Answers
1)   I think you have AIDS. - Joseph

2)   if its what i think, i get that to a little and so does my mom, and my boyfriend and alot of other ppl i see. i think its just dry skin because its winter - Ray

3)   You should see a dermatologist or your gen practitioner for sure, but it could be simple eczema...In which case LOTS of moisturizer and good ex foliation should help.

If you notice an excess of ingrown hairs, it could also be keratosis polaris...Which is genetic and incurable. But can be slightly relieved by thorough regular ex foliation. - Ashaloo

4)   it most likely is eczema or poison ivy (which is very rare in winter) if its eczema, don't fret buddy...i have it on my arms and legs, usually if you buy some cortisone 10 it will clear up. sometimes if you look up a cure or something it will call it dermatitis or make it sound nasty or infectious, but don't worry! there are millions of people just like u and i dealing with it...but in the mean time i would recommend using aveeno lotion for sensitive skin...it really helps by keeping away the itch - Mz.

Be sure to wear socks!!!! Socks will soak up the sweat so less of it will stay in your shoe. If your shoe smells like ass, wash it and leave it out in the sun to dry.

Be sure to always wash your feet and change socks! Do not be cheap with socks, one wear one wash!!!

You get gunk stuck in the side of your big toe nail. That's from cotton rubbing against your feet. Use your nail to dig that crap out and wash it thoroughly with soap. Then wash your hands cuz that shit stinks! - Mr Striker

Question 3
how to get rid of acne and post acne marks?...  I've tried everything! I have oily skin so i get black heads on my chin and nose while I have breakouts on my cheeks and chin... should i just give in and go to a dermatologist (now that I'm covered by my health insurance)?
Tried proactive- just irritated my face
Murad -has been the only product to clear up my face but after 4 1/2 weeks i had a plateau affect and then broke out much worse then before

I drink over 13 oz of water a day and "creams" meant for spot treatment just make whiteheads MUCH larger
I had a sister who took Accutane and suffered a mild heart attack from the medication at 19 and my fiance has incredibly dry skin on his scalp from taking the product as younger teen even dry skin on the inside's of his ears buut his face is clear!

so, I'm worried of nasty side affects from prescription drugs

Answers
1)   Yeah, go to a dermatologist. They can give you powerful perscription anti-acne creams. Also, be sure to wash your face and put on an otc cream at least three times a day, until you get to the dermatologist, if it's that bad. - Susan

2)   If you have 'typical' teenage acne, the Pro Active stuff you've probably seen advertised on television actually works. We bought it for our son, and it helped clear up his acne within days. If you have more severe nodulocystic acne (can be all over the body...back, chest, face, etc.) then you may need to see a dermotologist. They have drugs available, which can definitely help. I myself had the more severe variety, and eventually was given a drug called Accutane, which cleared me up completely within 3 months. It was literally like looking at another person in the mirror. There were some side effects while taking the medication (dry lips, nostrils, etc.) and you need to get regular blood tests, and reduce or eliminate your alcohol intake while taking it, but it is well worth it, believe me. I was fortunate in that I didn't end up with severe scarring, but again, a dermotologist should be able to advise you on how to minimize the scarring that could result from severe acne. I know how psychologically devestating it can be to have severe acne. Don't delay. Take care of it. It will change your world. - Mr. Dave

Question 4
Why are nipples discolored from the skin?...  out of curiousity

Answers
1)   Because people who have blended nipples look like freaks! - LisexxxLobotomy

2)   So you know where to aim when you're giving someone a purple nurple!!! - Mr. Dave

3)   "The other reason for its color comes from an abundance of two polymers: eumelanin (the brown pigment) and pheomelanin (the red pigment). The genetically-directed amount of these pigments determines the color of the areola. They can range from pale yellow to nearly black, but generally tend to be paler among people with lighter skin tones and darker among people with darker skin tones. " - Mr Striker

Question 5
Does Wireless Internet cause headaches and digestive problems ? please help?...  Ok. I transferred to this university in Los Angeles 2 years ago....Before I only used wired Internet connection which didn't use radiation at all . So after moving down to L.A, I only used wireless because that is the only type of internet connection available on our campus.... Ever since moving to that school , I started developing digestive problems where my stomach feels bloated and really bad gas. I went for colonoscopies and endoscopy to see if anything was wrong with me but the tests results came back negative.... and I also experience headaches and stuff and I am starting to wonder if my health problems are not linked to my daily use of Wireless Internet . I heard that some people can be really sensitive to it ... Does anyone else out there have the same problem ???? It's really starting to worry me. I started changing my diet a while ago but my problem still isn't gone. Before moving to this current school I'm at , I didn't have any problem and we didn't use WIRELESS INTERNET there .. That's the only think I can think of regarding my current health issues right now .. If you have any hints , Please help

Answers
1)   Not that I heard of... - FerbieAngel
