i got my ears pierced 2 and half years ago, everything was normal until 2 months ago my ears started getting itchy. The area around the hole would become red and a yellowish liquid would start to form. Everytime I take the earings out, the liquid would form as scabs. So this cycle repeats many times. I tried rubbing alcohol and it didnt work. I dont understand why after more than 2 years this would happen. I still wear the still earings as before. So is this a bacteria infection or something? and how can I treat it? Im afraid if I dont wear my earings any longer the holes would close up.

I need to know if im depressed or not because i'm too scared to go see a doctor. I'm only fifteen and i have alot of problems on my plate, family wise, school wise, work wise and in particular problems with my mother and boyfriend. Everynight i seem to cry over them but then like last night at my mums bday party i was upset and felt like crying over nothing. I find it hard to fall asleep, breathe, i get constant headachesand blurry eyes. I have hurt myself alot of times, but it seems like it calms me down. I don't want to see anyone i just want to know if i have mild depression or something. I'm fifteen and its like i'm having a mental breakdown. Please, i need comments that will help me not ones that would make things harder on me, ie. abuse..
Thanks

I'm 16 years old, I sometimes drink 4/5 beers (cobra if your interested) when I'm alone or have a drink like wine at dinner once a week somtimes followed by sommthing stronger like a spirit, but not always. In fact I've actually had 4 cobra's right now, I was woundering would I have liver problems if I continue this way. Before you answer take these things into acount
I have never been drunk even when out with my friends, and I have never had a hangover in the morning, and considering my age I'm british so the legal age is 18 not 21 so I am closer to the legal age then you might think. I would really like an opinion based on fact, but feel free to judge me or make commments if you wish.

Right +0.50

Honestly, what is this called? I woke up this morning and brushed my teeth, when I got more toothpaste I realized that I had put facial foam on the tooth brush when I tasted it different. Two days ago when I went to make coffee I forgot to put the glass pot underneath. I tend to miss a lot of little things like that, specially in the morning. Is this normal or am I slowly loosing my mind?

You are a scientist, researching with a partner for a cure of cancer. You find out that you and only you have a special bone that can cure cancer, all you need is one sample of that bone, and you MAY be able to create millions of cures for ALL cancers. However, there is only a 20% rate that it will cure cancer. And if that bone is removed, you will die. Would you do it? why or why not?

I have got astigmatism and i recently got a trial pair from USA. And yes it was prescribed. Now when i tried it on, everything was blurry especially things that were far away. And it was moving while blinking. Do toric lens have to be fitted by the doctor the first time? I heard toric lens have special markings. Is there anything else that can be done coz i cant go back all the way to usa for that.

I am 16 and have been drinking very small amount since i was 14. About six months ago i went crazy and had i LOT (15 mixed shots of various spirits and 4 cans of beer) and was very very sick. I kept losing consciousness and my friends almost called an ambulance. I'll never drink that much again but now when i drink any amount, even a sip, i immediately feel like i want to throw up and my mouth produces a lot of saliva. What is happening and is it possible to build an intolerance to alcohol?

P.S. don't just tell me how bad underage drinking is please as i know its very unhealthy, but i don't do it much and i drink responsibly most of the time. I am genuinely worried about my health and i would like some productive advice please.
