I was out swimming yesterday and didn't put sunscreen on or whatever and got sunburned really bad. I've never been sunburnt like this before and it hurts and is ugly. I don't want to finish out the school year with nasty red skin. How can I get rid of a sunburn really fast or overnight? Is there anything that can get the "burn" out of the sunburn too because it hurts? :(
A bad sunburn will never go away overnight, but here are a few tricks to speed up the recovery and help the appearance.
Fore the pain, aloe vera is the best cure. Leave it in the refridgerator for extra relief.
However, make sure to use lots of lotion to prevent pealing. Use Intensive Care Eucerine for best results, you can find it at Walgreens or even Wal-Mart. Apply throughout the day and before you go to bed. The only thing worse than sunburn is pealing skin! This also speeds up your skins healing and the redness will go away faster.
If you have any on your face I would get some green concealer. I know it sounds wierd, putting green on your face, but it completely takes away redness immediately. Then just put your regular powder or whatever makeup you use right over it and you won't be able to see the sunburn at all.
Get better soon! And have a great end of the school year :)

Im just curious, is there anything to make my hair grow faster?? i herd actressess use speacial pills but what can i do to make my hair grow faster..
thank you so much inn advance
Getting your hair trimmed once month makes it grow faster becase you have less breakage.
Also, prenatal vitamins help your hair and nails grow... and believe me your hair will grow fast! I use One a Day Woman's Prenatal and it does wonders.

is it okay to use like normal veet on your bikini line?
Yes, Veet is safe for all skin areas. But be careful not to get any on the innerfolds of your bikini area because that skin is extremely sensitive. Also, it might take a bit longer for the veet to take effect because the hair "down there" is alot thicker and coarse. Good luck

I used Nair a couple nights ago and it gave my tons of gross looking little red dots, I think it could be an allergic reaction or chemical burn what do I do? How long untill it goes away?
you have razor burn, and while it is horribley sore, itchy, and annoying there not much you can do about it. The nair irritated your skin, and caused alot of ingrown hairs. It will go away within a couple weeks. I'm so sorry and I hope you feel better!
for he future, Veet hair removal is alot more gentle =]

You know those detox foot pads that like remove toxins from your feet? Well, is there a brand that I could get a store, like CVS or somewhere like that? I really want some, but I don't like to order stuff from 800 numbers. Thanks.
Those are only sold on 800 numbers because it's a scam. I know it sounds really cool but your body doesn't work like that, if anything bringing toxins through the skin from your bloodstream, if it were possible, would be harmful to your body. Don't waste your money on things like that, if you want to rid your body of toxins do colonics or something of that sort.
hope i helped =]

There is something wrong with my breast.
But I dont know what it is.
My right breast started hurting really bad on Thanksgiving day,but I didnt really think anything of it.
Well Friday and until today it was hurting really really bad.like barely poke it and i wanted to cry.
I was looking at it today and on the inner side (the side furtherest from my right arm pit of my breast.) is pinkish. and really hardish. it doesnt feel like it my left breast which feels perfectly fine.
What could it be?
Should I tell my and get her to make me a doctors appointment?
Thanks in advance.
it is unfair to give me a low rating if you did not provide me with that information in your question.

..If you had the flu, and you threw up, well what if you got up and jumped around or something, and then you threw up again, and did the same thing over and over for a few times, what would happen?
would you lose alot of weight? or could possibly die?
p.s. i'm not doing this, or going to, i just always wondered that, and i get scared when i get the flu, i'm afraid i'm gonna keep throwing up and throwing up):
thankks!
well no matter how much you throw up, you will only lose as much weight as how long you had the flu. for example, if you have it for 3 days you are likely to lose 3 lbs. or so. But all of that is water weight and will be gained back in a few days. This happens because once all of the food you had eaten is thrown up, all you do is throw up stomach acid.
now, this is dangerous because it will ware away your esophogus. the acid will discolor your teeth and burn your throat. but you will not die.
hope i answered your question

I am a 15 girl.
I have this bigish bumps on my nipples
what is it?
no worries, those little bumps are there to help produce milk for when you get pregnant, it's just a womanly thing and almost every woman developes them at some point.

for like, a year now, both of my big toes have been swollen and ingrown. even when i grown out the nails, they are still ingrown. my mom said that she has though about taking me to a doctor to get them taken off.( the nail, not the toe) but if he does, will it grow back? and is their ANY way that i can heal it. i mean, they OBVIOULSY wont go away on their own!
thanks!
Going to the doctor does not mean he will have to cut off your nails, in fact most likely your doctor will just give you antibiotics. Your toes are swollen, which mean there is an infection beneath the skin, this infection makes it difficult for our nails to grow properly. 10 days of antibiotics should do the trick, no need to cut off your nails.

