i was in hawaii last week. I got a really nice tan. Although i was a little sun burn, i used alot of lotion everyday. now.. a few days later, i'm starting to peal alot!! Now my tan is soo uneven! how do i prevent pealing in the future? When you get a sunburn, does that mean that you WILL eventually peal?........ btw.. does using sunscreen prevent tanning? or do you still get tan

Thanks

If both people in the relationship already have the virus, is it necessary to wear a condom? Will not wearing a condom make the warts more likely to reappear?

What else could it possibly be? I took an upper GI tract test of some sort before I was diagnosed, and I really cant believe that the test was not accurate... I recently did a C UREA breath test, and Ill have the results to that test in about a week now. Im just wondering what I can expect. Ive spent the past few hours trying to find answers online, but I find nothing else.

Every time I eat anything that has raw onions in it I start to feel very sick, ie: lightheaded and nauseas oh and the taste stays in my mouth/throat for ages.

When it's cooked I am alright. Does this make sense?

Before I was born, my father slept with someone and got herpes without knowing it.
Then he gave it to my mom. Not sure how long, but after that I was born.
I sometimes get random cold sores on my lip, like i'll wake up and there will be a bump. None down there though..
I am not sexually active either.
Could I have inherited it from them?
Or would I have to be tested to be 100% sure?

About a month and a half ago I started noticing a small red bump on my penis and a week later it started growing and I noticed 2 more, then thay started itching. After 2 weeks later and applying steroids, itch cream, benedryl and other stuff it wasnt showing any signs of relief and started spreading around the pelvic and thigh region and little itch here and there around the body. So I went to the doctor to get it checked he said it was chiggers and to use nail polish, so I followed his instructions and no relief from itching if it was chiggers I'm sure they died because I drenched myself in nail polish? Still Itchy and its worse I now have it everywhere butt, armpits, under belly button, in belly button, scrotum, knees, thighs, between fingers, little dots/bumps everywhere The only time it stops itching is when I stay in the bath, but when I get out its bad again, I know its not a rash because it keeps spreading, I am not sexually active I'm only 16. What do I do? It's Been 2 Months?

yesterday I noticed weird whitness that looked sorta like dead skin on the inside of my lips. Then today (the first day of school) it was horrible. Theres a lot of this 'dead skin' and my lips hurt...like sting. especially on all the corners. It hurts to talk and eat. if anything like salad dressing or any fruit drips on them it stings really bad!! i cant stand it. I've ben using tons and tons of vasaline. but its not helping to much. i feel like my lips are going to rip open if i open my mouth to wide. it hurts so bad. What can i do to get rid of this and sooth the pain??

mostly stuffy nose, and sneezing a lot. I'm allergic to ragweed. And nothing seems to help. I've tried Benderaly and flonase but neither have helped. I'm allergic to a lot of medcines so I don't want any medicine if it's not natural. thank you!

I wash not only with water, but cleanser, toner and other things. I do use lotion afterwards too.

Is it bad for my skin to clean so much in a day?

Usually, I wake up at around 7 and I was my face and so on. I tend to wash 4-5 times a day. The times when I wash, varies.

I only wash when I feel like I need to feel refreshed and/or bored.

This started after Hayden Panettiere's commercial.
I forgot which, but it had the lines:

Washing your face is boring, right?
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

WRONG!! *splashes foam at the camera*

Bored? Wash your face!
