The whiteheads are easy to handle, but what do to about the pimples that are under your skin? I get them sometimes and they take forever to go away. Putting acne treatment on them seems pointless since the medication is sitting on top of this 'bump'. I know popping them is a bad idea, and with these, there's really nothing to "pop" because it doesnt appear to have a visible pore. ( I have proactiv and use it regularly.)

i know it helps lose weight, but being allowed to eat a lot of fatty foods? is that good for your heart? doesn't our nervous system run on carbs? i mean i know many cheeses have a lot of fat in them, and not allowed to eat fruit? i only need to lose 10 pounds, but i don't think this diet is for me, i love my orange juice and whenever i do have a sandwish (maybe once or twice a week) i use whole grain bread which i know is healthy? any tips? advice? i don't know everything about this low carb stuff, just trying to get the facts here, thanks!

I think i may have Anal Warts.

I have had warts on my hands, and they seem to resemble what i now have around my rectum.

I am sexually active, but monogamous for over 7 months. My partner is 100% clean as far as i am aware.

They are getting slightly larger with time (noticed for about 3 months now) and seem to be spreading within the area. They are small and slightly red in color.

I WILL be going to the doctor...so please don't say 'you just need to go see a doctor'...i know, i would just like to see what the yahoo community thinks first.

PLEASE HELP!

On Friday night I was in my half-bathroom cleaning, there is no counter top in this bathroom only a porcelain sink and pedestal that the plumbing runs through. I slipped and (I am so embarrassed) knocked myself completly out. I woke up on the bathroom/bedroom floor and when I tried to stand the pain in my head was so severe that it brought me to my knees. Iced my head, I actually cracked a porcelain sink. I have had varying degrees of the following and although its is better I am still having symptoms:

1. Blurred vision/eyes hurt/ with extended computer use at work and or reading or writing.
2. Constant headache with varying degrees of pain depending upon whether or not I am doing work/reading/writing.
3. Loss of depth perception which also varies depending upon what I am doing. From mild to severe.

Unable to get to an appropriate physician have no health insurance.

How concerned should I be?
Some suggestions on what I can do? Should do? etc.? Worried!!!!

For about three years, I would go on a binge of about two months on and 4-6 months off. The two months on would be almost every day, about 1/3 of a gram a day give or take. For the first couple years all was fine, then lately I began to feel like crap. Sometimes my chest feels tight, brain feels heavy, or theres a little sharp pain behind my sternum. It doesn't feel like my heart but it's the same area and that can't be good. Lungs perhaps? but anyway...

I didn't do it for the last 7 months, then I did just a little the other day. I felt like crap, and said the heck with this. I don't want to die or damage my body. I definitely feel better as the days go on and that 7 month mark gets longer.

I am 28 and pretty healthy. Is it possible I damaged something? Is there a medicine or vitamin I can take to help my body? Should I go to the doctor and get an MRI or cat-scan for more details, or am I young enough that quitting should fix me? thanks

I have 'low thyroid' ... I recently read on-line that dairy products can have an affect on the supplements I take, but I couldn't find out more. I know I could do a search, but want to hear from others like me as to their experiences with dairy and supplements, too.

My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship and only see eachother once ever 2 months or so. Which means I go quite some time without sex. He is rather...um...large. Just a couple of times when we were done having sex I had some light bleeding. Once was understandable because like hours later I got my period. Does/Has anyone else ever experienced this?

A week ago today, I thought I had started my period. So I decided to start taking the pill right then (I've been on it before, but was starting up again), instead of waiting for the following Sunday. But the next day, I realized I hadn't started (it was probably spotting), so I didn't continue with the pill. In all, I just took one pill.

Now my period is late. Is it possible that my cycle is off because I had taken one BC pill?

I have a pair of glasses with plastic frames. I broke them a while back and tried to crazy glue them back together. Well, it didn't work, and there is glue residue on the frames. What do I use to get the glue off the frames, that won't eat away at the plastic itself?? Nail polish remover didn't work.

Hello.
My sisiter-in-law is a heavy smoker and smokes heavily in the house. She has 3 small children.
My nieces and nephew are CONSTANTLY getting respiratory problems, (i.e colds, bronchitis, sinus infections) and my nephew has asthma. He has to take breathing treatments and sometimes it gets really bad.
When the kids are sick, she continues to smoke in the house and seems to have no regard for them, or even realise that if she didn't do that, they may not get sick as much, not to mention, the smoking indoors isn't helping when they ARE sick!
I want to talk to her. I don't want to tell her to quit, as I know she never will. But I do want to suggest she smoke outside instead, ESPECIALLY when they are sick (as they are currently)
We live in Florida. It's not that hard to do.
The only thing is, I am so afraid she is going to get angry with me or defensive, and I don't want that.
But, I care greatly about my nephew and nieces.
PLEASE HELP!
How do I do this????
This has to stop!

I'm 22 and have this very rare condition where my body cannot produce estrogen at all on its own and it will not have monthly period on its own(everything else is fine except estrogen).

Anyway I've been on a pill since 18(they had to induce my puberty) which is mainly pregnant mare urine, and they took me off it a month ago to test my estrogen level. I haven't had my period for two months. I went to a new endocronologist and he won't let me start on this new medicine(I'm not on any hormone medicine now) until my period starts. I asked the nurse how many days should I wait before calling the doc that I haven't had my period yet. She said 4 days.

What's the harm that I should start on this new medicine? My body can't produce hormones on its own!! and at the end of May I'm supposed to have my period which I know will never come.

Suggestions?

I have heard that counting calories works best. But I have also heard that 6 smaller meals a day works best. Which one do you think is best? I'm not sure which one I should stick to. The small meals makes me feel like Im over eating too much and the calorie counting is hard since I dont know how many calories are in everything I eat. Advice please?

Why is he still in charge? He has no right to be in charge, he violated us as americans, he has set our nation in danger and lost our face in the world, he tramples the free and brave, he is an absolute hypocrite that marks others as evil and claims to be good, he is bad, away with him I say. Write the elected and let them know your an advocate of Beast and I will declare to them I am an advocate to cast out congress and senate as well.
We ought to revoke these peoples powers with a well armed and organized protested presented revolt marching to D.C. and taking the leadership away from that evil gang there.
