He took zero medical history, only filled out form with name and address and insurance. No assistant took any medical history.

I was told I have eczema..I broke out in an extremely itchy rash on my calves after remodeling. He concurred it was probably an allergy (to the dust or possible mold stirred up) that went to eczema.

Natural treatments I tried did not help. I want to get rid of it as it is unsightly and itchy but I am worried about potential problems.

He ordered a steroid cream (betamethasone dip aug .05% cream) for 6 weeks. He said it would be a lot better in a week but if I discontinued it before 6 weeks, it may come back.

I have just been told I may have high blood pressure, I had a fasting blood sugar of 151 (but ai c was 5.9)..this means I am prediabetic they said, Also I have developed severe gout and have arthritis. I am also clinically depressed and long felt I had adrenal insufficiency due to high stress for 20 years and symptoms of this.

I read this steroid cream

They are right next to eachother. Tonight I was touching his hair and felt them. He said he had noticed them about 6 months ago, and they have gotton bigger. His family has a background of brain tumors and cancers, and I am really worried. He has alot of the syptoms, and calls me in the middle of the night complaining about horrible headaches.

I looked it up and it said something about a Lymph Node. I am no doctor, and just really need a few pointers. I love my boyfriend, and I am already scared for him. Please help.

Internet research is showing that it is not a problem, but I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this. We do not plan on having children soon, but we just discovered that we were the same blood type and I have started to become concerned about it.

ok, i have had strep for 2 months now. everytime i take all my antibiotics like a good little girl, and a day or 2 later i start getting sick again, and i change my toothbrush and wash everything i own, i still get sick. im starting my fourth prescription. its not strep A, its a different strain. ive done different antbiotics. Im sick of being sick. Is there something else I'm missing? Anything else that can be done other than antibiotics? Ive never reacted well to strep, but this is just getting silly now. the first time i got it i was delerious with fever and vomiting blood, and ive gotten progressivly less sick, and now its just a sore throat, but really, this is just getting silly. I want to be healthy again.

Ok here's the deal, my aunt is kind of worried about this lump ON her right arm. It is like 5 inches away (downwards) from the shoulder.

It just appeared like that, out of no where! It is fairly large, it is not skrinking or growning, in is obviously under the skin because it's a lump, no red heads or any of that And i doesnt hurt her.

But at times, when she uses her had a lot, her joints hurt.


COuld it be cancer...or is it just a cyst?

I get allergic reactions like itchy throat, coughing, sneezing, etc. when I go to my sisters house. I always thought it was from her black lab, but she recently did a mold test in her basement and it tested positive for mold. I did always smell a musty odor coming from there. Also my husband gets all stuffy and can't breathe when we go there. My question is- is my allergy coming from her dog or the mold? How can I Tell? By the way I do have allergies to cats but not to my own two dogs or any others. And her family who has no known allergies don't seem to be affected (if its the mold.) Any Answers would be appreciated. As i am concerned about this mold situation.
