fight the sack rash

Sackrashfilter- Guys help me out here: How to get rid of the dreaded sack rash? As you can guess there is An embarassing problem. I have developed a bit of a sweaty rash on one thigh close to my balls. I fear exuberant sexual activity and lots of exercise has exacerbated the situation. I shower daily and make sure that I thoroughly clean the area (which is about half the size of a dollar bill) and dry it afterwards. I am wondering if there are any creams or applications that help clear this up. I know that talc sometimes dries the area but I am unsure if this necessarily helps get rid of this problem long term.

It is not an STD or anything like that, justchaffing I think.

Snoring and epilepsy

Snoring treatments for people with epilepsy. I love my partner to bits, but his snoring is driving me crazy, and seriously impacting my ability to get a good night's sleep. (He has the wonderful ability to fall asleep at a moment's notice, in almost any situation - while I'm a spoiled sleeper who needs absolute silence and everything just right.) The trouble is, he has MS and a form of epilepsy that prevents him from taking over-the-counter snoring treatments - they all contain a chemical that, he knows from past experience, interacts with his epilepsy in bad ways.

So what to do? Earplugs don't offer too much help (my hearing is far more sensitive than I'd like, and the slightest noise - even heard through earplugs - can keep me from falling asleep), and I can't think of any alternative but sleeping in a separate room, which would be unpleasant and heartbreaking for both of us... but I'm tired of being so tired, having to stay awake until I'm about to pass out before I can fall asleep, then waking up several hours too soon, all because of his snoring. Thanks for any help...

I need some alternative treatments for brain cancer. What can I do after chemotherapy and radiation treatment have done all that is possible?

If you caught a cold this week
and hacked and sneezed and lacked some sleep
And when you talk you simply squeak —
How do you ward off bronchitis? The question is how to improve my immune system's performance, not how to improve my rotten poetry :-)
I get sick every autumn. I'd rather not get bronchitis, as it took me out for two weeks last year. I'm in the coughing stage of the cold. How do I stop brochitis?
