I got sun poisoning in California years ago and it left my cheeks with a relatively large area of 'thickened' (scarred) porous skin. Its also discolored with darker spots splotched around, and white spots during the summer when I tan.

I have grown to hate it. Other than the discoloration and big *** pores, it makes my skin look bloated. It looks like this problem starts from right under my eyes and goes to right above my jaw line.

What do I do?

I'm leery of purchasing a $200 home microdermabrasion kit, because I'm not sure if it will help what I've got on my face.

Please, some one, enlighten me! I'm really leaning towards saving up for surgical dermabrasion (not micro-) but if something else will help in the mean time...let me know!!

So I'm 20 and have never had acne this bad in my life. In fact, I barely ever had blemishes; only a zit during that time of the month.

During this past winter, acne began exploding with herculean might all over my forehead.

Right now I have 12 active (inflammed) blemishes and 25+ healing acne marks. What the sh*t is up with that??? No acne system is working and I've been in this debilitating state for like 4 months!!

Yes I do suppose it is hormonal, but I can say with rather certainty that the hormone-releasing-impetus that caused this abomination on my face is GONE. So why the hell arnt the hormones?

WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END??? I NEED TO BE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON ONCE MORE!!!!

PS: I'm using a .5 salicylic acid facewash morning and night + topically applied lemon juice at noon and at night. I also steam my face twice a week

Is this regimen enough? I don't want to over do it?

More specifically, you get married in the US, while they have 50k worth of debt in Germany...

Does the incoming spouse share that debt?

Maybe no one here is a doctor but I'm sure some of you have experience...

Heres the time line:

Vaginal insertion of misoprostol on Wed1/25

I visited the doctor on 1/27. He gave me two more pills to use on 1/28 and 1/29

Today I still have some moderately uncomfortable abdominal pain (cramps). They aren't horrible just very annoying.

My family gets about 9 or 10 thousand dollars in transfer payments a year (that is social security, welfare, NO actual income)

I see theres the NACAC fee wavier. I'm 20 years old and applying as a transfer student on the common application.

Should I sent this to every school I'm applying for? Is that okay? I definitely fit the criteria.

I didnt study, I didnt even think about the test before I took it.

I took that test 2 or 3 years ago. Now I regret not caring because I want to be in league with students at a good university. (I'm smart but I was a hopeless underachiever for most of my life). I mean I get straight A's in community college....but that doesn't make me feel better about my academic past.

Bleh. I dont think the SAT score matters now that I'm exiting a junior college...but I'm still feeling a little worthless because of my previous grades.

SO yeah? Heres the link

tell me what you think honestly?

Does my high pitch voice totally suck?

I also realized that a few days ago I had a swollen lymph node behind my jaw line on my right side. It was very tender to the touch, It cleared up very fast.

Today I woke up with a very very tender, swollen lymph node in my right arm pit.

Should I be worried?

Could this be a skin abscess?

I never had this before :(

Im pretty sure they stopped working a long time ago either way. Ive been taking 60mg of Celexa for over a year. Recently ive been skipping a lot of days...should I just go cold turkey? I havent taken them for two days...I'm thinking that I might as well just stop. I am very depressed and anxious but I know I wont have any serious issues, well, besides the whole morbid depression thing.

Im going to ask my doctor to prescribe something else, maybe. I'm twenty so maybe its about time I just stop taking anti depressants all together.

Im not quite sure what to do with myself at this point. Im not in high school more, and for some reason I always thought my depression would just vanish when I became a young adult. I dont want to be on pills but I also dont want to be depressed/anxious. ive been this way for over half my life.

I've had cold sores way before I ever even kissed a person. I get them 2 maybe 3 times a year, almost entirely around winter.

Does this mean I have an STD...or what?

What the hell is the difference between a cold sore and the oral herpes you get from performing oral sex on a person with genital herpes?

I've always been skinny naturally. Always around the same "ratio" of weight-to-height. When I was 12 or 13, I was 5'7" and a little over 90lbs. I just turned 20, and am 5'9". The most I've ever weighed was 113lbs.

I've been pretty stressed out the last couple of weeks/months. I guess I have all these issues with school, the future, my family, boys, friends, etc. (The stress-load doesn't seem to be more overwhelming than usual, I've had a difficult upbringing and dealt with worse)

I find myself feeling hungry or starving...a lot. I find myself putting off meals and its always for the same reasons:

1) I'm too busy to eat.. I have all this work I want to do. I have to get to school on time. I have to do this than I will eat.

2) I just dont know what the hell I was to eat. I don't know what to make?!

3) My mood is low, so I put off doing things that I feel "repeatedly waste my time" such as eating, sleeping, showering...etc.

4) Some foods that my family constantly eats makes me want to hurl. They eat the same meals all the time. Its always meat and potatos. Not to mention that I don't like meat (I think about the animals' fate).

My diet has always fluctuated but I've never felt so hungry ON A REGULAR basis. Like every day. I put off eating until I can do it no longer.

I checked my weight today; 100lbs.

Is this the beginning of an eating disorder, I'm worried. Ive always wanted to gain weight...I never ever lost over two pounds.

?? I'm not sure when it started running so slow/lagging. When I first installed the game and the first few expansion packs, things seemed to run fine. I have the theory that maybe it was because I installed custom content. However when I ran the game without custom content, the performance did not change?

What the hell should I do? I spent so much money on the games and I cant stand playing them when they lag so much...

Do I really need to install more ram? Or maybe delete all the custom content all together?

I'm just not used to having such short hair and I have mixed feelings...

Before (the picture where I'm standing)

After ( the webcam picture) Sorry its a blurry and my hair couldn't stay straight because of the humidity.

Does it look good on me?

Sorry its a little blurry because of the fan. You can see the difference though lol.

I just downloaded the game and three expansion packs. I've also downloaded clothing and houses, etc. Now the game running slow or is glitchy or whatever..

What can I do to make it faster and better? Will an external hard drive so the job?

(I dont really understand the purpose of an external hard drive lol)

:'( Ive never had an STD before!! I'm freaking out!!!

It was a one night stand without a condom. He buttered me up so good, I didnt see his foul intentions coming!!! After the sex, he ran out on me claiming his father got in a bike accident...(Such a good liar).

Anyway on sunday morning his friend said that he had been recently taking pills to cure chlamydia....I feel it in me, I have it. My "odor" is UNUSUALLY acrid (compared to the usual odorless-ness).

Now what do I do?? I set up an gyno appt for Thursday...To get tested. Im very anxious. very very very anxious.

Will testing be useful this early? Do you think it would be improper to ask the doctor to treat me as if I have chlamydia because of the tip from the friend??

Bust: 32

Waist: 24

Hip bones: 30

Widest part of the hips: 33/34

I'm 110 lbs and 5'9"

I'm an ectomorph; my weigh fluctuates by two lbs no matter how much I eat.

Am I "banana shaped"? Or "pear shaped".

My waist and hip measurements vary by 2 inches, depending on the month.

PS: I dont have an eating disorder.

PPS: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. (maybe thats why I havent gained much weight since puberty.) I'm 19.

Yes. If their are similar formulas, I would like to know them too..

(for example: a^3 - b^3)

The book says the answer is: 5(m + 2)(m^2 - 2m +4). [Which is indeed correct] I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND how they got the variable -2m??!

I know my answer is wrong, I just cant figure out what the hell I'm missing?
