My daughter has it on her legs and it looks really bad. The doctor said it would go on its own but this could take up to 2 years.

Has anyone had this condition and managed to get rid of it? Any suggestions would be gratefully received as my daughter has just started school and she is very self concious about them.

Please only serious answers no comediens.

for the last three years ive had back troubles (only being 25 year old male )
it seems when i pull my back i urinate a fair bit of blood (coke colour)for a day or so.
ive been to a uroligist and to be fair they didnt give me alot of answerers (only pain from haveing camaras put down certain places that they were not ment to go, to look in my bladder)
so ive been carrying on for the last few years pulling my back every now and then and urinating blood.
im a little worried as i was supposed to go back for year checkups (witch i didnt do) but just recantly i went to the doctors and had a check up they have found (bearing in mined the last time i pulled my back was three weeks previous to the appointment) blood and puss in my urine so i think there going to send me back to the uroligist. ( personally from previous experience is a wast of time)
so really my question is has anybody had the same problem or know anything about theses symptoms?

I've also been bruising easily and get tired pretty easily. I started taking Wellbutrin two weeks ago but I wouldn't think that it would be bothering me after that long. I felt like I was getting a cold Thursday and took some Nyquil which made me feel even more sick than when I eat. Does anyone know what could cause this? I've been on depo provera birth control for about two years now so the chances of me being pregnant are very very slim.

Could i be a hypochondriac? I often think im sick with all kinds of diseases...and usually they vary. Like if i read something online about a certain disease then ill start to feel it and believe that i have it. I start to actually see the symptons and it drives me crazy and then i'll start crying. Im also sort of weak minded, i can't take things alot and if i see something serious , i tend to think that it could happen to me. Like yesturday, i was reading about different diseases online and then i started to think that i could have each one..and its like persistent in my mind over and over and over.

PARENTS ONLY PLEASE!
I would like to hear from parents that have actually given their child the MMR or parents that have not given their child the MMR and their experiences... (I know there is no clear evidence so that is why I would like feedback from experienced parents only).
My daughter is scheduled to have MMR soon so I would like feedback.... Thanks!!!

Do not get me wrong, but what the heck is it with breast cancer? Dont get me wrong, I feel bad for women who get it, I have known people who have it. But arent men at the same risk? Why are we just raising awarness for just women, why not men to?

Due to a chronic back condition I was prescribed a fentanyl patch. I wore it for a couple days then the area beneath it became welted and irritated. The second one had the same effect in just a few hours. I recently had surgery, now every time I dress the incision I have a reaction to where the adhesive touches the skin for any length of time. I have never had this problem until the duragesic patch. I have tried several types of medical adhesives and all seem to have the same effect. For example I removed some of the tape around 30 hours ago and it is still welted and itching and in a place or two burns. Does anyone have an idea what I might do about this and/or an alternative for holding on the dressing as this is the most irritating thing I can imagine. I have tried washing the area with alcohol to remove the adhesive and a cortisone cream for the irritation and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated more than you know.

This happened 3 or so days ago. It is smaller now, but hurts. It is hard. Given that it has already been three days, will I be okay until morning? I don't feel nauseated. I wasn't as hungry as normal today, but I think that was because I ate a ton a ton of food last night. My legs are sore, but I am a server and worked a lot this weekend. Will I be okay until the morning? Anything I should do until then.

I did NOT see anything bite me, can't confirm it was a spider.

Oh yeah... I also have few red bumps a little over from the bite, not sure if they are related. I think the bit looks worse in the pic than in the mirror, but it is my back so I can't see it that well.


I can't really afford the ER, will I be

S Do abscess go away for good?
I believe I have a abscess on my neck...well now, 2. They are small bumps on the side of my neck. One used to be pretty big (not like any of the HUGE ones I've seen looking on the web), but it shrunk with a heat compress. Didn't completely go away but was rather small. Now I have one more. They are right under my left ear. I went and saw a doctor, and she prescribed antibotics, but I think she was an imbecile. She had told me that abscess are like bursitis (which I have on the back of my right foot) and that they never go away. Once you have them, you have them for good. They can shrink, but will never go away. Is this true? Because I don't desire to walk around with lumps on my neck. I want them dealt with. Now, I must clarify, that they are no bigger than peas, but I'm very particular about my looks. I'd rather not have this.

Recently, I've been experiencing things with my body that I've never felt before. Pains in chest. Sometimes the pain is dull and sometimes it's sharp. The pain is getting worse. There is also a matter of shortness of breath. First I feel like my throat muscles drop as if I had no control over it. During this time I am unable to swallow or breathe. and I feel an anxiety fall over my body. Then, I get pains up and down my arms and in chest. The pains in my chest seem to remain on a daily basis. Sometimes it almost feels as though they are soar like after a workout. I will usually get light-headed and dizzyness without cause. My heart rate normally stays somewhat the same during all of this. The doctors have labeled panic attacks without giving me a thorough check, but panic attacks from what I understand don't involve pain. I do get nausia alot during the days and it seems I been getting dehydrated easier. I'm not sure what to do anymore.

I work in a school where a child in my class has ringworm. I now have ringworm. It started in one place- and I now have 5 places where ringworm has spread. I have been using Myconizole since the first spot appeared- that one has almost cleared. I am also using alcohol to dry them up, then applying the myconizole several times a day.

I am beyond frustrated. I am washing my hands as usual and have never had this before. My family does not have it- but I am treating it, using separate towels and such. I am washing constantly.

If I go to my doctor, is it possible to have them prescribe an oral antifungual treatment? Are such treatments safe to take when you are breastfeeding? I am calling tomorrow from work but need ideas since I am so beyond frustrated.

The child's family said they are treating it and I do hope so.

Advice???
