I have a major skin problem and I always put on a moisterizer and then Maybelline's Dream matte mouse over it in an attempt to hide blemishes. I put a lot on to try to cover it up. Is this really bad? I don't know what to do. I would die if people saw my skin without makeup!! HELP!!!

I think Im either getting diabetic or arthritis. My hands and feet are getting a numb tingling feeling now and my thumbs hurt from time to time. Just below my left thumb was a little swollen and itching this morning when I got up and when I go to sleep at night my right hand always falls asleep and goes numb. I dont have any insurance to go to the doctor so Im going to try a natural approach. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure it's athlete's foot. I have been using Lamisil AT cream and a Lotrimin spray at the same time for about a week. Is that going to work, or should I use just one of them?

I had a break out of acne back in high school but I decided to do nothing about it for a year. That was a mistake. Shortly after that I decided to take care of my skin. Tried a lot of stuff and now my skin looks bad. What acne solutions would you recommend for acne and acne scars. I was thinking of pro-activ. Thanks.

When I'm run down, my body comes up in boils! It's really bad, but the doctors don't know what cause it. They get really swollen and painful, and in the end, no matter how often I clean them, they get really infected. I've had more than twenty of these in the last five years. I just had one on the front of my neck, and it's sure to scar. Does anyone else get these, and if so, does anything work to treat them? It's like I'm living on Flucloxacillin!

Part of my job is to clean restrooms. A friend recently told me that thin latex gloves that the company gives us may not be effective at keeping out germs. She said that low quality gloves may contain holes that are large enough to let germs through, but not really noticeable to the wearer. Should I buy my own reusable gloves or use the thin ones from the company?

I already use lotion. I've tried all different types and I've used the lotion specifically for feet on my feet. I also use the pumice stuff for my feet, too. It all helps, but only when I put lotion on/use the pumice stuff. Will the dryness ever go away where I won't have to use lotion so often? What causes such dryness?

My mother was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of Diffused B cell Lymphoma. I've already done a lot of research on the matter but I want to hear from anyone out there who knows or have known anyone with this illness. What problems did they face? What was the outcome of their treatment? What is the survival rate? I love my mother very much and I don't think I could make it without her. I hope her therapy goes well and she can beat this thing. Another question I have is how long before they were diagnosed? My mother was in and out of three hospitals and was even seeing a Cancer specialist for two years before she was offically diagnosed with it. No one knew what she had until last week and she went from a happy, independent woman to incoherant and unable to take care of herself in less than 2 weeks! Does anyone have any anwsers for me? Please?

Last night my husband made dinner (a mexican dish with beef, salsa, & onions) & we ate it with corn tortillas. I took a bite & it tasted okay, a little spicy but good. I finished my meal & I had eaten about a half of a cup of the mixture. Shortly thereafter, I felt extremely dizzy, nauseated, and had a major headache, and I felt lethargic. These symptoms lasted through the night and into this morning. My husband and two-year-old son also ate this meal and were fine.

Does this sound like food poisoning or something worse??

My first thought was food poisoning but my husband & I are having marital issues & have been contemplating divorce.

Any advice is appreciated.
I
