Don't Suffer in Silence
Patricia's left foot has had a bunion since she was in her early 20s. An earlier operation alleviated the pain but didn't change the appearance. Patricia has been suffering with balance problems and back pain and despite trying various homecures and treatments to straighten her toe, she finally decides to seek help with a miraculous new treatment that allows her to walk out of the clinic the very same day

i am 16 and sexully active , but i have noticed i have quite alot o extra skin around my clitoris and its getting darker, its embaressing having to ear a bikini because you can see the bump aswell , it gets me down :L
im only 14 but my pubic hair on my vagina is quite long and embarresing when we have to do swimming at school as it pokes out. i do shave around the top part of my vagina, which grows back after a day, and im scared of shaving lower down in case i cut myself. any solutions? x
Ive had that problem since i have 13, im 18 now and for years ive been trimming the hairs right down after each of my periods, once a month, this keeps the hairs in check without the risk of cuts or any other shaving problems. Its very easy to do, i just sit i the shower and trim, do be very careful and try not to nick yourself with the scissors. :) Hope this helps. x
Hey, Ive had that problem since i was 13, im now 18 and for years ive been trimming the hairs right down after each of my Periods, once a month. Trimming the hairs is an alot easier way to keep the growth in check without cuts or other problems that may come with shaving. Although, take care not to nick yourself with the scissors. It does hurt. Its easiest to hold the hairs up and cut near the bottom of the hairs. Make sure you watch what your doing. Hope this helps. x
This may not seem very embarrassing to many but to me it is. I have a really large bottom and have tried lots of exercises and diets and things to make it smaller but nothing works. I find it hard to buy jeans or trousers as they all gape at the back or wont go over my bottom. I have to buy pants 2 sizes bigger than clothes. I think I saw an episode on embarrassing bodies where some women went an a machine and lost an inch or so off their bottoms. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help as am really fed up now.

Im going on holiday soon with my boyfriend for the first time and im to ashamed to wear a bikini, as i have alot of pubic hair which has reached to the tops of my inner thighs. I shave regularly, however the hair is removed for about a day and then the next day it returns like a stubble and is painful to keep shaving over and i end up getting bumps and cuts. im considering bleaching them so that they are less noticeable as i have tried hair removal creams and im too embaraassed to go and get it waxed or to tell anyone. can anyone help me? its really getting to me and im feeling stressed and sometimes depressed about it as i hav no one to talk to about it :(
I would just go get a Brazilian wax . Don't be embarrassed the ladies are really nice and don't care at all. and it'll stay smooth for much ,much longer than shaving .
I think you need to bite the bullet and just go for a waxing, if your pubic hair grows that quickly maybe lazer hair removal is an option, and you can get home kits, they are expensive but they work a treat, alternatively, buy bikini bottoms that are hotpants or go surfer dude, or buy a sarong :)
i have excatly the same problem but its really bad and its now on the very tops of my thighd :/ i feel the world has come to an end :(
im 16, when i recentlty fingerd myself i found a fleshy lump inside which doesnt hurt normally, and have only recently noticed.
this is completely normal, honustly I don't know what it is but it is normal, but if you are still worried about it go to your general practitioner
i have hair growing on my stomach like a happy trail except it's not thick and i'm a girl. its a bunch of small thin hairs but definately noticable and dark covering my stomach. is this normal?
Yeah i have that too. Ive seen lots of chicks that have it. i Just shave or wax there .stop worrying :)
most women have it, the lucky ones have blonde hair, those of us with european backgrounds arnt that lucky, but i just lay in the sun and it bleaches it, men aint bothered about it and neither am i, i laugh about it :)
i'm sixteen and i have small breasts (34A) and one of my breasts nipples is very strange. it is inverted except for when i'm cold or aroused but if i'm just normal and relaxed it stays an inverted but my other breast is fine. is this normal?
In all honesty honey, you're totally fine. I'm sixteen also, and small chested but due to my wide back I am (36C) don't worry about your chest size in all honesty theres much worse than a slight nipple disfigurement that you'll need to worry about in life :)so yeah, you shouldn't worry at all. be proud of the skin you're in as they say :)
