I break out in itchy bumps on my forearms when I am in the pool and sun. I need to find something to prevent this other than wearing a long sleeve shirt in the pool. Do you have any suggestions.

Incase a barber uses a razor blade on an AIDS infected person and then unknowingly uses the same blade on a non infected person. Can AIDS be contracted this way?

Serious answers would really be appreciated, I have this kind of reaction whenever I eat wheat and yet the allergy tests don't show that I am allergic to wheat. But when I eat wheat I start to cough so much that I start to choke and can't breathe. I have seen doctors about this and all they do is give me puffers to use which don't help. Thanks in advance!

I have Scabies right now and I've been treating it with the cremes and stuff for about the past 2 days. Every now and then I feel little sensations on the areas affected and it feels like there are bugs crawling on me. I don't know how much of is my imagination running away from me or topical itch-relivers wearing off. It's really really creepy!

I have all the symptoms of an overactive thyroid, but when my doctor sent me for a blood test (Thyroid function test), the test results came back normal. What is wrong with me? How can I have all the symptoms, and not have the disease?

I noticed the very recent appearance of an odd dark "freckle" blotch, about the circum. of a small pimple, on the left inside of my mouth (left cheek).

There is a little bit of soreness in this same area when I brush. I've looked at the dark blotch with a flashlight, and it just looks how a regular freckle might look on the surface of the skin.

My concern, though, is that I have somewhat fair skin and reside in Arizona, and have in the past spent several hours in the Sun (I rarely wear sunscreen).

Could this dark freckle possibly be melanoma, or just a benign freckle inside the mouth?

Do you think there will come a day when pretty much everyone has some form of STD or another? Will it one day be unusual to be "clean?" Can you see people being divided into sort of 'clans', AIDS group here, herpes group there, etc. How do you feel about this? Why do you suppose STD's are so out of control?

My sister was recently told she has breast cancer. I am her big brother and not sure how to help get through this ordeal. I am so afraid of losing her. But I want to be supportive and not bring her down. What can I do?

I recently got a kitten about 3 weeks ago. My eyes get dry and itchy, but never red. I sometimes get a headache, is this headache part of the allergies?

If I keep the cat wouldn't I eventually build an immunity?

My friend has about 7-8 cats but I am never bothered by it. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with allergies...

(I exercise at least 3 times a week usually, whether lifting weights or running, playing soccer, but I really do like a stogie every now and then)
