Chickenpox? Rashes And Blisters For About 3-4 Days
My younger sister, aged 13, is suffering from what possibly looks like Chicken Pox. She has had rashes and blisters for about 3-4 days now. The rashes are prominently on the face, some of them are on the arms, torso, and waist area. She also has fever, bodyache, and physical weakness. I have not consulted a doctor yet due to certain religious beliefs of my family, related to this disease. Is it Chicken Pox or something else?

View 2 RepliesInsect Bites :: Bite Blisters And New Blisters Form Around It Days Later
What kind of illness or insect could cause small insect bites to blister on the bite site? After being bitten a blister appears on the skin at the site of the bite after a couple of days, followed by new blisters forming around this bite site a further few days later. Skin appears red and site is painful, blisters are about 1cm in diameter and half a cm in height, newly formed blisters appear much smaller. This insect bite would have been contracted in a central American country such as Guatemala.

View 1 RepliesEye :: Floaters That Turned Into PVD
I would like to know if anyone else (and I know there are many) who have floaters that turned into PVD. Mine started on Oct.2011 with small black dots in left eye. From there it got worse and having to see a Ophthalmologist for the first time and her sending me off to see a Glaucoma specialist with out giving me any information scared. The glaucoma specialist said everything looks fine come back in 2-3 yrs. Well I was hoping all would get better with the floater situation, but it gradually got worse. When I look back I realize the floaters weren't so bad, but it was not being educated in what they were didn't help and only led me to becoming very anxious and eventually depressed. It has been 3 years now, the floaters got worse and affected my right eye too. My left eye had crystal worm like floater that would get right in the center of my eye. All in all I went through a year of this. Went to a neuro-opthamologist and a retinal specialist. I finally had a vitrectomy in my left eye and 3 months later had to have cataract surgery. (Prior to this, I would see afterimages, which caused more anxiety. Became light sensitive.) The cataract surgery had some after-affects. I became more far-sighted which has caused a diopter difference between the two eyes and the cataract eye also has dysphotopsia, where I see the edge of the IOL. Again on top of all this I am very sensitive to light, see spots if something is glaring off an object.
View 1 RepliesHip Replacement :: Turned Onto Side In Bed
I am just over 4 weeks PO and desperate to stop sleeping on my back. This morning I really felt like I could move onto my (non operated) side, so I did and it felt great! The ache from my lower back was still there but it felt so good to be in a more natural position for me. I folded over a pillow and wedged it between my knees and calves. I only stayed in this position for about 5 mins or so as I am conscious of my post op advice of waiting until the 6 week marker had passed. Nice to know that the temporary option is there for when my back ache gets too much, though.
View 23 RepliesAcid Reflux :: My GERD Turned Into Anxiety
As much as I hate to admit it, my GERD has created an unbearable amount of anxiety. I thought going off PPIs was the right way to go and supplements helping, but my stomach issues only got worse.
I read about the link between the stomach and heart through the vagus nerve, but didn't think much of it. Last week, almost daily, stomach burning would cause my heart to beat faster which would send me in a panic. One evening, I got so scared I checked my BP which was 161/126. I promptly went to the ER. It was found to be two things, a panic attack and a faulty reading. My BP was high but my monitor was off a bit.
I am now back on Prevacid for my stomach, and Celexa for anxiety with xanax as a backup for immediate response until the Celexa kicks in.
I wanted to post this because I find a lot of people, myself included, fight a lot of our symptoms out of fear of what medication may possibly do to us, when in fact they may be exactly what we need to heal. Personally, my fear of PPI's made me give up way too soon, which created additional issues. I think its important for people to research and learn as much as possible about whats happening to their bodies, but its equally important to work closely with their physicians in finding a solution before self medicating or quitting a med out of fear.

I'm a 13 yr. girl and for no reason at all I will start to feel extremly aroused I can't even pay attention in class because while I'm paying attention to the Teacher I'll suddenly wonder what color bra she's wearing or what it would feel like to be with her, my friend had a strapless dress on the other day and I was mentally cursing myself out for not getting a picture. It's like for no reason at all, just watch t.v when one of my friends pops into my mind. Ive tried masterbating though I can never make myself cum. And besides that there no place the bathrooms don't have locks and I share a room with my 17yr old brother 11yr. old sister and my dog. Me and my sister and dog all share a bed plus My cousin and his dog like to come into my room. So what should I do? I cant even look my teacher and some of my friends in the face anymore.

View 6 RepliesTight Foreskin - Fungal Infection Turned Into Balanitis
I recently had balanitis caused by a fungal infection. The doctor reckons it came on because I'd been on a strong course of antibiotics for something unrelated which had weakened my immune system a few weeks earlier... I was prescribed an antifungal and steroid cream to apply twice a day and told to continue applying it for a few days after the symptoms had gone away.
Now that I appear to be balanitis free I've been left with a tight foreskin. It only started to become a problem a few days into treatment and made it hard to apply the cream underneath the foreskin and to the glands.
Before I had balanitis my foreskin was completely normal functioning.
I can still retract it over the glans now but with some difficulty. It is effecting my ability to achieve a full erection.
Is this something that will go away gradually by itself? Or do I require further treatment?

