I have never tested positive for a TB test. I had one done a month ago, and I noticed a little bump in the area where I had the test done, but this just showed up now. I am not sure if this is the exact spot where I had the test done, and when I first got it done and read, the test was negative. I just had some redness in the area, but that is not a sign for being positive. I plan on going to the MD tomorrow, but is this common?

last nite..before i went to bed..i felt a small bump on the middle of my arm-pit..i don't know what it is...i never had anything like this before...its still there as of today..its a small round bump..it doesn't hurt..in fact, I don't even realize that it's there. Only when I apply pressure does it hurt, but not that much either. I'm just freaking out a little bit. Somebody told me at work that is could be swollen glands in my arms, because she used to get those when she was my age. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate it. Thank-you!

What was it like? What did it look like?

My seven year old son broke out with what we thought was the chicken pox on the 18th of September.

Long story short, they kept telling us that is was the chicken pox, don't bring him in he's because he would be contagious yet they never went away. So today I finally took him in and they mentioned scabies, yet in the end they don't know what it is. We are seeing specialist tomorrow.

Anyone with a history or a story to tell about scabies?

Any help would be great! THANKS!

Hi guys. I am 16-year-old guy. I am starting to see pimples/acne on my face nowadays, and that really annoys me, seriously. Sometimes, I don't see a pimple on my face for a day or two, but then the big red area on my skin starts to appear, and in one day, it becomes a big pimple... that hurts and doesn't look good...Err.

I've searched on google for useful tips, and I realized that gently washing your face twice a day and drinking a lot of water can really help...

Is this true?

And I would appreciate if you can share any information you have regarding this topic.

Thanks for your input.

Do you agree with all the things he says in his book, about any kind of
prescription or non prescription drug being bad for you, and that tap water causes scaring of the
arteries. And that natural cures are being hidden from us by the
fda. And that the FDA is nothing more than a money hungry monster
that wants you to take some kind of drug, and eat their approved trash food, so you get sick and take their drugs. His website is
www.naturalcures.com

I have just read that smoking pot on a regular basis stops the onset of Altziemers disease and retards the effects after the disease has manifested itself. This seems to be a good reason to prescribe it to all in danger of this horrible disease. Any comments, ideas from all you good people uot there in Yahoo! land?
