Ok, here's the deal. I'm 28 and have never really had any acne. All of a sudden I noticed what looked like a huge holE in my face (by my nose). Well, what it was, was a huge blackhead. Sooo being the GENIUS that I am I was at work and stuck a stick pin in it. Yup, it was a hole, left by a blackhead. After I removed the pin it started bleeding. A week or so later it crusted over to what looked like just a regular 3D zit. But then when that layer shed off I was left with a hole in my face where the pore won't close! Does anyone know how to close this hole, or get rid of this? Any answers are appreciated. Even if it includes surgery, I will do/pay anything! I can not live with it like this!!!!!!

I just read one of the answers to that 'rash under my breasts' question and one person suggested that it was a sweat allergy. That rash thing happened to me once when I started playing volleyball - I put powder under there and it eventually went away. Also, occasionally when I start to sweat, under my arms start to itch me. I mean once I had my arms up fixing my hair (so there was nothing rubbing against it to cause it to itch). My underarms are shaved by the way. Is there anything I can do about the underarm itching thing?

I know excessive urination is a sign of diabetes, but what does "excessive" mean, exactly?

Does it mean every 15 minutes?
Or does it mean every 4 hours?

It seems as though no one, not even any diabetics on this site can explain that to me.

Being the biggest hypochondriac in the world, I find myself having the urge to pee every 2-3 hours... yet, when I do not think about peeing, I go about every 4-6 hours.

Do I have a problem? Can someone please give me a little information about this issue? This is the only diabetes symptoms that I have, and I know what all of them are.

Thanks, guys!

I am going to a camp next week, where sometimes you cannot (well you CAN, but it's inconvienant...) go to the bathroom whenever you want.

I am ALWAYS thinking "Do I pee too much?", and that makes me have to go even more.

If I don't think about peeing all the time, then I can go 5-6 hours without having to go. However, if I think about it, then I have to go pretty much every hour.

I can never help thinking about it, it's not like a button that you can just turn off. I'm always thinking "Oh no, what if I can't go for a while?", and I have to go!

And when I do go, I find out that I really didn't have to go very much in the first place. I guess when you empty your bladder when it is not full, you have to go much more often. There have been days that I have gone 10 times just from worrying!

So, what do I do to convince myself "You probably DON'T have to go!", or that I CAN go if I have to?

It's such a pain... is this normal? I don't have diabetes, I just posted it here!

Or at least... you most likely don't have diabetes?

I was just wondering... thanks, guys!

20 yrs ago he used to drink and do drugs excessively....is any of that related? We've tried vitamin E oil and lotions and creams on the skin, but nothing seems to help soften it for any length of time. Any suggestions??

Myself and a few friends all got tested together last year and everyone was fine, however, yesterday one of them has disclosed that they have since tested positive. This person I'll call "Adam" has been very promiscuious and I now feel bad because I dont feel very compassionate although I should. Nobody deserves such a disease but what do you say when it feels like 'no surprise'?

My boyfriend's co-worker just away in his late twenties.
Both of us are very sad, what should I say to comfort him? My boyfriend almost got the same cancer his co-worker had. (It was a long story, my boyfriend got check-up one month ago, the doc says that he might have it, but they found out it was okay at last)
I know that my boyfriend is scared that he will die young like his co-worker did. Also, is it right to spend money on vacation(I know it will be quite a debt for me after I come back), not knowing will you die tommorrow?
