help me get rid of it!! its bad around my face and on my ankle. help me
Answer:
Poison Ivy is horrible and there's no easy way to get rid of it. Mine lasted for like 6 weeks before it stopped bothering me.One thing I found that helped a little was a cream called Zanfel. However, it is VERY expensive and there is some controversy over whether or not it works like it says it does. It says it washes away the urishiol that causes the itching, but the itching persisted for me -- perhaps because I had a systemic reaction (I am allergic to a lot of things and have had skin problems even without poison ivy).For me, it really relieved the itching for short periods of time (maybe several hours). But it did NOT get rid of the rash. It kind of feels like sand in ointment and I think a large part of what makes things feel better is that you're actually scratching the rash with the ointment! Like I said, though it did help me get through some desperate hours at the very least, so if you can't stand it anymore, it might be worth it to you. Again, VERY expensive though...I'm including links to information about Zanfel and how you can get it (I got mine at a local drugstore), more info on Poison Ivy from Wikipedia, and a link to another ByeDr.com question about Zanfel.Good luck! I sincerely feel for you...
calamine lotion
go to the doctor and they will prescribe medicine for it
Wash all your clothes and everything you have contact with in very hot water -- not with any other clothes. Use good soap and add borax to it. Then calamine lotion and patience.
Buy calamine lotion. Don't scratch the poison ivy unless you have to and if you do then wash your hands throughly with soap and water. I have had poison ivy and it's not fun having it.
prescription meds work best they can give you an injection too

Popping zits - gorgeous or gross??
personally i'm fascinated!
Answer:
Zit-popping is great fun, especially when you build up so much pressure that the pus splatters all over the mirror.
well popping zits in front of people is kinda gross but u have to do it cuz having a face full of puss isn't to pretty either! plus it's healthier for you cuz the puss is just clogging you up. hope this was the type of answer you are looking for :)

Popped pimple scab..leave alone or antibiotics?
I popped a really big pimple few days ago and it left a pretty nasty looking scab that is healing slowly..theres no puss left because it doesnt hurt when i touch it..but i want to get rid of this scab, should i just leave it alone or put some antibiotic cream on it?
Answer:
Put some Witch Hazel on it. It will dry it out very quickly.
Leave it, dont put chemicals on your face either, that isnt good for your skin, although companies would like people to believe it, for one good there are 5 bad sides to it.
Only thing I would say to put on it is all natural aloe vera right from the plant.
Never ever ever pop pimples. it could scar your face. the only thing you should put on it is medicine that could help heal it. make sure u wash it well too.
Hi Ken,Try white tooth paste overnight sounds stupid but it works on mine %26 also you could try some aloe vera ( just take a piece off %26 squeeze the juice on your face-plant-good for all kinda treatments-burn, scratches, acne, insect bites etc.) Call florist where you live %26 see if they have any %26 occasionly you can find aloe plants at Walgreen's drugstores.

