I recently heard that WD40 can benefit people when rubbed into painful and stiff joints, particularly those with arthritis. Despite the fact that it is a spirit based material, greasy, smelly and possibly toxic to the skin, this fact is apparently well supported. Has anybody heard this fascinating piece of trivia? Has anyone heard of anyone benefitting in this way or indeed has anyone actually benefitted themselves? I have tried to find patients who have had success here but haven't heard a squeak from any of them ..... ( joke ) .... seriously, anyone got anything to say in support of this?

If a person has HPV, does this make them ineligible to donate blood in the future ?

2007-10-05 21:21:48 · 8 answers · asked by Yeti 2 in STDs

After years of poor treatment at my local health department (we are talking FIVE YEARS of abnormal paps before i finally got sent to a specialist!), I finally was diagnosed with HPV. My doctor told him he had never seen such advanced HPV in anyone my age before. I have the high-risk strain, NOT the warts-strain. My fiance got a wart on his penis and went to the urologist and got medicine. It went away for a while. Then it came back worse than before. He is getting it removed next week, but his doctor told him it was HPV. Now he is blaming me for it (not meanly, I told him about my hpv before we even were dating.) If I don't have warts or the HPV strain of warts, could I have given it to him? Or did he get it somewhere else?? I'm very confused about this....

My grandma died about 14 years ago from breast cancer, she was about 65, my mom died last summer at the age of 52 after having breast cancer for nine years. I had my first mammogram last year at the age of 34 and was sent in for another one, they said that I had dense breast tissue. I was wondering is there a percentage that I may or may not develop breast cancer. Oh, I forgot to add that my mom and my grandma's cancer was estrogen based. Should I get the genetic test? What are your opinions on this? Thank you

This resembles a huge red welt. I have never been very prone to acne and I shower and keep myself clean. I am a girl who is nearly 13 (yeah I am an early developer).
It hurts whenever I sit and I am having all these bad ideas of having a butt infection!!
The "zit" is big and red, with a white tip, and I am too wimpy to try and pop it (never had a huge whitehead zit before... I'm pretty lucky with genes when it comes to acne problems)

What should I do??

I first had the surgery in April and again in August. Is there any medication I can take. The laser surgery is very expensive and I can't keep affording this treatement. I know there is no cure, but is anyone had any successful treatment? Has anyone over the age 26 received the vaccine? I am over 30 but would still like to received the vaccine for "cancer purposes". Based on my dr. I have am Low Risk HPV and have the strains that cause warts not cancer, but I am still concerned and scared! I had other STD test performed and they all were negative. I know the immune system suppresses the disease, but what should I be doing because I now have the warts for the 3rd time! Please note, my ob/gyn removed the warts. I know found out a dermatologist can removed them so I made an appoint next week. Please only serious responses because I am so scared and worried!

I didnt know if having "Genital warts" and just simply having 1 wart is different or the same? I have had this one wart for a year and it is embarrasing and I have read that genital warts are extremely contagious..Should I use the same caution with this single wart I've had for a while. Also, I just attempted to cut it off. Im pretty sure I didnt successfully remove it but I did it to minimize the size to allow further efforts to take affect quicker (drug treatment). Please, serious input: Contagious, same as "genital warts", further removal methods???

My mother is elderly and insists on still being alone, I have convinced her to get a medical alert system in her home. I have looked on the internet to research them, but can't seem to see the difference in the different ones.