ive always been really skinny, and sometimes underweight. but just the other night ym paretns told me to stop eating so much, i eat a lot! and my parents say its guna catch up to me and ill be fat. So im about 98 punds myabe more[[cuz i gained weight!]] and im 13 and 5'2. i cant STOP resticting myself from eating too much, i even told my friends, and like imscared for myself. i dont want to stop eatin, but i have to!
i know its unhealthy, but for sum reason my body is saying this, or something else. im not going to talk to my parents becasue i have before, and they say im not anerexic or anything. plus its not serious yet. im just cutting down on foods, ill still eat enough, just not as big of portions as normal, but i feel like im starving myself, but i also feel like im doing the right thing. is this true?
i dnt want to NOT eat, but i need to stop my overeating. I wokro ut like crazy for track, and i have a fast matabulism, but im still worried... what should i do, do i have a problem, whats WRONG!

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU LEFT ME IN MY FEEDBACK...
after recovering from my eating disorder it was like discovering food for the first time and let me tell you, i ate everything. the way to eat as much as you please and still stay fir is sticking to fruits and veggies. i know it sounds so cliche but i would eat until i was rolling over full, yummy grapes and apples and bananas [pineapple is my lifesaver!] soon you'll crave a pear more than anything so it not only cures your hunger but sets you up for a healthy lifestyle. the only problem is you still have to eat 3 normal meals a day otherwise you're undereating again. good luck!

I used to have acne and I took medicine for it, but now I have like red spots all over my face ware the acne used to be and it's really bad looking. Will they ever go away?
it is most likely the red spots are scarring from your acne, but don't worry it isn't unmanagable.
many make-up brands provide green foundation, powders, and cover up sticks. the reason for this is the light tint of green nuetralizes the redness and both the green and red do not show up, but blend with your skin color. i personally use it under my other make up, it works great!
although it may takes years before the scars even start to deminish, that doesn't mean you have to live with it. i hope i helped and good luck!

i just got out of the shower like 10 minutes ago, and i went to my room to get a shirt because i grabbed the wrong one, and i got this pain like i was gonna get sick or something. but then i came down stairs and it got worse. it felt like someone was stabbing me or hitting me with something repeatedly in my mid to lower back. because of the pain it was hard to breathe and i started crying cause it really hurt. it doesn't hurt right now, but what could it be?
i am not a doctor but from my experience i have seen these exact symptoms in two differant scenarios. the first possible reason for the pains is appendacitus, many people think it only hurt before it bursts but excruciating cramps near the stomach and/or sides can sometimes be warning signs that you need your appendix removed.
the seond cause may be stomach ulcers. if the pain was mainly in your stomach/belly this could ean you have a stomach ulcer which is also very serious
i hope you get better, and please keep me updated to make sure you're okay =]
get well

Okay so..this is kinda a girl question. Male eyes - LOOK AWAY!
If I look at my tiny labia things, and on the inner part of my outer labia(vaginal lips)when you spread them out a little, there are all these lighter dot things under the skin like little tiny bumps. I don't think they're pimples or anything like that...They've been there for as long as I remember, and I never really thought twice about it. But now I'm wondering, is that normal? Are those suppose to be there? Are they glands are something? What are they? Haha sorry, I'm just curious.
first of all, it's COMPLETELY normal. every girl has them just some people don't really notice it as much.
my doctor told me the tiny bumps were merely large pores, no worries =]

i have a blood clotting disorder and i want to get my tounge piersed.
my mom said i could be a issue
but were not docters!
and i cant check with a real docter cause my mom said shes not letting me get it piersed just yet untill im older (she thinks it looks tackey) and so i just would like to know about body piersings and how it will effect me.
i personally dont think something as little as a piersing will make a serious issue.
can a body piersing be harmful least i have a blood clotting disorder? ( the only piersing ive gotten is my ears (2ce) and attempted my belly button but it got infected badly)
considering your tongue has many major veins it is incredibly differant from piercing your ears or belly button. my sister had her tongue pierced and she does not have a blood clotting disorder, but it was bleeding uncontrolably.
i would not recremend doing this, but if you insist make sure you go to a place that is especially trained so they know just where to pierce it so they don't hit any major veins.
also a warning, tongue piercings get infected 36% of the time. so be careful!

