I was reading that there are doctors who use h202 for many diseases and so forth. I doubt my MD will have or know of h202, but is it standard practice? or are there specialists I need to see?
Thank you

Hi I've been getting these blisters between my legs upper thigh in between theres about 10 to 15 on each leg & they were all blisters but I am in a soccer camp so im running and my legs are rubbing so they popped & now they're very painful. I've been googling some stuff about it & some people say its herpes but that's not what it looks like- is it just a rash???
Im only 14 & I've never done anything with anyone. Never kissed a boy, etc.

Okay soo... i got stung by a bee three days ago. The first day it was fine, just a little itchy. The second day the area was swollen a little and very itchy! By the third day half my arm was blown up like a balloon and it was extremely red & itchy. I don't know if this is serious or not. Is my throat going to close up? Please help me?!

I want to be a bone marrow donor, but I am only 16 years old. You have to be 18 years old to be a donor. I was wandering if I can be a donor if I have parental consent.

I was recently diagnosed with type two diabetes . I am taking a pill for it twice a day but having a terrible time .My docter did not tell me much . I am going to a support group in August but I am so depressed . I feel like my life is over . I can't eat anything I like and it feels like all I do is think about food and test my blood now . Are there any sweets or ice cream that I can eat ? If I eat one bagel or bowl of ice cream my sugar level goes sky high . I am sick of veggies . What should I do ?

I have what appears to be a small lipoma under the skin on my forehead. It's harmless, but unsightly.

My options for having it removed without paying are slim to none. I was therefore considering doing the surgery myself.

Are there any surgeons or student surgeons who have removed lipomas and can advise me of anything I should know about self-excision of a lipoma? If I cut the skin with a scalpel (after strilising it of course) will the lipoma pop out easily enough or will it require further manipulation?

Basically how easy is this to do yourself?

Many thanks.

Three years ago, I had a CBC: WBC 3.9 (lymph 46%), hemoglobin 13.0 and hematocrit 36.0%. Only WBC and hematocrit were outside of the normal range, though not by much. I had this test done b/c I skipped 8-9 periods (no other illness, medication, eating disorder, excessive exercise, or undue stress). Even 2 months of progesterone therapy did not work, though it eventually came back on its own.

Now my new doc says I'm slightly anemic. He did a test on my serum and told me to take 1 iron pill a day. I've been taking them for about a month and haven't really felt any difference (I get randomly depleted, though I can still run long distance). I'm going back for more blood tests in a few months.

Also, my neck is usually a little tender. I don't mean to sound like a hypochondriac...

P.S. I had an abnormal liver function test a few months ago; ultrasound normal. Going to repeat that, also. I have microscopic hematuria which they will also check.

I have like a jillion of these little red dots. They look like bug bites and they're like everywhere. It almost looks like a trail. there's a couple under my arm and then there's like a cluster of a bunch on my hip! But there's also like a bunch of litle bites like on my chest and stuff. They're not itchy or anything they're just all red about the size of dime is the biggest. I washed my sheets the night before waking up with them.

Interested in knowing what it feels like right as they are putting you out. Is it a scary blacking out feeling, or fading away feeling?

This may seem a little gross but one of my friends has body odour and nobody really has the guts to tell him. He only has it sometimes, but he can't seem to smell it. er why?

My terrible wife sprayed me with this chemical she found in a bottle in the garage. It has given me a rash on my arm and face and shoulder and hand. I washed it off and put some lotion on it but it really burns and itches. I don't know what was in the bottle, it came with the place we are renting.

Firstly, whats the difference between CHEMOTHERAPY and RADIOTHERAPY?..

Secondly, for a 70 year old colon cancer sufferer who will be undergoing chemotherapy, what effects should we expect? Will her hair fall out? What about her skin? Anything else I should know?
