I've had a mole on my forearm for my entire life (not sure if it was there when I was born, but probably not!) It's not really changed, but has some of the ABCDE characteristics. For example, sort-of assymetrical, irregular border (but an ovalish shape), color is pretty much the same but a bit lighter in the middle. Diameter is smaller than a pencil eraser, and it is elavated, but always has been and hasn't changed.
This picture looks quite a lot like my mole: http://www.skincancer.org/images/stories/dysplastic_nevi/d_nev_5.jpg
Should I get it checked out/removed, or am I fine right now? My family have always had atypical moles, but nobody in my family that I know of have developed skin cancer. I'm thirteen, can melanoma occur at this age?

Yesterday some on this forum suggested that I have-had OCD. I still check my alarm clock in series of 3, 24 times or so before I can sleep but other than that and some obsessive thoughts, I think I'm alright. My question is this: Last year I was feeling my neck and thought I maybe felt a bump. I had my parents, even my friends feel it to see if they agreed. No one felt a thing. I work in research and had been using radioactive substrates. I pictured myself with cancer over and over again (it doesn't happen in 3 mo of radiation exposure and I know that.) Anyway, I became depressed for 2 months minimally worrying constantly and forever touching and rubbing my neck.Coworkers noticed it.I would look forward to sleep for relief.I hadn't been to my GP in 10 yrs, yet I had 3 doctors I work with and my GP (finally went) tell me I was fine.I didn't believe them and continued doing this for a month more.Can OCD manifest itself this way?Is this common worry or is it possible I still have OCD?

However, do the eggs lay dormant and gather? Would the ovary burst from all the eggs gathering, or do the eggs just stop being produced since they can no longer travel. Serious answers only.

Well, I am 14 and i have been having sex for two years now. I really regret it but its like i cant stop. It has been multiple people and some without protection(about 3). Now I am getting bumps down there and they itch really bad. In one specific spot its really scaly and white. Everytime I scratch it hurts but feels good at the same time but the bumps turn into sores. Should i tell my mom so she can take me to the gynecologist or jus ride it out and hope it isnt a STD??? I really dont want to tell her! ALSO, what do gynecologist do? I've never been and im really scared. I heard they put their fingers up "there" and everything. I think I would go completely crazy and cry if some old man put his fingers in me. PLEASE HELP!!

If I buy a bag of weed from my local dealer, and instead of smoking it, make a tea out of it (like in the movie "Grandma's Boy") will I get high or just waste my money? What about "special brownies?"

I have been on my period for over 30 days! Have been given birth control by Dr. which is supposed to help, have been on it over a month (skipped the placebo week and went onto the next pack).

This obviously is not working! Dr. said to give it another month but I just cant get over the fact I have been told to put up with this for another month! I am getting depressed and dont think this is fair! I am only 27 years old, I have kids to take care of, this is not fair for them to have a depressed mom!

So I give this another month then what???

I am looking for someone who has gone through similar problems & managed to successfully treat this in another way other than taking birthcontrol pills!

Let me know!

Thanks!

My father that is 42 years old has rheumatoid Arthrits. He is on Methotrexate and Predisone. He has had Arthritis for around 3 years I believe, and he has been taking those pills for a while, although he doesn't take them daily, because he knows the danger of them. Will he be ok, can he die??

Please let me know this is bothering me.

Recently my cheeks have been really red. Some think I may be allergic to something while others think it is the cold weather. In the morning, it isn't as bad but when I work out, go out in the cold, or even wash my face (I put cleanser that is for sensitive skin), my cheeks become extremely red. Is it acne, allergies, or something more serious? I want it to clear up because it's really annoying considering that I have clear skin elsewhere on my face.

My mother, my youngest daughter and I all suffer from the same problem. Each month during our cycle, we vomit, pass out, have very painful cramping and heavy flow. We are told there is nothing that can be done and we just need to try to alleviate the symptoms. We have tried Raspberry leaf teas, Ginger Ale, prescription Motrin, etc but nothing seems to help. This causes missed days from work and school not to mention the suffering.
Anyone else out there have any advice?
