I have only found it on the toilet paper and no where else. I'm 6'3, 41 years old, and I weigh 358lbs. I'm starting to get a little bit worried because I thought I might have had hemroids but I just found out that is supposed to stop after a period of time. Is this anything to worry about or should I go to a doctor immediately? Thanks for your time and possible answers.

I've heard this but I don't know if it's true. I asked my doctor and he was unclear; just giving me statistics.

My son has had a cough for the past couple nights. Non productive and dry. This afternoon, he started sounding congested, and in the past couple hours his voice has become sort of hoarse.. He sounds like he needs to clear his throat, but when he tries, his throat sounds reallly dry, so I am guessing it is just congested. Does these symptoms sound like a cold to you?? There is also no sign of a fever. I will make him an appoitment on Monday if he does not get better, but for the time being, I have been treating him with over the counter products. Also he is three years old.

Well, I received a wardrobe from a neighbor who moved away to another country. However, my dad said he doesn't want to use it because he's afraid there might be diseases or something in the wardrobe. He said something about "something that irritates the skin" ...because we don't know if the owner had anything like that. Is there a way to kill any bacteria or something in the wardrobe? Or are we just thinking too much? Haha, anyways, thanks.

I don't know any other way to describe what I am feeling, but it feels like my brain is going to explode. My head has been feeling a lot of pressure inside it, and it makes my ears and cheeks feel swollen. Sometimes during the night it is hard to sleep and hard to wake up because it's so tight. I dont want it to be anything serious, but it's happening at this moment, and I have no idea what to do about it.

It hurts to wipe after I urinate and can be mildly itchey. The Dr. can't find anything wrong. I wonder if taking caffeine pills is making the 'female' liguid sensitive to my body. Any thoughts on this embarrassing issue?

Alright so I was at a strip club the other day, and got a lap dance. So she started grinding all over me and I started kissing her breasts, however she had them pierced. Is it dangerous to kiss her breasts even if they were pierced; could I get some sort of STD doing that?

And since it's a lap dancer is it dangerous to kiss other parts of her body anyway, could I get a disease just by kissing her body and breasts (which were pierced)? However I didn't kiss her vagina or kiss her lipps, but I did have my hands all over her vagina and her butt crack( but didn't get any juice)

Just want to know if I didn't get any diseases since I know they prob get that by 200 guys a day! Just want to know if kissing and touching those parts and touching other stuff right after that like my wallet and cell phone won't get infected with some damn thing I don't want to be suprised about in the future. I didn't get any juice on my hands; didn't finger her or stick my hand in her butt hole just touch

She is allergic to many things, but specifically onions and garlic. She is only two and I'd like some "mild" seasoning to spruce up her plain food. Thanks

I read that lipomas are benign and are not cancerous. I also read that lipomas don't become cancerous. Another website said that in rare cases a lipoma can become cancerous. I have a lipoma on my brain on or beside my pituitary gland. The doctor said it was a benign tumor. Here's the main question I want answered. WOULD THE MRI SHOW IF THERE WAS ANY CANCER IN THE LIPOMA?

I know it's sexually transmitted, but can't it only be transmitted if your partner has it? Can you get it in the same way you get a cold?
