I have zits all over my forehead, and on the sides of my face close to my ears, and I have blackheads all over my nose. I also live in a very dry climate. What can I do to stop the acne before I end up like my brother who has severe acne all over his face and back?

There are around 200 individuals in my group spread throughout the US, Canada, Europe, etc. We use to have a parkiejam chat room on yahoo. We used it as a healing, helping retreat for parkie people. Now we can no longer have it. It is not the same as having conference talks thru instant messenger. We need the closeness and feeling of a family of parkie people we had with the private chat room on yahoo. Can someone please help me....we will pay to have a chatroom constructed just as the one we had on yahoo OR even get back the chat section of our old yahoo chat room. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/parkiejam. I know there is software we can purchase to create a private chat room, but none of it is the same as the one we had on yahoo. Please someone take some "pity" for lack of a better word, and restore chat to our old chat room OR tell me how to create one just like.

Over the last three months, my skin has been itching alot, most especially when iam asleep. Sometimes the itching even wakes me up from sleep and when i scratch, the itchy areas swell up like mosquito bites. After a few days, the swellings go down again. I feel perfectly fine except for this itching. Some times are worse than others. I thought i was reacting to something like food or insects or even flowers since it is spring in europe and it is my first time to experince spring in europe. Sometimes the itching almost totally disappears and my skin clears but then it starts itching again. What could it be?

I had a couple of scrapes on my arms and they broke open when I took a bath. Now they are full of pus and red around them. Where does pus come from? How come I got it? And how do I get rid of it other than antibiotics?

When I was 7 months old, I had this defect, so I had it repaired. And now, every year, at least once I have to go back to the hospital for a check up. On June 7th, I went and the doctors said I had a slight murmur, and that it wasn't serious, "nothing serious" he said. No restrictions, said the other doctor. Since they assured me, now I don't really have to worry right?

I have had pain in my left chest between the nipple and sterum, and the same pain in my back just below the shoulder blade (same side). It's very tender, feels like a bruise, with a nagging dry cough (mostly when exhaling hard). I rarely smoke (maybe 2 cigs a month). It feels like there is something in the breast tissue (not through touch, but just through noticing a (heaviness) and uncomfortable feeling there. I have had these symptoms for two weeks. Any ideas? Thanks!

My sister (over 30) was diagnosed with GERD and refuses to take her Prilosec. She has GERD appropriate reactions to peanuts and chocolate but insists that she is allergic and lives in fear or eating or coming in contact with them. She also had an adverse reaction to something and now believes she is allergic to eggs. She has never been diagnosed with these or any food allergies and all her symptoms are consistant with GERD. How do I help her be more logical about this?

The U.N has stated that India now has the most AIDS cases worldwide. How come I have doctors from India coming out the walls everytime I have a small medical problem when India could surely use their help? I feel it is the dollar VS country loyalty and roots.

we don't know who gave it to who. I started having symptoms first and we both had outbreaks at the same time. How can I find out who had it first(me or him) Can we still have sexual intercourse if we are treating ourselves and can we have oral sex with each other?

Since last November I've been experiencing relatively strong fatigue due to sinus problems (enough to keep me away from the gym).

In December I got Prednisone for the first time but that only healed me for like a week.

This year I had two surgeries that totaled around 11 hours on the operating table.

About a week after I finally started to feel normal, but a little knocked out due to the extent of the surgery.
Then BAM I get hit with a sinus infection thats lasted for the past 2 weeks and isn't getting any better. I'm on steroids, antibiotics, and god knows what else.

Does this ever get better or will I be living the rest of my life in a lethargic haze? By the way I'm 22 years old.

I get it from May, and take antihistamines every day. Even so, today it just went wild. My bf had the same thing. Did anyone else get this? Is there a particular sort of pollen about today that has just been released? How come my antihistamines aren't working?

This just suddenly happened. I didn't do anything different then i normally do. But a week ago, i notice that my left side of my chest started to feel this stabbing pain...but it goes away quick..now it's gotten worst! like more constant and the pain shoots around the left side of my body only!! But mainly focus on the left chest around the stomach area. I went to the doc and they didn't know what's going on, and it's really bothering me..I got an x-ray but i have to wait for the result. So far they told me it could be shingle and i had chickenpox before when i was only 4. Im so worry. My lungs and heart are healthy. But when i got my bloodpressure check it was HIGH and it's ALWAY normal or near perfect. i never drink or smoke..im only 22!! Does anyone know what's wrong with me? or have a similar problem.
