On your neck, could be skin tags instead of moles
I would never bother moles but have had skin tags removed. They are the little fleshy protuberances that appear, especially around your neck. I had some clipped at the dermatologist's office and clipped 1 at my home with small scissors but the one I did at home was sorta painful. As you age they start showing up and they do return.
Are you also perimenopausal or in premenopause? Making my hair fall out like crazy as my

when I removed IE 7 it automatically reverted back to IE 6...sm
everything is back to normal now.  Thanks
Mine removed surprisingly easy . . .
I was told to hold a hairdryer and get it hot and it would come off easily, but I didn't even need the dryer. Most of it came off in one sheet.
Yes I had a lipoma removed from my thigh and it came back because they didnt get all the roots out.
I still have it and dont plan on bothering this time.  It might be the size of 2 grapes or something. 
Mine is just making me sad
When I first got my little boy he and his brother could not stay out all night. They wanted to come into my bedroom and jump on me so I gave them their own bedroom. I made sure they had all the catty things little guys need and tucked them in each night with food, litter box, their treats, whatever. They are past that stage and now know how to behave and I leave them to have the house when I turn in for the night. My little boy now sits right outside his old bedroom and meows. He looks under the door - I keep that closed off now after cleaning up after them - but he knows that is where he stayed when just a small guy and he cries. So pitiful!
I had to actually kidnap mine back.

Unlike yours, mine did come out a while back
Have a gay furrie- wrote about this before- he even tries to put the make on his own brother! I have to watch him to keep from having an x-rated show going on in my living room. Really bad, but he is my son!
So did mine! That brings back memories. nm

Pet tags

I ordered pet tags from Lucky Pet a couple of days ago, and received them today.  I wanted plastic ones - red for Teddy and blue for Bear.  The reflective blue one didn't turn out like I expected - the blue was only on the back and the front was white.  It was hard to read.  I liked the plain red one I got Teddy much better.  So I called the company and told them, and the guy (American!) on the phone was very nice and understanding and let me get a plain blue one instead of the reflective one.  He even let me change to the smaller size like I got Teddy.  Nice way to do business. 



Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.

My car tags this year are $455.00! Does anyone live
in a state where they also have ad valorem taxes? I have heard property taxes here might be a thing of the past in a few years- wish they could do away with these high a... fees. Where I used to live our tags were either 10 for an auto and 15 for a truck. Egads!
We pay property taxes in KY on car tags. (nm)

As for tags, they are infinitely cheaper in WA.

MIL had trimalleolar fracture last year. She refused to get even temporary tags. (sm)
She doesn't drive and when I took her to appointments, etc. I pulled up in front of the building and kind of illegally parked while I got her inside in a wheelchair. We didn't need the tags and people seemed to well understand the situation.

It was a temporary situation and we used temporary measures.
Hey, I want my post removed
because it sounds dirty, LOL.
Anyone else ever had one ovary removed?
I did and I feel much better and feel like my hormones are not bothering me like they were.  I was feeling perimenopausal and feel much more clear now. I had chronic cysts and I think they were whacking my hormones up.   Just curious if this is common?
Ovary Removed
I had one ovary removed in September due to a cyst. I was told that after you remove one ovary, sometimes the other one quits working. That is what happened to me. I have been on hormone replacement since last month and I feel so much better. The lack of hormones was causing me to have lots of migraines.
Had my right ovary removed
I had an ectopic pregnancy and had one ovary removed at 48 years old (I'd say pretty close to menopausal age). they said during the surgery they found a huge amount of scar tissue they had to remove and say that could be a reason why I've never gotten pregnant, so they removed all that too. They said they were unsure as to why all the scar tissue because I've never had surgery before and periods were normal, etc. I didn't and don't feel any different than before the removal. IMO I don't think it is having the ovary removed that makes a difference but not having the chronic cysts anymore as to why you feel differnt. My doctor and his partner never told me I'd have hormonal changes, or that the other would quit working or anything different. They did tell me that my chances of getting pregnant are slim to none (which is fine by me cos I don't want any kids - especially at this age). He did tell me that if by chance I do get pregnant I will most likely end up with another ectopic. Oh joy, joy. On another note I just got the best Xmas present yesterday - my period. HA HA HA.

