My boyfriend's hands are always cold. Sometimes when he does things, such as a push-up or something, his hands go purple. Not just pinkish, but a dark dark purple. It worries me. Are these signs of bad blood circulation?

My dad has recently suffered a heart attack, and when he was in the hospital he was diagnosed with high cholesterol, as diabetic and with gall stones. He has been told to avoid sugar, salt, high fat and greasy foods. I can't seem to find anything except salads and vegetables that find into all three categories!! Anyone out there with some advice, and maybe even recipes or sites to visit would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter is 21 months old. She has rashes on the back of her hands and on the back of her legs where her knee is. I have no clue what it is and it looks like its spreading. She is always itching it so I know it must be uncomfortable. I bathe her daily and have started putting hydrocortisone on the area. Shes had them for about 5 months, Any suggestions to what I should put on it or what it is would be great.

I have had heart palpitations for years and they never bothered me. Within the last year or so they seem to have got worse. I feel slightly grogy and dizzy after them. I also can get slight chest pain. I also get slight chain pain and grogyness if a do a lot of exercise.
I have seen a heart consutant who has carried out no less than 6 tests so far: ECG, blood test, chest X ray, heart echo, treadmill test and 24 hour heart monitor. He can find nothing wrong with any of the tests.
I do suffer from a little anxiety so I'm wondering if these feelings are just put down to anxiety.
I've recently lost a stone in weight so I feel I lot better in myself but still get these palpitations and problems.
Would anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
Andy

I recently had a skin tag removed from above my eyebrow. Surgeon excised the legion and used very fine stitches to close the wound. Its been six months and the wound has not fully healed. The edges of the wound have not quite come together completely but has improved slightly over the months. Is this normall? will the wound eventually end up looking like a fine white line which i was told it would. How long will that take?

Hi, My feet are OK, just my skin I have never attended to , I'm sort of a female farmer. My skin was always white when it was popular to be tan so I never took care of it because who wanted pretty white skin in the 60's? But alas, after using my feet for so long, they are dry, cracked, and kind of burn. I know I just need to lotion them up with something that is very good and perhaps soak them every night and baby them, but what might be some good ideas. Should I wear a certain kind of sock like for a diabetic or such to baby them ? I almost always have socks on because the carpet sucks the oil out of my feet. No smart aleck answers, altho a joke now and then never hurts :)

I'm not sure what it is... It's like several small lumps, smaller than acne spots, and it's flesh-coloured with no pus. They're all over my friend's forehead... Been there as an every-day thing.

I recommended clearasil, it's all I could think of, but that didn't do anything. Maybe some oxytetracycline pills or something...

Does anyone know what it is? How can it be treated?

I'm at a loss on what my husbands allergic to. At first I was thinking it was wheat, or yeast or gluten but now i'm lost again. He can eat tortilla shells and grapenut cereal, but can't eat 100% whole wheat bread. He seemed fine with white bread last time he ate it, but yet he's allergic to baked ritz crackers.
I'm so confused and I've looked many things up and checked labels trying to find the one ingredient that he's allergic to just to find it on the list of ingredients in something he can eat which brings me back to square one....again.

We have gone to an allergist but he was of no help with my husbands food allergies. He refused to do a food allergy test. And yes we've done the writing down what he eats for a week and checking ingredients. I'm lost, i'm frustrated and I'm rather angry because i'm not getting anwhere on figuring any of this out. I've checked out many web sites but still haven't been able to find much. Please help. Serious answers only. Thank you.
