If a person has scabies and uses a permethrin cream like nix to get rid of it, and it becomes obvious several days later that there are still some scabies left, why do they have to wait at least 7 days before they can use the permethrin cream again?

She's in her mid early sixties, her eldest sister died from cancer, her other sister has had breast cancer and recovered but is now battling another form of it, and my grandma's mum and auntie died from bowel cancer.

Now my grandma is having lots of problems, dietary changes etc made no difference and she has been referred to a consultant, what will he do? What's the procedure now? Is it serious that she is seeing a consultant?

Please don't tell me to relax, I'm not stressed or fretting, please just somebody explain to me what could be going on.

Thank you.

I had a urinalysis done and it came out with 2+ protein and 3+ blood in my urine. A microscopic examination of the urine showed 11-30 red blood cells in my urine and mucus threads. What does this mean?

1) If I have groin hernia, which I think Ive had it since I was a kid and now im 21, can it be treated and will it recur? As I heard hernia can recur. If so, how high are the possibilities.
2) My stomach seems to bloat, and I think it is wind, its been like that for quite some time, is it caused by hernia?
3) Is it normal to have difficulties to bend down to touch my feet when I am standing if a person have groin hernia.
4) If I go through surgery, usually how long will I be admitted and what are the procedures, plus, how long will I take to recuperate.
5) What are the surgery’s side effects?
6) After a hernia repair surgery, can i do sit ups as normal people?
7) Does anyone know how much does it cost, i mean quote me the highest surgery fee for a hernia operation in a government hospital in Malaysia. (if u happen to be in Malaysia)


i need both professional(doctors) and non-professional answers on this. if some of u can only answer a few questions, no worries, please write too. thanx

My doc did a glucose tolerance test on me. She told me last thursday I "have diabetes". She said she will be referring me to a dietician. What else can I expect? Will I get to use one of those finger poking monitors? (I am in Canada)

Has anyone overweight ever had the experience of developing a rash around the belly button area, or between any other areas where your skin rubs together? I get these rashes commonly (usually belly button or backs of knees) and I have tried using Lotramin Jock Itch spray (as it seems to work under the same basic principle), but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.

Thanks.

P.S. - PLEASE no smart-alec folks telling me to lose weight - believe me, I'm already trying to, in a very health-oriented manner. However, I must live with the negative sides until the weight comes off.

I like dark brown because they are warm and look quite mysterious.

Why does no-one seem to like the colour brown apart from the fact they are the most common as most people I know have blue eyes?

I've been recently told I have a fatty liver with inflammation but the outlook and severity differ in different doctors. I've had one doctor say its SERIOUS while others say its MILD. Some say its treatable (only weight loss, diet, exercise) and reversible some say its not as easy. Who should I trust after seeing a multitude of doctors? Problem is I think maybe I should seek an asian doctor instead. Being asian, I was told that this is a condition that is prevalent in asians, even skinny ones whereas this condition for caucasians happens more to the obese-morbidly obese. My line of thinking is that asian doctors understand "our" phsyiology much better and probably have experience treating asians with this condition since most asians tend to like seeing asian doctors. Is this a good idea? Because I've been getting a lot of questions unanswered from "caucasian" doctors I dont' think they really know how to treat me. A lot of wishy-washy responses.
