Question 1

just wanna know if i go to the doctors bout my headaches on the right size of my head. will i get bad news? as i get them regular?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell ya: No news is good news? Look at it this way: something bad caught early= we could fix. Something bad caught late= no chance. You are taking a chance with your own health- the wrong chance.

Question 2

whenever i get very bad news, for example a friend not wanting to be in my life to other things like death, the lower part of my head starts to burn i?

Accepted Answer

Psychosomatics: Well known to the Greeks. The mind-body interaction. Sometimes you feel "butterflies" in your stomach. They are all examples of psychological upset causing you body aches and pains.

Question 3

title news story said jj baby powder caused cervical cancer due to "talcum" in powder. was cancer caused from use on skin or internally?

Accepted Answer

Talcum unlikely prob: Studies show that talcum powder, which is a silicate like asbestos, is not likely to cause ovarian cancer. Studies investigated the introduction of talc on talc dusted diaphragms and condoms and concluded that it was not likely the cause. Correlation, not causation. The USPST recommends women get their pap smear and genetic testing and because HPV is associated with cervical cancer. See OB/GYN.

Question 4

red spot on right breast has like a tiny bit of what looks like peeled skin,no lump, no pain, been there for now two days, freaking out, i'm 20 and have a toddler,fearing bad news :(?

Accepted Answer

Rash: You do not have to worry, what you explain sounds like it may be a spot on the skin, some irritation or rash. Try topical neosporin for few days, if not better have it examined by your physician.

Question 5

could you tell me what are five symptoms of external head injuries?

Accepted Answer

Some can be: 1. Short term memory loss
2. Inability to follow semi-complex instructions
3. Forgetting the name of things you have always known
4. Outbursts of anger for little reason
5. Losing track of the day, date, year, place, etc.

Question 6

sharp throbbing twanging pain on the right side, back of my head. five days now. ?

Accepted Answer

Headaches can be: Difficult to diagnose.  Do you have pain, upper back or history of headaches or is this new.  Are you sleeping at night, ? One possible reason is teeth clinching or grinding at night called bruxism, while flexing back the head.  This can increase with stress and become a cycle.  Clonazepam at time of sleep can help.  It may be in the muscles of the upper neck, if otc med not help, see doc
gdluc.

Question 7

as i rub my skin it gets red and marks appear for five minutes. what is the reason.

Accepted Answer

Dermatographism: Dermatographism is caused by sensitivity of the mast cells in skin to mechanical disturbance thereby releasing local histamine and other vasoactive factors.  See a physician if you have frequent hives or swelling or heat/cold sensitivity as there are medications to help and underlying systemic disease may need to be ruled out.  If not, you shouldn't be affected in any other way.  Good luck!

Question 8

my daughter is five months old now and her head circumference is 42cm, does it imply she has a big head?

Accepted Answer

No, it's 50th-75th : %ile, depending on use of the who or cdc growth charts. More important than size ( within the normal range)  is velocity of head growth, which reflects brain growth; i.e., is it ⬆ing rapidly, dropping off or following a growth curve? The aap recommends developmental surveillance with standardized screens at each check-up. See the aap healthy child app & firstsigns.Org for details.

Question 9

my five year old slipped and hit the back of her head and has been having headaches since. should i take her in?

Accepted Answer

Need more info...: Without any other info, it's hard to say, but if it's just MILD headache and nothing else (NO loss of consciousness, confusion, acting strangely, nausea, vomiting, gait changes, vision or hearing changes), then it's likely normal response to hitting one's head on the ground and not serious. BUT if you're worried, OR HER SYMPTOMS CHANGE, definitely call your doc or go to the ER right away!

Question 10

i have some white spots on my penies head before some days i have only one spot i found but today i have more than five white spots?

Accepted Answer

Fordyce spots: This could be several things (that are not sexually transmitted I mean).  The first, Fordyce spots. They’re minute sebaceous glands and are part of the natural structure of many penises.  Second..Pearly papules are also normal. They are very small bumps, the same colour as your skin, but with a pearly appearance. If your concerned for herpes, or genital warts or syphilis..have a doctor look at it.
