Question 1

why do i have dime size round hair less spot on my chen that just recently came..?

Accepted Answer

Bald spot: This is probably alopecia areata, which usually shows up as round patches of hair loss. The cause is unknown, but may be due to an autoimmune reaction, where the body attacks it's own cells- in this case hair follicles.  For additional information see http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh000242, and your dermatologist.

Question 2

why do i need to chew ice alot?

Accepted Answer

Habit: We need to eat, and drink water, and breathe.  Feeling one must chew ice or some other nonessential behavior means it may have risen to a habit or even a compulsion.  Compulsions usually interfer with activities and tend to produce a lot of anxiety if they are nto performed.  Clincial psychologists can help with habits and compulsions with cognitive behavioral techniques.

Question 3

sex chatting with lover is good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Just between you two: The answer to this must be agreed between the two of you. That's sometimes easier said than done - since when you're in love you want to please your partner and may agree w/out knowing how you'll feel. So, it must be carefully felt out over time. In itself, it is fine but if it scares either of you, you need to take it slowly or let it go. Let love be your guide.

Question 4
