My skin gets bitten a LOT during the summer...are there any home remedies or good sprays that you guys can suggest
thanks (ill rate) (link)
Today I was at my doctors office and I was looking at this bulletin board with a bunch of articles on it. Their was one article about how a University conducted an experiment and tested bug sprays. It said REPEL bug spray was the best out of all of them! Good Luck with those bug bites! -- Isabel


i have a blister on my toe (1st toe) and it hurts. is there any way possible i can make it so it won't hurt? (link)
You can buy Band-Aid brand Blister-Block band-aids. They are cushiony band-aid type things. They work well and stay on good. I'm a figure skater and I get blisters from my skates sometimes. I highly recommend them. =)Good Luck! -- Isabel


I had something about this about 2-3 months ago.

I have this huge cat scratch on my nose & its just in 2 lines... I think its scared... but I was wondering how I could get rid of this scar & how long it would take?

thanks! (link)
If the skin is already healed and it is a scar I recommend using Mederma. I got stitches on my face and I got a scar. Mederma worked really well. I put it on a few times a day when I got a chance for a few months. You can buy it at a drugstore.

Thats the mederma website in case you wanted to check it out! =)

Good Luck, and keep me posted!

2 days ago me and my sister were running outside in my uncles back yard and i ran around her and i stepped on a 2 1/2 inch rusty bolt and it went 1 inch *or more* in my foot and i had to go to the hospital. well now im back home and i have no crutches or a wheel chair or anything and i really want to walk around my house but when i hop on my good foot it makes my ribs and knee hurt too much does any one know a way for me to get around until i get crutches?
thanks
i rate 5's for good answers (link)
I broke my foot once (it was on the edge of my foot),and before I got crutches I walked on my heel. Try putting most of your weight on your good foot and put some pressure on the heel of your injured foot. I'd try to avoid walking, but if you must try that! Good Luck, and hope that foot gets better! -- Isabel
