I got a bit of a sunburn yesterday and I'm wanting it to go away as soon as possible (it's not that severe and it barely hurts but my skin is all pink)
I'm putting on a thin layer of silver sulfadiaze or something like that for burns once a day and aloe regularly and I'm taking advil and drinking lots of water....is there anything else that would help?
Thanks so much!

(I just posted this in mens health, but wanted to see more answers)

For the last month or so when I have been going to the bathroom (#2) I have been seeing blood. Well for the first 2 weeks I was like okay this is weird but nothing to get worked up about, and then I started to have pain in that area throughout the day. Well I started to smoke pot to help ease the pain, but now its gotten really excruciating. And yesterday was the first time I noticed I even had blood in my boxers, so now its not only when I go to the bathroom. I saw some previous questions on this subject and some people mentioned colon cancer and I started freaking the heck out!! I'm 19 if that helps. Well I want to go to the doctor but can someone tell me what there exactly going to do. If there going to be doing something crazy then are there any over the counter drugs that would help. I'm like literally in pain throughout the day. Thanks.

Im a 19 year old, overweight shut in who just lost my best friend and father ive ever known. Life has just been going to hell and I know that the key to being depression is excersice, and being surrounded by those who love you. But thats not enough. I was feeling better, even enough to ask out a girl but she turned me down. It really hurt to know that im so pathetic no one would want me. I have even been putting off college because im scared of the world and i have no energy. I sleep almost 12 hours a day. I tried to lose weight, but gave up. Ive been this way for a year or two, but things got worse when my grandpa died two months ago. I blocked it out and its really starting to hit me that hes gone. This is the first time ive talked about my feelings, so my question is what can I do to get out of this depression? I have no friends, a good but non- interested family, and i feel like im on the verge of just giving up all together. Im not expecting a miracle answer, just some help.

Everytime I visit my gramps I'm subjected to vicious second hand smoke because my aunt is his caretaker and she smokes like a chimney. She's so hardcore that she has three ashtrays for every room in the house, not to mention two packs near them. She chainsmokes upon waking in the morning, all throughout the day, and right after dinner. It's f***ING disgusting! Of course I can't say anything about it because it'd be rude, it is her home too!

But I'm getting an itchy throat and I feel a sinus infection coming on, too. The clothes in my suitcase - which I haven't even taken out yet! - also reek of smoke!

So my question is - what can I do to protect myself while I'm visiting? I hear drinking a steady and large amount of green tea works. Any other suggestions?

My problems started after I returned from America a week ago. At first I thought it was jet lag but now its far worse. I'm on the edge of paranoia and think scenes from 28 days later are gonna happen (I saw this 2 years ago but I think it has a connection), plus I'm generally nervous now, thinking I'm ill when I'm not, and I cannot go to sleep without watching a film or two/TV, or reading an entire book. I need noise in the background. I eventually fall asleep at like 3am when it gets light. I know I'm tired because my body is twitching now. I'm 13 and knackered...advice?

I had a cycling accident yesterday and busted my hip and leg up pretty nicely. I had no fractures and didn't want to waste 6 hours waiting in E/R. A friend gave me a couple of hydrocodones for the pain. I may have to submit to drug test on Thursday or Friday. I just didn't think about the fact that these pills might show up! I have never taken these at any other time except once years ago for oral surgery. Any ideas to ensure that I didn't screw myself by not thinking!!?

Women who have actually had BOTH?
Do you prefer circumcised or uncircumcised?
Try to think of the thing, not the guy's technique. And only if you have tried both and know what you're talking about!

I think I have it..... I get in fights with my parents and argue with them all the time because they are just annoying and everything they say is annoying and stupid. I never agree with them on purpose and when they tell me to do something that I am about to do anyway I wont do it. I always end up yelling at them and whenever this happens i think its my moms fault or my dads because they look at me disappointedly and stuff.... Do you think I might have it... and if I do, how do I tell my parents that I think I have it?

I'm just wondering because I think I'm experiencing it. I've been worrying about my boyfriend a lot! Especially when he sleeps, because he likes to sleep a lot and I'm afraid the something is going to happen to him. He was never like this before untill the beginning of summer.(one reason could that I worry bout him sleeping is my sister died in 2004 in her sleep and I was really close with her). I'm just afraid that I'm going to lose someone I love again. He tells me that nothing will happen but I can't help it but to thing for the worst. And another thing last Sunday my father had to a stroke and It really scared me. All these things that normally don't bother me are. Am I experiencing Anxiety? How do you feel when you have Anxiety?

My eyeglasses precription changed from -2.75 to -3.25 for both eyes. I just got my new glasses (first new ones in four years). I have pain in my eyes and a bad headache is this normal when your eyes are adjusting to new glasses? (This has nothing to do with eye dilation that was over two weeks ago) I have been wearing new glass for almost 3 days now. Thanks for any advice. :)
