Question 2

what is this strange sore in my mouth? i have this strange sore in my mouth on the left most inner side of my cheek next to my wisdom tooth. its this white pimple like growth that feels swollen. its also giving out this very stinky smell from my mouth. i

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you may be dealing with an infection that spread from a tooth cavity, which is called a dental abscess. These can become very painful when tissues become inflamed or due to the pressure of the abscess itself. Pus collects at the site of the infection. This can become progressively more painful until the abscess ruptures or drains on its own. This process can cause a very foul odor in the mouth. 
The more concerning issue here is the fact that you feel like there is something stuck in your throat. If the infection has spread to your throat, it can cause an obstruction (blocks your airway) and this is a medical emergency. Regardless you will need an urgent medical evaluation, antibiotics, and a dental referral.
Good luck.

Question 8

i had a pink mole/  growth on my head and i smashed my head on a cabinet and the growth ripped off should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine: I would not worry too much about a mole being traumatically removed. Perhaps it was serendipitous. Certainly be sure to seek evaluation depending upon how hard you hit your head to rule out other injuries. A topical antibiotic cream can help keep the area clean and moist while it heals. Whether or not the skin growth should be evaluated by a physician regardless of the injury is a different topic.

Question 10

Growth?: A swollen vein is not a growth. If it came up in one day then there is little chance this is a growth. If this persists you should see your doctor or have your parents take you to the doctor.
Best wishes.
