Will it really hurt him more?
Thanks in advance for all your answers!!

Every night that I don't take my sleep medication my eyes feel like they can't keep shut, and when I try to keep them shut they twitch until I have to open them again. I was just wondering what could cause that. Thanks for your help. :D

I've been taking Yasmin birth control, and started my current pack on December 31st (the Sunday during the end of my menstrual cycle). I forgot to take my pill for 3 days in a row, so I took them all on the end of the third day. I became nauseous that night, and vomitted an hour or two after taking the pills (1/4/07). I stopped taking the pill after that, because it wouldn't be effective anymore, because of the amount of pills I had missed. My period ended on January 2nd, but I just had this dark brown discharge out of no where. What is it? Could taking three birth control pills consecutively have caused my body harm?
I'm 18 years old, by the way, and have not been sexually active since September or October.

i went to the orthodontist today to get impressions done for my top.
and asked about the bottom retainer and they said the doctors with an other patient in will readjust it next time you come in to pick up your new top retainers wich i thought was a little wierd.
but i guess what im trying to say is m retainers do fit still. but jsut feel a bit off. or strange.
thiers not cracks or anything. can the doctor bend it back to fit better?
and should i continue to wear it untill i see him in 2 weeks to get my new retainers?

This is a stupid question but it's been bothering me lately. Ok, i'm 15 and I'm uncircumcized, and this is really bothering me because sometimes I see girls on here say that uncircumsized guys are gross and stuff. I don't know why my parents had to be so stupid and tell them to leave it on because were not even jewish or whatever!! I really want to get circumcized because I don't like it that way, and most girls don't like it. I want to know if adults can still get it done, and how much does it cost? I really want to get circumcized because this is really bothering me!. What do I do for this?
