For the past 2 weeks I am having an itchy feeling in the area where my inner thighs meet the groin (on both the thighs).Sometimes I also get a burning sensation but itching is dominant. For the first few days the area was light reddish (almost pinkish red) with a dry scaly rash.I was adviced tetracycline.Then the rash gradually became less but the itching was there.Sometimes it was even itching on the back side where the hamstring meets the thigh.For the past 2 days I notice that those 2 areas have become swollen.The itching is still there though less as compared to the first few days.The colour of the infected area has also changed to darkish pink.I have not scratched the area even once as scratching may aggravate the problem.I also wear loose clothing round that area and I am sure its not due to any STD.I am also not obese.Can anyone help me regarding the problem?

I've in born myopic eyes.I was detected with retinal hole in left eye, a few weeks back 'n my doc advised to seal it by a minor laser-surgery(diode laser). Yesterday, sealing has been done 'n everything has gone well. Plz lemme know if I've any further risk or not. Can it coz retinal detachment or it does prevent it?

Of late, I'm seeing a dot-like spot(left eye) ... now after sealing (bandage has been removed) I've expected that I won't see that dot anymore, but surprisingly I'm seeing it still.

Eye-specialists or patients with similar problems plz share ur views & experiences. Any kind of help is appreciated.

i'm bulimic. four years now. I sit, hidden in my room, secretly eating piles of food. i know about the complications, and the outcomes, yet, they mean nothing to me. knowing all this allows me to pretend that I can control the disease, when really, it's the other way round. I feel a sense of revulsion about my body and myself. after bingeing, I see myself for the disgusting creature that I am. I know I should get some sort of help, but I'm not going to my general practitioner about it. I don't want to be labelled as having a mental illness or psychiatric disorder. I think that would make it real, something that's actually a part of my life, rather than just something I'm writing about. I'm not really sure why I am bulimic, im not 'fat', i feel i have a nice body. i work out every day. i eat, and for a few minutes I feel fine, then, comes the horrible realization of what I've just done. i'm a prisoner of my own self image. i'm a male, i'm bulimic. i don't want to live like this anymore.

Its been getting worse and worse by the day. Alot of people will say go to the doctor, but i dont have medical insurance right now. I've been to the emergency room twice and they cant find anything wrong. I have very irregular heartbeats, sometimes painful. My head feels like somebody keeps hitting me with a blunt object, and I get lightheaded and feel like Im about to pass out. I have steady pain between my right shoulder and breastplate. almost feels like
it could be in my lung. Lately the veins in the area between my breasts and shoulders have been visible. Every noise makes me feel like Ive been hit in the head. Emergency room did ekg, and chest x rays..nothing ( so they said)......anyone have similar symptoms or any docs out there who might have some suggestions. Its really bad.

I have been shaving my head for two months now and have had this problem ever since I started. Right in that area on the back where my head meets my neck, I get these horrible looking red bumps, most noticeable right after I give my head a shave. They seem to fade away as the days pass, but when I shave my head again, they come right back looking fresh. I have tried a lot of stuff. I was using this stuff called Bump Stopper 2 from Wal-Mart, but that did a lot of nothing. I wash the area everyday with both soap and facial cleanser. I even put skin soothing lotion on it. Nothing is working or even making a slight difference. Somebody out there must be familiar with this type of problem. Does anyone have a remedy to fix this situation? I take every precaution when shaving. I use a fresh razor, steaming warm water, and Edge shaving gel. I only use aftershave on the bumpy area. I think the alcohol helps for some reason. On the rest of my head I use skin lotion. Any help is appreciated.

Is there some kind of OTC meds. or some kind of home remedy or natural healing techniques that a woman can use to help her to breathe easier? She has COPD, and she takes 4 breathing treatments a day, and she sleeps with Oxygen at night. The breathing treatments make her really weak. Isn't there something that can help her to breathe a little easier? If you have any suggestions, pls let me know. Even the doctor says that he's heard of something, but even he can't remember it! Thanks!
