The first time I experienced this rash, it was on my buttocks, & spread to cover an area about 8 inches across. The eruptions since that time can be as small as a single blister, about the size of the ball-point end of a pen, or they can be dozens of blisters. If more than one blister is present, they are clusters, not stripes of blisters (I have experienced poison ivy before also) It usually begins erupting around mid May or early-June, and continues for 5 months. The individual blisters take about 5 weeks to go away, but the area will remain red & flaky for another month or so.
I have tried various topical treatments, including calamine, benedryl lotion, cortisone creams (OTC & prescription strength) and triamcinolone creams. I have also taken a number of oral medications, including benadryl, claratin, cimetidine, atarax and others. Nothing has provided anything more than a minimal reduction in itchiness, nothing seems to speed the healing of the rash.

A friend went to the E.R. w/two hugh abcesses and immediately was admitted and had two surgeries. No one in the medical field could give a clear answer. She was told it had nothing to do w/hygeine (she is very clean). She was also told it was a staph infection. Just no clear answers. She is recovering nicely.

A little over 2 weeks ago I picked out a blackhead. Now the pore, although it's cleared out, is all stretched out so it looks like a flat (not very deep) pock mark. It's not very noticible, but it is to me. Does the pore ever close all the way back up again? And if no, is there anything I can do to make it appear closed, or reduce scarring?

I know it's a disgusting question, and I apologise, but I just went to the toilet and my feces had a lot of blood in it. I checked, and it wasn't my period, so I've ruled that out... It's too early to go to the doctor...

The only other symptom I have is a very sore stomach prior to going to the toilet, which has gone away now.

I don't want to go with the doctors idea of a cure. Chemo and radiation. I have breast cancer. I had it removed but I don't want it to come back. Did anyone have cancer and actually have a cure with a natural method?

Do you think its possible to have symptoms of mild food borne illness 60-90 minutes after eating the suspected food?
I had dinner out last night within 60-90 minutes I was miserable and was up all night. I am pregnant so that just made it worse. Does that sound like it could be the dinner we had out or a coincidence?

for example; someone whom is infected uses a wash cloth or towel to clean or dry the area and forgets to remove it from the tub. The next person showers and mistakes that as their wash cloth or towel.

I have seasonal allergies to tree and grass pollen and ragweed, and they've been really bad this year. I almost always have a sinus headache, and my nose is constantly stuffy and my throat is sometimes sore. I take an over-the-counter medicine, but it doesn't seem to help much. What else can I do?
