Hi everyone,

I got my ears pierced for the first time six weeks ago, and I just removed the pirecing studs today. My earlobes look and feel normal (i.e. they aren't red, swollen or infected),but it feels like there is a hard lump of tissue surrounding each hole on the inside of my earlobe. The lumps don't interfere with putting my earrings in, and they're not painful. Does anyone know what these are? Are they simply scar tissue? Should I be concerned or will they go away on their own?

Some time ago I took my mother to the hospital for a severe nosebleed and they gave us this cool device, kind of like a padded plastic clothespin that clipped onto the end of her nose. But we lost it and can't figure out where to get another.
Thanks

(please read)
ok so my stomach has been feeling weird latley. well my lower and side abdomen area. you know how your nerves twitch sometimes like on your leg, are, finger or eye. It kinda something like that. But stronger voltage.haha it's hard to explain. It's been doing that for the past 2 days. This has never happened to me before. Even when I was eating it was doing that. It doesn't hurt. I don't feel no pain at all. It just moves not to the beat of my heart either. And it does it in diffferent areas at the same time.. I know it's the nerves. But it's just too weird to see my belly twitching like there's some parasite in me. could it be something else?

*I don't know about seeing a doctor just YET. Because it's not like im feeling any pain. or i've had any negative side effects of this.
I'd like some opinions first....thanks

I have hives pretty bad and benadryl is the only thing that seems to hold off the bad rashes & swelling... the Benadryl says consult a physician if taking for more then 24 hrs but I'm wondering if that's just precautionary. It's saturday, i'd rather wait til Monday to go to the dr. but I have to take the benadryl other wise i get very splotchy and swollen! So far it's the only thing that works.

At least on one other occasion this happen to me;the inside of my but cheeks suddenly become very itchy and very uncomfortable, the only thing I can do to relieve the itching is to wipe my butt. But does anyone know what's cuasing this itching and what if anything can I do to keep it from happening again?

Today I ate an apple, a few oatmeal raisin bars, and some nuts so far; is it something I'm eating or what?

I'd greatly appriciate an answer and solution for this problem?:-)

This happens when the temp goes below 50 degrees...even when I don't have a cold. It's not allergies, either..as far as I know, unless I'm allergic to the cold!! And I don't like having to take Sudofed when I'm not actually sick. Are there any homeopathic cures for this?? Thanks!

This might be in the wrong category, I don't know. If you think it is, tell me. Okay, me, I'm shy around new people still. And I'm not over other people's houses that much. I kinda hate being a guest in someone's home. And it makes me feel a little uneasy thinking about taking a shower in someone else's home, I don't know why. But if it's been a long enough time, you need to take a shower or something. You have to do what you have to do though. Answer the question and do not assume anything about me cause you do not know me. I am sometimes insecure about myself and I doubt myself sometimes, which I don't know why and wish I could be a little bit different, a little more secure.

I have had a very unwell feeling for the last two days. Fairly often I feel a something that i can only describe like a sharp 'dizzy' feeling or like a mild electric shock type feeling in my head.
I think it has something to do with alcohol abuse. I have been a acute everyday drinker for a few years now and I had stop drinking only in the last 2 or 3 days. Since then I have started to have this pain / discomfort.
Is there something more wrong or do i need to worry about this? I feel nausea as well and have been spitting up blood today.
Are these the symptom of acute alcohol withdrawel or something else? Apart from going to the Dr next week, what is the best thing I can do to feel a bit better?

I have been diagnosed with a staph infection. I have noticed also in the last 4 days I have been having to urinate MORE than once an hour, even waking in the night. I always go a lot. Today my urine turned a bright almost flourescent yellow/orange and I was wondering if staph could show itself in the body that way, or if purhaps I have a UTI or bladder/kidney infection as well? Any SERIOUS advice would be greatly appreciated.
