Sorry, I have a thing for trying to figure out why things start when they have to have something else to start them, but they aren't started without that something.

I don't want to sound gross, but for anyone who shaves their "bikini area" .. is it common to get razor burn? I tend to get red bumps and i also bleed. It's very different from shaving my legs. Is this normal? Is there any treatment?

I don't know if it's Proactiv that’s not working or is it that I’m not using it right. For the first month i started using the whole 3 products and this Daily Oil Control and then after 2 months i only used the cleanser and the toner. My skin is really oily, usually in the t-zone area, and when I used the repairing lotion, it made my skin oily again after an hour or so. I used to have a lot of pimples on my forehead and a few zits on my cheeks and chin and when I used Proactiv my forehead got better, but my cheeks got worse. It made my cheeks breakout more and I think it’s the repairing lotion because I am touching my face more when applying the lotion. So what am I doing wrong?

It was a disposable lancet that poped down and still had a top I had to twist off. Can you get HIV from it? There was no blood on it, but I don't know if lancet's have air-tight holes.

So it's true that 2 people with no STDs who only have sex with each other will not get STDs. But if two people without STDs have sex, and then one of them has sex with another person who does not have an STD, will all of them still not get STDs?

Have high blood pressure for about 3 years. Able to control it initially till these 2 years, the pressure seems higher than before and the medicine prescribed seems unable to control the pressure. My GP recommended me to go for a urine test. Test shown high protein found in urine and doctor suspect kidney filter inflammation. Done a biopsy and still waiting for results to see what stage is the inflammation. Would like to get a second opinion from those who have encounters or doctors experience. My doctor who had done the biopsy though has not given me any report/medication, he has given me a 'no hope' implication. Feeling very miserable. Any medication?
