First Aid

I don't have insurance. I don't have a first aid kit either so I used some duct tape and a napkin to stop the bleeding. My fingers are sore and purple, but the bleeding stopped. How often do I have to change the tape so I don't get an std?

On a fire hydrent, they have that stick thing, to make it more visable. Well I touched one well riding by on my bike. We've been soaking it in espeon salt and hot water. It hurts bad when I move my finger and/ or touch it on or with something.
If you look at your fingers, there's like 3 parts, the slivers on the bottom part.
Can someone please tell me how to get it out?!?!

My email is breyer03(at)yahoo(dot)com

My mother-in-law, who is 87, lives with us. Sometimes our commitments force us to be away for hours at a time. I would like to know what's out there that she could use that would be an emergency life-line - something like "The Pendant." Is there anything better? Something could detect a problem - say, a fall, etc. - without her having to take any action?
She has 99% of her marbles ... but just in case!

2 days ago I woke up with a 103 temperature, sore muscles, and really out of it. Well yesterday I happend to look at my back in the mirror and seen this huge red rashy mark (it was swollen) on my back, and you could see bite marks (like 2 little holes) and there was something sticking out of it (like a black stinger). I do not remember being biten or stung by anything. I'm assuming it happend in my sleep. Now today my muscles are still VERY sore(especially my thigh and buttocks) and the mark is still very much there and does not look like it is going away. Do you think it is anything serious, should I call my doctor or wait and see what happens?Thanks for listening :)

I burned my arm last night when I accidentally bumped into an iron. The skin turned waxy at first and then it progressively got worse. Now, the very middle has risen up and looks like a blister filled with pus and the skin immediately around it is darker in color...almost leathery looking. I don't know what to do and I don't even know what degree burn it is. It's just on my arm and its such a little burn but I don't want it to scar and I want to take care of it.

Help me stop the scratching!!! I have about 30 on my right leg and about 27 on my left. I was out in the garden picking some weeds, and I came in the house with red spots all over my legs. The next day, they turned into bug bites, and they itch terribly! Do you know what bug they could be from? And how do I ease the itching? Oh. The bug is not a mosquito because we dont have them where I live. They are some little bug I guess. Thanks for the help!!!

I was walking on the beach on a hot day and i had shoes on that were way too small and i got a blister. The blister got sand in it, and now it's infected. Plus i accidently put liquid bandaid on it. I guess it didnt help that i had to carry a 10 pound bag and walked a mile and a half to get to the other side of the beach. I just moved and i don't have health insurance to see the doctor. If you can tell me how to sooth the pain or how to help get rid of it that would be a great help!!!

For years .. everytime I would get bit by any bug the little bite would swell up from the size of a pimple, to a dime, to a quarter, and at sometimes the size of the palm of my hand. By the next day, however, the swelling goes away. I even got bit on my eyelid yesterday and it was so swelled up , I couldnt open my eye until this morning. Is this reaction normal? Should I be worried about it?
