Right smack in between my eyes is this big bump!! It's not a pimple because I can see that it doesn't have pus in it. Its only red because I have been picking at which I have agreed to stop doing. I'm putting medicine on it and nothing is working!! I talked to my mom and asked her to take me to a derm but she thinks its just a big pimple! I read somewhere that it could be mila. If it is how can you get rid of them without going to a derm???

sry i don't kow anything about mila but it could be acne...i had like a big dot that sounds like u described and I had no clue what it was...i went to a derm, and they gave me stuff that totally helped...even thtough I didn't think it was acne...

I never payed any attention when my schoool nurse talked to us about it. can you answer this please? are we supposed to bleed ALL the time? i thought you only bled on a cycle or something.

i rate high

No your not supposed to bleed all the time ... usually only 4-7 or 8 days...it depends...talk to a doctor or parent if your bleeding all the time...hope this helped!!

Okay well i have acne and i don't like it.I was woundering what are the best products to get it to go away fast. cause having acne can be pretty embarassing and i don't really like it. so i was woundering if anyone knew any good products to use

first of all make sure to wash your face evryday if you don't already. I would try to go to a dermatologist and have them procribe something to you...i did that and the stuff the give you works so well! I think i use like TopicalGel or somthing like that...it works really well! Hoped this helped!!

well see I have this problem. I used to pull my hair out of my head. Please, don't ask why, it was just a habit. Well eventually, I pulled out so much hair that it looked like I had a receading hairline. I had my hairdresser cut bangs so I could cover the hairline, and I have been waiting for the hair to grow back, but it's taking alot longer than I thought it would have. But, I still keep pulling out my hair and it's a thing I do when I'm bored. So my questions are, how long does hair usually take to grow back? and how can I stop this habit of pulling out my hair?

First of all, it really depends on the person for how long it takes for hair to grow back. If you are so desprate there are certain pills you can take (found at vitamin stores) that can help your hair grow back longer and faster. Try to pay attention to when you are pulling your hair so you can stop yourself...no offense, its kinda a gross/weird habit. Do your best to stop...you can do it if you really try. Also maybe you could do something else to distract you when your bored...maybe one of those stress balls for example. Hope this helped you!!!

Okay, so this is my fourth or fifth period, and I still don't use tampons. The catch is, next month around this time, I'm going to the beach. So I really want to learn how to use tampons for future reference. I tried just putting in a light one, and it hurt sooo bad. I put vasaline on the tip and everything, I just can't get it in. Any tips for putting that damn thing in?

try using slender or junior...use a plastic one...sooo much easier to use for the first time! Good luck...so worth it!

I am writing this because I don't know what to do. I am really scared that my use of alcohol is out of control. I feel pressured by my friends to be part of the drinking scene. I see people in the media using drugs for pleasure. When I'm drunk, I forget alll my problems and school is unimportant. I've dropped out of sports and I o what I can to get money for my alcohol. I bring little bottles of it to school because I can't going the day without it. Can you help me?

omg...you need to stop now! You are completely addicted! First of all don't brink alcohol to school...if you are caught you could be expelled. Clearly you realize that alcohol is changing your life. If you think your use is out of control stop! If you really want to you can do it. Try lowering the amount of alcohol you drink daily to slowly get it of your system. When you are drunk not only do you need more money, but your are putting yourself and your friendships in danger. You will be so much happier when you stop!!!
