Diseases & Conditions - 5 December 2007

Hello, My name is Mackenziee and i am 15 years old and i was just a little concerned about a few things!! I know that i shold talk to my mom and my doctor but sometimes asking a strager is a lil easier!! Anyway to the point..... The past few months i have noticed small bruises all over my legs and my arms that i haven't a clue how they got there!! I don't feel sick or anything just been a little tired lately! Should i be concerned about this or is it nothing!! I am not really a fan of going to the doctor I don't really like needles so i keep telling myself that it is nothing!! I know I am being a baby!!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!

I had an ingrown eyebrow that turned into a pimple. It is now a huge crater and is not healing very well. The scab keeps coming off and I am afraid I am going to get a nasty scar between my eyes. Any thoughts?

Alright, so i had some minor, and very minor acne on my chin before football season started. After a while obviously after getting hit in the chin a lot my acne started getting HUGE, im so embarressed, and i mean huge like tons all over my chin and huge huge huge huge. Also because of the infection my lymph nodes are huge now and staying inflamed. Since football is over now they have calmed down a bit, and have gone down after using clindagel for a while that i got from my doctor. I went to a dermetologist 2 days ago and now im on Retin-A MICRO, and taking 2 Minocycline tablets a day. So my problem is im going on a cruise in 2 weeks and i really want this gone. Is there any way i can get it gone by then? any on treatments? is this good enough? please help me!! (Also my lymph nodes started getting sore again after the first day of my new treatments, is that normal?) please answer all these i really want to know them and i was kind of embarressed to ask my doctor all these.
THANKS!

If I am interested in getting some acne medication for moderate/severe acne, would I need to go to a dermatologist, or can I just go through my primary doctor? Thanks guys!

Hi guys, I am 22 and have had mild/moderate acne for a few years now. I also have fairly dry skin. I wash my face twice a day, morning and night, with cetaphil cleanser and put on aveeno moisturizer. I also have alot of fainter red spots from previous acne that stays for months afterwards. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to solve this problem. I am not trying proactive or acne free or accutane. I am looking more so for over the counter products as my acne is not serious. I tried Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash and it tore up my face making it EXTREMELY dry, red and flaky. Any input would be very much appreciated.

This is so gross and embarrassing, but I think I have ringworm. It is on my chin. I just bought some antifungal cream.

In general is it better to cover it with a bandage or let it open to the air? I'm not sure if it matters or not, but it is currently not dry. If it is better to let it air out, would it do more damage to cover it up (when I go out in public, because it looks disgusting)?

It's hurting me so bad under my lip if I touch it, it burns. There's no white head or puss in it to pop it. My mom said to put hot compresses on it, I used the shower but nothing happened, it's still there. Any help?

I am a 15 year old male. I have never had sex before or anything. For a while now, I have had bumps that come on around my penis and that last up to 2 days and then they go away on their own I suppose. They kind of look like pimples. It hasn't happened that many times but when it does it is only one or two bumps at a time that happen. They don't itch or anything because I never have touched them. Could this come from masturbation? I hope it isn't HPV or something bad.

I have checked on the web for information on if the specimen floats or sinks...the information was too medical and technical...For the most part, it appears that there is a more likely chance that it is malignant if it floats...anyone know??? Docs, Nurses, Lab Techs??? Please.

So about a week or so ago, I got sick after eating Japanese food. I think I am allergic to MSG, but who knows. Well anyways ever since then, just above and just to the left of my bellybutton, theres this funny feeling I get a couple of times a day. The only way to describe it is like my organs are untying themselves. It doesn't hurt in anyway, but it does make me wonder what heck is going on. Its in the same spot every time. Anyone have a clue? and I don't know if the whole Japanese food is intertwined with this feeling, but I started feeling this way when I started getting sick after that meal.

I am scared because I'm 100% sure that I slept with someone who was postive. He didn't tell me but I have this feeling.. I was so suspicious but I was dumb enough to do it. I had vaginal sex with him Ibut I swear I used all the condoms I had with him. I'm so scared because I don;t understand how I can still contract it with a condom. A couple months later I got two cankor sores within three weeks. I felt a llitle bit tired and a headache. I had a late period. I didn't really have flu-like symptoms but it could have beenmild. I felt like I was getting my period but I'm still unsure. It's been bothering me for months and I'm soo scared. I've been having anxiety attacks and I can't even sleep. WHat should I do?

I have a oxycontin addiction, and Tomorrorw im going to go to a methadone clinic near me. I have Insurance, but I am broke as A joke. Is methadone a lot of money to detox with? I don't know how it works in A clinic. I'm going to Be a outpatient, and I just need to know if they can still help me, considering I don't have much money.

Do you need to pay A lot at methadone clinics?