View 1 RepliesPenis Disorders :: Male Yeast Infection - Turned Into Balanitis
I had unprotected sex with my Ex GF years ago. Well she happen to have a yeast infection.
Well as you know i got a male yeast infection. My symptoms were typical.I had itching, pain, redness, and hurt to pee. Well I was given one pill, a powder, a cream and sent on my way.
Well I had a rash at the tip of the penis. I still cannot get rid of the rash. I have tried TONS of different creams with no luck. Some actually cause more inflammation.
Well i have tried many home remedies with no luck as well.
My next plan is to go to a Dermatologist.
Just on a side note. At the time i was not circumcised. Then i went to a Urologist who suggested to get cut. So i did. But the rash did not go away.
From the research i have done I'm sure it is Balanitis.
Blisters On And Around Vagina After Dry Sex?
I'm really worried because I had sex for the first time 6 days ago and it was quite painful as it was pretty dry & the next day my vagina was really sore and it would hurt to wipe or sit down. I was concerned so I grabbed a mirror and had a look and i could see about 3 tears and redness. I just dealt with it for about 2 days when it got more painful with extreme itching and burning sensation when urinating, so i took another look and there was maybe 3 blisters i could see and it stung to touch them. today there is maybe like 5 or so and they are yellow on top and hard to the touch. i have clear/milky white odourless discharge. im convinced its either a yeast infection or herpes. oh and ill add that about 3 days before i had sex I washed myself with vagisil for the first time & it felt like i had a chemical burn down there., but if anyone has anything to help or that would be amazing please!
View 2 RepliesUndiagnosed Blisters Around Vagina
I have been suffering from painful pus filled blisters around my vagina for last 3 years! It is like a cycle, the skin gets hard, a small blister appears, it turns bigger, swollen, red, itchy and after 5 or so days, it would burst and slowly, the pus and blood would drain causing me enough discomfort to lie down (i cant even sit, forget about walking) for weeks at a time.
I have been tested for Herpes and been told several times its not that. I use Clotrimazole regularly but it does nothing much.
Last week I had this blister develop right on the left vulva and it became big enough to look like a cyst, extremely painful...No amount of pain killers was helping and my GP advised it is vulval abscess and needs to be drained by a GYN. I went to the hospital and the next morning the freak doctor cut me open without any general or local anesthesia at all!I died with pain!!!
I am home now and the pus it still leaking, the wound has not dried yet completely.
The doctors said it is not bartholin cyst, but I don't know what the hell it was and why does it keep recurring...
I have been taking oxytetracycline for almost 3 years now, took fluconazole for 1 year and I am also on thyroxine since last 5 yrs...
If anyone has any idea about what this is and why this might be happening, please let me know.
About the sexual history thing...I have never had intercourse with a stranger..only 2 men in my entire life, both were serious when it happened.In fact since I am always in pain, sex is the last thing on my mind. I am always sitting, so I don't exercise, and my body shape has grown 3 sizes since I do not move.
Got Blisters On My Vagina After Shave
I shaved and I thought it felt different shaving this time (I usually always shave) and that night I could barely sleep because I was in so much pain and then the next day and since then I've had blisters appearing on my vagina that hurt so much I can barely sleep or walk and I'll have sharp shooting pains, I've honestly never experienced this much pain in my life. I have a boyfriend and I asked him about it he's the only guy I've ever slept with and he hasn't slept with any other girls and when I got with him he got tested and was clear so it can't be an sti surely?
View 7 RepliesChickenpox :: Age 37
Ive just caught it off my two young daughters (who both still have it). I paid to have a private jab £125 to vaccinate me against chicken pox as soon as my girls developed it. Anyway, a week later i felt very tired, spent all of wednesday in bed, temperature of 37.9c, went work on thursday, hot and sweaty (thinking it was the jab), friday, got up feeling rough, covered in spots (jab was too late).
Id say i had about 1-2 thousand spots, my head was one red carpet. My body, back, arms, and tops of my legs are all covered, tho not as dense. My doctor gave me a sick note for two weeks (but thats only after i told him i didnt want to self cert). But thats all he gave me. No pills, lotion, nothing.
Anyway, most days have been spent in bed with brief periods with the screaming girls. My wife has been wonderful, coping with it all, just giving me space and making sure i drink!
Oddly, the big spots have got bigger and the small ones seem to be retreating, but it just looks like really bad acne. I have also found that the areas i didnt put calmine lotion on are much more comfortable and a lot less inflamed... I left my chest alone altogether and ive hardly noticed it.
Wish id never put any on my face and head.
Im taking lemsip twice a day and any old painkillers i can find before i go bed.
I cannot see that i will be in any shape to go work in 10 days, not unless they start scabbing over soon.
I spent the first few days really worrying about the scars i may get on my face, now i couldnt care less, i just want it over asap, i want to be able to eat without pain, sit, lie down, blink without feeling the huge blisters on my eylids touching, pick things up without the blisters on my fingers screaming.
Other than that im starting to feel ok, im going to go round the house later and remove all the mirrors.
My advice, only put calomine lotion on if you need to, keep cool - avoid sweating if poss. And avoid reading stuff on the internet, this site is the exception, i want to hear from someone on day 14...
