I just started tanning last week for the first time in a few years. I started out at 5 minutes on Wed., went 5 on Thursday, and 7 on Friday. On friday I got burnt - I'm not sure if it's because I upped my minutes, or because they put me in a brand new bed - could be a combination of both. BUT - when I got home, my chest was itchy, and I figured it was just from the burn. I noticed I have little red bumps...and that is actually what is itchy. It's just on my chest, in between my boobs.
Could this just be heat rash? ALSO - i laid on my stomach that day that the rash started, for about 1 minute out of the 7 that I was in the tanning bed. I'm not thinking that this is something that I picked up from the bed, because why would I just have it in the one spot. Also, I don't think it's an allergic reaction to the lotion, because otherwise the rash would be all over. Ugh, it's so annoying - Will it go away????

Okay heres the thing. on the 21st of march i went and had my tooth pulled. the doctor put me on medicine for the pain. The following Saturday i noticed a pink discharge when i went pee but that was it. The monday after that(2nd) i started spotting a brownish discharge.( thats gross i know sorrrrrrryyyy) about 8 days before my period is suppose to start. I've noticed that my breast have been really sensative for about three weeks and believe it or not i got heartburn from french fries. i hardly ever get heart burn. My question is ..do you think the spotting would just be from the medicine messing up my birth control? i want it to be something else but i'm trying not to get my hopes up...... what do you think. no rude answers please. thanks

If every month each ovary has multiple follicles that are "semi-maturing" but not fully to ovulate, doesn't it seem like every month you are wasting tons of eggs?? Only serious answers please.. It just makes sense to me, if every month you have 10-15 follicles on an ovary, then you are going to waste them all and go through menopause quicker??

I have been trying to lose weight and was told that I should replace as many carbs as I can with vegetables. I have been eating a lot of canned green beans since they are cheap and easy to prepare but are they really as good for me as I think they are. Since they are canned does that add a ton of calories, salt and preservatives? I am living abroad so the nutrition facts are not on cans here like they are in the USA.

i am 18 years old and a 34/36 DD. I would like to be a 34 full C. I am wanting the surgery because finding bras has become impossible. i need the cup of a 36DD but the band of a 34. I can't find bathing suits or cute clothes and i'm miserable. i also have found it hard to lose weight due to self image problems...not to mention how painful it is to run! i have indents in my shoulders and when i get my period i cannot even walk down the stairs because they get so sore. i had open heart surgery in 03 at the age of 14 so i am not terribly worried about the pain. i am just trying to decide if it is worth all the pain just to be a few sizes smaller. i like being chesty because i feel feminine but i would like someone to look at my face. i get comments everyday and get yelled at by administrators and teachers at school when i wear something barely lowcut. i can't stand it anymore! but i'm terrified that i'm going to lose sensation in my nipples. advice please?

I am 33 year old male and had an echocardiogram a year ago that showed my left ventricle to be 5.9 centimeters. Six months ago it was interpreted as 6.3 cm based on echo. All other measurements are within normal range...no leaking valves or walls that are too thick. I have many pvcs, and have had them for years, though they seem to get worse with age. I take toprol and and ace (lisinopril). I had two ablations about a year ago for SVT which is cured, but the pvcs seem to be more prevalent now, especially first thing in the morning and after eating. I am curious how serious this enlargement is...like is it more on the mild side or the severe side of the enlargement distribution? I have also had an MRI which showed no ARVD and normal wall motion. Could the drugs I am on, which have only been on toprol for last six months have helped my left ventricle decrease in size despite my many pvcs?

Doctors advice please??
I don't understand why the Red Cross only tests for the hepatitis b core antibody and the antigen. How come they don't test for the surface antibody? Is this antibody not important? Can't this antibody indicate infection, so if they don't test for it can't someone w/ hep b get through?

Why do guys make fun about girls and their periods? You give them a little bit of info and then they use it to make fun of you.

Me and my friends made a bet to see if I can go a whole day without talking... And since my mouth would be closed; should I brush my teeth? It will save me an extra five minutes in the morning... which would give me way more time to sweep my closet, and alphabetize my shoes.

It seems anymore when I talk, I can't talk straight. I'll talk to someone and I'll get ahead of my self and it'll all come out wrong. Sometimes alot giberish. I know what I want to say, but it comes out different. PLus, if i get excited or mad, I can't talk staright. If i want to talk staright, I have to slow myself down and watch myself. It's embarassing. Plus, when someone is talking to me, I'll use the wrong word for something. Is there something wrong with me? Is this a disease? I started noticing this about half a year ago. Is it because i got alot on my mind? is it stress? how can I fix this?

My poor mom is always in pain because soaps dry and crack her hands. She just started a new job at a daycare and it requires her to wash her hands with soap very frequently. At home, to avoid soap she uses anti-bacterial hand sanitizer but they won't let her use it, it has to be a soap. She was heart broken because hand soaps make her hands dry, crack and bleed which causes her a lot of pain. She doesn't want to quit her job because of this, she really likes it there. If you know of a gentle soap...I'm talking super gentle here then please let me know...thanks :)

I listened and heard it myself- it's heard just before the next beat is heard, but only a few times a minute. I've been told before that i had an irregular heart beat, and that dr. didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal. I'm very healthy otherwise, just turned 34 yrs old. What is the difference between murmur and irregularity? Should I be concerned? And are there any restrictions I should know of??
