I have a very small red circle on my hip, slightly bigger than an pencil eraser head. It has been there a few days and I didn't really think anything of it until my husband saw it and told me it might be ringworm. It doesn't itch at all, and hasn't seemed to spread or change over the last few days.

I put some Tinactin (sp?) on a band aid and covered it up because it is right on my waist line where my pants will rub on it all day. Can anyone please tell me what else I should do? I didn't even know people got ringworm, I thought only dogs get it! :-/

My 6yr old has a rash on the back of both of his hands. I believe that it is caused by him wiping his nose while he is playing outside when it is cold. I am having him wash his hands often and am trying to get him to take tissues outside. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

And please, no perverse answers, please remember this is my little 6yr old boy we are talking about. - Thanks

I've given plasma for a few months now, however I just got my nose pierced they say its okay to give plasma as long as you explain to the nurse how its done. Assuming that it must be all new things coming out of packages. Needles, clamp, jewelry, gauze. My question is...has anyone else ever given plasma? Gotten a piercing and THEN given plasma? What did they ask?

I kinda poured boiling water straight from the stove on the top portion of my Hand. It's pretty much my whole hand, nothings left out...unfortunately. It happened a few minutes ago and it hurts like ****. Anything to worry about? like skin coming off or something? Can I just wait it put...because I hate going to a doctor..

Please post the age you were when you got your ear piece.
How does it feel? Does it hurt a lot?

Also, what do you think is the average age that kids now-a-days get drunk. Because my daughter has been constantly going to parties, and I ca't help but wonder if 15 year olds would have "drunk" parties.

It says "kills 99.9% of common germs" but that is kind of vague. Is it the same as soap and water? what are common germs?

The condition is exacerbated by wind and weather conditions. Last night I moisturized my hands well and slept in rubber gloves. It didn't hurt, but it didn't help much, either. Suggestions? Thanks! P.S. I have received such positive health advice from YA that I don't hesitate to ask now when a question arises. I don't substitute for med advice when necessary, but often someone in the know is all that's required. Again, Thanks!

the other day my friend and I were having lunch she began to
choke on a chicken bone.after quickly observing her got her to
keep coughing on her own.However that didn't work,I started to
use the Heimlich Maneuver on her with a few thrusts she started to
break wind as I compressed her stomach.Is this normal for when
the victim is choking? I don't recall reading about that one!

I feel like I have a splinter in my thumb, but I cannot find anything and it seems to come and go. Could a pinched nerve cause my finger to feel like it has a splinter in it?
