I have had a keloid on my nose piercing for a few weeks now. I've been crushing up aspirin and applying it as a paste to the keloid every night and have also down salt water soaks. Why isn't it going away?

I'm spending the weekend in Toronto. I have AT&T's nationwide coverage--will I still be covered in Toronto?

i live in chicago and was just wondering how much it usually costs. if you know of any good places to get it done, that would be great too. thanks!

I started taking Yaz a month ago and have noticed a dramatic decrease in my sex drive. Has anyone else had this problem? And what kind of birth control pills are you on now if the problem didn't get better or if you didn't have a problem to begin with?

I'm going to be going on Accutane soon but I'm starting to have second thoughts bc I heard that you can't get waxed or use Nair while on the meds bc you might get scarred, and bc my acne is not that severe. Is it true that I can't wax or use Nair? I figured my side affects wouldn't be so bad bc I'm going on a low dose and bc I have really oily skin and hair.

I have tried every form of acne medication, even birth control. What's it like to be on Accutane...especially if you're a girl? Do you really have to get a pregnancy test every month? And get your blood tested? How effective is the drug?

I've been battling acne since the 5th grade, I'm 18 now. I've been seeing a derm since the 6th grade and have tried every single medication known to man. My doctor just put me on bactrium but it gave me the worst stomach aches so I stopped using it. I decided to try Proactiv instead and have used it for the past five weeks. My skin is worse than it's ever been. I'm at the end of my rope--what should I do next?

I am applying to be a hostess at a few restaurants and most of these places offer interviews right away if you turn your application in at a certain time. I'm afraid that they will offer me the job right away and I won't know what to say because of my other options. What is the correct thing to do in this situation?

The only way that my phone will let me send SMS text message is if I turn the wireless network on--does this cost money?

I have tried every single type of face wash, oil-absorbing lotion, and facial mask out there and my oily skin is still out-of-control. Also, it has gotten worse recently probably due to the change of weather. What can I do to keep it at bay?

I just stopped peeling after a second-degree burn and I have these clustered red bumps over the areas that were particularly painful. It looks like I have really bad acne! What should I do?

I've heard some interesting ways that college students stay virgins, such as girls saying they're on their period when things get hot and heavy and such... Any thoughts or strategies?

I went to my derm on Thursday morning to get a UV light acne treatment. They basically put some medicine on and placed my face under a tanning lamp for 8 minutes. I ended up getting an awful "sunburn" because of it and now it's Sunday and their office is closed! I have tried everything -- Noxzema, Aloe Vera, Tomato juice and my skin is still not improving or peeling. It's very tight and red--I can barely open my mouth to brush my teeth or eat. What can I do to get it to start peeling?

I would like answers from both guys and girls.

1) How do you know if it's a date or if you're just hanging out?

2) Should the girl call/text/IM back? If so when should he/she call/text/IM back? When should he?

3) Can you kiss on the first date? Can you hook up on the first date?

4) Who pays?

5) What is the ideal first date? (Other than dinner and a movie.)

5) What should the guy/girl wear?

6) What are your turn-ons on a first date?

7) Turn-offs?

8) What if you have more experience than your date? What do you do in that situation?

9) What if you're not interested in your date? Do you call them back?

10) How can you tell if your date is interested in you?

11) Anything else you'd like to add?

I looked all over Target and Wal-Mart and could not find it! And it really does work because I've used it before. The key is to wash your hair twice--the second time leave it in for five minutes. My hair is naturally pretty wavy so maybe that's why I get such good results. Anyway...I can't find it! D: Any help?

I just downloaded Plato DVD (a software that converts DVDs into mpeg format that is compatible with iTunes). Anyone know where I can find a free license code so I can use it?

I have lost four pounds in the last five days; I'm ALWAYS hungry; I've noticed some hair thinning; I have really oily skin no matter what I do; I'm always very tired. Could I have hyperthyroidism? I was on birth control pills a few months ago but I stopped taking them because I thought they were affecting my appetite. Now I'm not sure if that's why my hair is thinning or if it's an overactive thyroid. What were your symptoms?

I want to dye my hair purple black. Are there any good drugstore hair dyes that can help me achieve this or am I better off going to a salon?

One of the Ten Commandment is "Thou shalt not kill" and Jesus himself was a pacifist. What happened to "turn the other cheek"? I can understand waging a war of self-defense, but Iraq didn't do anything directly to harm us. 9/11 was an attack brought on by a terrorist group--not a country thousands of miles away from the Taliban.
