I can't find the answer anywhere. The only thing I'm allergic is to dust. I'm not taking meds. It's not dry skin - I feel it from the inside. I itch mostly the thighs, vagina, arms badly, neck, chest, neck and head. And I had an apparent dandruff issue. I do get this random red and inflamed bumps that look very much like bug bites (nothing comes out). Nothing has helped - not lotion, anti-allergy pills, nothing. ***Also to note, I do get occasional histamine break-outs too. Mostly on the face and lips. Just last for about five mintutes or so. It's as if my body is fighting something....and loosing. Help! I'm suffering! thanks

what does it mean if my VLDL is 8. The normal range given by the lab is 10-130. Can you have VLDL that is too low? Or is the lower the better?

I was recently prescribed 2.5 % selenium lotion for a fungus on my skin. I was told the fungus is pretty harmless and easy to get rid of. The directions say leave on for only 10 minutes then wash off. If I leave it on longer, is it possible to absorb enough through my skin to be toxic.

Oxi-Med, the genital wart and herpes treatment cream?? I've heard bad things about aldera and do not want to try it. My dr. doesn't seemed concerned about my warts, I'm guessing maybe because I am pregnant they can't do other treatments. But I am sick of them, I've had them for about 2 months. I've tried at home remedy and none seem to work. Or maybe I'm just not doing it long enough. Can someone please help me. I can't change dr.s at the moment. But I found that Oxi-med cream online and wanted to order it, just wondering if it works. thanks.

When I checked my blood pressure on a machine at Wal-mart my systolic (top number) was very high at around 151 to 154 and my bottom number was around 80. I took it on the machine 3 times and it dropped each time. This bothered me as I was exremeley nervous when I took it so I went to my grandmotrhers and she and I both checked it manually and the top number was 130 to 134. Could the machine be that far off? Is manual the better way to go when checking blood pressure?

I am allergic to wasps, bees, hornets, fire ants, ect. I never knew this until about less than a week ago. I got stung by a wasp, or hornet, I don't know which, and I went to the hopital with tons of hives. It was bad. The doctor said if I get stung by another again I might faint. I've been stung by fire ants, as many kids have, and I just have been stung by wasps twice. I'm 11 going on 12. Is it normal to find out this late? Or for it to be that bad on my first reaction? Or what? Is this all normal? I don't know and I wanted to know. Please... please answer.

My friend has ringworm and now she says her animals have it. I don't know if she's been to a doctor yet or taken her animal to the vet.
Does it go away by itself or is medication needed for her and her animal?
And is it possible for the animals to get it?

In order to check, I decided to quit dairy products for three days. I feel so much lighter (i mean my tummy). I feel less full or bloated in the morning. Usually after eating or drinking something dairy, I feel the symbtoms after 30 minutes, even if I drink coffee or tea. Could I be lactose intolerant?