My ear on the right is blocked from me hearing from it. I can probably assume water, wax, and soap is trapped in it. I am not getting any pain from it, because I have been using antibiotic and ear wax removal drops for the past few days, but it's still not helping with me hearing from it!
does anyone have any at-home methods I can try to get rid of this? I have already tried tilting my head for hours, including overnight. So any ideas?
I know I might need to see a Doctor but before doing so I would like to try some new ideas to see if that will work before I consider going to one.
Thanks in advance!
i had this problem and it is easily solved. although it is uncomfortable, this is what my doctor told me...
as ghetto as this soudns i doubt you have a doctor's utensil so i used a turkey baster. filled up a cup with warm water [NOT HOT!] and about 1/4 of the cup with hydrogen peroxide. fill of the baster, tilt your head to the side of the ear you are doing this too, and start pumping! do this over the sink because the water should be coming back out along with some extra wax build ups. you won't get wax everytime, i didnt get anything until the end when i was doing this.
this works because although you are taking something already for wax build-up, there may be stubborn, hard pieces of wax.
only do this if you use q-tips to clean your ears regularly. I say this because q-tips cause the wax to get pushed back and form these hard pieces of wax, if you haven't used them then that is not the problem and it just won't be comfortable
good luck and im sorry for your illness!

Okay, 2 days ago I shaved "down there." Im a girl, by the way. And now it ITCHES so bad. I dont know what to do! What can I do to make it stop itching..I put lotion on, that didnt really help though.
believe me, i know how you feel. You have razor burn, and I get it everytime i shave down there. Unfortunately, no matter what other girls will tell you this will last a couple days, but you can get some temporary relief. here are some home remedies that i have used in the past...
Dissolve two uncoated aspirins with some warm water to make a thin runny paste. Leave this on your skin for 30 seconds. This works because the aspirin has a drug that will relieve pain and sort of numb the nerves that make it itch. It will not make you feel numb down there haha but it will give you relief.
Also, aleo vera will cure the irritation and redness, but may not do much for the itching
THIS WORKS but it takes a bit mroe work, the oatmeal bath. Add powered oatmeal to a warm bath and soak for fifteen minutes. If no powered oatmeal is available, simply add one cup of oatmeal into a clean sock or nylons and soak in the bathwater. Oatmeal will reduce swelling and itching
i have not tried this before, but my friend brags about how much it works. Apply apple cider vinegar on the razor burn affected area. This will probably burn, but once washed off the itching should stop.
to avoid this ever happening again...
dry shave with an electric razor.
shave it without shaving cream under water while in the bath
use Veet or Nair, but hese may also cause differant rashes if your skin is sensative. although veet is less likely to irritate your skin.

well over the summer ive lost 30 pounds i usually get my period on the 14th of the month and its now the 21st! can losing weight make your period irregular?
weight loss can definantly inturrupt your monthly flow, especially when it is that dramatic. But healthy weight loss does not. This means your not getting enough nutrition and your system is malfunctioning. Remember that malnutrition [or not plain not eating enough] can make you infertile and very sick. So take a vitamin everyday and eat three whole meals and as soon 2 months you should be back on schedule.

Lately, for like the past few days, everyday i've had brown stuff in my panties whenever i check. I dont think its my period, i was on it a few weeks ago. Is this bad, what is it?
Well the first question i need to ask is, are you sexually active? if so, discolored discharge can mean chlymidia. Chlymidia has no real symptoms so you may not feel any abnormalties, but it is important you get checked because it can lead to infertility, and overian cancer. Go to your doctor and get testsed as soon as possible because if caught early, it iw treatable.
if you are not sexually active then you may be experiencing a yeast infection. That is easily treated and with some medication from your doctor

I have really bad cramps right now. Is there anything I can eat or drink to help them not be so bad? I don't want to take medicine though.
bananas and other food high in potassium will effectively help cramps. Also, as mard as it seems, activity will make the cramps go away so if you get up and move, scrub floors (i find this one to ALWAYS work), or go running the cramps will go away.
remember, bananas are the best and most effective way to avoid cramps.

Okay. Well, I just turned 13, and I'm 5'7. The average weight for a person that is 5'7 is 135 lbs. I'm 130 but I feel over weight. I ask people that I know would tell me the truth if I was fat and they say no. I have large breasts as well, would that be a reason?
Am I fat?
I'm going to be truthful, you're not fat. Every girl feels overweight, it's just our nature. But never look at national averages, because America is fat and the average will be fat. And never look at some guideline because the guidelines have too many variables such as, muscle content, breast size, and bone density.
The only reason I say you are skinny without seeing you is that you are pretty tall and 135 is not a heavy weight for somebody of that height. If you feel bigger just tone up your body muscles, but i assure you you are not overweight.
lucky girl =]
