I just removed a very small tick from me. After removing it, I have discovered that it left a small purple dot right where it bit. Should I be concerned?

I accidentally cut my finger this morning and I covered it up with a band aid. It was about 9:00 AM. I have been changing band aids all day and it hasn't stopped. Its not a straight cut, its sorta curved and it peeled back a good section of skin. The cut is on my index finger near the cuticle bed (or whatever its called - near my finger nail). Band aids aren't stopping it. Its slowly healing but still bleeding. I see blood through my band aid.

My ears have been pierced for about 2 months now. Yesterday night one of my stud fell out of my ear, and when i tried to put it back in it wouldn't go in. When i poked it in hard it hurt. Theres a bit of crust around the hole and its all pink now. I tried poking the other way, but that didn't work either. I tried squeezing it, but nothing came out and nothing happened.

What should i do??!

I was out in the sun too long lying on a lilo and got sunburnt all over my tummy. I'm like a pink pig. I am embarrassed to go to the beach now and want a quick way to get rid of the redness. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards

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?

i got a 2nd hole in both ears about 3 weeks ago. yesterday mid day the back of the stud in my left ear REALLY started hurting and was sore to the touch i went home and twisted it and used the cleaning solution claires provided (i always do twice a day) and green stuff was on the cotton ball. my mom looked and said it was infected so last night i used some hydrogen peroxide and then later i went to bed. it was SO sore i couldnt lay on that side i almost cried it hurt so bad. this morning i put some peroxide on it felt better...no more green gunk. but i just put some more on and i did at 4:00 but when i put it on it like bubbles around the back....

how long will it take for this to heal??
any advice??

THANKS

I gave CPR (15 compressions/2 breaths, per dispatcher) for approximately 20 minutes, on my own, prior to the arrival of EMT/Paramedics last Wednesday morning. I'm not in great physical shape and my feet are cramping, back aches, leg muscles, arms and hands are all aching. I am not sure if the aches I'm continuing to feel are normal after giving CPR for that long (for someone who's as out of shape as I am) or if it's a physical response to grief. Any info would be appreciated.
