I had unprotected sexual contact with a guy in late jan. A painful bump appeared in my vagina a few days later but when i went to the gynocologist she said i just had a yeast infection. Today my vagina felt a little sore and when i checked i noticed another sore which feels tender and another one on the other side. Im trying to get an appointment for 2moro...in the meantime,this is herpes probably? The last time the sore didnt crust or anything,it dissapeared after a week.

I have a mild case of Eczema just below my shoulder ever since I have gotten bitten by a mosquito two years ago. It seemed to go away after I treated it Hydracortizone.

But this summer it has come back and the itching its so bothersome that I lose some sleep at night. I have started treating myself with the cortizone again but I was wondering if anyone knows of any type of relief that I can use without seeing a doctor (no insurance).

It isn't severe, just to the point of bothersome and tired of itching and rubbing swollen skin Thanks!!

I want to stop smoking. I hate smoking. Why do something you hate? What can I do? This is a powerful drug that i never thought I would get addicted to when I first started 5 yrs ago.

My live in is in the hospital with 5 badly broken ribs and a bruised Lung. They had him on oxygen at a level 6. Late last night his oxygen level fell to 50%. and they had trouble trying to keep him awake. His heartbeat was soaring also. They took him to UIC.
I can't seem to get a straight answer from the nurses as to "why" he dropped as he did.
What is the danger he faced at only breahing at 50%? Although they have now got his oxygen level back, is there any long term effect? He was acting a tad strange today, and I'm not sure if it was my imagination. Sorry spellcheck isn't working, and I'm to tired to think!!

I know that kids can get it from wet diapers, but is it from moisture or is it something in urine and stuff that irritates skin. I don't have kids so, I'm a bit clueless.

I have a boil that keeps returning on my inner thigh. It does not look like it needs medical care but I am troubled that it has returned for the third time. It has drained each time and just keeps on coming back. I don't have Diabetes or High Blood Pressure so I don't know why it just won't heal. I am not on any kind of meds.Should I worry about staph infections. I have a cousin that just died from staph infection and I am getting a little worried.

The cysts I have are only around my pubic region and on my inner theighs. The ones on my inner theighs are very painful. I have tried something called clindamycin phosphate which is a skin antibiotic that I just rub on. It doesnt work. I havent really tried any other remedies. I walk to and from work, and am on my feet the whole time at work. It seems to be irritating it more. I don't have medical insurance, so I can't visit the doctor. I am willing to pay any money for anything that will work. Can anyone help me???

What is wrong with my Dad? Last night he was vommiting flem and had all the symtons of a heart attack so my Mom called 911 even thought my Dad didnt want her too. When the ambulance got here they took alot of test and everything turned out good but they asked him if he wanted to go with them to the hospital. My dad was having a panic attack and said no. My Dad also was very dizzy after the abulance left. Now today he was eating and after one bite he was coughing alot and his face turned bright red and his chest locked up again. Is this hte begining stages of a heart attack or is it sometihng with digestion? Hesa about to go to the docter but im just worried.

I am taking care of this little old 89 yr old man who has burns to his face from radiation treatments. His face is peeling off, red and bleeding and looks terrible. They stopped the treatments for a week and plan to resume. I thought about washing his face with wound cleanser. I am a cancer RN, but since I have never experienced this myself, I am not sure what helps the most.
Any ideas?

I always wake up in the middle of the night with a VERY itchy throat, nose, and ears. I also notice that during these attacks my soft palate becomes bumpy and I can run my tongue over it and it feels like sand paper. It drives me absolutely insane... It is the bane of my existence. I take Claratin and spray cloroseptic which calms it down only slightly but still drives me nuts. What can I do to stop this?
