My scalp really dries out and flakes. I use head and shoulders but that does not help. I also tried not washing my hair but twice a week and that didn't help much either.

My aunt has had cancer for a while and has just found out today that she is stopping treatment because it's not working and the cancer has spread. I want to write out a card to her letting her know how much she means to me...but I am worried about what I write. I don't want to offend her or make her feel worse. Anyone have any words of encouragement or gratitude that I can give her?

When you go on your round of accutane, and your face and body completely clears up, and then stop on accutane, does it come back FULL FORCE? or can you be able to control it?

It was like that for a couple days, I think my mascara might have irritated it. Well, like a complete dummy, I kept putting my contacts in and wearing mascara for one more day, and this morning I had a hard time opening my eye, and there were a bunch of yellow crusties in the outer corner of my eye. It looks like the vessels in my eyes are all red and irritated. What's wrong with my eye?

Please don't tell me I have pink eye, unless you are sure I really do. Because I can't afford to go to the doctor, I have no insurance... :(
I'm 23, female. Oh yeah and sometimes I touch my dirty hand to my eye... I'm a cashier. I know I'm dumb, sorry.

The color is all uneven in some places! It looks terrible! My doctor thought I had eczema, and gave me protopic to put on it, but it didn't do anything! and i don't think i even HAD eczema!

my momz won't take me to the doctor again cuz she says they don't know what they are saying. she is giving me all this herbal tea, but NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING!

Hey peeps, whats good??

- Well heres my problem/Question:

I've recently learned (1 year ago) that i was allergic to some kind of sting; I would fully break out in hives, and would swell up to grotesque levels. .....pretty nasty stuff. (Strange thing is, I have been stung about 3 times prior to that incident, ans sustained nothing whatsoever).

I got stung today on the thumb like 2 or 3 times in one go by yellowjackets, and all that happened was a swelling of my hand and nothing else (am NOT complaining here).

My Question is - If im allergic, will i receive this severely nasty reaction EVERYTIME that I am stung, or is there a percentile?

any answers would be greatly appreciated.

For around 2 months now, I have experienced left side chest pain and sometimes left arm pain (either in my shoulder or my forearm). Since one month ago, I also have had some pain in my upper back (bellow and between my shoulder blades).The pain in my chest is kinda sharp and I can localize it. Also, it doesn't get worse when i breathr. I also feel kind of dizzy or weakened sometimes. Still I have had 2 EKG-s (both normal), I went to a cardiologist (he checked me out and said my heart isn't the problem) and I have had my blood checked (normal as well). My heart rate at rest is around 56 bpm (sometimes lower, sometimes higher) but goes up normally after physical activities. I am 23 of age, I DON"T SMOKE and I am a fairly active person. My doc also said it could be something to do with my spine (due to wrong postures) but I don't know what I should do next. Any ideas?

Ok, ultimately I KNOW I'm not really going to know until I get to a doctor. But right now, I'm SCARED as hell right now.

Well, about a month and a half ago, I noticed I was itching down there. I looked at my genitals with a hand mirror and noticed lots of dry skin. I thought this was because I left my Veet hair removal cream on too long a couple of days before, which can cause irritation.

The itching and dry skin never really went away. Areas around my anus and vag lips began to redden.

I thought it was chaffing, so I bought a chaffing cream, and that helped ALOT.

I quit using it after about 2 weeks. Now, my lips are super itchy and burning. I dont have any bumps from what I can tell, just some redness from the itching. And everytime I scratch, it irititates it even MORE. Seems like the skin comes off or something.

I don't have fever or anything. My last partner is a dentists and says he had gets checked for this frequently. Says he doesn't have anything.
