I have recurring abcesses under my arm antibiotics work for a short time need something that will work?


Answer:
It would depend on where the abscesses are occurring. Yes, I know you said under your arm. Can I assume you mean in the armpit? As I said, it depends. Are you abcessing in a sweat gland, a lymph gland? Are the abcesses in the skin without gland involvement? Perhaps you need to have an abcess cultured to find out the organism is. Most likely Staph. Speak to your doctor. Your doctor can advise you on the best course of action.
try using a different deodorant
Is your blood sugar under control? Diabetes makes you prone to infection and it prolongs wound healing. Check your blood sugar specially your HbA1C (your average blood sugar level) and if it's not within the controlled level it might be causing your recurrent infection. I think its best that you consult your doctor for proper medication.Good day!
I guess you will have to try and find out the underlying cause if they keep recurring.Do you shave under your arms? Do you get these at certain times of the month? (could be hormonal), are you run down? (could be lymph nodes).Have a chat with your doctor and see what he says.Good luck and by the way, sometimes these things just clear up on their own in the end.
Diabetics are more prone to all forms of bacterial infection as bacteria grow well if sugar levels are raised. If the problem continues the only other option may be surgical. A diamond of skin can be removed from your axilla on each side. The removes most of the glands, whose blockage leads to the infection.
Only support to offer I'm afraid, so poor you. Years ago I suffered with recurring underarm abcesses for at least 6 months. I used antibiotics when prescribed and finally poked and prodded about and got loads of gunk out (not that I suggest you do the same of course!). Now my underarm is pretty scared and feels hollow under my skin in places. At the time warm bathing helped to express the gunk out of the boil like thing. Sounds gross but the first time I lifted my arm to see why it hurt it popped all down the wall!It hurts like mad I remember. I was sure it was brought on my using a hair removal product in the frst place. I avoided shaving the area to until I no longer suffered episodes. Used quite a few strong pain killers too.Best of luck hope it all goes away soon for you

I have recently got out of the hospital with not so good news...help?!?

Okay, I got out of the hospital recently. I found out that I have blood clots in my lungs. the doctors put me on coumadin which is a blood thinner. I also found out that I have Lupus Anti-coagulant which means that I have a higher chance of getting clots because it is genetic. Does anyone out there know anyone on this medacine? I'm still young and cant do things I used to, how do you cope? I know things can be worse, I just wanna talk to someone who knows a bit of what I'm going through.
Answer:
I know exactly what you are going thru. I'm 37 years old and I was diagnosed when I was 20. I got a blood clot in my leg and the doc did not understand why I had a clot in my leg. They asked if I had bumped my leg or did something to it and I told them no. Then after I got out of the hospital for my DVT, I was sent to a Rheumatologist. At this time, this is when I got the horrible news that I had Lupus and Antiphosphilipid Syndrome which is the blood clotting disorder. I was devasted but fortunatly I had minor flare ups in my joints. Then I got pregnant with my first child at age 26 and I felt so good while I was pregnant. They had me take two shots daily of Heprin (blood thinner) in my stomach during the whole pregnancy. I was able to breastfeed after my pregnancy also. So all was good and then I got prego again in 98 and had my second child. Wow, what a miracle! The docs did not expect me to carry either baby to 40 weeks but I did and worked full time also. After my second baby though, I started to slow down and the Lupus was really hurting me more and more and making me soooooo tired. I struggled until the year 2000 when I had my first full body flareup where I could not even move my body and had to be put in the hospital. After that it has been rough since then. I worked full time untill 2005 when I had a subdural hematoma in my brain because of the blood thinners. Don't get me wrong, all this sounds scarey but you have to look around you and see that things happen all the time to people. People are diagnosed with something everyday and no one, No One in this world is guaranteed tomorrow. Just cause you have a disease does not mean you will die tomorrow or the next day. Some people don't even have a problem and get in a car wreck and die that day. Nobody knows what will happen in the future but to me, GOD has it all written out already and there is nothing that any of us can do about it. I do get depressed, scared where I can't sleep at night just looking at my kids wondering how they would do without me. It's just a strength that you really have to find deep inside you to help you thru those bad days. Like right now, I'm up at 12:07 at night and can't sleep because I going thru one of those depression things where you feel so scared and so out of control because you feel like you have no control of this stupid disease and it is so scarey. But you have to talk to yourself or someone to help calm your nerves down. I'm real scared, real scared about what news I'm going to hear next or where its attacking me next. But, the more I worry, the worst it hurts me because stress will trigger a flare so I try things to help calm my nerves. My friend introduced me to smoke some MJ to help calm my nerves and it does plus its supposed to be a immunsuppressive drug to slow down the antibodies.
I have found that cutting out beef helps reduce my flare-up and helps my stomach also. Do you know what your sed rate is? I hope this helps and if you need to talk at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. I truely understand.

