Hello!

I have had a skin tag on the underneath of my arm for many years, however it rubbed against my t-shirt today and it hurt (this is the first time it has ever hurt) I looked at the tag and it appears to have filled with blood?
Is this serious? I've looked them up on the internet before but they never seemed to be anything to worry about and I thought i'd get around to having it removed one day - but now as it has filled with blood and is painful I am a little concerened.

Thanks in advance
Ally x

that she was recently diagnosed with both herpes and genital warts. She told me she also has a really bad rash right now and it's itching her and it's painful.

So now, I am paranoid beyond belief and I'm wiping down and nearly sterilizing the toilet (we share the only bathroom) seat before I go to the bathroom. Should I be really worried, or should I keep doing this, or go to a friends' in our complex?

Serious responses only please.

Going to the doctor tomorrow, I think I'm having an outbreak right now, from what I've read.

I feel nauseated, stressed, and feel very itchy where the bumps have formed on my penis. But my legs have gotten red and itchy as well.

Is it a problem to scratch at it?

Also, what are the best over the counter medicines to take? Something a 17 year old can buy at Wal-Mart (wal-mart only, no wal-greens or other places avaliable)
