i dunno how to really explain it, but i got them like...2 days ago, and they're just getting worse.Like..at first i thought they were bug bites, but they're really small to be bug bites, and i have way tOo many of them. I was thinking i was allergic to something, some of them itch, but they're annoying to have EVERYWHERE...i have some on my legs, stomach, arms, hands, and lot on elbows...i just wanna know how to get rid of this??
Answer:
Hmmm. Only a dermatologist could say for sure.
It sounds like you're having an allergic reaction to SOMETHING.
Have you changed detergents? Bought a new outfit/sheets/etc. without washing them first? Sat on a couch at somone else's house? Tried a new food?Have you tried Benadryl? It should help with the itching!Good luck!
Sure they're not flea bites? Flea bites are really small. Go to a medical site online and see if you can find a picture that matches. Then go see a doctor!
They might be the chicken pox. You only get them once in a lifetime! They really itch. Go to the doctor!
sounds like chicken pox. to be sure you might want to see a doctor he can tell you for sure what they are. If they itch for the time being you can put calamine lotion on it. Check to see if you are running a fever its possible if you have a fever that its chicken pox. But to be sure see your doctor immediately
i think it is chicken pox because they itch. i suggest you google chicken pox and select image to see the pictures of chickenpox and know whether it is the same with your own

I have the flu?
do you think i should go consult a doctor?
Answer:
U should go
Of course.
YESAnytime you think you're not feeling well, go to the doctor.
at least call him - he may give you some TamiFlu (sp?)
nooo its just he flu
I think you should go to a pharmacist and ask for pills to get rid of the flu. You should also drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. If you have a sore throat just gargle salt water or drink honey and I think that should help.
sure ... what you waiting for?!
you can't say that you have the flu until you go to the Dr. and he says you have the flu! He will test you for it! He can give you medicine to help with all the symptoms!
Yes, you should certainly go out into public and expose yourself to as many people as possible. Your doctor probably doesn't use a telephone either, so going out into public would be your only option. And I bet you have no idea what to do either. You've probably never heard of getting tons of rest, fluids, and vitamin c. You should definitely put others at risk in order to be told the obvious.
No need. If you're confident that it's a flu virus, then treat it accordingly. But if you feel like it's getting worse in the next day or 2, then a trip to the MD is a good idea.
As the Flu is a virus there is little a doctor can do. They can trat the symptoms and or any secondary infections.
Go to a pharmacy and ask there advice.
Or else drink hot whiskey and lemon
no not unless you feel like you're just to weak to take care of yourself.
If you know it's the flu and have experienced it before (and who hasn't) just treat it the same way you always have. Take Aspirin to relieve aches and pains, drink plenty of fluids (avoid alcohol) and get abundant bed rest. If you have an accompanying fever, bundle up in bed and sweat it out, until the fever breaks.
Get well fast.
Unless you are under the age of 6 or over the age of 60 ride it out. Everyone gets the flu. People with serious problems need over worked doctors more than healthy flu sufferers.

