Ive only recently suffered it for the last few years. Im 34

is this unusual? Do you normally have it all of your life since a young age?

why should it have suddenly appeared in me?

I used to love heights and climbing trees etc as a child.
Its weird and im at a loss to understand it

I work with someone who has said he got Herpes from his partner,we also work in a food department of our store,most of the food he handles does have to be cooked,however some of the things do not and he hardly ever uses gloves,The department mananger knows he has it however noone has said anything,Is there any reason for us to worry about this person contaminating anything?I am hoping he uses proper hand washing after using the restroom,but not positive,only positive about myself.Anyone knowledgeable on this subject

You can get rid of the virus so the virus not in your body anymore and you are considered cure from the disease and will not pass it to your couple (offcourse if you dont have any new infection) or if you got the virus so the virus will remain in your body for the rest of your life even there isn't any recurrence of the wart anymore?? i have checked many site about hpv and get mixed result about hpv, i just confused where is the true statement

I just got back from a dermatologist who removed a growth I had on my nose. While we are waiting for the results of the biopsy, he felt almost certain that it was basal cell carcinoma. While this in and of itself isn't all that scary, the fact that I'm only 27 years old concerns me, and the doctor did mention that that is pretty unusual. If in fact it is BCC, does this mean anything serious for me, or will it just be a matter of bathing in sunscreen every morning and getting regular checkups?

Also, I should mention that I am pretty fair-skinned, and while I have never intentionally tried to tan or anything, I have had some pretty nasty sunburns in my life, especially on my nose, but it wasn't any more frequent than once every year or two.

My glass window has a screen door on the right side. When I look on the side of the window with the screen door, the lines of the fence looks wavy and the wired fence looks wavy/crooked. But when I look at the left side of my window without the screen door, everything looks straight and normal. I read that if you see things wavy/crooked, that is a sign of macular degeneration (a condition where your eye deteriorates). But I took the Asler grid test and I see the graph fine with no wavy lines. However when I looked at my window with the screen door, things looks wavy and not straight. Should I go to the doctor?

I have discovered a small bump under my skin on my forearm. Its not visible to the naked eye, I only knew it was there because I felt it. It also happens to be under an unraised freckle. I also have a family history of cancer. My father had Melanoma twice. Should I just go directly to a Dermatologist or have a General Practitioner refer me if they feel a need too. I am very scared this could be cancer...

I was brushing his teeth, while i brush his teeth he tends to bite on the toothbrush. he bit my finger accidentaly as it was side by side with the tooth brush, so the result is my index finger got cut, aroung 3-4mm. it ws deep enough that it bled.

the punctured are is the area where you get your finger print.

it looks like a razor blade cut.

i washed it right away with soap and water.. let it on running water for about 3 minutes. then after 20 minutes, i went to drugstore to buy alcohol and betadine to cleanse the wound.

veterinary records are:

feb. 5 2007............. Biocan rabies vaccine 1st
March 18, 2007 ........ Biocan rabies vaccine 2nd

Due shot is next year march 18 2008 for booster.


question is, should i worry and get vaccinated IG + TT?
the pup was exposed to adult dogs.. who was a month late for their rabies vaccine 3 days ago..


vets and pros, your answers would be greatly appreciated. i dont have peace of mind as of the moment..

thanks.

How i stop this *episode* is i sit very still, and put my fingers down my throat until i gag, then i hold my breath. this manages to slow my heart down back to its normal pace. I know this sounds bizarre and when i told my doctor about it, he give me an ekg. Since i wasnt having the episode at the time of the ekg, nothing showed up and i felt stupid because the doctor said he couldnt find anything. I am 46 now, and although the episodes have diminished, i still get them. I have never gotten one at work, but if i did, i would have to stop what im doing, before i fainted. What is wrong with me?

I have a have severe body rash due to the clindamycin given after dental surgery under general athensthetic .Dr gave me presnisolone and told me to take telfast but I am scared to take it in case I have an allergic reaction to that as well.
I am also allergic to the antibiotic Keflex but can take some other antibiotics. I am just wondering if it could be I am allergic to an ingedient in these medicines like magnesium sulfate , which is in the telfast also and why I am scared to take it in case of anaphalytic shock or something.

I had the facial yesterday at noon, and starting around 8 or 9 last night my face started itching. This morning my eyes are almost swollen shut. It doesn't add up (since it's 8 hrs later after my facial that I start seeing a reaction), I've had facials before, just not an organic one. Anyone have this happen to them?
