I just want to know so i can stay away from it and avoid smelling it. I've read that it's dangerous to inhale that stuff, but i've read so much in the news about it, i'm asking so if i know what it is, ai can get far away from it.

So I have been dating this for a year and a half and we have been having sex since this december and he has been my only partner- vis versa.Two days ago i noticed a small pimple like bump on the outside of my vagina and I am concerned. I think it is an ingrown hair because i shave down there sometimes and there is hair growing out of the bump. It is only one and it is reddish--is it an STD?!

If anyone is willing to share their stories I'd love to hear them. Herpes has yet to come into play in my dating life. I feel that I have to get to know a person an access their character before I can tell them something so personal. I would like to know how others have dealt with herpes in their relationships. Do you only date other people with herpes? When did you tell? How did people react when you tell them? I think it would be ideal to meet a mate with herpes as well. I wouldn't want to spread it but I don't do internet dating. So I what I want to know is, how has herpes affected your dating life?

Thanks

Firstly I'd like to say a big thank you to all the people who responded to my last question.Your answers were very helpful.Just to recap I'm a 43 year old Brit living in Japan married to a local lady with three young daughters.Last year I was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve by chance.My mean pressure gradient was 28mm and at another hospital 22mm. My valve area was 2.3cms.This year soon after having a very heavy meal the echo gave a reading of 37mm and 32mm.I'm going to another hospital to have a transoesophageal echo in June.I feel terrified that that my pressure gradient increased so much.The doctor said not to worry as I have no symptoms,stenosis or regurgitation but I'm afraid to say I still have sleepless nights.Last year the doctor said weight training,yoga and running was ok but now nothing is allowed.Would having an echo directly after eating a heavy meal cause this increase or is it due to my exercises.The doctor said Japan is quite medically advanced but I'm very down.

My doctor suggested its just back pain and it will go away. he didnt give me anything. what can this be, a friend of mine had severe lower back pain for like a year without getting it looked at and then it wound up being tumors all over his kidneys and liver and it was non hodgkins disease. im not saying i have what he had bc at the end he had bowel and urine blackness. i have nothing wrong with my bowel or urine. no discolor. but im just nervous bc i havent been back to a doctor about this since november. but do u think its something serious, bc if its just back pain i can deal with it but if its something else i dont know what to do..please help me

My friend recommended baby oil instead of sunblock in order to accomplish our mission of getting a great summer tan. I know I am a total idiot for listening to her, but now I am covered head to toe with excruciating 2nd degree sunburn over my entire body, save for the small areas where my teeny tiny two piece bathing suite covered. Any suggestions BESIDE Aloe vera or bactine?

I have a persistent bacterial infection that will not go away. I am hygienic, I know about wearing clothes that allow my vagina to breath (no spandex!!) wiping habits and what not, but it will NOT go away for anything. Is it possible I am getting it right back from my man?? My Dr says NO, yet his old Dr said it CAN pass that way. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!!

We were learning about mutations in Biology class, and Marfan Syndrome really sounded a lot like me. Here are some things that may be considered symptoms?

-My shoulders are EXTREMELY flexible. I can do really, really weird stuff. (example: touch my elbows together behind my back.)

-I have a very large frame. I'm 5'9, 14 years old, and I have long arms and fingers.

-I get weird blackouts in my eyes a lot. Whenever I stand up from sitting for a long period of time, I completely black out for a few seconds and can't see anything. [I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but I remember it had something to do with the eyes.]

Do I perhaps have a mild case?
