The bug bite got really swollen. Then I started noticing these little bumps around it. The swelling went down, but now there's this rash their made up of little bumps. But where the bug bite was is completely clear of the rash. Should I be concerned?

He said I was at 44% which is unimaginable to me. I did calculations on the computer that said I was at 29% which means I can join right now, or if he is right, I have to lose 12%. Does anyone know of a Body Fat calculator that I can use online...that is accurate? Do you think a recruiter could have miscalculated? He had to call someone to do it for him.

Heres my story I took my 7 year old daughter to the dermatologist today, Keep in mind, that this little girl never crys, very strong child. Anyway~the dr comes in and asks how the cream was working for her warts, I replied not very well. He says "well then I guess we will have to freeze them off, and be prepared it will burn and hurt, not gonna lie to u" , but decided to go on with the procedure. He started with 2 on her ankle and she was in some pain, but not to bad. He froze them , and then was looking at other places on her leg, and my daughter which was scared told him that those were just bug bites, he replied, i think i know what bug bites look like a little better than u. But anyways he continures to freeze them off and does not give her any break, she is screaming to the top of her lungs. He says nothing to her, gets up and leaves. I know this does not sound bad to some, but then I leave and go to complain to the board of med, and when i am doing a search, I cant find his name

I live with my Grandfather who is 81 years old. He has always been the smartest person that I have ever known (valedictorian in high school & Vice President of a bank for 40 years), but in the past year his short term memory is going. I just watched a great movie with him and at the end he tells me that he didn't understand a thing about it and when I asked what he didn't understand, it was clear to me that he forgot the whole first part of the movie... He has been taking a prescription drug the past 6 months but it only seems to make him tired and doesnt seem to help. I am more worried than ever & am desperately looking for help with this before it gets really bad, any answers will be appreciated.

A long time ago, when I was a teen, my heartless boyfriend who cheated on me gave me chlamydia. I didn't have it long when I found out about it, but the wierd thing is to treat it they had me mix this powder with water and drink it, they said thats all i had to do(and wait 7 days to have sex again)I haven't been back to the doctor since because I hate to go and I've been very careful who i have sex with. I know I haven't caught it again, but sometimes I wonder if the medicine they gave me even worked because i heard of people taking pills to treat it that's not what they gave me. Even more concerning I have had chronic pelvic pain for years(which i thought was natural)and I'm almost 100% positive that i'm infertile. Is it likely that I got PID which has caused all these problems? And have I had it all this time? or is it more likely that I've had the same std for all these years?(even though I nor any partner i've been with has had symptoms.)

After our school year ended I've been very quiet and not very social and I'm starting to feel bad. I'm usually very attached to my best friend and I feel like we've grown apart. I also feel like I've been sort of distant from my boyfriend of 10 months. What could be wrong with me? I don't enjoy the same things anymore. I used to love going outside and hanging out with my bf and friends but now i just want to sit in my room.

I am 16 and I started my period around 14 or 15. It has been irregular ever since, but in March or February of this year, my period came and lasted for 3 weeks and it has not come back yet. I'm very afraid to tell my doctor because I might have to get tested and I don't want to have any kind of infection or illness. But on the other hand, I want to tell her because someday I want to have kids and I do not want to mess up my body being able to concieve properly. I'm so afraid, so any tips or advice as to what to do would be great. And do you know what this may sound like or have any friends with the same problem? Thanks your answers are deeply appreciated!

One "specialist" will tell you that you need protein to start your day, but another says eat only fruits and fruit juices for breakfast. I'm told I need lots of milk for the calcium, but no dairy products because they contain hormones and we were never meant to consume them anyway. Drink soy instead. Oh no! Not soy! Soy is the devil! Follow the food pyramid, but don't eat much bread. Count calories, watch carbs, and do the fat formula. On second thought, just eat whatever I want til I'm full, but don't overeat. Overeat on these foods but don't eat these others. Nevermind, everything in the store is full of chemicals and they are killing you anyway. Eat organic foods (which I can never afford because they cost three times as much!)
WHY CAN'T SOMEONE TELL ME STRAIGHT ABOUT MY OWN BODY AND NUTRITION? Why is this, of all things, such a mystery? Am I going to have to go to school to be a nutritionist in order to know? Would I even know then? Do I have to buy a farm and raise my own food

Why did it happen if the boy had never experienced sexual attraction towards that age range? Is it something to worry about and should he seek psychological help?

Because I need one to wear during an activity like volleyball. It has to be able to let my ankle move. I had twisted both of them a few weeks ago and my right one got better but my left one didn't. The real thing that really bothers it, is walking on the side of it a little, and I don't really realize that I do it.

It's disgusting to think about it but its also very natural. I just wanted to know why this happens. Even when you dress the wound up after a day or two it needs to be redressed otherwise an odor prevails. The cast is something most people have no choice over when it comes to dressing it from the inside.

I'm very deeply depressed, even on my meds, & I'm afraid I might give up & just go crazy. I'm afraid to go because if I go, then I won't be able to pay my rent & I'll get evicted.
