Answer 1

Bump on skin: May be infection1 inch is large Does it hurt/ becuase it may need to be opened and pus removed and antibiotics given. Alternatively could be allergic reaction to bug/environment but at 1 inch would still give antibiotics .would go to urgent care /doctor and have it checked out. today

Answer 2

Bug bite: sounds like a bug bite with residual inflammation. Try applying hydrocortisone ointment twice a day for several days and see if it goes away. If not away in 1 week. see pcp

Answer 3

Yes: Any use of tobacco increases the risk of cancer, at multiple sites in the body.

Answer 4

Maybe: It isn't as great a risk factor as cigarettes but the risk is there. The answer depends on what your definition of high risk is.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 6

TMJ disorder: A locked jaw is usually due to a temporomandibular joint that is injured or displaced. This could happen when you are ill from clenching too much, or a wide yawn if you already have aproblem with the joint. Go see an ent. If severe a few days of a steroid will help, then you may need an occlusion splint made by a dentist.

Answer 7

Inflammation: Inflammation of some type. If it doesn't heal, you should visit your doctor.

Answer 8

Need exam to assess: You likly only sustained soft tissue trauma or a bruise from the force dissipated onto your elbow when the air bag deployed. A thorough examination, possible x-rays, and even an MRI may be used to figure out exactly what was injured.

Answer 9

Mouth guards: Almost every dentist can make you a custom mouth guard. You shouldn't buy a mouth guard that is not made for you specifically or it can cause problems. Just like one size fits all shoes aren't a good idea.

Answer 10

Dentist or pharmacy: You can find a generic type of grinding appliance at most pharmacies. They often need to be adjusted by you at home. The dentist can also make you a custom bite guard. There are a variety of types depending on the dentist's preference based on your problem.
