  • I have problems with acne?

    Skin Conditions - 15 hours ago

    Additional Details

    So I wash my face 2-3 times a day with spectro-gel, I went to the doctor twice before, fist time he gave me some tablets to swallow each day last year but they had very little effect, then he gave me an antibiotic cream to put on my face every night after i wash my face and I've been doing that for a few months and no results. Why isn't my acne going away or at least becoming less severe? (I have a lot of acne on my face, chest, back, on the arms above my elbow and a little recently on my legs above my knees). I don't each chocolate or greasy foods, and i don't touch my face often. What can I do???? Its really pissing me off. BTW: I'm certain its all acne and not chicken pox etc.

  • Large Cold Sore! What can I do to keep it from spreading?

    Skin Conditions - 19 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I have a very large and rather painful cold sore or fever blister on my lip... it just showed up out of no where yesterday morning and within a couple hours had grown to about the size of a penny :( it looks horribly nasty and I'm just terrified it will spread! I was using lip balm on it and now am wondering if I should throw it out? Can you pop a cold sore? or would that make it spread? I've been putting some abreva on it and I think it may be beginning to shrink! Should I just keep doing that?

    Sometimes when i go #2, I see a little bit of blood. I sometimes see it in my stool, but not enough that I was worried.Then, when I went last night, a lot more came out than usual. When I looked up my symptoms on the internet, it said I might have hemorrhoids. Don't only old people get that? Should I go to my doctor or wait a bit? Do I even have hemorrhoids?!?!?? (those are my only symptoms)

  • I woke up during surgery!?

    Other - General Health Care - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    I had breast augmentation surgery last wednesday and 2 hours into the surgery I woke up. There was about 10-15 minutes of surgery left and I woke up...I could feel everything she was doing and demanded to get more anesthesia right away. That helped numb me but they didn't put me to sleep. After wards I asked one of the nurses if it was normal that I woke up and she said "well...we just don't like to put our patients completely out/give them too much anesthesia" or something along those lines...I was still drowsy at the time. I just want to know if this is normal or if it's happened to anyone else? Honestly it was traumatizing...one of my fears going into surgery came true.
  • Can it be spread this way?

    Is i possible to contract genital herpes from saliva? i have a friend who uses her saliva as a lubricant to masturbate, and it seems she has an anxiety disorder towards it, as for the past few months she thinks she gave it to herself genitally. She's been bugging me about it on and off and seems to get random anxiety attacks. I don't think it can myself, but I'm not so sure. She didn't know what cold sores were at all and she had been getting them. When she found out, she stopped everything. she's asked a couple of doctors but they can;t give her a direct answer either. the just put it off as nothing and one encouraged it. 'm asking if you can spread your own hsv strain to other body parts with out knowing it? If that were true, wouldn't everyone have it. Sorry for so many questions, im kind of clueless. my friend btw is still a virgin, so i guess you can kind of guess how it feels to think you have an std from doing something like this. I want to understand this better.
  • Do guys like curves..............?

    Okay, I'm 15, and curvy, not fat, trust me, haha. Well, I get it a lot that I'm curvy and I have the perfect body from girls when I say "oh my god, I hate my body!", but I was wondering if guys really do like that? Because, I mean I've hooked up and done basically everything but sex, but I never know if guys are comfortable with the way I am. Is it just a preference thing or what?
