I have this lump in the middle of my chest. It looks almost like a white head except it is under the skin and it is hard. It also has a strange smell, almost like dorito chips. At first I thought it was a wart but it doesnt look like one.

I am 17 years old and i love spinach. i eat about a can a day, and also take a multivitamin supplement every morning. i know that spinach is rich in vitamin A and i was just wondering if eating a can a day and taking a multivitamin would put too much vitamin A in my system.

Okay. So, I had my period at an early age, was bulimic for my first three years of being a teenager, and I'm growing really slowly. I'm 5'0ish I think. And I'm like 15. Ish. =D

My mom says that PROTEIN helps you grow taller, and that growth hormones are actually MADE OUT OF protein. So that means that whenever I eat protein, I'm eating growth hormones, right? =SSSSS Well, it seems a tad bit weird and strange.

Does PROTEIN actually help you grow taller?

What about CALCIUM? And which of the two is more important to grow tall?

And since I hate eating MEAT, which is loaded with protein, I take protein powder and nutri-protein (stuff that you make protein shakes out of), does that help as much? I mean, it should, since I'm basically taking protein and excluding the carbs, right?

ALL HELP APPRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE, <3!

My girlfriend told me that she put her boyfriend's sperm on her face so that her skin will be smooth. Is sperm good for the skin, is it true ?

is it okay to 'let it air out' I have washed it and used antibiotic ointment on it, but I was told to let it air out. I took my bandage off and it hurts.

it that . normal?
(I split my toenail. and the whole end of it looks like it is going to fall off. )

I do probably too often and the thought of people not washing makes me heave.
Potentially explosive question, but lets keep it light hearted...

I am experiencing the following symptoms:
*Pressure in temples and across forehead and back of eyes
*Dizziness/Feeling like i am going to overbalance sometimes
*Slight nausea (never actually been sick)
*Heavy head
*Tingling sensation in head/face/hands/feet on both sides on occasions
*sometimes feel disorientated
*Periods offeeling tired, when i cant seem to stop yawning

My functions are fine, i can see, hear speak and move perfectly.

I used to suffer anxiety attacks and chest pain/palpatations which i was perscribed beta blockers for, these stopped the anxiety and chest pain. I have had ECG's and numerous blood tests all have come back ok, apart from what my DR says is a border line underactive thyroid which he thinks will have gone back to normal when i have my next blood test in a few weeks. He seems to think its anxiety based and has referred me to a shrink, but i think anxiety is an easy diagnosis and an easy way out for him, im not convinced. Any ideas?

I just recieved my Stress Echo results..... as cardiologist are running a month to be seen I was curious as to what this means:

Cardiac Valves: There was physiologic tricuspid incompetence with indirect pulmonary artery pressure in the region of 38mm/Hg.

I am currently on beta-blockers for sinus tachycardia.... have had abnormal EKG with electricle ST depressions noted.

Cheers!
