I do cross country and last weekend was the end of the season. I am taking three weeks off from running before track season starts. Do you think I will be healed by that time?

I use an industrial barrier cream ever time I wash my hands. I have tried quite a few products I can buy from chemists with no results. Its as if my skin is thickening up in cold weather and when it should bend it's cracking.

Hi i just got my belly pierced about a week ago. It didn't hurt at all getting it done. Now days later it hurts like a sharp pain if it gets bumped and i really feel it under the skin and its bugging me. Also i have noticed that it is pink slightly swollen and a little hot to touch. Now i have the saline solution and have used qtip and cleaned around it. I even put hot compresses antibacterial spray, hydrogen peroxide gel, even a guaze with ointment on it. I have been taking ibuprofen every day now. Its like sometimes its pink and then it gets better, and then its back to being sore again. What am i doing wrong? Is this normal. I don't want to just give up on the piercing because it cost me almost 60.00. I got it done cause i thought it was sexy and my husband liked it lol. Now they did't put a ring in its a barbell with a stone. What should i do? Do i have the wrong type of barbell? I am not sure what to do or how long i have to have this pain. I don't even know if its normal. Help

Hi i think i might have this around my shoulder blade, My question is once it is healed and the symptoms of pain come back is it because it gets strained again or inflammed? Cause if its just pain from the inflammation I think id just rather suck up the pain and keep pumping and juicing away.

How harmful is it to get food coloring in your eye? I was trying to get some food coloring out of the bottle but the hole was clogged so I stuck a pin in it to open it up and it splashed out and got in my eye. And how long will my eye be blue?

9months old. He's teething. BM's are loose. Formula was changed... so I've temporarily changed him back to rule out the formula being the problem. Dr told me to mix hydrocortisone cream, triple antibiotic ointment, and balmex. Doesn't seem to work. Not using wipes, only water and soft baby cloths to cleanse. Would like short answers of things to try. Is in cloth diapers for now. Gets some "air" time too. What worked for you? Tenactin? Vaseline? Nothing at all? Please help. It's breaking my heart to see him hurt like this.

When waiting for someone/something, is it appropriate to do so while in the yoga squat? Is that inherently offensive to someone less flexible? I always attempt to do it discreetly. I would never do a pose/asana right next to someone. Unfortunately, after sitting in the car, I need the relief offered by the yoga squat (and forward bend). I have had surgery once on a herniated disc, and was recently told I must quit running because of my recurring back/neck pain. I find I have to do poses throughout the day to relief the constant pain.
Thank you.
