I have a strange lump on my arm. I had it for a few days now. I was hoping that it'll go away but it has gotten bigger. Can someone please tell me what it is. Thanks.

He's in his 20's, weighs close to 300 lbs. Every other couple of days he has a little chocolate, and all of a sudden he begins to regain his energy and his positive attitude. When he goes a couple of days without just a little bit, he begins to get irritable and loses energy. He also feels very fatigued and gets minor headaches. He's a great guy, but I'm worried.

I don't know where my son got it from but he is left handed. My dad, mom, me and my wife her parents are all right handed. I don't want my son to suffer with this handicap for the rest of his life and be made fun of at school. What should I do?

It sure is hard to put a good title on some of these questions. I am 29 and I have never had allergies but my dad said that he was the same way until he turned 40. Now he gets them really bad.

So for someone like myself who does not have allergies, does this mean my immune system is stronger/ weaker or smarter/dumber than someone who does have them? I understand that your system views these incoming bodies as potentially harmful, so they attack the bodies and you become sick.

I've had Fibromyalgia for years. Now I'm going through menopause and my FMS pain is worse, but when I showed my pain specialist, he said all the places I'm showing him feel like swollen lymph nodes. If so, it's everywhere. I've had so many tests, MRI's etc., and no answer. I'm super sensitive to pain. My liver, gall bladder, etc. are all fine. I do have spinal problems/injuries, TMJ and a bunch of physical problems. Also something with the last word of neuropathy? (Skin feels bruised everywhere). I know people can't tell without patient history, etc. and a check up, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has this pain. I also get very stiff after laying down for an hour or so and can barely move. It's extremely painful. I'm on a lot of pain meds, but they don't touch this pain. Thanks in advance.

My mom died over a month ago and she lived over three years after her diagnosis. I wish it could have been longer...

I've had seborrheic dermatitis around my nose, cheeks, and forehead for about 4 years. It used to be only in the winter, but now it is year-round. I think it started out as dandruff when I was around 8, and now I am 17 years old. I have acne in the exact same areas, making it difficult to use moisturizer to smooth the scaly skin. I have tried 1% hydrocortisone cream, dandruff shampoos to the face, tea tree oil, aloe vera, and over-the-counter lotions for contact dermatitis. I know that seborrhea is caused by a fungus. This may be TMI, but I am also prone to yeast infections. How can I get rid of the seborrhea? How can I get all the nasty fungus out of my body. I'm so embarrassed going to school every day with flaky skin.

Is it because the body cannot break down the sugar and use it for energy, but I'm confused because wouldn't that mean it gets stored then and not burned up... I always thought diabetes would cause you to gain weight. Please, somebody, explain!
