I have an ear infection which was diagnosed on Friday. It is the ear canal that is infected. The pain and deafness started on Tuesday. When the Doc looked in my ear she said it was full of pus that is why I am deaf and that it would start to drain out. Well I've not had any drainage yet but the hearing has improved a bit. It feels like it's still in there but feel wet like water trapped. I'm also getting clicking noises. Why isn't it draining?
I really don't think it has drained at night, I have checked the pillow and my ear is completely dry.

Long story short- I've had herpes since 2005. I recently was diagnosed with a disease with a very low survival rate and it compromised my immune system so that I started getting outbreaks again. Never told my boyfriend about my herpes or about my current medical condition because I don't want to worry him. I just always made sure I used meds to prevent passing it on to him, but in my current condition the meds don't work well so I insisted we start using condoms again. Last week we had sex while I had an outbreak. Never did that before because it can push the virus to the cervix & it hurts, but since surviving the next 5 yrs is unlikely, I didn't care what happened to me as long as he was protected. Afterwards I saw that he didn't put the condom on all the way! He likes to believe he's "too big" for condoms & he's not! I've told him to stop that nonsense w/ the condom b4! A few hrs later he has flu symptoms common when contracting herpes. What r the chances that he has it now? :(

Hi all, my cousin has benign at her breast.

Which specialist should she visit?
1) Oncology-Breast and Gynecologic Cancers or
2) Breast-General Surgery

Well, when i try to call to hospital appointment center they try to refer me to Breast-General Surgery 2). Some other friends go to 2) as well.

Logically these surgeon Dr will tend to do surgery? And in my thinking oncology Dr is more expert to know whether it need surgery or not?

I have had mild psoriasis on my hands, elbows and knees for years. Now, for the first time recently, I have it on my face. I use eleuphrat ointment which (I think) is a steroid base on my body. Can I use this on my face too?

The last few nights I've had a tingly pins and needles feeling running across my back. It comes and goes. I googled this and came up with Multiple Sclerosis!? As far as other symptoms associated with MS, I have to pee alot and I'm kinda forgetful. Could it be something else?

Why is cancer becoming so normal for people to get now and so much more aggressive? I'm always hearing about people getting it, know a lot of people who have lost some one to it and over the last 7-8 years or so its flooding my family. Its about the only thing that scares me cause to be honest its not about to slow down anytime soon. Its very sad and frustrating, why is it becoming so overwhelming? Sorry, not tring to be a downer but I just don't understand.

I am now in my 30's and I don't understand why I cannot have clear skin! Since my early teens when I started having 'bad' skin, I've tried so many different cleansing rituals, but none seem to work. I've been on Proactiv, Estee Lauder, Mary Kay, as well as many store brand cleansers. I go through a ritual every morning and evening of washing, toning/astringent, lotion repair. I'll have moments of clear(ish) skin, but it doesn't last long.

What do I need to follow or do in order to keep my skin clear of blemishes that make me look like I'm still in high school?!?

It doesn't sound like an adviseable thing to do, as liver tests are needed to monitor any disturbances?

why is it that people with AIDS are alienated and left out when you must come in special contact with them to recieve the disease? what is the difference from being around someone with mono or an STD for example?

just curious doing a debate speech need opinions.
