i've been using certain dri for like a month already and i've been putting it on every night.
but it's not really working. you can still see my sweat stains the next day...is there something i'm doing wrong?
i apply it at night but it says that i should only do a few strokes..like how many strokes is that?
and it's really really ichy so i scratch my underarms does that affect it in any way?
please help (link)

Don't use it right after you shave, and only apply it every 2 or 3 days. Apply enough to cover the whole area with just a layer of the certain dri. It should help you stop itching, for sure. But if it still doesn't help you with your sweating then you could see a doctor for a perscription anti-perspirant.

ok so i am about 100 pounds. i eat like crazy, but i dont really gain anything. i am called anorexic like so many times a day at school. i cry all the time because this has been going on for so long. one day, i will never forget this day, i was at school and i was called anorexic literally six times, i cried so much that day when i got home. i actually got so mad one day when someone called me anorexic...that i punched a person. not like in the face or anything. what should i do? im so sick of being called anorexic when i know im not. and i have talked to my parents about this and they said that "well you know that you arent, so dont worry about what they say" yeah but its easier to say then do!

I (shamefully) have called a friend of mine anorexic because I am jealous of how thin she is. But I know she isn't anorexic. The people who say that are just jealous of you, trust me.
Eating more might not be enough. Weight training and eating extra protein would be good to build muscle. But if you absolutely cannot gain weight I would ask to see a doctor.

so i got my braces off 2 weeks ago and got my retainers today.. ortho said to wear them for 24 hours a day but if i just wear them like 18 hrs/ a day would it be really bad... especially since they didnt move at all during the first two weeks after i got my braces off and had no retainers (my ortho said they hadn't oved a bit because my retainers fit perfectly not even a little tight) (link)

I think you would be fine. If they start feeling a little tight try to go a whole day or two with them in.

I woke up this morning with an allergic reaction to eye makeup--my eyelids are puffy and itchy
I don't know what to do- the pharmacist said to take benadryl, and I intend to, but are there any other ways of bringing down the puffiness? And usually how long does it take for eye allergies (makeup) to go away? (link)

I don't know if it will help much since it was an allergic reaction - but in general for puffiness, if you freeze 2 spoons overnight or a couple hours, then put them on your eyelids (or bags under your eyes - I always use it for that) it usually helps bring down any swelling or puffiness.

I keep getting cavities and I never had any until about 2 years ago. I have braces (for a little over a year) and I brush my teeth about 3, if not more, times a day. I hate flossing because it hurts my gums and causes them to bleed. And when I was kid I used to eat a lot more candy than I do now.
What can I do to prevent cavities? I really can't stand getting them drilled or the feeling of having one.
thanks (link)

Bleeding gums is a sign of not flossing enough. If you start flossing, it may bleed a little at first, but eventually it will stop and that should prevent you from getting more cavities.

ive been getting sick for about a week now... it was never really full blown, just seemed like i was going to end up sick soon. ive been using airborne, drinking lots of tea and orange juice, and getting lots of sleep. 2 days ago i kind of lost my voice... i don't know how because i wasnt like yelling or anything. and i still sound funny today, its been like this for 2 days now. well today i woke up and i felt the worst i have so far. i still don't feel horrible, but i have lacrosse tryouts tomorrow after school. i already have a disadvantage because i dont have great endurance due to an anemia thing i got going on. i want to make the team more than anything and im so scared that being sick is going to hold me back a lot. is there anything i can do or is it too late and now i just have to wait for the sickness to pass?

Take vitamins, get a lot of rest and continue what you are doing! It might not stop your sickness but it is probably preventing you from getting worse than you are now. Good luck at tryouts!
