what do you guys think about shaving that area down there for guys?
I mean, I do it - i'm a 31 year old guy.

I use a trimmer (with a guard adjusted to '5', so my boys are protected...yah!)
I just trim down there above it, and around it , but of course, not too close that guard is a necessary thing to use with the shaving! LOL

Ok - I also shave in my underarm area. What do you all think about this. As far as I see it, it's a good 'cleanup' now and then, and I sweat less down there, you know get sticky, sweaty and stuff down there when there's more hair so..this is better?

What you all think, many of you do it? Comments...thanks
KC

I recently started taking the pill again, after a lil over 2 years. I took it for 3 years before that(2 different kinds) and It never made me sick. I Took my first pill Monday, and by Wednesday, I was sick and throwing up. I felt a little sick the last few days, but hadn't thrown up again, until just a few minutes ago. Do you think this is a Reaction to the pill? And would you suggest I just wait it out, or try to get a different kind?

i have sore and itchy armpits and persistant body odour. ive tried different deodrants, soap. not changed my fabric conditioner or washing powder and i still have the problem. doc prescribed me dri-clor which stings like hell and the next day doesnt seem to work. ive also tried anti-odorant which just makes my armpits itch like hell. they become so sore and itchy it is painful to apply deodrant but even when they are not sore, no amount of soap, shower gel, talc or deodrant can make the smell go away. i was wondering if anyone can help as the doctors help was useless and its really wearing me down. i cant even put my arms up or do a simple thing like walking to the bus stop without stinking and its really starting to affect my life. please help.

Do people who inject vitamin B12 or insulin daily suffer any major problems in the long run? Damaged veins? Permanent marks? etc? The syringes used are 1cc AFAIK.

The lump is dark red with a purple center and is about the size of a mosquito bite. There is no pain and no bruising or swelling around the lump, which is behind my right knee, in the bend of my leg.

My sister, who is only 8 years old, has chest pains on the ride side right under the collar bone when she runs. The precise area is right about where the pectoral muscle becomes thinner near the shoulder. It really bothers her, and she will go to see a doctor, but could you please let me know what it is?

Thanks

My 10 year old daughter has had teeth problems since she was 2 years old. I probably could have prevented it but there is nothing I can do it about it now. I just flossed my daughters teeth and I just noticed she has 2 new cavities.(I hope they are her baby teeth) I am so upset by this. I just got their insurance straight so I am calling first thing tomorrow to make a appt. Do I look like a bad mother?

My husband has A LOT of body hair and he didn't have any until after he turned 19 and went overseas for two years to the Philippines. We waxed his back once, but he bled all over and it was so painful I don't want him to do that again. Is there an alternative to hair removal that doesn't cause serious pain or cost thousands of dollars (ie, laser hair removal)? Also, can anyone explain why he didn't have any body hair his whole life and came back from the Philippines like a gorilla?

I've had eczema since i was born but what everyone else says about there eczema sounds a lot different then what I have. Are there different kinds? people say that it itches and some say the get red bumps. I only have it one my face, mostly around my eyes, and they never itch. Its just get red blotches and sometimes sore. It also seems like the condition of my eyes is determined by the water i use to wash my face.

Any answere would be greatly appreciated.

i was climbing hay bales last year and my ankle snapped back. Assumed it was a sprain, wrapped it and got over it in about a week. In september of this year i walked 2 miles for charity. It hurt really bad after that. now it is only getting worse. I've wrapped it, iced it, wore a brace, NOTHING HELPS! Is it time to go to the doctor? Should i just keep doing what i'm doing?

I have gestational diabetes. My doctor called in a prescription to my pharmacy (Rite Aid) on Friday evening. The guy working there told me that Tricare wouldn't cover any of the cost and Medicare (Part B) wouldn't pay for it because my doctor didn't give a "diagnostic code". I asked how much it would cost without insurance. The guy said that he would call my doctor on Monday and see about either changing my prescription to something Tricare would cover or giving the diagnostic code so Medicare would cover it. I went back Saturday and today, and got the same answer.
I'm supposed to have the testing supplies by Monday, to take to my doctor/diabetes educator/nutritionist appointment in the afternoon.
I'm hoping that everything works out with my insurance so I won't have to pay, but if not, I'll have to pay out of pocket (if I can afford it).

About how much does diabetes testing supplies (meter thing, strips, needles, whatever else I'll need) cost? (I won't need insulin.)
