2 days ago, i started to put a toothpaste overnight. i did this because apparently it will make my lips pinker, but it turned out that my lips are getting darker like burn, and hurts and chapped and super super dry, help please..
View 3 RepliesIn the past few days my lips have swollen,burning,chapped, and a blister like look to them. I've recently made some changes in my diet like switching to almond milk, eating alot of blueberries, using monk fruit to sweeten my coffee instead of the artificial sweetners. Could any of these diet changes be causing my lips to be like this? It's very uncomfortable and looks horrible!!
View 1 RepliesI have this weird phase going on when I'm super hungry, but I don't want to eat anything. I have an appetite, I just don't want to eat. Sometimes I don't eat because I don't know what to eat. I'll eat small stuff, but I'll still be incredibly hungry. Any advice?

View 4 RepliesPerimenopausal or crazy? I am 42 years old & have never suffered from depression. Three years ago my family doctor prescribed Yaz. I thought I had lost my mind! Depressed, mopey, anxiety ridden you name it I felt it!! Doctor said here is some antidepressants & it will eventually leave your body. Fast forward to present for the last couple of months around period time I have been feeling super depressed. I cry about everything! I don't want to leave the house, talk to anyone & forget Facebook. I used to be a FB junkie now I go on & cry because everyone else is happy! Went to a ob/gyn she informed me I'm to young for hormone imbalance or menopause. Mind you both my mother & grandmother had a hysterectomies at 19 & 23. So what she was basing her theory that I was to young?? She prescribed me more birth control pills. Last thing I need! I took them for three weeks & of course around period time everything was 100% worse. I'm have two appointments with different ob/gyns hopefully someone can identify with my peri menopause & not just hand me birth control pills or antidepressants!
View 1 RepliesI'm 25 and have struggled with phimosis for most of my life. I had never been able to see my glans before as they were always covered. During an erection I still could not get them exposed and wearing a condom was just so painful so yes, still a virgin at 25.
Recently I went to the doctor and got circumcised to correct this. Its been 3 days now, still have the stitches there and the pain is ok (except for the occassional erection). My main problem is the glans..they are super sensitive,even passing a cloth there sends me to hell and back. And they are bright red in colour and swollen. How can I desensitize them?
I had a cut a week ago on my corner of my lips but they are now healed. Now, i have very dry lips that are rough. I have tried exfoliating and applying olive oil but they are still dry. The skin around my lips are also starting to flake.

View 1 RepliesSo I've had some itching for a few months, and back in March I was tested negative for STD's. I've noticed some itching again, some days worse than others and some days not at all, and on Tuesday I grabbed a mirror and saw these bumps and just about had a cow. Ive had 2 partners since March and neither of them have ever had an STD. Does this look like something I should be concerned about or is it just sensitive skin/ razor burn??? They're not painful whatsoever and I've never felt burning as if they had cracked open.
View 1 RepliesOn Friday night I had a weird red raised spot on my chest right where the underwire of my bra hit. Saturday the spot was bigger and felt like it was made up of four tiny "bubbles". Sunday the "bubbles" all seemed to be united with a fifth one joined in the group. These bubbles burn and are a little itchy. The week prior I thought I was having an allergic reaction to my laundry soap because my sides felt strangely itchy and tingly. I went to the Dr. on Monday and he diagnosed Shingles and put me on Valtrex. Tuesday(yesterday) I slept late, took a four hour nap and went to bed early. Today I am still beyond tired, but the rash has stopped spreading and remains a single "uni-bubble". I have had herpes simplex outbreaks on/off for years but haven't had an outbreak in years......the "uni-bubble" looks very much like the H-simplex bubbles.....but I haven't had the intense pain everyone talks about(thankfully!)......
I'm wondering, do I really have Shingles?
Im not sure whats going on with me but every time I lay down when it is not night time my eyes get water then start to burn. This has never ever happened to me before until recently I am 25 weeks but im not sure the extra water im consuming as well as food for the baby is the reason. Any suggestions?
View 1 RepliesAlright so I went to the dr two weeks previous to having sex with a new partner and I was clean. I had pretty rough sex with this new partner a week ago and the lubrication wasn't very effective it was pretty painful. then developed a chest cold a few days later which I thought was normal because everyone in my family had been sick at the time. Well a day or two ago (a week after intercourse)I noticed bumps near my vagina. Now I shave so I figured it to be razor bumps. But I also noticed something that looked like a tear at the entrance to my vagina and I assumed it to be from the rough intercourse. At any rate it's probably too soon to tell but there's only three small red bumps and no head to them. They aren't painful to touch but very itchy. The tear is both itchy and slightly painful. I'm headed to the doctor in the next few days because I'm simply freaking out, but if anyone could take a look and give me some advice for ease of mind that would be great.
View 1 RepliesTwo days ago I woke up and noticed that my clit hood was swollen. It does not burn or itch but it is just swollen. I'm not sure if its the soap that I am using that's causing an allergic reaction, yeast infection or over stimulation (masturbation). Do you know what I can do to get rid of my swollen clit hood?
View 1 RepliesTheres a few posts so I thought id share what ive learnt from gym instructors and PT sessions
if you consistently do cardio at the same pace you just burn carbs and sugar leaving you drained and not burning fat.
you need to burn fat - take,your heart rate up and down. If you cant manage jogging and sprinting then slow walk 3 mph, fast walk 5/6mph. This is commonly known as HIIT or interval training.
for 10x more fat burning there is metabolic training using weights. Im now just moving on to this.
There's loads you can do at home if confidence or finances don't allow you to go to a gym. Last june I was so unfit I struggled to walk my dogs. Im now jogging with them. I did forgo a holiday to pay for PT though but best thing I did. I know go to gym a good 5/6 times a wk and love it.
and remember muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. 1lb of muscle is the same as 1lb of fat.
Now i have a fairly painful burn on the head of my penis. It has some white layer looking type of thing on the burned area, its not red. I also burned my foreskin.
Does this stuff heal? If i wait it out should it be fine?
I have a small bump on my Meatus/outside tip of the urethra. It secretes a very, very small amount of clear fluid when I press on it. Doesn't hurt much (only when I squeeze it hard)... and when I urinate there is no pain.
Does this sound like a HSV blister or not?
I started to get this little burn feeling on the foreskin on my penis just under the head toward the left, there are no symptoms like redness, warts or burn while peeing, what could that be?

View 3 RepliesA year and three months ago I was taking pictures with my camera, and using an on camera flash. The brightness of the light did not bother me while I was taking pictures, or I would have lowered it. A few minutes later I started to get pain in my right eye, and then burning, soreness, throbbing, and then my eye began feeling like a rock. My eye felt this way for months. I did get to an optician a week or so later, and she checked my eye and said that it was just severe dry eye. She told me that she checked the surface, back and around my eye, but did not see anything. I have been to her three times since. At my last exam a month ago I was told my left eye got worse, but my right eye was fine...my eye still feels like a rock on most days, but it's also very sore and like I have something burning the inner corner. I am sensitive to bright light, and if I cover my left eye I can see that my right eye seems to be less clear overall. Everything seems darker, colors aren't as bright, and I can barely see any detail in my eye right. My left eye seems fine, and I can see clear. I was told to use eye drops daily. I have been for over a year. The only ones that work and didn't aggravate my eyes are the Systane gel drops. However, even they do not seem to be working anymore. At this point I am very scared, and I am trying to find an ophthalmologist under my insurance. I figure a real MD might know more. Anyone ever experience this or something similar. I feel like my vision has gotten so much worse in just a year, and the thought of it getting even worse so fast is horrifying.
