I have suffered from random and bad ance breakouts on my face. They are usually quite large sore-looking places. And turn into scabbed sores. I have been to the dermatologist several times, but none of the ointments or pills they give helps. Are there any home remedies or suggestions to help prevent my breakouts??

Is a glucose level over 106 mg/dl after only 4 hours (not 8) of fasting cause for concern in someone who tested 91 mg/dl seven months earlier after fasting overnight (approximately 10 hours)? Generally, anything over 100 can be prediabetic, but both WebMD and the American Heart Association website say that this test requires eight hours of fasting. In this case, (91 after overnight fast in January, followed by 106 after four hour fast in August), (a) should it be assumed that the reading after the longer fast is more valid and the reading after the shorter fast is high because of too short a fasting period, or (b) is the increase of 15 mg/dl too much to attribute to fasting for only four hours, and evidence that the level is rising at an average rate of approximately 2 mg/dl per month.

This is in a 33-year-old white male, 5'6", 142 lbs at the first test, 134 lbs at the second test, nonsmoker, BP 128/76 at first test and 105/60 at second.

Are women the only sufferers of HPV? Are men affected or are they just carriers? I've seen alot of commercials and articles about it and how it relates to women but never read anywhere if it affects men.

i found this article that summarized the cause of leg swelling
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003104.htm
but still not answering my mother problem(60yrs).
I'm quite worry with statements of "Swollen legs may be a sign of heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure". But early this year she went to cardiologist , and dr early investigation said everything is fine. Few months back, her lab checking found nothing harm after checking her urine. And last year, she went for medical checkup that did not find anything about her liver.

Due to hypertension, she consumed 10mg of norvacs which according to the article may cause swelling leg as well.
Her swelling leg will come on and off. But definitely will have it for long journey trip.

Now, I am confused since i bring her to few dr's and none of them point out the cause neither give specific receipts for this.
I am not sure about water pills is, and what's its side effect, and if it possibly could help her?
Please help

I've already had FNA with indeterminate results. I have a nodule 1 1/4 centimeters with elevated white blood cells. My sister was recently diagnosed with NHL and successfully finished treatment. It seems too severe to have the surgery when the percentage of malignant nodules is so small. Any thoughts on waiting 3-6 months to see what happens before moving ahead with surgery?

I get bouts of constipation quite often and I'm wondering how you can tell if you have a bowel obstruction. I can go eventually, but the time it takes for me to do so just makes me wonder if something else besides IBS is up.

OK..Please only answer if you have knowledge on this. I have severe panic and anxiety and the only relief I have found is through an antidepressant called Lexapro and an anti-anxiety med called Xanax. I only take .5 mg a day of the Xanax because I have a VERY stressful job and it gets me through the day. I have "wiened" myself from Lexapro entirely.
I am currently trying to get pregnant and have some known fertility issues. I am doing acupuncture and chinese herbs before going the specialist route to help me get pregnant. Will Xanax interefere with ovulation? Is there a safe alternative?