I'm so sorry, dear. This is a lot to take in, I'm sure. I will be posting some sites to help. Some are informational, some are chat boards for patients like yourself. Hang in there and best wishes to you. http://www.lupus.org/newsite/index.html... http://dailystrength.org/support/muscles...
check under the search engine about how to deal with it. i do not know what u are going thru but i wil be ur friend thru this dogmicjoe@yahoo.com.
I am so sorry to hear about that, It does sound like you may have SLE (Lupus), pending some other blood test, and the meeting of some other critera, if they have not already done that. comadin, is a blood thinner, which can help thin present clots and help prevent new ones from forming. Lupus is an autoimmune disease which can attack any part of your body. I have it, and it has hit many areas of my body. It can run from mild to severe. There are periods of flares and remmissons, right now you are having a huge flare. In todays modern medicine world, there are so many ways to keep us alive, and barring the worst of flares keep us with a decent quality of life. In fact I had a bad flare and just got of IV Chemo, and Im doing ok, Ive had Lupus about 20 years, my journey was longer, getting a diagnosis in my situation and with my issues was much more difficult then then it would be now. The best think, and I hope you have it is family and friends who will be there for you. Outside support, online, face to face support groups, whatever you like better. I own an online group, and for many memeber it helps, the get to talk, gain information, vent, and even laugh. Here is some info from web md on the drugs basics:
This medication is used to treat blood clots and/or to prevent new clots from forming in your body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), heart valve replacement, and recent heart attack.Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but its more correct term is anticoagulant. It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in your blood.here is the 11 diagnostic critera for lupus from Yahoo health
Diagnostic criteria for lupus
The following criteria are used to distinguish lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) from other autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. A person with 4 of these 11 conditions can be diagnosed with lupus; 3 symptoms suggest that lupus is probably present, and 2 raise the possibility of lupus. Symptoms may be present all at once or appear in succession over a period of time. 1 Butterfly (malar) rash on cheeks
Rash on face, arms, neck, torso (discoid rash)
Skin rashes that result from exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light (photosensitivity)
Mouth or nasal ulcers, usually painless
Joint swelling, stiffness, pain involving two or more joints (arthritis)
Inflammation of the membranes surrounding the lungs (pleuritis) or heart (pericarditis). This inflammation is called serositis.
Abnormalities in urine, such as increased protein or clumps of red blood cells or kidney cells, called cell casts, in the urine
Nervous system problems, such as seizures or psychosis, without known cause
Problems with the blood, such as reduced numbers of red blood cells (anemia), platelets, or white blood cells
Positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test
Signs of increased autoimmunity (antibodies against normal tissue), as shown by laboratory tests Good luck, and Im sorry this happened to you

Hi,
I am so sorry. Many, many people take Coumadin. Did the doctor suggest using a procedure to capture the clots by going through a vein or not? Sometimes they can do that if they are in a reachable location. Just be still. Don't move a lot or get over active right now until the clots break up. This is a very serious problem. You need prayer. Do you have a church family to call to come support you? Find one in your area. Make a call or ask someone you know. You need people to love you and support you with prayer right now. You need God to heal you.

Blotting paper. There's all kinds of brands and they all work. You can carry them with you where ever you go and you don't have to worry about a shiny nose.
An oily skin , as the name implies, is one in which the sebaceous or oil-producing glands are over active. As surface grease tends to attract dirt, an oily skin acquires a dirty surface film , that needs to be removed daily. For more details log to http://useinfo-oilyskin.blogspot.com/...

I have really light thin eye brows!!?

is there any type of product to use to help me get thicker eye brows!! if so please help!! if not then how can i make them darker but natural!! WITHOUT drawing them in?
Answer:
go to a salon that offers eyebrow tinting services... most of them do when you first get them done they might look a little un natural to you but that is because the color change but they always turn out looking great
Well there isnt really any way to get them to seem darker sorry
Have you thought of cosmetic tattooing? I've seen some amazing results. I'm thinking about it myself because I have the same type of eyebrows. DON'T just go to any tattoo parlor. Do some research in your area (on internet ?) for specifically Cosmetic tattooing. I'd like to have my eyeliner done too.

I have really bad asthma and want to know any good inhalers or objects?

Hi,I have really bad asthma in the summer normlly and i have got but i use the same one again and again. What i use is easi-breathe. My friends and family who have asthma also have pillows ad stuff like that, but i dont know if they are expensive.If you know any thing that will help and te prise if you can rember please answer back. Thanksalot :D !
Answer:
If its worse in summer it could be linked to allergic rhinitis and a drug called montelukast would help
Mattress and pillow covers help as does vacumming your mattress
Combivent and Advair are the best. You'll need a prescipt if in the USA. If your overseas you can get it from a phamacy.
Ask your doc if you can be prescribed Spiriva. Each dosage works for 24 hours.
That's an incredibly in depth question to ask with very little detail.
Easi-Breath...... there's a variety of those around. If you're referring to a 'reliever' then it doesn't matter how many times you're using it. Relievers will only ease the symptoms and do little or nothing for the underlying cause. You need to get on top of the cause and treat any underlying inflamation.
Go and make an appointment with your local surgery. Ask if they have a Nurse Specialist and get your asthma under control. You need to have a detailed discussion with someone who knows what they're doing.
I HAD cronic asthma I talked to my doctor and he put me on advair diskus and my asthma is GONE!!. and as soon as I don't take it I have trouble. trust me this stuff is very good!

