My regular blood pressure readings are around 110/90. That means a pulse pressure of 20. I am 33 years old male. Is it an indication of any heart diseases?

My 11 year old son has coldsores every few weeks and they are huge and his lips swell up...real nasty. I have heard that a small-pox injection can help. Any ideas would be gratefully received. We apply Zovirax hourly on the first day and it seems to make no difference. We even put it on as soon as the tingling is felt.

Hello,
I'm a 29yo Male. I have no health insurance, so I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me that might help me diagnose whether I have HPV or just normal skin tags.

All told, I have about 6-8 spots I'm concerned about. They are located on the shaft of my penis, th scrotum, and near the thigh. Several sources have indicated HPV will ALWAYS include warts on the TIP of the penis--since I have nothing near the tip, am I OK?

Next, my lesions (?) have been the same for a few years--no growth, nothing new, nothing disappeared. Is that typical of HPV?

Finally, I've read that VINEGAR will turn HPV warts white. I've tried applying common vinegar to myself, and seen no color change. Will HPV warts always react this way?

Thanks. Hope this helps some others, too.

I was 6 weeks post-partum when I found out after having a stroke that I have a blood disorder in which the antibodies in the blood tend to clot my blood (Lupus-anticoagulant). I have been on Coumadin/Lovenox therapy for 1 1/2 months now and cannot reach a recommended PT/INR level between 2 and 3. Until my weekly pricks to check these levels is at this number, I must continue the Lovenox injections as a safety precaution because the Coumadin is not working well. I am now taking 12.5 mg ( I was on 10mg) a day. I guess you can say I'm frustrated because when I initially started this therapy I was told that I should be at the recommended level in about a week . Now at 1 1/2 months later I feel like a guinea pig trying a high dose(not helping) so now a higher dose (let's see how your body accepts it at this dose). I've kept up with the diet guidelines and really feel this is not the problem.

If anyone knows about what I'm talking about please respond.

I'm 16 years old and am in desperate need for advice. I've been with my bf for a year and a half. We have done oral (w/o a condom)but not intercourse.
Well, a while ago I got this rash on my shoulders and around my back, and I didn't know what it was. The day I got it I was wearing a wool button up shirt over another shirt, (I'd worn it before) and after I took it off, the rash seemed to slowly disapear. The rash were these red dots and they looked wet like they were blood, but anyways--it went away so I figured that I had an allergic reaction to it.
Then recently, I noticed what appered to be dots "down there." Well I decided not to worry. Then later, I got a chancer sore on the inside of my mouth. no big deal I thought....and today, I started feeling a sore and stuff and there apears to be little bumps under my tongue and I don't know what it is.
I just wanna know what you think it is.
(this happened over a period of time)

So please help me, and please no rude coments!
