I have cut my thumb quite deeply (about 3mm or 1/10 inch. Immediately applied tcp. No plasters, thought would be ok.

Woked up and the cut, before was clean, is dark brown with clogged blood and my thumb is starting to hurt. Might be infected. Think people do things with salt and hot water but not sure for this. help on home remedies please.....

knows someone who has got it or had it, but earlier on you or they went for check ups like colonoscopys etc and it ketp coming back normal then to find out about 2 years or so later you have colon cancer? becasue colonoscopys can sometimes give you a faulse negative or a faulse positive. you get symptoms and go for a colonoscopy and the results are normal and a few years later it shows up as cancer, why is this. I am talking about me here. Any helpful answers will be appreaciated. Thank you very much and God bless.

I have been using Yaz birth control for a month and I am breaking out severly around my chin area. I also use proactiv and my skin has cleared everywhere else but my chin. But my chin area is very dry, I'm using a mousturizer but still breaking out. What can I do, or does my body just need to get used to the birth control?

The thing is I believe I have had this for awhile now. When i was 5 I was forced into sex by a kid that lived near me. I lived in a rural town so there weren't many people I could hang out with so I agreed to keep the friendship. I've had the symptoms for awhile now, but I didn't realize that it was an STD until Health class this year. I haven't told my parents any of this yet. I could go to a planned parenthood, but I can't drive and the closest one is 15 miles away. Any suggestions?

He had throat cancer, and the mass is at the base of his tongue. Has anyone seen cancer like this respond well to radiation and chemo? He's scared, and I'm not ready to lose my dad yet.

You can go to www.institutedc.org
and download a 35 page booklet about prescriptions and where to get them if you are having difficulty paying for your prescription medications.
They have the prescription names both brand and generic, and a telephone number under each where you can call and see if you qualify for either a free or low cost prescription.
Most pharmaceutical companies will give these drugs away free to needy people, or at much lower cost, but they do not
advertise. So, many people do not know about this.
If you are below the poverty level to 65,000.00 a year you may qualify for these prescriptions.
I assume you will have to prove to these people that for what ever reason, you cannot afford to pay for these medications.
I believe there are in the office to answer telephone calls from 9 to 5, monday through friday.
Hope this helps, many people are on fixed incomes, make minimum wage or out of work and can't afford their medication.

Like...lets say that someone put a bodily fluid in my ice cream...

and they had hiv...

Could I get it?

One of the websites I was looking at said that HIV can survive in environments of 54 degrees and lower without being in the human body...

Is this true?

Should I worry?
