363243 tn?1331033850 Hi, I am writing an article about PCOS in African American women.
Avatar f tn I have had acne issues for about 3 years now because i am allergic to something in the water where i am at school. I have purchased a water filter and the acne had gone away dramatically, but now i have severe blemishes on my face. At first i was using a product called Ambi and Crusaders soap and face cream that are skin bleaching creams. They both work well, but they lighten up my entire face rather than just evening my skin tone so now my face is visibly lighter than the rest of my body.

Avatar f tn s strong and effective, NizoralĀ® A-D is also safe for relaxed, chemically and color-treated hair. This is particularly important for African American women, since so many of us have to consider the special needs of chemically and color-treated hair. It's also a silk-rich, luxury shampoo that will leave hair clean, healthy, and smelling great. We take a lot of pride in beautiful hair-and don't want the hard work done in the beauty salon ruined by an itching, flaking, scaling scalp!

Last unprotected sex exposure to him was on Jan. 4th 2008. Him and I always had unprotected, but my very last time with him was that EXACT date. 2.

Avatar f tn Hi, I am 12 wks pregnant this week and I have not had a relaxer in my hair since before Christmas 2014. I was wondering if/when you African American moms have used a relaxer during your pregnancy journey?

Avatar n tn Hi, Too much of manipulation of the hair can lead to what is called traction alopecia.Traction alopecia is a form of alopecia, or gradual hair loss, caused primarily by pulling force being applied to the hair. The use of thermal or chemical hair straightening, and hair braiding or weaving are examples of styling techniques that place African American women at high risk for various "traumatic" alopecias.
Avatar f tn Okay so recently, I had a threesome, two guys and one girl, African American male and Caucasian or White female. I am really concerned, at first she gave me oral ,and I went in unprotected, I realized the fatal mistake and pulled out in seconds. I know both of the people in also and they both tested negative. But this was months ago. It is noted that before I even began my throat had this choking feeling... Now, I'm concerned. I have no fever , no rash or sore throat.
Avatar m tn From 2001 - Feb, 2004, I had protected & unprotected sex w/ appr. 35 African-American women, unprotected oral sex with almost all of them, and 2 that were on their period. Many of them were strippers, crack-smokers, or very promiscous. No needle-users as far as I know, but I didn't know many of them, so I can't be sure about their HIV statuses.

1310633 tn?1430224091 she says, to rebut the notion there could be less intensity for President Barack Obama in the African-American community the second time around. "The first history was that he won. The second history's that he won twice. So, it's not just about history the first time, you have to be concerned about the history for the next four years also. You can make history more than one time, you know." Her mother and father stand a few feet away, nodding approvingly.
