Apologies if i spelt it wrong, but i have extremely large ... and i mean huge lumps appearing all over my head ... my Doctor told me they were sebacious cysts. Their are about four in my ear lobe, currently small but seem to grow randomly, there are, from what i can feel, fou "dormant" on my foorehead and one huge one and there is one "dormant" on my chin and on huge one. They only occur in the facial area and are very VERY unsightly.

Can anyone tell me what is going on, i know is something to do with hair follicles (see wikipedia - they also have images of the things i have....) but i cant find an explanation as to what to do in simple terms.

If anyone could translate how to resolve them simply or tel me simply what to do, it would be much appreciated.

I have allergies really bad but they are accompanied with a slight fever, not going past 100.5 degrees. Is this normal for allergies? or could it be something else?

I was reading somewhere on the internet that zits that never go away could be some type of staff infection and left untreated it can go into the blood stream. The doctor said that my boil is probably a bacterial infection caused by a small cut. He said he didn't see a cut but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. Do you think that my viral zit went into my blood stream and is spreading?

I went to the doctor about 5 years ago and see noticed this bump on my arm and asked me what it was. I told her it was actually one of the things I wanted to ask her. Then she told me it was a viral zit and she popped it for me. The pus came out off grainy. Well anyways for the last 5 years I have been popping this zit and it keeps coming back. It is to the point now that I can't get all the pus out. Does anyone know what this might be? I'm eventually going to make it to a doctor but just want to know sooner.

Can anyone recommend homeopathic or natural home remedy for problem sinus? My right upper sinus above my molars sometimes get infected and press on the nerves of my teeth in that area. It knocks me down for about a week. This last time, I got a low grade fever, uncontrollable shakes with the slightest breeze, and it felt like the side of my face was going to explode. It affected the hearing in my right ear and had me seeing stars in my right eye (which is already sight diminished due to acute optic neuritis). Any help would be appreciated, and I have no known allergies. Thanks!

BTW, my fever broke on the sixth night, and I'm back to normal after three days, tooth is fine, sinus is open again and air is flowing unrestricted. Looking for a maintenance type program, OR an event oriented cure.

Hi,
my dad has cancer. Recently, he had a surgery and a part of his colon was removed due to a little tumor. The main problem was he had an overdose of Imodium, so his peristaltic movement had stopped, and that's why he actually had to have a surgery. That was 2 weeks ago.
Last week, he's discharged from the hospital. Until this moment, he's not able to eat, only a spoonful or two everytime. And he won't eat rice, moreover meat or chicken. The doctor told him to eat at least 100 grams of meat/meal, so that means 300 grams/day. In fact, he hasn't eaten more than 100 grams of meat in this week. His main staple now is Proten, a soy milk with high protein and vitamins because he has a low albumin level.

He's only allowed porridge, oatmeal, or steamed rice. And meats and chicken. Also carrots, spinach, and pumpkins. For fruit, only apple.

He feels sick all the time, and barely has the energy to walk.

I feel so helpless. Please help, guys...
Thanks...

I am looking for some literature that recommends or shows that central venous catheters should have bungs attached to ports. i.e , open ports are a source of infection.

I have had them for a while now. They sometimes itch and get irritated. I've noticed that the spots get more noticable and irritated in hot weather especially. They are ONLY on the back of my neck.
Thank you for any advice given

ok, so my doctor says a cat scan showed that I have fluid in my abdomen likely of a gyno. nature... but then I haven't had my period for a year and a half... I don't think I have cysts, so what is this fluid? and can I get rid of it? or should I? Is that why I maybe look bloated sometimes? I don't get it... I had an appendectomy in Europe, but I'm fine, that was like two years ago. I'm a vegetarian. I'm really pretty healthy... and don't worry, I won't be taking any answers and then holding people responsible for misinformation or whatever...I admire people with the courage to answer medical q's...yikes!
