I am 24wks pregnant and I have a 13month old. I have had the chicken pox before when I was younger and now I suspect that I have shingles. I went to the emergency room yesterday and the doctor said that she thinks it is impetigo, very unlikely, the rash is very very painful. She gave me a cream to put on it and it seems to be just getting worse and so is the pain. The rash consists of about 12 medium small red and purple blisters on my inner forearm close to my elbow, the skin under the blisters is deep red. My whole arm seems to be hypersensitive to any touch. Has anyone ever had shingles, and if so what were your symptoms? And any suggestions on how to deal with the pain? I can't sleep.
Thanks

My bf is diabetic and he has a plantar's wart that's not going away. we've been taking out the little dots but it doesn't want to heal.
all the medicine at the pharmacy says don't use this if you're diabetic.
He tried the duct tape thing that didn't work either.
for now he's been soaking his feet everyday with the green sandy spa stuff in hot water and filing the calluoses off.
So is there something else he could try? please it's very painful.

I think I may be allergic to the blue dye in American Eagle jeans and I was wondering if anyone knows where to find the information about how they treat the material.

I developed a severe sore throat after cutting through some insulation from an old store. I decided to see a doctor about this because it was unusual for me to have one. When I went I told him that the insulation might have been the cause of my sore throat. The Doctor replied well thats not the cause, it is either bacterial or viral. He performed some tests on me and both the test came back negative for both. That was it, I went home without answers to the reason. I was thinking it might have been asbestos related. I am just not the same lately my sore throats come back, I have dry mouth constantly, and excess phlem with blood. I would appreciate anyones answers for the possible cause of these symptoms. Thank You!

She didn't give me too much information, but at that moment I couldn't think straight assuming something bad was wrong. Only thing I remember her saying is she wants me to see a cardio doc because my ekg wasn't to good. Got any ideas what it may be don't be shy neither give me everything you might think. It will help me sleep tonight!

for like a week i had red and itchy labia, no bumps or anything, then it went away immediately when i got my period.. well when it stopped i realised i had what looks like a diaper rash or something between my vagina and anus. its definately not a herpes rash, its big and with hundreds of tiny bumps, not in clusters. very dry skin. can this be a yeast infection?

I have been nursing for his whole life but since he is nursing less, my supply is getting low and I can't seem to keep up anymore. I need to get my son to drink something else (besides water - which he loves). I tried milk and he had such a change in behavior, he was crabby and completely difficult. He was so unhappy and seemed actually inconsolable. I then tried soy milk thinking he might be allergic to regular milk. But I got the same reaction with the soy milk. Talked to my pediatrician who wants me to "push" the milk. After seeing the reaction in my son, I just don't want to put him through it again. He also can't tolerate ice cream or yogurt. ANY IDEAS???

I'm doing research on various medical conditions and diseases and need royalty-free photos to illustrate these. Not illustrations or stock photos for ads or websites, but *actual* photos documenting real patients who suffer from these diseases (shot during examination or surgery and not microscopic shots). Does anyone know of any websites that sells these???

Many thanks!

My wife got trichomonas vaginalis, and I read that this is a sexually transmited disease (STD), but neither my wife or me have been unfaithful. So I'd like to know if there's another alternative transmission method rather than sexual for this disease.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
P.S. I'm very worried and I was thinking in asking the divorce. Please help me. - Sorry for my english

I woke up Wednesday morning achy with a sore throat. I spent all day yesterday in bed and just generally feel like crap today. My appetite is out the window and I feel like I'm getting a fever. I'm usually burning up in my office in the afternoons, and today I've got minor chills. Even though I slept all yesterday, I still feel exhausted. My husband had a flu shot last week. Someone told me today that it's possible I got the flu from him, since the flu shot contains the live virus. Is this true??????
