It doesn't itch. It spread from my middle finger to the rest of the hand over the course of 12 hours. It has not spread anywhere else. It looks like little blisters. It isn't any particular color. My hand feels tingly.

my dad has been going to radiation treatment about 8 times now. the doctor took a measurement of the tumor after 4 treatments and said that he noticed that it had gotten smaller. and he did some calculations that i guess were pertaining to the volume of the growth. however, we don't notice a difference in size of it and my dad doesn't feel any different. has anyone had this type of experience with treatment? where it actually takes awhile to kick in like that, while the doctor notices a difference?

I shower regularly, but also whenever I have acne on my chest and pop them it smells moldy. I don't eat perfectly healthy, but I don't eat fast food or fried food all that often. I do drink a few times a week, and smoke. And every 4-5 months I get a pea sized(sometimes larger) sebacious cyst on the back of 1 or the other earlobes that I can't drain for a while until it surfaces. About a year ago I started being really conscious of gently washing and thouroughly rinsing behind my ears every time in the shower but it hasn't seemed to change anything. I'm at a loss....

I read with great interest last week's New York Times article reporting that scientists have disovered that AIDS is more prevalent in black people because the hole in the penis of the average black man is larger than the hole in the penis of other races. The AIDS virus is peculiarly large, and fits better through the holes in black penises than others. That is why it is easier for black men to transmit that virus to their partners than it is for other men. To me, this scientific discovery lends credence to the theory (which I had always thought was nutty) that someone intentionally created AIDS to devastate the black community. Why hasn't the rest of the media picked up on this?

I was in the park today throwing a football and it landed in a patch of bushes which i think had poison ivy in them. Now i have red dots starting to show up all over my legs and chest. Last time i got poison ivy i tryed taking baths in baking soda which did not do any thing. After about a week of suffering and not being able to go to school, because i had it All over my body, and i mean ALL OVER!!! I had to get on a prescription which took about 3 to 4 days to take affect.

What is the best and quickest why to get rid of the poison ivy go the hell away!!!!!!

Also is there any why to build up my immunity aginst it.

Thanks

I am 24 and about 3 years ago I had my gallbladder removed. Since then I've either heard about or talked to other people around my age who've had the same surgery done....they've been mostly female. I was just wondering why this seems to be such a common procedure for this age group? Has it always been like that? Is age a factor, or location, or diet? Just curious.

Am asking for my neighbor, who has no access to a computer. He has to go in for an operation for ulcerative colitis, and he asked me to ask you all if there is any new medicine for this condition, as he doesn't want to have the operation. (Which is an extremely radical operation....)

My friends and I have decided to raise money for Breast cancer research. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is in October. We are High School Students and are dedicated to this plan. We have decidedto make ribbons with magnets on the back that all students can stick on the outside of their lockers all throughout the month of october. Also we are thinking of asking our school principal if we could do a "think pink" day where everyone pays 1 dollar to wear any peice of pink clothing. We would like to know if you have any other ideas for us to raise money. However, the objects that we sell must be made by us NOT store bought, please help!
