I had Poison Oak/Ivy on my arms and legs then it spread to just above my genitals in my pubic hair a week later. It looked exactly like what was on my arms and thought nothing of it. The poison on my arms and legs has gone away but the bit down town is still there and now has become a few sores filled with greenish-yellow pus. It's kinda freaking me out now. I haven't sexual contact with anyone in over 8 months (yeah I know). Does this sound like herpes?

It started with two warts on two of my fingers. I had the doc torch them with liquid nitrogen twice, and they went away. Now, I've got two sizeable warts on my thumb and middle finger, as well as six or eight other smaller warts on my hands that are just starting out. Some of them are hardly visible, but I know that they're on there way. It seems like everytime I look at my hands, I find another bud. How do I (1) stop them from spreading! and (2) get the damn things off my hands?

My face is incredibly greasy these summer days. Not just when I'm hot, but anytime my hair is down, anytime my hair is up, anytime I'm working, anytime I'm sitting down reading...and that's causing bad face acne! I'm going to town with some friends tomorrow and wanted to know which product you think I should buy.

Thanks!

PS Oh, and I've tried Clearsil face wash, Oil of Olay face wash, alcohol for face, hydrogen peroxide, astrigent, Cedaphil soap, and right now I'm using apple cider vinegar.

I've been taking wellbutrin for a long time and recently switched to bupropion because it was cheaper and was supposed to be the same thing...I'm definitely feeling different and want to know if anyone else feels like this isn't the same medicine. Thanks!

I asked a question in the immigration section of answers on whether anyone thought that the influx of illegals could be a factor of all these diseases such as mumps, measles, flu etc, reoccuring in the U.S. You know in a lot of 3rd world countries, they don't have an immuniztion schedules set up like in the U.S and I wondered if some of these folks, when they come over, are bringing it back with them?

My mom is suffering really bad from gallbladder attacks. She was due to have surgery next month. Today, she is so sick and I called the surgeon and told him she was having a major attack. I wanted to see if I could take her to the E.R. and possibly have emergency surgery. She hasn't eaten in days and nothing stays down. I was told there was no such thing as emergency gall bladder surgery and she would have to wait two more weeks for surgery. Isn't this crazy. Dad and I have got to watch her suffer for the next few weeks. She already suffers from fibromyalgia and neuropathy. I don't think she's gonna make it. What in the world should we do?

I have had frequent headaches and migraines over the past few years, varying in severity. I have also had various other symptoms, such as Lightheadedness, Dizziness, Concentration problems, Focusing Problems, Difficulty with my words, such as stumbling and loosing train of thought, and random muscle weakness and twitching(spasming). My mom has been calling me dramatic, but I am not a dramatic person. I am a leader and a XC runner. I've only been having these symptoms over the past 2 years, and I am almost 15 now. We went and talked to my optometrist, and when he looked at my family history(sis & Dad had brain tumors), he told my mom to wait and see if I was still having headaches w/ glasses, and if so, talk to doctor about an MRI. Does it sound as if I may be having a Brain Tumor? I excercise daily, but not strenuously, so I am fit. I drink alot of water, and get on average 8 hours of sleep a night. I used to be good @ math, now I can't focus, and my grades are slipping. Help. Thanx.

Hi there,

In the last week... I have this small cluster of tiny almost blisters formed on my chin and I'm really worried about it. I thought it was a normal spot at first but it's very raised, rough and doesn't feel normal. I have a GP appointment first thing tomorrow but can't sleep due to worrying that it's skin cancer. I was looking online and it is identical to this picture below (NUMBER 20) but the colour is still my normal pinky/peachy tone.

Can any doctors or nurses or anyone help me please?

Thank you xx

My husband started radiotherapy and is on his second week and is now complaining that he is not feeling well since he started and he dreads going to the hospital for it. Is it really that bad? He has to wear a "mask" as the cancer was under his jaw in the submondular gland.I see the dread in his eyes now and he was always a jovial person before having this problem.
