Posted Friday June 12 2009, 6:13 pm

How to avoid itchy sunburn
Posted Friday June 12 2009, 1:58 am
I love to be outdoors. I lay out, jog, swim, etc... I also love my tan. Last week I got another itchy sunburn, but the sunburn was not even that bad really (hardly even noticed it). The itching was almost unbearable at some points a day or two after getting the mild sunburn though. So, I slathered the sunburn in aloe vera gel and took antihistamines and it worked to calm the itching down, I also had to avoid the chlorinated pool and getting my back too sweaty from working out (dries up my skin causing it to itch much more).
Are there any tips I can get to avoid making my sunburn itch, other then the obvious wear sunblock? Because I do but sometimes mild sunburns just happen and the itching always comes with it.

My Body My Sleep My FooD
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 2:16 pm
hey there!
I'd really appreciate it if someone helped me out... i am trying to find an answer to my dilemma...
i am very healthy... i haven't gotten sick in 8 years! not a cold... and generally my intuition is pretty good in deciphering my body needs... so i regularly know when i need to do what. if i don't sleep for 3 days or so i can manage if i slept over the weekend. i usually tend to eat the stuff that i crave that i know i need... for instance the other day i was craving apricots and lobster... weird i know! but i checked and both had vitamin A which is good for your eye.. and lately i've been over exhausting them with studying... so you see i usually tend to know what i want.... howeverrrr my problem is my diet....

The Pill?
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:56 pm
16/f
If I'm not sexually active, can I just get the pill from my doctor without having to do a pap smear?
Also, if you start taking the pill, can you decide what week you have your period?
I'm interested in the pill because me period is quite irregular.
Thanks!

mattress sweat stains
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 12:12 pm
ok so this is REALLY embarrassing for me to ask, so pardon me if this is akward.
I masterbate at night in my bed and recently i've noticed a sweat stain start to form on my mattress. I am freaking out here because my parents don't know i do this sort of stuff and if they saw the sweat stain they'd get suspicious and ask me questions and it would just be SOOO akward. so my question here is... how do i get rid of this sweat stain ASAP!! i have a twin size bed and the stain is fairly large, and i'm on summer break now so i have some time home alone so that way i can get rid of it.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!
PS: sorry if this was akward. i'm blushing as i type this..

Is anemia related to cancer?
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:51 am
I am so scared! My mom just was diagnosed with anemia which is loss of red blood cells or something like that and she is going to get more blood tests done. I was reading some causes of anemia and one of them listed on a website was cancer. Do you think my mom has cancer if she has anemia? I mean, is it a rare thing that anemia comes from cancer or is it very, very common to be anemic because you have cancer? Confused.

Where can I get a free breast cancer screening?
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:48 am
I'm 20 and my mother passed away 5 years ago from breast cancer so breast cancer definitely runs in the family (I heard it was genetic).
I have a few lumps on one breast that don't feel right and I'm afraid that it is cancerous tumors inside my breast tissue. I don't have money to go to billions of doctors just for breast cancer screenings. I heard there are places that you can go that will freely test you for breast cancer. Does anyone know where they are or what the organizations who do free breast cancer screenings are called?

Are there STDs that don't have symptoms? When do symptoms appear usually?
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:43 am
Are there any STDs that don't show signs or symptoms after you've contracted it/them? I know about HIV or AIDs or whatever not showing up for awhile but that's the only thing I heard about (and I don't even know if THAT is true). Also, how long does it take for symptoms of STDs to show usually?

Painful, frequent urination...is it an STD?
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:30 am
It burns when I pee and I am peeing a lot more than usual for me. It started a few weeks ago and sometimes it doesn't burn as much but when it does it is really annoying and uncomfortable. I've been sexually active and I read somewhere online that it could be a sign of a STD. I've been with a lot of people and some were just hookups at parties and stuff. :\ (I know, I know...it was really stupid of me to have those hook ups!) So, a STD could be a reason why I have these burning sensations but I don't know for sure or anything because I haven't ever gone to a doctor (gynecologist?). I don't want to tell my mom because this is really embarrassing and I don't want her to be mad at me if it is serious.
What do I do?

2 small white bumps on inside of my vagina & 7 months pregnant...herpes?!
Posted Thursday June 11 2009, 1:17 am
I haven't had sex with very many people at all, and I've been with my boyfriend for over a year now. I am 7 months pregnant and my vagina has been sore so I went to the doctor today and he noticed this little white bump on my vagina.
There's only 2 little white bumps on my vagina, but the doctor made it seem like I have herpes! He did the swab/scrap test and I just have to wait now for the results.
I'm just thinking there's not possible way that I have herpes, right? I've been tested for it three times after my ex boyfriend, because he was with a lot of people before me. I also KNOW my current boyfriend has NOT cheated on me at all. I looked up information about herpes and white bumps on vagina and a lot...

Red bumps on my butt..
Posted Tuesday June 9 2009, 4:40 pm
I tried to do a Google search, but didn't find much..
16/f
I get these small red bumps on the bottom of my butt, near the back of my thighs. They kind of seem like razor bumps, but i rarely shave that close to my butt. I usually always wear thongs, so I don't think they would be from my underwear. I've been putting lotion on them, which sometimes makes them go away, but they always come back.
What is this? And how can i get rid of them?
Thanks!

Mood swings and depression from morning after pill?
Posted Tuesday June 9 2009, 3:01 am
I took the morning after pill about 10 days ago and I started my period two days ago. My period is extremely heavy now, heavier than ever before! That is only the beginning of the problem though. I have been so depressed in the past week (starting maybe 24 to 48 hours after I took the morning after pill) and yesterday I was furious with anyone who talked to me...about ANYTHING! Everything made me mad I was so moody.
So, after a big crying fit I had yesterday (that completely ruined my day and embarrassed me), I remembered that I took the morning after pill. I had heard it is sort-of like birth control pills only in a much higher dosage, but I'm not sure if that is true. Am I understanding correctly?
Is a...