I have terrible skin and my mom doesn't understand. help?
i have horrible acne and acne scars all over my face. my face is discolored and has dark areas all over. i also have tons of blackheads in my nose, and whiteheads on my cheeks and chin. and my face is so oily, i can wash my face and 5 min later it'll be oily again.it's wrecking my life. i feel so low. i don't feel normal. i would rather not be living. my mom won't even look into taking me to a dermatologist because she says its too expensive and we can't afford it. we can barely afford our rent.
i tried to tell my mom all the time how it's wrecking my life, but she keeps telling me it's all in my head and love my skin.HELLO! how can i love my skin when it's full of disgusting crap. i always look dirty and it sucks. i just want a fresh, smooth, clear, even toned, face.ugh this sucks!if you are reading this you're awesome. thanks for taking the time to read this and answer.i need help, advice big time.
Answer:
The teen years are horrible enough without acne aren't they, but it's something that everybody will or has been thru all because of hormones. It actually means you are growing up. Here is a great site that provides alot of tips and very important info that you need to remember and that are free. Sometimes things you don't think about unless someone tells you, and they also tell you what ingredients to look for in the products you buy and so on.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/acne.About your mom - you probably inherited your skin type from her, and I bet she went thru the same thing at your age. Ask her how she took care of her face at your age and was her's in as bad as yours. She may share some of her beauty secrets with you!An alternative to a dermatologist, which is expensive, is either your regular doctor or maybe even the health department or a low cost clinic in the area. After everything else is tried, just talk to your mom about this and ask if she can think of a low cost way for you to see any doctor about your skin. She might even be able to ask friends, family, or around work for suggestions on where to go in your area.
If she won't take you to a dermatologist, would she take you to a doctor for a course of anti-biotics?
I took my son and he was prescribed some medication which did the trick.
Okay, first you need to change your outlook. This is something you can work through and it's temporary, it's not worth wanting to die for. Secondly.. I know you see all these expensive treatments for acne.. but really... Buy a bar of Dial antibactierial soap. It's cheap.. and it works as well as the other stuff. Wash your face every morning and night with the Dial. Someone told me to try this and it WORKED for me. Good Luck!
You can still see a pediatrician or your family doctor. This should not be too costly. You may also try the website of web MD and look for some info by yourself.
My friend's son has a similar but much worse problem. He needs to take pills/ get shots to regulate his hormone to control his skin condition. Try to consult the professional and find the root of it. Usually it's not just the skin if it's very serious.
Besides, your mood may influence your hormone, thus your skin. So try to relax(I know it's hard). Try exercises. Drink plenty of water. Eat more veggie and fruit. Sleep enough at nighttime.
Regular cleaning is very important, too. You know, shower everyday, wash your face and all that. If you do not shampoo your hair regularly(at least every 2-3 days), the oil on your face would increase.
Last of all, but not the least, remember you are a precious existence, regardless of how you look. Focus on your talent and develop a healthy hobby (sports, writing, just to name a few) and culture your confidence. Many people actually grew out of their skin condition simply because the violent fluctuation of hormone level would finally come to an end when they reach 20 or so.
Buy some Tetradox and Benzamycin for your face. And wash your face with Av茅nne cleaning gel. It will cure your acne problem because I'm using those medicines too. And they're not too expensive, so you can afford it.Take a Tetradox after breakfast and after lunch (with a lot of water), and use Benzamycin every morning. Also, wash your face 2 times a day with Av茅nne ,it will cure your oily skin.Good luck with your acne problem.
apply lemon juice to your face about 5 times a day... in about 3 days you should see and feel a difference.

I have swollen lymph nodes on my face...how long does it take for them to go away?
Answer:
Here's a diagram of where your lymph nodes are located:
http://face-and-emotion.com/dataface/ana...... and, yes, there are some on your face, just below your ear and chin. If they are swollen for the most common reason, infection, they should be gone within a week or so.I have some that never go away and are hard and rubbery feeling. No known cause but they are always there.
There are no lymph nodes ON your face.
I hope whatever you have clears up soon.
Best wishes.
I have sugar everyday, is that bad?
like oatmeal tastes bland with out sugar and like my tea and stuff. is it too much?/? should i always try to use a little bit or try to use none at all?? i have already tried the suger replacements but doctor said that they're unhealthy and plus costly for me !!i just don't want diabeties and stuff
Answer:
Sugar does not, I repeat--does not!, cause diabetes. Genetics and overweight does. Because sugar is a carb, then a diabetic does have to watch how much they eat but they don't have to cut it out of their diet. Go to dlife.com for info. Professionals formed the site, they answer questions and they give true info.
If you don't use a lot of it, and dont have it in a lot of other foods, it won't hurt you.
diabeties runs throu my family but i have sugar everyday...
in my coffee which i have 1 suga..i have around 3cups a day
Well, to stay healthy, you want to avoid TOO much sugar, but also to stay healthy you need to have a reasonable amount of sugar each day. You must watch the sugar counts especially if diabetes runs in your family...
It's really all about balance... just educate yourself about the contents of prepackage foods %26 sugars in juices %26 so forth.
It's better to be PRO-Active rather the Re-Active to problems
caused by unhealthy food. Honestly, the more natural, uncooked foods, the better- the best to keep off the white stuff
sugar, flour, %26 sodiem, and you'll be doing your body good-
or atleast cut way down, use it to lightly season-only!
Maybe spreading out your sugar intake will help your situation. If I'm not mistaken, the problem you want to avoid is forcing your pancreas to produce lots of insulin to balance a high sugar level. If you eventually get pregnant, you will be give a glucose tolerance test and that will provide some information as to how your body handles sugar.
just try less sugar and in the morning if u eat oatmeal try cereal and you can have little sugar in tea but try 2 add lemon 2 it
eating too much sugar does NOT cause diabetes!! eating too much sugar will eventually make ya fat.and one of the main factors in developing TYPE 2 diabetes is being overweight

