I have an area that is red and sore in the *lips* of my vagina.
I lost my virginity and he used a condom and it caused a yeast infection. I was treated for the yeast infection and now the sore area is red and painful. This morning I took a qtip with alcohol and put some on the area.
It burned and had blood on it.
I am on my period right now and I have been tested for any diseases and they all came back negative.
What could be wrong...? It could also be because of the frequent shaving I do.

I have never had any food allergies or intolerances in my life, but recently, I have really cut down on my dairy simply because I like the taste of soy products better. A few days ago, my friends and I went out for ice cream and my stomach began to rumble and cramp, and it didn't go away until hours and hours later. could i have developed some kind of lactose intolerance over the months that I haven't been eating much dairy?

the youngest 5 out of my 7 kids have this weird habit of falling asleep during the day in odd places. I'll be in the kitchen, and 3 of them will run through screaming/playing tag, whatever, and 5 min, later i'll go into the living room and down the hall, and one is under the cofee table, one is in the bathtub, and the other is on the bottom stairs, all fast asleep. 5 min. later they are all running around again, when i get back to the kitchen, one of them is fast asleep on the kitchen counter.they are like this all day, hyper, asleep, hyper, asleep. i wouldn't mind if they slept in their beds when they got tired, but underneath the dining room table? they won't even sleep on the couch, behind the couch, but not on the couch. i've tried talking to them, threatening them, punishing them, and nothing works. the 5 who do this are ages 5, 6, 6, 8, & 9. the oldest 2 ages 12 & 13 sleep often to, but they sleep in their beds. any ideas on how to get them out of this habit?

I can't believe this. My father in law left my husband and the whole family for another women and really didn't care about what her left behind. Only for everyone to suffer. My huband as not seen his father for like 4 years and now a month and 2 weeks ago he was in the hospital with pain. They found colon cancer, removed colon, the one week spreaded to his liver, and then 3 weeks after that it's in his lungs. He now has fluid going to his brain. I just can't belive that in the amount of time he went from walking around normal to know they say he won't make it to the end of the week. I guess I have to face and my husband to that he is just going to die and there is nothing we can change. I ca't belive a man could walk away from his family and not look back. There was not time to heal from this and now we all have to go on from this of what he did.

I guess my question is has anyone gotten to far with death like this and just pulled out of it? Thank you!

Hi, my daughter is 17 years old and has woken up with huge blisters 5 times now. The first when she was about 5yrs old and the rest over the last 2-3yrs. They have occurred on her upper arm, both knees, top of thigh and finger. There is redness round the blister and the liquid in it is clear. It looks like a burn. When it pops, it scabs over, takes weeks to heal and scars as it seems to consist of many layers of skin. The wound is quite deep so takes a lot of healing. Nobody seems to know what it is, not the GP nor Consultant Dermatologist and we are very worried in case she wakes up with it on her face as the scarring's pretty bad. I have photographs if anyone has any ideas or would like to see them. There is no pattern to the blisters as to when they come and the Consultant does not think it's allergy or eczema related and not typical of any other condition he's aware of and just said whatever it is, it's rare. We live in Northern England. Thanks in advance for your help! :)

I have recently been diagnosed with MRSA. I've had it for awhile, but it was very mild until recently. It's now quite agressive.
I met with an ID for the first time yesterday. He put me on Rifampin/Bactrim combination therapy. I understand Rifampin is primarily used to treat tuberculosis.
Do you know anyone who has tried this therapy, and if so, what was their experience? Side effects? Did it help? Have they had more outbreaks since completing the therapy?
Also, I am looking for people to speak with about MRSA. People who have been through it themselves or with someone they love. I'm having trouble getting registered for the only forum I could find (yes, I wrote the admin... no reply yet).
Any responses are appreciated. Thank you!
