I have seriously 12 scars on my legs. I went the other day to buy scar removal lotion, but it costs too much for me to buy constantly for my legs. I was wondering if anyone knew a home remedy or something to help me with this issue.

I pierced my ear lobes. I think the lumps might just be scar tissue but im not sure. It makes it hard for me to get my earrings back in sometimes and it usually takes numerous painful attempts before the earrings eventually get back in. Should I be worried or will the lumps just go away over time. Does anyone know how long it takes to go away?

keep in mind that the government will pay for the schooling of all medical school graduates that stay in the feild of general practice, but upon transitioning to a speciality, that student would need to pay the government their medical school expenses.

I had a soccer tournament this weekend and while playing in a game on Saturday I was kicked pretty hard in the shin (right about the middle of my shin) it was really sore and painful to touch and so on but didn't really hurt when I ran. Then in our soccer game today i was kicked again in the same spot and now it hurts worse plus it hurts to walk. I have a big bruise where I got kicked and a bump is forming.
Could this be a fracture or anything that i need to worry about or is it just a bone bruise?
Thanks for any help!

After getting into bed, closing my eyes - I start to dream to try to get myself to sleep. I do what I like in my dreams, I can shape them to what I want to be doing - playing music, dancing, robbing a bank... etc. Then in the morning I am in a dream again... and when I realise I am in a dream, I can open my eyes and I am awake. I feel like I can exhaust myself just by dreaming, because my mind must be awake for me to be able to dream. I am sure I must be asleep at least some of the night, I'm just not sure how much of it. I do generally need a lot of sleep and feel tired a lot after having only 9 hours "sleep".

Yesterday I cut my finger with a bread knife and ended up having to go to A&E. The nurse sealed it with that medical glue stuff and closed it up with steristrips. She then put a thick pad on it and wrapped it up with a bandage and a stretchy sticky fabric bandage to keep the other bandage on. She said it should be safe to remove it next Saturday.

It's quite frankly driving me mad right now. It doesn't hurt but my skin is all irritated where the sticky stuff is in contact with my skin (I've had similar problems with medical tape too). I really want to take the damn thing off and let it air out for a while, but I'm pretty scared to as the cut was deep and it was bleeding very profusely, the last thing I want to do is end up getting it infected. I have a first aid kit with me that's full of all the stuff I need.

What do you suggest? That I just deal with it until it's ready to come off or that I try to change the bandage?

Thanks!

Sometimes it's too loud or not loud enough. I've started limiting it and listen on low but wondered what else could effect how loud it seems to me

Why does bruising seem to spread from the original site of injury? I had brain surgery 2 years ago and ended up with bruising right down my cheeks. Last week I had a bunion removed (and toe broken to reset I think), but the bruising extends all the way back to my heel. Why does this happen?

My left knee on the right side is KILLING me!! i just got over
tendonitis and i'm wondering if i should wear a brace again.
i am in taekwondo and i have practice tomorrow night and im going no matter what i just didnt know if a brace would relieve this pain. it hurts when i walk and jumping but how bad it hurts varies. Right now its in an ACE bandage but its not helping. oh and my brace for tendonitis was just like a strap for below the knee so should i get a full knee brace for all my knee?
thank you! =]]]
