I have excessive scarring on my back from nails, and I was wondering if there is any over the counter solutions, or should I seek a dermatologist for professional advice?

I got an accident when I was a 4-year-old girl. I ran into my mom with a kettle full of boiled water in her hand. The result was I got burn scars all over my chest and abdomen. It was 20 years ago, the scars now have turned white and a bit raised, especially on my chest. I tried many products before but nothing made a noticible improvement. I have never worn deep open-neck top or swim suit and I feel very self-conscious. Does anyone know an effective way but not so expensive that can help me? Thank you.

Why is it that when someone has cancer they can talk as much as they want about it even to strangers but when someone has a mental illness noone wants to talk about it?

Hi, I have been experiencing some tingling in the heart area. It feels like an ant crawling inside of the heart. Doesn't hurt but just feels quite weird. I can excersize but my heart beats fast. However, I can breathe normally. I went to see 5 doctors about this and they all took x rays, did the imaging of the heart (I forgot wat it was called), did EKG, and of course listened to my heart. They all said I was fine. What do I do?

Did white house press secretary Tony Snow have all of his colon removed years ago and does he have a colostomy? During an interview yesterday w/ Brian Williams he looked very sick. Has the cancer spread to his liver? What's his prognosis? My prayers are with him and his family at this time.

Do not say 'there is no known cure' because that's doctor talk for 'you do not have enough money to purchase this cure'.
I know there is some type of cure for cancer because, like I stated in my last question, I read some type of science magazine on it.
It has to deal with the injection of some type of charged microscopic gold platelets into your blood stream. Then after a few hours or days they put you under a heat lamp.
Or something of that sort.

I've had sex with someone who i think has hepatitis C 7 years ago. I haven't had any health problems since then nor do I have now. Is it possible that I might have hepatitis C? Please honest answers only, thanks!

I have hypothyroidism and my doctor always reads the numbers out to me and says this is high or low, but I'd like to know what the normal range is.