I have suffered severe bloodloss and my ferritin level is 6,what is normal?
I have a bowel condition which means i have constant bloodloss my ferritin is 6 and hb low what would be normal and what does this mean?
Answer:
i assume you mean its 6 ng/mL correct? okay well the normal for a male is about 12-300 ng/ml and females is about 12-150 ng/ml basically what this an indication of how much iron is stored in your body, it is usually past of an iron blood test workup, the most worrisome issue about low ferritin is that it means you have low iron, which can lead to anemia, for your hb (hemoglobin) being low, hemoglobin is basically just a protein in your blood that carries oxygen, the lower your hemoglobin the less oxygen you body can carry, normal levels of Hb for males are about 14 -17 gm/dL, and 12-15 gm/dL for females, low hemoglobin can also be a sign of anemia, hope that helps, Good luck : D
I think the ferritin levels should be about 12 on average which is classed as 'normal'. Isn't this linked in with iron intake also, so if you take the right medication it should boost it back up again over time.I don't know about the 'fix' for this, I'm just going on what I remember from watching a medial video a while ago!
At a doctors visit they can give you a test to see if your low. I once went to donate blood and was told I couldn't because I only had enough for myself. That had been like 2 days after my period. And I tend to bleed allot. They had done a small strip test with a dot of blood from my finger. I imagine since you are aware of your problem. You must see a doctor from time to time. Talk these worries over with your doctor. Do to your problem I imagine he must have you on some sort of medicine. Drink grape juice daily that is very good to recuperate loss blood. Now that I remember in order to donate I had to be at least a 12. So yes 6 is low.
Ferritin is a form of storage iron
the normal serum level is: 15-200 ng/mL (15-200 mg/L)
so your body does not have enough iron stored to make hemoglobin for red blood cells to transport oxygen
through your bodyThe normal iron content of the body is 3 to 4 grams. It exists in the following forms:Hemoglobin in circulating red cells 鈥?approximately 2 grams
Iron containing proteins, 400 mg
Iron bound to transferrin in plasma 鈥?3 to 7 mg
The remainder is storage iron in the form of ferritin or hemosiderin.Your doctor may have told you to take iron
it is best absorbed with acid substances like orange juice
vitron c is iron with vitamin c (ascorbic acid)iron absorption is blocked by tea or coffee so do not take your iron with these drinkswork with your doctor on this and get better soon
Normal Values of ferritin:
Male: 12-300 ng/mL
Female: 12-150 ng/mL
Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter
The lower the ferritin level, even within the "normal" range, the more likely it is that the patient does not have enough iron.
How to lower/raise: avoid or eat foods rich in iron: eggs, liver, red meat, soy products. Also cook or avoid cooking with a cast iron skillet.

I have sudden onset of visual disturbances?
They last about 6 seconds and there is no blurred vision but eveything is distorted.One episode lasted 13 seconds.I do not have any headaches with it but apart from migraine what could his be.I am waiting for an MRI scan and an appoitment with an opthamologist.Any one else experience this?
Answer:
doc plans mri to see if tumors causin the problems,,,visual disturbance occurs in ms,other motor neuron diseases,diabetes too,askem to draw blood check insulun,antibody content,search for nematodes
Check with your Doctor about Vertigo..
Can be many things. I am sure this is why you have been scheduled for an MRI. It may be your eyes, migraine, allergies, high or low glucose, tension headaches, and of course there are other things some more serious then others such as MS. But do not worry about it. Everything has a treatment and the MRI will help pin point the problem.
your test will; show whats wrong and i suspect nothing serious so dont worry you'll be ok Good Luck
3..could it be a problem with your vision. If you need glasses maybe some sort of eye strain. If not it could be to do with diabetes. Did you ask your doctor what he though it was likely to be or what they are looking for on the MRI maybe if you gave him a call he could help put your mind at rest. Good luck hop[e it turns out not to be anything serious.
