so on both corners of my mouth are these things i'm assuming are some sort of cold sores.

they're kind of crusty (gross, i know) and almost orange-ish... it looks like i just ate doritos or something. and they really hurt too.

i just put neosporin on them. i really want them gone though, like ASAP.

a. what could they be?
b. how can i get rid of them?

please help! oh and no, i haven't made out with anybody or anything.

thank youuu

hi all...i hurt my wrist about 3 weeks ago while skateboarding. I have a high pain tolerance, so I just let it go after wrapping it up for about a week. The pain went away but it started to hurt at random times...so I went an got an xray and they said that everything was fine by looking at it, but the doctor pinched my wrist at an angle and it made me wince...so he said i should go get an MRI. My dad is going to schedule an appointment for the MRI, and i hope nothing is wrong, but he said demobilizing it will heal it if it did crack, but if it's a low crack, only surgery will fix it....im devastated....i'm only 17, i dont need to deal with this crap. is this legit? any help?thanks

i wake up at 8am and im usually ok for the day after i have a big cup of coffee. Then i get home around 3 and i feel so tired i want to take a nap, so i usually fall asleep for an hour or two. But then, when its time to go to bed, around 11pm or midnight, im not quite tired enough and cant fall asleep easily.

what can i do to feel more awake throughout the day? How can i regulate my sleep schedule?

Almost 2 weeks ago I started having a cough...Its progressed since than into a really bad cough and sore throat. I've pretty much tried all of the over the counter meds as well as drank lots of tea, juice and water and taken vitamins. It still doesnt get better. Sometimes I cough so hard I have trouble breathing. Than today I started having a sharp pain on the left mid/upper side of my back. It hurts whenever I breathe and sometimes when I move. Is this serious enough to go see a doctor because I have no insurance and there are no free clinics where I live and my only choice is to go to the ER. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a cut on my leg that got sewage water in it when our basement flooded. It has been a week and it still is open. The cut is also red around the edges. Sometimes it really hurts, but mostly it itches. If it is infected, what should I do?

My back has been hurting me on and off for a couple months, but lately it's mostly been on. It's a sharp pain in my upper right back, but near the spine. It hurts when I am trying to sleep and also when i sit up. I thought it was due to slouching so I have been trying to sit up straight but it hasn't made my back feel any better. Do you know what the problem might be?

How is it fixed? Surgery?

A friend said this was the doctor's diagnosis so I'd just like to find out more!

After reading the insert the pharmacy gave me it says specifically NOT to mix the 2. I called the Pharmacy - who did not know I was taking Prozac because I get that at my Psychiatrist office and they said they werent sure but they do know it says not to mix the 2. I know I should be going by the Drug insert but my doctor said he wont write a script for Hydrocodone and I am in PAIN!!!!!!! Does anyone know why the 2 cannot be mixed?

I have pain in my right elbow only when I lean on it. I don't have any pain that goes down my forearm or wrist and I don't have any tingling or numbness in my hand. I also don't have any trouble lifting anything but when I lean on it whether it be a pillow or a hard service I get shooting pain that brings tears to my eyes. And today I even have some throbbing pain when I am not leaning on it but only in my elbow. Any suggestions as to what this might be? I thought it may be tennis elbow but every description of tennis elbow that I come across talks about pain going down the forearm that I don't have. Any suggestions will be helpful. :)
