The pharmacist always says, "You should finish the course." Why? What's the harm in discontinuing after two days if your infection has gone away?

Im just wondering, its been something i never really knew the answer to. But how long after intercourse/kissing, does it take for herpes (both oral or genital) to start showing up? Can any std start to show the same day the intercourse took place?

My dad is having chest problems and mild shortness of breath. its in the middle of his upper stomach and his chest. He was feeling a lot of discomfort and pain in his neck and jaw but has said most the pain went away from his face. He is still feeling tingling/aching/ throbbing in his left arm. From what I can tell these are all signs of a heart attack and he is 49 years old But what else could it be?

I've heard replies that "so what if people don't get vaccinated, if you get yours, you're protected."

somehow that doesn't ring true to me. For some reason, I feel if disease is allowed to return due to lax vaccination in a population, that disease will be that much harder to control.

Am I wrong? Should I just worry about myself and not care that others are getting polio, etc, if I vaccinate myself and my family? If we're vaccinated, would we still be as protected as we are now that these diseases are not rampant like they used to be?

I was just wondering how you feel about it? I have met quite a few people who are HIV positive, but I dont really have any personal friends with the disease.
I just wonder how you feel about it, and if you have been tested?

I sometimes get these tiny little bumps around my lower eye lid area and they look awful, what ould they be and how do I get rid of them? They do not hurt or anything just look like little pimples.

2007-10-19 18:07:22 · 3 answers · asked by Jennifer M 2 in Skin Conditions

if you did what did you use to get rid of it. I have it on my foot and it is so painful to walk. I have it for a long time already cuz first i thought that it was just a calluse,and i had it for a long time and then i found out that it was a wart. I started to take some medications right after, but it doesnt seem like its helping, well its says on the bottle that its supposed to get bigger first that cuz it is pushed from the inside, and thats how u see that it works, but I dont know it feels like its never gonna go away. Im so tired of it. so what did you use to get rid of it.

I've been to doctors for years and have still yet to figure out if I really have something wrong with me. I'm starting to feel a bit crazy or a hypochondriac. Anyway is there a certain way to explain your symptoms to a doctor, so they will take you more serious?

For years I have TMJ, a herniated disk in my lower back and the disk in my knee is detracting as well. Not only this I have "points" on my body places if they are touch cause extreme discomfort - like a big bruise or have sharp random pains. Sternum, Collarbones, Ribs, Lower back near tail bone, hips, sides of upper Thighs, sides of upper arms, either sides of my neck. This is also combined with extreme fatigue. Lately I have been sweating at night while I sleep. Anyway just not sure what else to do or to tell the doctors to have them help me. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

has been this way ever since. I hate it. My dermatologist said it is most likely due to Reynaud's Phemonemon. My hands are also very red/purple.

I have tried creams and multiple different types of laser treatments. Do you think actual surgery could be used to tamper with the many blood vessels that are so close to my face?

I do not know what else to do and I hate it... could a plastic surgeon possibly clear this redness from my face?

Also, would something like blood thinner work?

Advice from people that know what they are talking about would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
