Is there any reason to worry about very mild skin rash (hives) and very mild muscle aches?
Could it be a serious infection or I am just obsessed?

I have a friend that has been diagnosed with this disease and I'm doing some research for her. I've found many things on the internet, but will they really make a difference? This girl (38) has been health conscious(she is thin and keeps very active) all her life and she is having a difficult time now trying to keep up with 4 children and dealing with this disease at the same time.

After getting a sunburn or tan, could you do something to your skin to prevent future cancers or damage? Does cold water help? Lotions etc.?

I was tanning outside today and sat out too long and gotta a pretty bad sunburn on my legs. Does this mean in the future i am going to get skin cancer for sure? Does every sun burn cause skin cancer ? And does tanning without burning cause skin cancer too ?

I get hives, itchy skin and my skin turns beat red all over and I bloat. It has happened 3 times just recently within the past 4 months from something I ate. Last time it happened I had a banana nut wheat Odwalla bar and got a reaction. The time before that, I ate some sort of an appetizer that comes frozen with imitation crab in it and got a reaction. Does anyone know what my allergy could be to? Maybe someone with medical experience?

Okay so I found out on Tuesday that I have mono. I started feeling the symptoms about 10 days ago, and now I'm out of the "sick" part, like my throat doesn't hurt anymore or anything. But obviously I'm still really tired and weak and everything. Well, I'm going to have to have surgery soon on my gallbladder. But since I have mono, does that mean I'm going to have to wait until I'm completely over it to have the surgery? And if so, how long would that be?

I got hyperpigmentation suddenly when I was doing my 10th standard and I still don't know as to what kind of hyperpigmentation it is. I also don't know the reason for my cause of hyperpigmentation. It is really a concern when anything bad appears on the face and I'm also not an exception to it. I'm also losing my confidence bcoz of this. I've got it around my mouth (like dark circles that surrounds my mouth), neck then under my nose, armpits and between my thighs. I don't want to go to beauty parlours or doctors bcoz I'm afraid that if they could still worsen my face. Currently, I'm taking home treatment like mixing lime juice with honey & as scruber I use the paste of rice powder and curd, I got these tips from the Internet only. I've started all these only 2 weeks ago and I find some improvement. Can I continue with these or swtich over to some other? It would be nice if you could tell me some other herbal home treatment that will be very effective. Is sunscreen lotion required?

Someone asked me what causes PID. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, but that's not what caused it for her. Sources also say that an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina causes it. What does that mean exactly? Is it possible that bacteria could have caused it? Or another way? She's freakin' out about it. Please if ya have any info. Thanx!

I've been having some allergic reactions lately (my allergist hasn't been able to identify the cause). Currently, my lips and eyelids are swollen. It feels like my throat is swelling, or very very sore, but I can still breathe. It feels like there is a slight pressure in my chest, but again, nothing severe. I took 50 mg of Zyrtec a few hours ago, to little effect. It's been like this for at least two hours.

Is this an anaphylactic reaction? Is the throat swelling likely to get worse, or after two hours am I pretty much safe from having my throat close up?

Basically, if nothing extremely severe has happened within an hour or so, can it be ruled out as an anaphylactic reaction or should I still go to a hospital or something?

I was just diagnosed with food allergies to dairy, soy, and tree nuts. As of right now if I eat them I get extremely sick (vomiting, bathroom trips, not pretty). Is it possible if I keep eating these foods that it will grow into the typical rash-hives-itchy allergies?

I am a 16 year old female who is 5'5 and weights 128 lb. Just recently I've been experiencing chest pain right above my rib cage and on my sternum. It's more of an aching pain and it's kind of sharp. I have a history of mitral valve prolapse, heart murmur, and hypertension. I am intending on seeing my doctor (no, I'm not going to be stupid and leave something that could be serious up to Yahoo! Answers) but I'm just looking for a quick answer as to what it may be.

Thanks.
:)

I'm taking Pravachol. I took it a long time ago and had a lot of muscle pains. I couldn't get my cholesterol down low enough with only niacin & diet so my Drs but me back on it. They also gave me CoQ10 to take to keep the muscle pain down. I was OK for a while, but now the pain is back even with a higher dose of CoQ10. I'm also having trouble walking. I used to be able to walk over 3 miles per day without much trouble, but now I hit the wall before I finish a mile. My legs feel like lead and I'm in a lot of pain. So I'm not exercising like I used to. Is this muscle weakness serious? Is there anything else I can do? (Lipitor is worse for me!)
