I don't quite understand what you mean, are you saying that his tears hurt, his eye-drops hurt or that he is he is emitting a liquid from his eyes that hurts?

Cold Sore.
Leave it be. Pop it if you want to though, won't make a difference IMO.

Okay, I remember the bump being bigger yesterday so hopefully tomorrow it is gone.
Thanks for putting my worries to rest. Who needs a doctor when you got facepunch :v: (kidding)
I have another question about my circ, I had BXO which is a disease where the foreskin scars and it can spread to the glans. Anyway I remember there being a small bit of scar tissue on the glans but it looks like it's been removed, either that or it's gone anyway.
The only problem is that the patch where it was is now super sensitive and isn't healing as quick as the rest, the rest seems to be growing a skin as it should but that patch isn't, is it just a case of hoping it does?

I have a spot on my hand just beneath my wrist where an old injury healed over itself and formed a flap of skin similar to a disgusting piercing. I'm thinking of removing it myself by cutting circulation off by tying each end of the flap that connects to my hand with nylon thread.
Can bad things happen if I do this? The flap is rather small and not noticeable but it bugs the hell out of me and I don't want to have plastic surgery on my hand.
given cotton/nylon knotting is a fairly popular and successful 'home remedy' for skin tags, i'd feel pretty certain there aren't any bad side effects. the premise is simple; cut off the blood supply and it should dry up and fall off.

Keep the glans clean and replace the dressing daily and it should heal, if it doesn't appear to be healing after a week then you should go and talk to your doctor about it. I am not familiar with the procedure for the removal of scar tissue but I imagine they just cut it off with a #10 blade.
I took night nurse and paracetamol together (about 10 minutes apart) and then threw up because I panicked. Should I be worried?

You'll be fine, vomiting is a side affect of Night Nurse anyway [url]http://www.nhs.uk/medicine-guides/pages/MedicineOverview.aspx?medicine=Night%20Nurse[/url]
It was an intentional vomit because irrational thinking etc
You're being paranoid.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;38924521]It was an intentional vomit because irrational thinking etc[/QUOTE]
Night Nurse already has paracetamol in so a couple of pills extra wouldn't affect much, you'd need a hell of a lot to OD

You have maggots in dick. You have 2 hours until you get gangrene

Right so the patch and some of the stitch line started oozing blood and a thick yellow puss. There was also blood coming from what looked like the bottom stitches.
I went to a walk-in centre to get it checked out (like A&E but for non-emergencies) and the GP referred me straight back to the hospital for an emergency check-up.
Basically the urologist just said it was badly infected and the blood from underneath was where it was storing up and he had to pull a stitch out to release it.
Probably my most painful experience.

Did the doctor prescribe you any antibiotics or something to combat the infection?

Yes some Co-amoxiclav and then I'm going back on Thursday for another check-up

Oh man that sounds tucking terrible. my sympathies man.
I am so glad I was circumcised as a baby.
They probably would castrate him if he waited even a minute longer
7th (last) day taking pills against H.Pylori infection, every meal still makes me feel worse every time..
Also worried that its linked with hypoglyemia (blood sugar disease) or something and sugar strengthens the infection.
Fuck, I must wait until 8th of January until I can visit a doctor.
Plus paranoia drives me crazy.
hypoglycaemia isn't a blood sugar disease... it just means you have low blood sugar, usually due to not having eaten much

What is the name of the medication you are currently on?
Welp, my pill days are over. Good this ended. Still feeling the symptoms though.
Since I cant even consult an apotechary person, according to Wikipedia, some foods like red ginseng, garlic and green tea can prevent colonization of H.Pylori. Even read the whole source page, which was mostly about chemistry.
Also according to Wikipedia (again), this bacteria increases its resistance stage within years statistics if I read correctly.

Yes, pardon my English. But its serious when glycemia is lower than usual.
[QUOTE=Greg25kk;38972578]What is the name of the medication you are currently on?[/QUOTE]
I got it from Finland (from Estonia originally), its name is Helipak K package, with Lansoprazole (Zolt), Clarithromycin (Zeclar), amoxicillin (Amorion) pills packaged.
I had to take each one of these, but 2 amorion pills every morning and night for 7 days, which I did.
I hope it all goes well in the end.
[B]Edit:[/B] A new day, feeling better :P
Some of my toes are slightly red, numb and a little achy. The skin around em is white and dry, is it a fungal infection?
Micro-maggots in toes you have 4 hours until gangrene
Shazbot!
Do I use gasoline or thermite?

Ah, I had that too when I was young. About 7-8 so I got circumcised too.
I'm glad it went semi-okay. It hurt like a bitch to pee though for the first week or so.

The infection's gone now and the patch bit is slowly healing up so it's not all bad. When I went back they just gave me a metric ton of non-stick gauze pads, a pair of scissors and some paraffin dressing and told me to wait it out.
