im scheduled to have 2 moles removed from my face tomorrow. The plastic surgeon is cutting them off and stitching them. Im very afraid of scars. Can anyone tell me if they had this done and if they were happy with the results, and if the scar was bad???

she is taking medicines.. 25mg.........today she checked after 1 month...her bp at 5.pm..........it is 150/90..dr told to increase the medicines by 75 mg....
she did really some extra heavy work...she s over weight...n she cycled 5 km... and did many works continuously comparing other days.... then only she went to dr ..

dr told to increase the medicine ... my mom asked her "shold take these extra medicine for life time"..she said "no..u take now ..l ii tell u later""
what s point is..she should check the bp for 3 days continuosly..then she should tell to increase the medicine...without she s saying like this...
another thing is she had to wait for 1 hour to meet dr..and today she had her periods...
i)do you thing this may increased her bp??

ii) dr simply told to increase the dosage...should mymom take it ???? or consult others..

(note: some months ago other told my mom not to woory continue with the current dosage... ur not bad... but this is saying like this)

My mom has food allergies and she is supersticious that I have them too. The allergy is shellfish and she formed it later in her life---around 39 i think? She won't let me have any, but i really don't think i'm allergic to shellfish because i went to this place where they cook right in front of you, and the were making shrimp and steak and chicken on the same grill stove thing. And shrimp "juice" is bound to have touched the steak (which i had) so i really don't think i'm allergic. So my question is: Can my mom's allergies be given to me even though she formed the allergy around 1 or 2 years AFTER i was born? please no guesses, i want you to for sure know. thank you

My boyfriend and I moved into a condo in February. The day we moved in, I started feeling sick. By the end of the first week, I was extremely fatigued and having spells where it felt like my throat was closing up. I went to several doctors who diagnosed me with various bizarre things before deciding I had allergies. They gave me an allergy med and told me a bunch of foods that I should cut out of my diet because I tested as slightly allergic to them. So, now, I feel mostly okay, but I'm not allowed to eat soy, wheat, milk, peanuts, or corn. Because I can't eat anything, I'm reaching an ungodly level of thinness and I keep getting hemorrhoids. Our condo is really nice, but I really think I was happier when we lived in a shithole. Has anyone ever had a problem like this from moving into a new place? Did it go away in time? Should we move?

I have noticed that even foot scrubs and similar products are labeled safe or not safe for diabetics to use. I'm borderline diabetic and I have dry cracked heel. Should I be concerned?

Hey everyone. I am a 17 year old guy in college. I have been having pains in my chest recently. About 1 month + ago till now. It was a few days apart in the past but its built up till its almost everyday now. Its on the left side of my chest and whenever i feel pain i put my hand to my heart and i can feel it beating stronger and faster most of the time.

The pain is squeezing, and sometimes sharper. Sometimes it comes on and off but for awhile only. Sometimes it drags for hours. I have been keeping to my normal diet and everything hasn't changed much

I dont really want to see a doctor yet cause its troublesome and everything..

Please help! Thanks!!

yesterday afternoon, as i was buying lunch, i noticed a small, painfull (2 on a scale of 1-10) beginings of a bump.... felt more like a misquito or spider bite, but i don´t recall getting bit, and hours before there was nothing.... just like all of a sudden ouch, what´s this thing....

this morning its looking like a small blister (very similar to a cigarette burn) still hurts a little bit, i don´t feel sick, have no problem eating or drinking, and have never had anything like this before.....

i´ve been in the sun a lot in the last few days, can you feel the exact moment when a herpe will start? do i have oral herpes? i´m hoping its just some bee or spider bite.... as of now its been less than 24 hours, the blister is about the diamater of a cigarette.....
