i have this really really bad underarm rash. I've tried a lot of things....arm and hammer extra strength relief for itching.....creams.....A LOT of stuff.
I know it's not my razor (I haven't been shaving lately and it's still there) i'm using non-scented deodarent that's perscription and I don't put it on too heavily anymore, and now i'm not putting on ANY body spray in fear it will get worse. But it prob wouldn't even make a difference. It's still there.

it's mainly all red around that area. it looks like I have dried skin and it looks a little flaky. (I hope i'm not grossing you out) Where my arm creases its darker and itches more there. It's gone away twice and now it's back again. I can't get it to go away and it burns REALLY bad.
I really hope someone can help me....since my doc kant!!!!!!!

And if so, do you have any other additional information that would be helpful. It's called Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Everything you were taught about the symptoms of breast cancer does not apply to this type. And it is extremely lethal. No lumps and it doesn't show up on a mammogram. A 16 year old girl even died from it, just because she was too embarrassed to tell her mom that her breast looked funny. And most doctors mistake it for a simple infection upon initial examination. Please read the following link for more information (i hope this saves some lives!):

7 Years ago I was diagnosed with HPV, they said that I had a strand which causes abnormal paps. For the last 2 years I have had normal pap both times. My problem is about 8 months ago I had lesions show up on my bottom. I questioned my gyno and she says it is genital warts. I have never actually had warts until now, so my question is, Is it typical for that strand of HPV to lay dormant for the last 7 years? My partner has not changed in 5 years. I strongly doubt he has cheated.

If he finds he has HPV will they give him a shot to take care of it? I know it's a women's disease, but what do they do to help the men?

I woke up this morning and it hurts to swallow again. I have a fever (99-101). I have the white pus pockets AGAIN. I just got done with my tonsillitis antibiotics on Monday morning. Do I have tonsillitis again, or do I have strep throat (which I've never had)? Should I go back to the doctor?

I'm wondering if I have a staph infection. A bunch of kids at my school recently had them, (mostly football players), but I don't hang out with these kids, and I have 6 or 7 very tiny scabby things all over my body, (one on my hand, the rest on my legs), that started out looking like bug bites. When I itched them they broke and now they are infected/ scabbed. I don't know if this is a staph infection or if it needs to be treated. I don't think they are speading but they don't seem to be improving. I have been putting anti-bacterial ointment on them. Is this a good idea? Do I need to go to the doctor? Does staph go away on it's own? What are the chances this is staph?

Whenever i eat a pizza or something with moerella cheese on, about 30 - 60 minutes later i get unbearable pains in my intestinal area. I can only describe it as an extreme constipation feeling. My gut is constantly gurging and making noises throughout this.

Why is this happening?

I was just wondering if you have been treated for hypothyroid. Just recently I have been diagnosed and began a treatment, my question is how did you handle yours, what were you treated with, and how do you feel about your treatment. What were effects. For example I have only been on this pill for a little over a week and have began loosing weight, and have a very decreased appitite. Have you lost weight? How much and how much should I expect to loose? My doctor did tell me I would loose weight so I know its ok. THANKS!
