My boyfriend's mom brought me this cream from Colombia for skin discoloration. It's name is "Pomada Pena" and it contains 3 g. of Hydroquinone for every 100 g. I have an uneven patch of skin on my lower back and I'm wondering how long it will take for the cream to work? I'm also concerned about the risks of using it. How often should I apply it to my skin?

can a human get shorter as in height without serious injury such as losing legs or anything like that? I'm in high school(teen) and I think I got shorter. I think because my thigh bone went into my hipbone. am i wrong, am i right, or am i paranoid?

I have always had posture. My parents tried to help me, but I was a horrible little child and didn't listen to them.

Right now, I am 4'11" and I wear a 32D. My back cannot support my breasts, making my problem even worse.

How can I start working towards having better posture? My parents told me to stand against a wall and retain that position, but that is impossible.

I always faint when having a blood draw.
I'm just so petrified of needles, as soon as i feel it on my skin, i pass out.

Is there anyway of controling my anxiety, so that i don't pass out?

For me the worst part of the test, is fainting. HORRIBLE

this is part two to another one of my questions, i was in a car wreck 2 months ago, I had a mri and it just showed that the fluid in my spine is dehydrated, and then i had a xray done at the chiropractor and they said that they are concerned about the lower disk in my back. so if something is wrong with the disk does it always show up on the mri and xray

Okay;; So this house next door to me has been vacant for about 6 months. Now an 80 year old man with no car moved in. My mom found out because the guy who rents our upstairs apartment called and said his nephew was walking by and the man said 'why dont you come into the house and we can talk?' Luckily the 11 year old ran away. My little brother is only 9. And Im not even that old either. My mom is going to introduce herself to him and try to get his name so my dad can have his friend in the sheriff's office run a check on him. Im really creeped out. I know if he comes up to me I run but should I ask him his name first? Would it be okay if I said 'Whats your name again?' then he tells me. Then I sayd 'Um I dont know you very well so no...' And run away. Or would it be better to just run? Im nervous for me and my brother.

When I have been off my feet but especially when I first get out of bed in the morning, I am in pain when I walk. My feet feel like they have been crushed in a vice! The pain subsides to a slight ache after a minute.
I had tests-no vitamin deficiency or anything.
