When I take a shower or bath (and my skin is fully wet), I am able to scratch the clay off my skin. I assumed it was dirt at first, but I don't live in a high clay area, and I exfoliate and shower regularly, so what is happening?

Okay, so I dont have HORRIBLE acne...I just want clear skin! I have tried everything over the counter which never worked, I have gone to a doctor and been given pills to take which didnt help and just made my skin really sensitive and red, I have been given prescribed medicine which only made it worse, I have been prescribed differin which SUCKED, I have tried Proactiv which worked...but not COMPLETLY...it made it better, but I not completely gone. Out of all those things I have tried, each one I gave at least 3-4 months to work and never did. I have been using Proactiv for about 6 months since its the only thing that keeps my face SEMI clear...but its pretty expensive, especially when it doesnt work completely. I have tried getting facials, I have tried getting microdermabrasion, and neither of those helped either. For now im sticking with proactiv just because its the safest way for now, but does anyone know of anything else that could possibly help me?!

I'm not over weight and my BMI is perfect but I have a lil extra weight around thighs and my stomach, and I would live to tone up my chest/arms besides eating well (DUH) what's a good exercise plan/or just regular exercise that would be good for losing fat around those areas and toning muscle there, oh yeah and buns what's good for lifting the buns. I am trying to get in shape for summer. (and please before you answer I am looking for REAL answers lately yahoo answers just has little kids playing around on it just doing whatever they want and its annoying PLEASE real answers) Thanks in advance.

I am having a pinch in my vaginal area during my menstruation. It started last night, my 3rd day. I was 9 days late, it came on and I am having back pains, buttock pains and this pinch, feels like someone is pinching the inside of my lips instead of having stomach cramps. Anyone know what it could be?

I've had a fillin for about 5-6 years on my second molar on the bottom. Terrible toothaches from that tooth started about 4 days ago. Is it possible for me to have tooth pain from this tooth even if it's half fillin and half tooth? What could be the problem?

So my mom and sister are both a bit over weight, while I, on the other hand, am in the 'normal' category. (I just checked all of our BMI's). So for a while we've been casually talking about trying out Nutrisystem. I really don't need to loose that much weight, I just need to get rid of a tiny bit of chub around my waist, in interest of my career. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't put me in an unhealthy weight category if I did it with them.

Also, I wanted to know if anyone has ever tried Nutrisystem and if you recomend it or don't.

I am re-posting this because I missed some details. I do exercise daily, and I am a dancer. I dance during school at an arts school 5 days a week plus after school, so I don't think that's a problem.

Mostly I want to do this with my mom and sister to support them and not have my junk food around the house when they are trying to stick with the diet.

For the past couple of days when I wipe I have been wiping blood. I just finished up my period and I know it isnt that. When I wipe from the front I dont wipe any blood but when I wipe from the back end I do wipe blood. It is like "fresh" blood. I have wiped with baby wipes to see it maybe it was a cut down there (it would of stung) but it didnt. Does anyone have any suggestions on what it couldl be?

I've personally only ever tried alcohol. And from the first sip until my buzz takes about 1/2 hour. Then the buzz lasts as long as I keep drinking. But how long does it take to get a buzz from cocaine or meth or heroin, and how long do the highs last?

I have a friend at work that didn't know what a hot water bottle was until I told him yesterday. He claims that makes me a citified softie. My argument is that a hot water bottle is a country device since country people work harder that city people, and thereby need the bottle to ease aching muscles. So please, this is an uncontrolled study. Knowledge of hot water bottles? Use of hot water bottles? Do you consider yourself a city-slicker or a country-bumpkin?

He has had back pain going on two years now and is scheduled to get a cat scan tomorrow. He THINKS the back pain is from something that is wrong with a disc. Sorry these terms are not technical, I am not exactly sure how to describe the problem. He also says that his hands and arms are numb. He is in Iraq and they won't send him to get an MRI unless they absolutely have to.

Question is, would a cat scan reveal anything to the doctors?

I don't know what is wrong with me. Since I was 17 I haven't had a regular period and now I'm almost 23. There are times I don't get one for months or even a year at a time. At that time, I also gained about 30lbs. and since then have been up and down in the weight department. I have tried to exercise but I'm sometimes I'm soooo lethargic that I can't even get out of bed to even walk around the house. I went to my doctor for a routine physical and she says that it's all in my head. In other words, it's mind over matter. I have a feeling that I have a sluggish thyroid, but when I had my thyroid tested she said the results came out fine. I can't get a full thyroid test at my doctor's office. In order to get one, I need her approval to go to another place but she won't give me one because again it's all in my head.
I started taking vitamins and stopped drinking soda even to see if this would help. I also limited the amount of refined sugar and pasta in my diet but still no avail. Help?

I have cronic headaches daily which require me to take pain relievers every day. (I have been to the doctors...they still dont know why I get these yet.) I do not exceed the daily dosage limit and I switch from Excedrin (which I take the most), Advil, IB Profin, and Tylenol Extra Strength. I"m sure there is some damage being done to my body, but would like more info. I want some HELPFUL advice and info from people who know what there talking about. Thanks for your help.
