Barry Wilner  |  Associated Press Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Friday he sought alternative treatments instead of the NFL-endorsed COVID-19 vaccinations because of an allergy he has to ingredients in two of the FDA-approved shots. Speaking on SiriusXM's "Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers said: "I'm not an anti-vax, flat-earther. I have an allergy to an ingredient that's in the mRNA vaccines. I found a long-term immunization protocol to protect myself and I'm very proud of the research that went into that." Rodgers, who has been tested daily as part of NFL protocols for the unvaccinated, came up positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday. He said he didn't feel well on Thursday but was much better on Friday. He can't rejoin the Packers for 10 days, missing Sunday's game at Kansas City. Rodgers must have a negative test to return to the team on Nov. 13. Rodgers noted that on the CDC's website, "it say...

There are many reasons that you might have a bump that looks like a pimple on your nipple. It may, indeed, be a pimple, or you might have a blocked hair follicle or another benign bump. In general, a pimple on or around your nipple is not a cause for serious concern. However, it may be worth talking to your healthcare professional if you are experiencing pain, itchiness, or discharge. FatCamera / Getty Images Anatomy of the Breast and Nipple People often call the entire pigmented area in the center of the breast the nipple. However, that is not correct.

It is far more common to get pimples and other bumps on the areola than on the actual nipple. Breast anatomy is very similar regardless of a person's sex. While the size of a person's breast, nipple, and areola varies depending on exposure to hormones and other...

HuffPost For those who deal with dry, cracked heels and feet, the idea of a simple pedicure solving the problem is laughable. In reality, the problem of calloused, dry and even cracking or bleeding heels is something that has to be addressed daily to be cured — and even then, it's not always easy.

Advertisement "Once the crack has closed, you can use regular (but thick) creams on your heels. Begin by applying a rich moisturizer to your feet, let it soak in for a few moments, then apply a thick sock to trap the moisture in and prevent further damage while your skin heals," Engelman explained. "I recommend repeating this every evening so your skin can heal overnight while you sleep." If your feet are dry but they aren't quite cracked yet, Engelman says, it's much easier to prevent d...