Anyway...I did have an ovary removed and it did nothing to affect my hormones, moods, etc.
They were removed because they became INFECTED
There is NOTHING wrong with a healthy infant or adult foreskin. It does not need to be removed.

& you can thank your lucky stars that when your infected organs were removed, they used anesthesia.
PS: Yes, I kept the ovaries. But the cervix was removed, - (sm)
which was a good thing, because on routine exam in preparation for the surgery, they found precancerous changes in the cervix. So good riddance to that, too.
Some were removed last night and again this morning
and I saw 1 last night late you probably would not wish to see where BA wished all our jobs to India.
I've had a couple removed
It was well worth it. I had a huge hole in my leg from the last one but it is finally filling back in.
I think maybe the tape could be removed, but why the other things? sm
I like Halloween, too. I love, love, love the orange lights, etc. My friend has her inside and outside decorated like you would not believe. She has a big party every year, and for the kids on Trick or Treat night (hundreds come, literally) She even has the tombstones on the bank and her friend operates the steam machine!  Just as the kids approach the porch the mist comes up over the stones!   YIKES!   I go over to hand out candy. It is a total riot and they love it! Their parents take pictures!  She has funny stuff, too. It is just bright and things making noise, etc. They just love it.

For the party she even makes a meatloaf to look like a foot!  The tomator sauce is . . oh well, you get the picture.  
betcha COMET would have removed it...LOL
Comet powder cleanser would probably have removed it, rubbing alcohol, and probably peroxide....
Yeah. My dad had one lung removed because of
and my sister said that when he was in his hospital room, my mom (who always smokes) and my aunt (who rarely smoked... ever...) were puffing away, in his room!
Oh, I really think you should go to a derm for that, besides having them removed safely....sm
if any look suspicious you would have the opportunity to have them biopsied for your future health. Just want you to be careful!!!
True Anon, but Christ is being removed out of everything and that isn't right either.

I have to have a front tooth removed because it cant be fixed anymore and has had all it can have
done to it.  It was damaged when I was young along with the one beside it.  Has anyone had a front tooth removed and instead of an implant had a partial or something put in for 1 tooth.  What do you recommend other than an implant.  I have lost a lot of bone with this tooth so it would be a very long process for an implant.  This tooth has cost me a fortune so far.
Did anyone ever have a tooth removed after it was root canaled etc. and very brittle. I am
concerned about it breaking off in pieces being so brittle from all the work done on it and now is infected again.  Brother, always something.  It is a front tooth no less.
When you say under the skin?
Do you mean you take off the skin, put the mixture, and then replace the skin?  Like I said, I'm an newbie with turkeys, so I have to clarify.  thx so much!
Dry skin
I have that problem with many products too and my skin isn't dry to begin with but rather oily. Sometimes I am not sure which problem is more embarrasing, the scaly dry skin or the acne.

I haven't had that problem with product though, even when I use it multiple days in a row.
SKIN
Try the "cracked heel" cream made for your feet. I've tried almost every cream made. Also put a finger cot (you,know they look like mini-condoms) from the drugstore over a Band-Aid over the cream. Use the Band-Aids that are made for fingertips and are stretchy and flexible. Put oodles of cream on when you go to bed. Just grease, grease, grease as much as you can. Protect the split as much as possible. If all else fails, try a regular medical finger splint. Idea is to grease and protect so it will heal - kind of hard to do when you use it to make a living, I know! I live in Maine and it happens to me with our low temps, and these all help. Good luck.

