How do I get my insurance to pay for the Lap Band and is it worth it?
I am almost 26, 5'6" and 275 lbs. I have a serious problem with food. I have tried everything under the sun except surgery. I want to do the Lap Band but my insurance (Cigna) is always so vague about coverage. Is the Lap Band worth it and how can I get them to cover it without all the confusing talk?
How to tell if you have acid reflux disease?
I'm a firm believer that the world is over-prescribed. I think that pharmaceutical companies just want to give you a pill for everything under the sun. So with that in mind I never thought I would get acid reflux disease. I always thought that I could just live with general acid reflux, because so many people have in the past and they got along just fine.
So my question is: how can you tell if you have acid reflux? What are the symptoms and if I have it, how can I reduce it without medication.
Thanks in advance.
Help with acne and blackheads?
As a teenager I had moderate acne, I tried everything under the sun from Proactiv to home remedies with no luck. Well, now that I'm older I've outgrown it (thanks also to birth control pills!) but I still have blackheads on my cheeks, nose, and chin to where my pores are obnoxiously huge. Without picking them, what can I use to get rid of them? I've tried those Biore strips, the Clean & Clear blackhead eraser thing, even a professional facial, but nothing seems get rid of the bastards. Thanks for your help!
Really, really bad acne problem. What now?
I've had this acne problem on my face ever since I was 13. I am now 20. I've just about tried everything under the sun. Dermatologists, prescriptions such as benzoyl peroxide, tazorac, minocycline; I've tried lights, home remedies, toothpaste, zinc cream, tea tree oil, honey, salicylic acid, washing face 2-3 times daily... etc. All of these treatments help for a little while, but then the breakouts come back. It is so frustrating that sometimes I just want to cry. I'm tired of wearing makeup to hide them. Personally I think its make it worse, so I try to go as long as I can without wearing it. But I have so many scars. The worst part of my face is my chin. I can't remember the last time I had a clear chin. Right now it feel swollen.
Is there anyone here that's faced this same problem? Is there any hope?

What kind of Acne is this?
Ok,
I have been breaking out lately with a weird kind of acne. I normally just get whiteheads and blackheads but this acne breakout is different. It starts with a really painful bump that takes a while to surface. Sometimes they are small and other times they are bigger. When I try to break them a yellowish clear fluid drains and then right away it will be inflammed and puffed up again.It usually takes a few weeks for it to go away.
This acne as also been going in my ear which really hurts like hell.
I have done everything under the sun. I wash my face twice daily with a medical antibacterial cleaner.
So I am wondering what type of acne this may called.
I also noticed that if I eat sugary foods this seems to make this type of acne come out more.
But whatever typr of acne it is, it is painful witha burning sensation. No matter how much squeezing I do, it just gets reinfected.
Does anyone know what acne this may be???
What can I do about my acne on my face and chest ?
I have never had acne before, but 3 months after having my baby the dermatologist told me that my severe acne was a hormonal issue. It is so bad and I have tried almost everything under the sun.
Does anyone know how I can get this acne to go away and fast?
I was looking into skinid by neutrogena, but I am kind of indecisive.
Help please.
