There's a round, red sore on my hand about the size of a nickel. From what I've read, it might be ringworm, but the edges aren't as raised as I've seen in pictures.

What is it and how do I treat it?

im having my choir concert tomorrow. i really don't want to go. the teacher said if were not going we have to have a note by our parents a week before. but i didn't do that. im on the top row on the risers and i get so hot and dizzy. i told my friends and they say shut up. there's no back thing that you can lean on. today when we practiced in choir, i got so hot and i was wearing a short sleeved shirt with pants and flip flops. most of the other people wore sweat shirts and no one else was hot but me. what should i do? i can't go to the concert. the teacher said it's worth most of your grade and i don't want to get a bad grade in choir. im a great student who always gets A's in choir. he told me i was his favorite student because im the only one who really sings and i have good conduct. everyone else is always getting introuble but me. i don't want to let him down. were singing ten songs. i get so hot. it's like flashes of hotness that last ten seconds. what should i do? we have to wear these hot robes and there's these bright lights that shine on us while were singing. even without the lights, i still get hot. it's gonna be way worse at the concert. what should i do if i get hot? i talked to the teacher and he said i have to go and i drink enough fluids. im not pregnant or dehydrated. what if i get hot at the concert? i know i will. i told my grandma about it and she can't wait to see me. i can't let her down either. i told my mom and she doesn't care. how can i avoid getting hot? when i get hot, i blush and people stare. i feel weird and can't concentrate. help!

I am doing a science report on football injuries and I am focusing in on football concussions. Does anyone know a good place on the web where I can find good information about concussions and their later-life affects, as well as statistics on the number of football players with concussions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm 14 and well... I want a baby. I know thats odd but I do. I know that having a child is alot of work temper wise.. and such, I can't help wanting one, I know I am not ready for a child at all but I still really want one. I have had thease odd feelings to be a mom sence I was 13. Their were even times when I would think I was pregnet, but I knew I was not.. because I could not be not ever having sex before. I think having children at my age is dumb because you are just not ready, I even think having sex at this age is dumb because you just really are not ready.. I don't know I just don't understand why I want a baby. I feel like I am going go crazy if I don't become a mom soon and I don't know why.

No, flossing would not help as I had a root die and infection as below the gum line. (had root canal and crown done A chronic infection coursing through your veins is disastrous especially after 6 years.. I am deficient in vitamins A, B, C, D, E and more. Does anyone have any actual experience in this without guessing? After a few months, my levels came up to barely normal in A, B, D. Then I stopped taking A and the symptoms returned: heart palpitations, bi gemeni, sick at my stomach, blurred vision (even after cataract surgery.replacements..)and low blood sugar (down to 40), extreme itching if ate more than 10 carbs in one day. (not thyroid - TSH etc normal, no fungus) No, low blood sugar did not cause vitamin deficies, however, low blood sugar was a symtpom of vitamin deficiences. After taking A again, my symptoms disappeared. I am taking lots of organic vitamins. ... Has anyone had any actual experience or read anything factual about the above? No guesses, please.

Trans fat, existing only from the artificial partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, is terrible for your health and not needed in any levels in your body. It's completely artificial, and is only used because it saves companies a little bit of money, and makes food taste a little better - it lasts longer and keeps foods more moist.

However, while this oil makes the salty, fatty foods served at most fast food and chain restaurants even worse for you, restaurants continue to use it. There are oils out there like sesame seed oil and olive oil which even when processed, are still good for your health, filled with beneficial unsaturated fats.

I just want to know why more isn't being done to prevent these restaurants from removing trans fat from their menus? New York City has passed a law banning it, but how far behind is the rest of America? Couldn't the huge healthcare debts in America be subsided significantly if trans fat were eliminated from all foods?

I've tried several types of pills and all make me frequently nauseous. I've been on ortho-tri-lo for a year and even that makes me nauseous. I always feel the worse right after the 3rd pill of the new pack, but many times throughout the month as well. I take the pill at night with food, but nothing seems to help. I don't know what other kind of pills will help since I'm already on a low dose kind. I've tried the shot, but gained too much weight on it, plus I don't want to deal with the calcium loss in my bones. I'm hesitant to try the ring or patch because I'd rather know I took the pill and was protected. So, any advice on the nausea? Any suggestions on what other kinds I would try with minimal side effects? Thanks!
