I shave my legs almost everyday because they grow back really fast. But from the razor, it scratches my legs. When I shave I don't press hard at all. And now my legs are like all screwed up cause I have alot of scratches and scars. I tried using an electric razor and it doesn't get all they hair off.
1. What razor do you recommend for me?
2. What can I do to make the scratches and scars less noticable?

I went to the doctor this morning because my seasonal allergies have been really bad this year and she wrote me a prescription for Flonase and Zyrtec each once a day. I got it filled and immediately took the medication about 5-6 hours ago. I really don't feel much different.

Does either medication take a lot of time to work?

Does it take days to build up the medicine to working?

Yes I know I'm trying for instant gratification, but I could use some relief!

My son needs to see a dentist. I do work but don't have insurance. The social services here are giving me the run-around and taking forever. There are a few clinics I have found but don't know how to check them out. Please help.

30 minutes before tanning, I always apply sunscreen to my face since sunscreen takes about that long to soak all the way into your skin. I always keep a towel over my face too but I heard that UV rays can pass through anything that water can. So I'm thinking the towel isn't enough. Is there any kind of product out there specifically FOR indoor tanning use on the face?? Maybe an aftercare product?? I don't want to have to pay the price 20 years later with age spots and wrinkling skin..so anything preventative im willing to try.

Okay, here's the story I used to be fairly inactive, but have always eaten fairly healthy. About 7-8 months agoI weighed 210 (I'm 6'3") and then I got a job this past march at a sports store, which made me more active, I got a younger, more energetic dog, which got me out more, I ate a little less, and started lifting weights. Now, about 8 months, and having a different but still active job, i found I was down to 180. My stomach was flat (still had slight man boobage, but very, very slight), and even though I eat large amounts of food, mainly "healthy" food and kicking my soda habit, I continue to lose weight. This time last week was when I weighed 180, I now weigh 175. It seems I can't stop my body from losing weight now, is this fine, or am I paranoid? I never seem hungry anymore, and I can skip meals without a second thought. Perhaps my stomach has shrunk?

ok...so I had to go for my yearly physical exam...I'm 28 by the way...I work out, run, lift weights, and so on...but anyways...I wanted to take an HIV/AIDS test before my girlfriend and I started a sexual relationship...so while we were at it, I got an erectile dysfunction test...but it was really awkward...becuase both the doctor and I are good looking (not meant in a gay way!)...and I had to take all my clothes off in front of him for a full test...I had to masturbate into a cup-like conatiner, so he could anlyze my ejaculate...it was sick and awkward us talking with eachother about it with it in his hand...well anyways...he had to touch me too and stuff to feel for difformitities...am I normal for enjoying another man touching me? Like, it didn't seem like a gay enjoyment...it just felt good having a strangers hands touch me...can't explain...help?

I'm really worried about my best friend. She's 5'4"ish and weighs like 90lbs.
She used to be a little overweight but she really wasn't too bad. But ever since the guy she liked told her she was not "good enough" for her, she totally flipped out and started saying how she was going to go anorexic. I didn't think much of it because we used to kid around a lot. Well, since she first decided to lose weight, she's lost apx. 30lbs and she's not stopping. She's become obsessed with her weight. She hasn't been eating, she's been having people buy her diet pills, she's exercising like crazy, and she's always saying how "fat" she is...
I just recently did some research on anorexia and I found out that she's well into this disease. I'm also afraid that she might be throwing up too, because her mom has asked me and sometimes she'll just leave to go to the bathroom when no one pays attn.
Now that I know what can happen, I'm really scared for her. Is there anything I can do without upsetting her?
