Questions

Top Dentures too LooseI've had my dentures for 5 years and the top does not fit any more. They just rock back and forth. They cause injury when I wear them, but nobody will give me a loan to replace them and insurance will not cover them for another 5 years. What to do?

Identifying a Painful Bump on Finger Pad - pimple looking bump on index finger pad

Identifying a Painful Bump on Finger PadI have this yellowish/whitish painful bump on my index finger pad. It's painful to touch. Does anyone know what it could be? It is hard to see in the photos, but is in the dead centre of my finger.

Getting Rid of Head Lice and Nits - possible nit in child's hair

Getting Rid of Head Lice and NitsI need help and advice. I discovered my 9yr old had nits/lice not sure what the difference is to be honest. I read the conditioner method so tried it this morning. I brushed the dry hair caked it in conditioner then used the wee plastic comb but genuinely don't think I found anything. But now round the front and sides of her hair are wee black things, that I'm having to drag out with my fingers.

Remedy for Poorly Fitting Temporary DenturesI just had a top denture fitted with 7 teeth on it. I have been back to dentist as there is a gap between the palate and the roof of my mouth. There is also a gap between the front gum of the denture and my gum, so it's hard to eat without food getting in these places. I went back to dentist and he said that's because they're a temporary denture.

Caring for an Eye InjuryI was poked in the eye by a thorn on a queen palm tree. I have the seen doctor at urgent care and he prescribed drops to keep the infection down. I'm already blind in my eye that is injured and have glaucoma in both eyes. I'm unable to sleep when I close my eyes it is too painful and very uncomfortable.

Burning Itchy Feeling from Ingrown HairI've had what appears to be an ingrown hair around my pubic area. Water and creams have been helping. However now, it's gotten red and really really itchy. My doctor won't be able to see me, is it severe enough to go to the ER? According to what I've read online, theres not much a doctor can give me other than antibiotics. Anyone know anything about this embarrassing problem?
