About 1.5 years ago my friend found a cyst about 1.5 cm in diameter on his left upper back.

He got it surgically removed in the last quarter of '06. The doctors said it was benign.

Now, the cyst has come back again, in the exact same spot, growing below the scar where it was previously removed.

Does anyone know why? And is this something my friend should be worried about?

He is 32 this year. His mother died of breast cancer a few years ago. I have advised him to get the regrowth of the cyst checked out again but he is unwilling as he said the doctors told him that it is "unlikely to be cancer".

I was just diagnosed with Nerocardiogenic Syncope after failing the tilt table test because i passed out minutes after taking the nitroglicerin tab and now that i know whats wrong its scary to know that people with this diagnosis should not drive and refrain from anything that has to do with heights. So far i have only felt lightheaded and to the point of passing out but not quite (only during the tilt test). Is this something that can get worse? Does anyone have this condition and how do you manage?

Im 26 weeks pregnant and I had my top back tooth extracted last week and today I found out I have a dry socket. My question is what are the safest steps for me to do after I take out the gauze? Do I follow the same directions my dentist gave me when I got my tooth extracted or is there other things I should do?

Does drinking a lot of water counteract the negative effects of eating a lot of sodium? As a background I am a healthy 20 year old who loves to eat beef jerky, it is basically all sodium. I also drink a lot of water, which a biology teacher told me negates the negative effects. Is this true?

My toddler used to be OK with tooth brushing; however, the past month or so she will not open her mouth for me to do it. If she does, she immediately clamps down and throws a fit until i let go and have her do it. She doesn't actually brush but just sucks the training paste right of the bristels. Any suggestions on how to actually brush her teeth? She is getting back molars in so that could be the culprit. Should I be concerned about tartar and her gums from not actually brushing?

I found dry circles in different areas of my skin, one's on the side of my left calf and one's on the underside of my forearm. They're little pinkish round dry areas with flaky skin and sort of itchy... i've gone to the doctor but she said it's normal dry skin and i should just use lotion.

I've been using lotions but that doesn't seem to work, the circles are still there and don't seem to be going away. help! serious answers please... thanks!!!

Would a normal doctor at a clinic be able to remove a wart on your foot?
Also.. I know this is an immature question, but how do you bring that up with a doctor..
I'm super shy and its kinda of embaressing..
So Is it just like "Heya.. so.. Can you remove warts?"

My allergies have been really bad, constantly blowing my nose and thick mucus. I have this pressure pain at the top and at the back of my head. It hurts more when I squat down, bend forward, cough and blow my nose. Is this sinus pain? It feels like a pressure pain.

So what I do, is I make up a story. And I picture myself, and then I add people I actually know, and I just make up a story. And I think about it for about a half hour till I fall asleep.
Is it normal? Do you do it? If you do, what type of thing do you make up the story about?

I have had an ingrown toenail for over a year now, the first time i went to the doctors he told me that it would grow out by itself but it hasnt. I know surgery is the only option becasue it is not ingrown from the corner but from the side

It's not the regular type that you can just pull out yourself

I was just wondering what will it look like after surgery, will it look like my other big toe again? or will it be misshapen.


I know no-one looks at my feet but id like to know anyway

I'm 14 , and I haven't grown an inch since my 14th birthday. (2 months ago) I may have grown at most a cm, but really I dont see that much of a difference in height. I'm currently now 5'5, and my mom is 5'2, my dad 5'5 3/4. I weigh about 112 lbs., and get about 30min - 60 min of physical activity a day. I drink at least 2 glasses of milk daily. I've grown lots of hair all around. Does this mean I'm about done growing? Please, I don't want to be this short. I want to be at least 5'7..
