I'm 17 and for the last month or so I have had a slowly growing lump right below the skin on my inner elbow. It restricts my arm's movement as a whole and it's recentely turned a dark-ish red color and developed what kind of looks like a scaly skin spot on it. It's currently about 1 1/2 inches thick and when I first noticed it, it was probably about 3 cm thick. It protrudes from my arm about half an inch or so. It seems kind of iregularly shaped -it's not a perfect circle, but rather kind of lumpy and it's been getting steadily harder than it was to start. Any ideas on what it could be? Should I be worried?
Thanks ^-^

My skin gets really itchy when I do cardio to the point when it starts to happen I have to stop. I feel very annoyed and frusterated after this and I have to sit still until my heart rate goes back down and the itch subsides. I get heat bumps usually where it itches the worse but I notice it is on my legs, stomach and hands/arms. (like a severe tingle/itch) No rashes and the heat bumps go away fast (kinda like when you take a hot shower) My skin feels fine normally, hardly ever itches. I do not have dry skin, I lotion almost everyday, stopped using perfumes in my detergents, changed types of clothing, also changed deodorants and stopped using certain products like perfumed lotions with no change. Has happened for the last 1 1/2 year and I do not live in a dry state. I can't think of anything else that would cause this, anyone else have this problem or can think of anything I haven't? Did web searches to no avail.. thanks!

I have contracted herpes on my penis.

For the past three months my penis has come to resemble a baby ruth bar. It has affected my sex life, and just yesterday while at the gym I got harassed by a large black man in the showering area because of it.

It has caused me to get divorced. I have found myself waking up at night with sheets covered in bloody urine. So, thats it. I am cutting it off.

hi, about 11 months ago my neice fell on her bottom while rollerskating.. and ever since then she's been complaining of lower back pain.. it comes and goes.. and its not severe.. she can do everyday things. it just hurts most if she stands up staight or laughs or coughs. and i wanted to kno if this could be a bulging disc or herniated disc.

she also recently had a xray.. but it showed nothing so she's going to get an mri soon. but if it was a bulging disc or herniated disc wouldn't it show at least something on the xray? or do xrays not show herniated or bulging discs? if it is neither bulging or herniated disc.. what could it be?

Does anyone have any evidence / informed opinions on what can legally be done for a worker who has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (specifically a fragrance sensitivity), but works in a place that does not take the worker seriously? If it is apparent that the employer does not want to make necessary accomodations, can the worker successfully file suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act?

Please only answer if you really know what Multiple Chemical Sensitivities are, and take the question seriously. Ths is very important to me.

Thank you in advance.

I know someone who is having issues with excessive hair growth under the skin. She is only 35 and has always had clear, beautiful skin. Recently, however, she went to get a facial which then ended up bringing out hairs from under her skin. She pulled out those few hairs only to find tons more under her skin. These hairs very in length from a few millimeters all the way to two inches long and vary in thickness, color, and texture. They can be blond or dark and are sometimes like bits of cotton ball fuzz. Can anyone tell me what this is and how it can be treated? Thank you!