I would second the 2nd skin. (s/m)
I have lots of friends who do serious road-skating: Downhill runs in the middle of the night, inline marathon races, etc. A bad 'road rash' is basically a burn, (except with some asphalt and rocks 'n' stuff in it!). Most of them swear by 2nd Skin. Allowing it to dry out and scab not only makes it much more painful, but it seems to heal with more of a scar. One time I got a knee & elbow rash at the same time, and allowed the knee to scab, and kept the elbow moistened and covered with a nonstick telfa pad and wrapped that with gauze. It not only healed faster than the knee, but the scar is barely visible. I thought that was the best I could do, but my Xtreme skater friends tipped me off about 2nd Skin. I plan to get some and keep it on hand for next time. There is ALWAYS a 'next time'!

I did have one surgically removed from my wrist by a hand surgeon years ago.

He did a real good job and has never recurred.  He showed it to me when he took it out and it basically just looked like a little balloon with a long skinny taiI.  I had it done on a Friday and I believe by Monday I was back at work again and in a week or so had the stitches removed.  The incision is not even a 1/2-inch long.  I took pain pills for the day of surgery and probably the next day and that was it.   Mine wasn't that large and was given the choice of leaving it alone or have it excised.  I thought that I might as well take care of the problem when it was minor before it got much larger.



I have to have front tooth removed after multiple apicos on it and it just keeps reinfecting. The
tooth next to it is also not the best having had surgeries so bridging is not an option.  These teeth were broken when I was a kid.  Any suggestions other than an implant for the space.  This is quite upsetting as I have spent a fortune on these 2 front teeth. 
Dry skin on my furkids
I took my big furboy to get his coat taken care of and was told he has dry skin and I should try some olive oil in the food. I used about half teaspoon between the 2 small cans that I give my kids and they are not just liking that. The lady had said I could possibly use a vitamin E on his skin but tried the olive oil first. Anyone with any similar problems and ideas? Thanks
RoC skin care
Anyone use RoC skin care?  If so, did it burn when you first began using it.  It does say that it may burn a bit when first starting out, so I only use it qod, but geeze, my face is warm feeling.  Think maybe it's partly my imagination, but just wondering if anyone else experienced this and if so, how long it lasted.  Thanks y'all!
Since when does humidity cut down on the dry skin?
Our humidity here in southern Georgia runs very, very high and I have to use special soap on my face especially because if not I dry out so badly, like flaking skin on eyelids, face, around the nose area. I myself just don't know how it should or does help.
I use it for extremely dry skin -
have a spray of it that I use on my arms legs, feet right after a shower when still a little damp, and I love it. It helps more than several lotions.

Needing help with this dry skin...
I have used Vaseline on my face, lips and am using bathing soaps like Dove but when I change my jeans have flakes of dried skin all over the place. What can I use as an all over body lotion that can get help me with this extremely dry skin? Thanks.
I had a friend who had skin reduction
for her arms and the so-called plastic surgeon measured one arm and took the same amount out for both arms. This left a gaping wound that the dodo couldn't close. Mind you the incision was the length of her upper arm. Grrrrr.
That's what I found. Not for older skin.

Moh's procedure for skin cancer

Put on some thick skin....my gosh,
everyone is so touchy here lately....my opinion is allowed and it does not have to agree with yours! We still can have our own opinions in this country, can't we?
My grandmother used olive oil for everything, especially for her skin
and when she wanted to give herself a facial, she would combine oatmeal and egg whites - i remember how funny she used to look doing that but that woman had the most beautiful skin.  For conditioning her hair, she used mayonnaise that she made herself and to protect her hair during the winter months she used avocado and olive oil - after washing her hair she would as she said ' scoop to goop' onto her hair, wrap it with a warm towel for ten minutes and rinse it out thoroughly.  She never ever used soap on her face - she used to tell me and my sisters (there are five of us) that soap is the worst thing for a woman's skin...to clean her face she used cold cream (Jergen's and some other kind I can't recall now) but it worked.  As an astringent she used witch hazel with a bit of tea tree oil and for scars which was got a lot being little, after they healed over really well she would have us rub a lemon rind with a teeny bit of lemon on it over our skin - it does fade small scars.  I tell you, stuff that grams used worked before all of this fancy schmancy manfactured stuff; and I still use a lot of her ideas to this day..
