[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;38844830]Skin irritation. You're fine.
If it continues after a large length of time get a rash cream.[/QUOTE]
I've had it for a couple of months now. I tried moisturizing cream ~10 times and it's still just as bad.
My head exploded
Is this a sign of a dangerous disease?

Is it irritating or burning?
I'm getting some kind of disgusting dry skin around my nose. It's been happening for days now and I know know why.
bumbs on dick, what are they called?
Fordyce's spots
So yeah posted in the retail job but basically january im fixed to get 6 teeth removed cause i lost insurance and couldn't get a root canal i needed and it spread p bad.
Anyway i'm in extreme pain and even though im 5'7 and weigh like 115 Regular moltrin 600mg or alot of tynoel does nothing for the pain. I was put on Oxycondine by one dentist to help with the pain in till my surgery.
The hospital doing the surgery is refusing to issue me oxycodine cause of the big hammer coming down on it with it being issued too much. I'm currently reliant on two oxycodine to get rid of the pain to a level where its kinda there but kinda not.
I dunno what to do cause I don't want to get this surgery and have the soreness and huge amount of pain for days of taking 6 teeth pulled and implants put in with only moltrin which doesn't work at all. for me. My last root canal on the other side i was put on Motrin and i literally had to go to the emergency room cause i took so much Motrin and it didn't work at all.

Nothing you can do to prevent the surgery. Infection spread and you're going to lose 6 teeth.
Oxy won't do shit unless drug you up. And if you want it until the surgery then go to your physician and ask him. Hospital and Dentist won't give it to you, best case scenario your doctor will. If not then you can buy it on the street for twenty a pill.
Unless you want to explore Alternative medicine but most of it's bullshit. They claim you can delay or cure your root canal infection. I doubt it works but I've learned in the medical field Alternative medicine usually doesn't work if it isn't a simple condition. Six infected teeth root canals? Nah, you need surgery.

Nah I know i need the surgery, I'm just worried about the pain after. Literally I can wake up in the middle of the night in extreme pain from the infection but after i get them all pulled im still going to have pain from having 6 pulled and the implants put in. Then ontop of it the acutal caps/crowns being put onto the implants later after. Regular pain meds don't work and I'm being sedidated for the surgery cause I finally told him "I'm not doing it with just novacaine, shit doesn't work on me I felt it all last time"
Alright, I got an idea, not to clog the thread, read my PM.
I have a question... My father whom I have never met, suffered from what I was told to be chickenpox on his brain. He became very mean, aggressive, unsafe, etc. I was googling around and I can't find anything about a person obtaining pox on the brain causing what happened to him. Could anyone help me out here...?

I'm not a doctor but that sounds more like a brain tumor in frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex would cause those sort of symptoms. Perhaps someone involved with Neurosurgery or Neurology would know more about this then I do.

That's rather difficult to pin point. As Chicken Pox is a dermal disease.
However Chicken Pox can lead to Shingles which CAN infect the brain.

I don't believe Herpes Zoster, or Shingles if you prefer, can cause the personality changes described. Perhaps it is the result of treatment for Herpes Zoster or it is something entirely different.

It's not irritating or burning in any way.

I would get that checked out if i was you. I no doctor,but you could have tissue necrosis or even gangrene so i would check it out.

I don't know what the hell can create personality changes that's similar to chicken pox.

Nothing to worry about then.
If you want to treat it, talk to a dermatologist. In the meantime, apply lotion and clean regularly.
So I'm 99% sure I have a hemorrhoid. It about an inch above my anus and is about the size of a quarter or half dollar coin. So not really big but its a bit of a nuisance sitting on it. It just looks like a normal piece of skin, its not red and its not real sensitive but it happened one night when I was sitting on a real hard chair all night and then it just stuck around and hasn't gone away. It's been about 2 weeks and I've been sitting on it basically non stop but it hasn't grown. Do I just need some cream or do I need to go see a doctor?
Hey guys, I got these white dots spread out on my frank and beans. its like white blackheads, if i squeeze it hard enough without screaming and giving up like a bitch, they come out rarely.
Any assistance here?

Essentially it looks like dirt under the skin. I can't tell if it's an old missed blood blister, tissue necrosis, an infection, a melanoma, who knows. It's got a bump, kind of like callused skin, with darker spots in it.

From what you have described it sounds like an external anal hemorrhoid, if you wish you may purchase creams and ointments from a pharmacy many of the creams and medication are over the counter drugs. If you feel that it is getting any worse I would advise consulting a Doctor at your local hospital or clinic.

What that may be is hyperpigmentation, from what I have read it doesn't seem to be a problem but if you are worried about it I would not hesitate to contact a Dermatologist.
Another possibility is dermal melanocytosis which produces a blue/grey spot and is typical in infants but is known to persist through a person's life.

Well I guess I'll try some cream first and if that doesn't work move on to the meds and then consult a doctor.

Little tiny cysts, quite common. Popping them is more pain than it's worth. Just means you don't wash yer johnson enough.
Wash more and soak in warm water occasionally.
Went for a circumcision today and the bandage has slipped down, meaning it could be difficult to urinate through. All they've supplied me with is some gauze to line my underwear, is it too early to remove the bandage?

Yes it is too soon to remove the bandage. Typically your doctor would have provided you with instructions pertaining to the bandage, I am not familiar with the rate of which foreskin heals but typically the bandage should be changed once a day. I would highly advise you to contact your Doctor and they will be able to provide you with instructions pertaining to your issue.

I never spoke to any doctor, only nurses who didn't know much about the operation, they were just there to show me where to go and make sure I was recovering after.
They gave me a sheet of paper that says, "you should be able to bath as normal 24-48 hours after the operation" so I presume I should leave it for at least a day?
It doesn't help that blood makes me uneasy so every time I see the blood covered bandage hanging off I have to have a lie down

Yes keep the bandage on for at least a day, when removing the bandage there may be some discomfort from the bandage sticking to the wound and be sure to keep the bandage clean so to prevent post-operative infection. If you are uncomfortable removing the bandage yourself a significant other may be able to assist you.
oh man that thought is so cringe worthy. anyways, welce to the circumcised club.

A bit late, but chicken pox is dermal, so it (symptoms) only occurs on the skin. The best thing to do is consult a doctor next time you have access to one (Don't waste your time making an appointment out of simple curiosity, (assuming you aren't that curious). But this does sound more like a tumor or other problems that affect the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that influences emotion and behavior. If I find anything, I'll PM you a link to it.
Good luck.
