If you're very worried, contact your piercer, or better yet, your doctor. :)

Try an ointment like Bacitracin; my tattooist recommends this for keeping ink hydrated. Avoid Neosporin--many people are allergic to it's main ingredients. Apply it above and below the piercing,...

If you ever have any questions about a piercing, contact the studio or artist who did it; they'll be able to answer many of your questions.

It does sound like you have an infection. I've been in...

If you ever have any questions about how a piercing is healing, contact the artist who did it. They'll be more than happy to help you and answer your questions.

Secondly, the white on your...

Ask your doctor or someone who pierces professionally.

If you're near an university, try taking it down to their classic or modern languages department (I'm not sure which it'd be, since Sanskrit is old but not part of the "classic" languages). They'll...

You can layer your extensions to blend them--the stylist who put them in should probably have done this for you (try calling the salon and telling them you're unhappy with the job the stylist did;...

The best, easiest way to fix hair color is to go to a professional stylist. Take a picture that accurately shows your natural hair color to your stylist or colorist, and they should be able to get...

I wouldn't. While it's probably okay to change the stud once, repeatedly changing it will drastically increase the time it takes the piercing to heal and also increases the risk of infection because...

There are two ways to get a cartilage piercing: with a gun or with a needle (called a "coring" because it cores out a piece of flesh to make room for the stud). Most people favor needles for several...

It's possible you have oral thrush, which is basically a yeast infection in the mouth. If you have thrush, you'll be able to see white patches or a white coating on your tongue, and may be smelling...

Here is the Center for Disease Control's entry on BV and Wikipedia's. It occurs when the normal bacterial balance of the vagina is thrown off and one bacterium takes over; it can be treated with...

It's possible that you have an ovarian cyst--go see your doctor or gynecologist to be sure. :)

It's likely that some irritation and redness will occur when you accidentally pull out a fresh piercing, but irritation that dark and fast sounds like a problem. Clean the area with rubbing...

Edema is a build up of fluid, and marrow is found inside your bones; a contusion is a bruise. So the first part is you have some buildup of fluid in your bone because the bone was bruised. "Stress...

It's most likely a hallmark--a mark that identifies the piece's maker--or something denoting the carat, purity, etc. of the item. An appraiser, jeweler, or even a pawn shop would be able to give you...

If you carry your wallet in your back pocket, stop. Sitting on your wallet compresses your sciatic nerve and can cause (or increase) pain. For a more thorough assessment, see your doctor, or even a...

Take it to a jeweler, appraiser, or even a pawn shop. They should be able to easily tell you what any markings on your jewelry mean.

If the only fluid coming out is clear and slippery, it sounds like it could lymph, which is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about (if you pop a zit, for example, lymph would come out if you...

The "white stuff" coming out is probably pus; the "red stuff" may be blood mixed with pus. It's possible you just have something simple like an ingrown hair or a boil (it's like a really, really deep...

There have been many, many adaptations of this tale, though there is an animated version that answers this description:

Han's Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

It was released in the late...

If you went for a brown and it came out darker than you expected, wait a few weeks (2 or 3) before recoloring. During this time, your color should fade and lighten a few shades.

After this time,...

If the dye is mixed, you should not keep dye mixtures for future use. First of all, if you keep developed dye capped, it runs the risk of exploding--or even catching fire--as the ammonia expands....

Roman Holiday, with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn would be an excellent film for you to check out, or Breakfast at Tiffany's (also starring Hepburn). You may also like The Dragon Painter, which...

First--and this is going to be hard to do--wait a few weeks to see if it lightens. The dye will fade over that time to the color it will be, probably 2-3 shades lighter than it is now, and you can...

Do you know what line she models for? She doesn't seem to be one of his runway models.

While I don't know about Long 'N Strong, a friend of mine, who has rather thin, hard-to-grow hair, always endorsed Mane 'n Tail. It was the only thing I ever saw her use, and her hair grew like...

Go to a professional stylist. They'll know exactly what to do in one session, rather than doing it yourself at home and bleaching and dying and dying and bleaching until you get the right shade. A...

The best way to fix color is to go to a professional stylist, but it sounds like some toner will help fix your roots. Try ManicPanic's Virgin Snow--the violet in it should wash out the yellow/orange...

It's hard to dye over hair that dark, but I've had good results with Feria by L'Oreal. Their Chocolate Cherry gives a nice purple-red that will fade to auburn (this is the only shade I have...

I have this same problem. You don't want more bleach or a blonde dye, you want a toner. A toner, like ManicPanic's Virgin Snow, is a light purple "dye" that will cancel out the yellow in your hair,...

Hair dye will damage your hair, but this can be alleviated with a good conditioner (I recommend Biolage's deep hydrating balm). Given your past problems with dye, I'd suggest seeking out a...

If you're really, really worried, ask your doctor. :) But eating things like gelatin can help, as can switching to a better shampoo (until I switched to Biolage, I always clogged the drain, too),...

To apply a bright color like that, I'd definitely use bleach (try QuickBlue--i think L'Oreal makes it) and a 30- or 40-developer.

The best way to drastically fade hair is bleaching, though you can use things like lemon juice; bleach followed by a toner should give you a nice light blonde with no brass. If you're intimidated by...

To remove the brassiness, apply a toner, like ManicPanic's Virgin Snow.

I'd go to a stylist, because lightening hair is tricky, but you can try a bleach, like QuickBlue, with a 40-weight crème developer. This will help lighten your hair (especially if you do it in small...

While I strongly suggest spending the extra money to have a professional do it--blonde is a notoriously tricky color to reclaim--it can be done at home using bleach and toner.


You'll need the...

It is natural for hair color, especially dark ones, to continue to wash out and fade a bit for a few weeks after the initial application. Washing with a color-saving shampoo and conditioner from a...

What color do you want your hair to be after the process? Is the orange natural or a dye?

I left the full version of this here, but basically what you'll need to do is bleach your hair, then use a toner to remove any brassy/gold elements. Because blonde is such a hard color to do, I...

Blonde is a very difficult color to get back to, especially when you want to avoid orange or gold tones in your hair. I have very dark hair and bleach it to a platinum color at home--though I really...

Thank you!

This was the only thing I could find; none of the sites I searched turned up any downloadable copies.

When I was little, my grandparents rented an animated video (possibly an anime) for my brother and me to watch. All I remember about it was that the main protagonist, a male, played the oboe, and...

There was a cartoon released in 1992 called Peppermint Rose. I haven't watched it since I was little, but I remember there being bugonias in it and that they were related to the film's villain, who...
