I sliced my the pad of my pinky finger about 18 hours ago. It finally stopped bleeding but the cut doesn't want to stay closed. Can I get stitches now? I'm afraid if I just butterfly it that it will take longer to heal.

the tip of my penis, by the hole, was bleeding....why and what should i do without telling my parents. im 16. please help. i was getting undressed and i saw blood in m underwear. then i saw it was bleeding.

its not a huge cut, its more like a little scrape on the inside edge of the hole. i went to the bathroom and it didnt sting and its not really bleeding...its just very uncomfortable and a little tingly. should i take a shower and wash it out? or what should i do?

Also, how long will it take to heal

i heard somewhere that you can cut yourself with a stray piece of hair... im wondering if a piece of hair got in there then when i pulled it out, it cut it.

I got the strangest letter in the mail earlier. It was addressed supposedly by a government office, saying that I got some type of refund for $25 from international transactions in 2006. It seemed very odd to me, since I've never seen anything like that before, so I threw it away. I didn't think to wash my hands right afterwards and went back to typing. I absent-mindedly started chewing on one of my fingers and then realized I never washed my hands. My tongue feels like it is mildly burning along both edges now, I'm salivating more now, and my throat feels funny (not like it's closing up or anything though). There's also a weird taste in my mouth now, almost like soap. I tried both eating and drinking and I'm still experiencing it. I have an ex I broke up with a few months ago who basically thinks I'm satan that has an uncle who works in the FBI, supposedly, so now I'm really paranoid that maybe it was a set-up and perhaps I've been poisoned? Please help! Is it just my anxiety or what?

Right eye lid swollen, I think it is pink eye. Can anyone give me information on how to deal with this, without going to the doctor, as I don't have the money to go to one. Your help will be very helpful.

it looks like a spider bite,
but im not sure.
its red all around the bite, and the bite its self is purple-ish.
I can pop it only a little, and the swelling will go down,
but then it will come back.
and theres a black dot in the middle.
if i look in the bite whole that the puss comes out of, it looks like a black ball.
and its on the top of my left arm,
everytime I put my hand down, to my side..
my hand gets numb and starts to hurt.
I have one on the inside of my right leg too, and my right eye is swelling up, and they both also hurt baaaaaaaaad.
so what should i do and what could this be?

I was trying to clean it with a napkin, and the knife sliced through it and cut my finger. I'm not quite sure how far it went, but the knife was an unserrated fruit knife. When I came on YA for some advice on how to keep it from getting infected, I read a question about someone who had cut their finger with a knife and couldn't feel anything in that finger anymore. Now I'm freaked out. My cut throbbed for a few minutes, and there wasn't much blood. It doesn't even hurt anymore, but I'm wondering if I should still get it checked out. Ideas?

Hello everyone I was told that you could use hydrogen peroxide to clean wax build up out of your ears. I was also told that if you had a ear infection to use it also. Have any of you ever heard of this and if you have is it true? Can I also use it for my children?

I want to know if after stitches are removed you have to still rest and make sure they split or anything like that. Meaning can you the next day go and play basketball or something.

I used the cream today and left it on for maybe 5-7 minutes because it takes longer on me. Now my legs are red and burn really bad. Lotion stings and they can't be touched. Wearing pants even hurts. If you know what will help please let me know.

I hurt my foot jumping out the back of the bus on bus evac day.

I landed wrong on my foot, and it turned purple and so did my pinky toe. The pain has been horrible.

My parents won't take me to the doctor because they say the school only said that to cover their asses.

I know it is not broken because I can bear weight and bend it forward.

I have been icing and heating it and taking anti inflamatorys. .

Anything you think it could be?