Poor leg circulation, frequent cramps and bruises...heart problems?
I'm a 24 yr old female that doesn鈥檛 have an active lifestyle, I鈥檓 30 lbs under weight, suffers daily stress from demanding career and fulltime education. I've spent a lot of money already on several doctors for the past 2 years. This has yielded no results, just a lot of different opinions and too many wrong directions. My problem is still un-cured. Any unique insight would be appreciated. will post my symptoms next.-------------
Answer:
I agree that you may want to look into candida issues. Most of what you describe here could be related to candida (at least in part). The heart issues and severe leg cramps may be due to a calcium/magnesium deficiency caused by the candida. The vaginal irritation, and inflammation may be due to large amounts of toxicity from the candida - this sort of irritation can be triggered by toxicity. The recurring yeast infections are a definite sign of yeast issues. An infection as severe as this may be an indication of heavy metal presence in the tissue, as well. Heavy metals create a great environment for candida so the candida would proliferate.
You can get a candida test prescribed by your doctor - biotek.com has one they can order. A hair analysis would give you indication of the levels of heavy metals in your system - you can find this test at www.meltdown.com
Wow, that's a lot of symptoms!Honestly though, I have shared several of them with you over the years... Ask your doctor to do a CT work up, MRI, everything. Many of these things can be attributed to nerves in your spine, as was the case with me.And while it is indeed quite painful, you may want to have a Myelogram. I only say that because it really sounds like you have had all kinds of test with no answers. A Meylogram is when they inject dye into your spine and take high resolution images of it under a Flouroscope as well as a CT scan. In my case, that was what caught the degenerative disk disease and nerve root disorder that had pushed my buttons for a very long time.Wish you luck whatever path you and your doctor decide on. :)
Have you had an EMG? Sounds like a circulation problem to me, main thing, do you smoke? I have the same thing in my legs as you do, and I've been told it's from smoking. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate and your too young for all this. Go to a woman Dr. they seem to understand women's problems better than men do. Don't give up, if you watch the health channel on TV every week you'll see and hear people who have for years tried too figure out what their health issues were, your not crazy, a lot of people experience health problems such as yours, don't give up..I wish you the best. P.S. When you go to the Dr's write down everything that's been bothering you, otherwise you might forget a main point, sometimes that helps the Dr. to decide what direction to take.
Ask your doctor for a Candida test. It can lead to a huge host of odd symptoms and you have many of them. I started a candida diet after months of weird symptoms and within 2 weeks of being diagnosed and doing the diet, I felt like a completely new person! I'm not kidding, it was like a miracle!

Poison Sumac?
My daughter has a tiny patch of sumac, how do i get rid of it before it spreads all over her?
Answer:
she can't touch it. use calamine lotion or anti itch cream to calm the itching. oatmeal baths will help ease itching and dry it out. alcohol also works, but it will burn. i also read, you can make a paste of vinegar and baking soda and spread it over the affected areas until it dries. this also will dry it out. its a little messy though. good luck.
Keep it contained with normal calamine lotion and make sure she does not touch it *at all*. Self contamination is the worst part. No matter how bad it feels, don't touch! It should really stay contained that way. Also, here is some info from the net:First Aid Wash the skin thoroughly with soap and warm water. Because the resin enters skin quickly, try to wash it off within 30 minutes. A product called Tecnu, available in camping stores and some pharmacies, is very effective at removing the oils.
Scrub under the fingernails with a brush to prevent the resin from spreading to other parts of the body.
Wash clothing and shoes with soap and hot water. Resin can linger on them.
Promptly bathe animals to remove the oils from their fur.
Body heat and sweating can aggravate the itching. Stay cool and apply cool compresses to your skin.
Calamine lotion and hydrocortisone cream can be applied to the skin to reduce itching and blistering. Bathing in lukewarm water with an oatmeal bath product, available in drugstores, may soothe itchy skin. Aluminum acetate (Domeboro solution) soaks can also help to dry the rash and reduce itching.
If creams, lotions, or bathing do not stop the itching, antihistamines may be helpful.
In severe cases, especially rash around the face or genitals, your physician may prescribe oral or injected steroids.
Do Not Return to top DO NOT touch skin or clothing that still have the resins.
poor thing! i had sumac and ivy and poison oak when i was a child, you need to dry it up calamine or alcohol works best,if it gets too bad take her to the doctor they can put her on steroids to make it go away(thats the last resort for poison but may cause long term side affects) good luck
The rash will spread wherever the oil in the plant touched. It does not spread from the rash itself. Childrens Benadryl may help with the itch, apply an over the counter cortisone cream or calmine lotion. If severe swelling is associated with it take her to the doctors.

Poison oak?
I may have gotten into some poison oak on Tuesday. I had capris on with tennis shoes and yesterday only my left ankle and foot were swolen about 3 times their normal size. I have some scratches on the same ankle, but they are just scratches. I'm thinking it's from tree branches. My legs have been itching ever since, but now I'm starting to get little clusters of bumps on my legs, and they are begining to burn. The swelling on my ankle and foot have went down alot, but are still are a little swolen. Could this be poison oak or what? If it is what can I do about it?
Answer:
sounds like it... try hydrocortisone creme should help that's what i used.. also benadryl will help...
even an oatmeal plaster put on the bumps/rash
Elevating your leg to help with the swelling...
bad
