My daughter has various food allergies and is under the care of an allergist, but this past weekend she reacted (hives) to what we think was ranch dressing. She's not allergic to eggs or dairy. Anyone else have a reaction to something this specific?

I work as a waitress a couple days a week to make some extra cash, and usually when I work I'm on my feet for about 10 hours at a time. When I come home, my calves are swollen to at least 2x their normal size. I can also actually feel how they are swollen and they ache and throb. Also, I notice that just on a daily basis when I wake up in the morning my calves are normal, but by the evening they are larger. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this and how I can make it better? I'm an extremely busy person and scheduling a drs appt is a major pain for me, so going in for a consult is really a last resort! Thanks so much!

My boyfriend decided to shave all his pubes off including his testicular hair. Within hours he has a red patchy/blotchy rash,he's really worried about this. I recon (although i havent seen it) it is bad shaving rash... to which i say gentlely exfoliate, moisturise and clean, I've also told him to wear loose fitting cotton boxers to lessen the irritation. However he think's there is something seriously wrong, he refuse to listen to me and wants a prognosis now, but refuse's to go to the doctors. Does anybody have any other suggestions on what he should do? he currently believe's he's going to have ingrown hairs all over, which will get infected... can anybody think of away to get rid of the rash or at least get him to exfoliate? He is seriously paranoid about this.

I am 24 years old and have had perfect vision allmy life. Recently my eyes seem to be a bit blurry, or they feel like theyre straining. Also at the same time I have been experiencing a mild tingling in my left foot. Could this be a sign of diabetes? If so what kind of doctor would I go to to check up on this?