I have really bad allergies which causes headaches and...?

the past two days it has been really bad and now my lymph nodes under my left arm are swollen and hurting bad when i put my arm down does anyone know if this is because of the allergies? im really worried :[
Answer:
Hi CY2Here are some ideas on how to heal the issue. You also need to learn about cleansing the body of toxins by doing a colon and liver cleanse to heal for long term.Cause of Allergies
Overall, the underlying causes of allergy and sensitivity are dietary and lifestyle factors specifically titled as imbalanced immune function, barrier function default (such as "leaky gut" syndrome), and toxic overload. Each of these are, in varying degrees, responsible for the development and continuation of allergy and sensitivity.
Herbal Medicine: There are a variety of herbs that offer relief from allergies, such as goldenseal, red sage, and goldenrod. To reduce mucus, try astringents such as yarrow and myrrh (Commiphora myrrha). These help to contract inflamed tissues and reduce secretions and discharges. To strengthen immune response use echinacea, astragalus root, goldenseal root, and Pfaffia paniculata (suma or Brazilian ginseng). These herbs can be effective and safe for treating weakened immune systems.
Eating raw Garlic and Onions will provide relief as well. The more you use the faster the relief will come.Cayenne pepper is a favorite herb among those treating allergy patients. The active ingredient is a strong anti-inflammatory, and it is recommend to allergy suffers, including asthma patients, as a simple and effective treatment. Sprinkling liberal amounts of the pepper on meals for a few days can provide relief. Or better yet eat them raw and sweat for a few minutes. Watch your sinus clear up quickly.Although herbal remedies have shown excellent results in reducing allergy/sensitivity symptoms, using herbs to treat allergies involves an individual approach. Some particularly effective anti-inflammatory herbs are stinging nettle, Ginkgo biloba, and licorice. Chinese skullcap, ephedra, and feverfew are others to consider for treating allergy symptoms. Patients whose conditions are severe should consult with a trained herbalist or naturopath. A major symptom of allergies is gastrointestinal upset, including bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Demulcent herbs can alleviate these symptoms (demulcent is a term used by herbalists to describe an herb that has a protective effect on the mucous membranes by minimizing irritation). The most commonly used herbs are marshmallow, slippery elm bark, cabbage juice, okra, fenugreek, and aloe vera. Homeopathy: Homeopathy has widespread applications for the treatment of allergies. In many situations, minute diluted doses of the substance a person is allergic to can be prepared as a homeopathic solution that triggers the body`s natural ability to heal itself. Homeopathic remedies are best prescribed by a competent homeopath. Self-diagnosis is discouraged due to the variety of factors that must be considered before the appropriate treatment is selected. However, the following remedies can be helpful: Ferrum phos, lycopodium, and silica.Juice Therapy: A juice fast of organic vegetable juices for 2-3 weeks can help detoxify the body, thus improving its ability to cope with allergies. Two useful juice combinations for this purpose are beet, carrot, and cucumber; and carrot and celery. For added benefit, add a small piece of ginger root to either juice combination. Best of health to you
I agree with first answer. I also recommend learning to sing. This is because it will resonate through your sinsus cavities if you sing correctly and will will lift your spirits. I had algrgies and after I became a singer I was no longer bothered with the symptoms. Your lymph nodes are trying to tell you something so I also reccomend first off seeing a doctor.
alot of allergies are caused by candida (yeast) in the body... are you eating something that you generally don't eat that could have mold/ fungus... or are you craving a lot of sugar and carbs? if so you might wanna take a yeast cleanse and follow a candida diet...renew life has good cleanses and as for the diet... eat plenty of veggies, lean meat, almond nut butter,almond milk, ezekiel bread and cereals, brown rice, millet...etc.

I have realized that in most of my friend's picture the center ball of her eyes are red not black.?

thise for the passt six years that her pictures the eyes are completly red where is sopouse to be black.is something rongh with her?
Answer:
This is from the flash being reflected by the inside of the eye. it is very common and has nothing to do with any medical condition whatsoever.
It's the camera and the film not her eye...don't you know that?
no/ the / red eye thing/ will/ remove it
This is a reflection of the camera flash off of a structure in the eye called the tapteum lucidum.
Shine a light into a dog's eyes to see the same thing; it'll be red or green. You might get bit.
it sounds like they just have red eye from the flash of the camera. if you have a digital camera you can take that off the pictures. there is also a pen you can buy that will take the red eye off pictures that you have had developed.
