Its like I have a rock built into my ear lobe, and it makes my whole side of my head hurt. Its small, but it has gotten bigger the past couple days..
Is it some kind of tumor and can it be cancerous or anything life-threatening?And how can I remove it?
Answer:
Have you had your ears pierced in the area of this bump. It is normal when you get your ears pierced that a "little bump" forms in the cartilage. If the lump is caused by piercing your ears, you can massage your lobe to increase blood flow and that will help the small lump to dissipate.If not, you should go see your medical doctor. It is not normal for a lump anywhere to start growing for no reason. I really doubt that it would be cancer but you still should have it looked at and the doctor can remove it with little pain involved.
go see your doctor or dermatologist
most times it's just a cyst (can't spell) it normally will come and go with how well you feel these are very common in women all over your body...if it become really painful or forms a sort of head (like a pimple would) then I would suggest a warm compress to make it feel better if it doesn't feel better in a day and you are still worried or it becomes red and inflammed lookign then yeah I'd go see a dermatologist about it...at the very least they can probably drain it for you so that it wouldn't be as painful..
Is your ear pierced? This happens to pierced ears sometimes. It's just a sack of puss that will eventually move to the piercing hole and come out. You can (slightly!) heat up a needle and stick it in your piercing and that will draw the puss out...or just use a warm compress (slower to work, but still effective) Unless your ears aren't pierced...then I've totally just wasted your time :)

Vomit count today- 6 times.
please help
Answer:
1st.call your doc and get this med called a suppository. its a type of med that goes up you butt and you sleep for a while then you wake up and you fell better.
2 stay hydraded drink plenty of water
well, u need to do the following steps
1. get plenty of fluids,
2. if vomiting persists, u need to go to a doctor,
3. u have to sample the vomit to know the causative organism, and take the most suitable antibiotic for example.
4. Blood tests would be advisable.
peptobisma
Go to the doc, you could be in danger of becoming dehydrated. Get plenty of fluids, drink clear things such as club soda, ginger ale, chicken broth. You can't cure a stomach bug, it has to go away on it's own.
First, to calm your stomach, you should drink a small glass of ginger ale. Keep yourself Hydrated and go lay down. Don't worry about eating anything. Maybe it may just need to get out of your system and vomiting is the only way.
Time my friend.

It is not a mole, it is big and kind of purple.can you tell me what it is?
Answer:
It's a cyst ... and it's actually a 'blood cyst' and shouldn't hurt ... but if you don't like it and it does 'hurt' sometimes, then you should see a good DERMATOLOGIST to take it out (not 'off') for you ...
a quart of blood! damn, what was it? a blood vien? Any way, go 2 a doctor!
maybe is a blood clog ... you should go and check it out ...it could be dangerous
I went to the doctor about some other things and he saw it and said, well you have a ... i don't remember what, but he overlooked it as if it were normal

I have a sort of rash that started around my belly button then went up my abdomen. Its dark brown. What is it?
It kinda looks like dry skin but i put lotion on it and it didnt go away. Its spread and its dark brown and not like one big strip it has like parts were its speckles and shows my real skin color though it.
Answer:
IF you have a really deep belly button it is probably a yeast infection. See your doc use the cream and you should be fine. And make sure that after bathing you really dry your belly button out to prevent it from happening again.
visit your doctor or urgent care.
Go to the doctor right away. It might be something very minor, but a very serious illness, meningitis I think, begins with a rash on your stomach.

I have sore throat now i'm producing constatiot slivia i'm constatnly spitting it out. I already vomitted is there a way to stop all the slivia?
Answer:
Please see a doctor! A sore throat in conjunction with excessive saliva is often a sign of tonsillitis and, in some people, strep throat. IF you have either, you will need a prescription for an antibiotic. As to the excess saliva, products to help are available only by prescription. Please see your doctor!

I have a sore throat, but it's not just sore, there's other stuff too! If anyone is good at this please answer
There's little lumps on the back of my throat, kinda yellowy-white-ish and it feels like there's something stuck in my throat right at the top... Does anyone know what that is? Please help!
Answer:
From your brief description, it looks as if you have AETP. don't be scared, it is short for acute exhudative tonsilo-pharyngitis. it is a form of acute tonsilitis, but some pus has developed, thus the yellow-whitish (exhudates) things that you see. the tonsils are lymph nodes, they serve to fight infection around the head/neck area.we have lymph nodes all around our bodies, some in the groin and the armpits. AETP is most commonly caused by bacteria called strptococcus, hence the term strep-throat. this condition is very uncomfortable, and in severe cases, the patient has a hard time swallowing soft food or even liquids. as some of our friends have stated, it is best for you to see a doctor, you may need a pain reliever and some antibiotics to hasten your recovery and prevent further progression. in the meantime, avoid sweets and cold beverages-these will aggravate your condition. hope this helps.
You should probably go see a doctor. Soon.Maybe you have some kind of infection, especially since your getting lumps in the back of your throat... and you will probably need medicine to get better.
Sounds like strep throat. See your doctor for a culture and possibly some antibiotics. Don't fool around with it, it can cause a septic reaction that CAN be fatal if not treated.
DITTO the second answer.
I agree that it sounds like strep throat. See your doctor asap.
It's quite possible that u have some kind of an infection. Go to the doctor as soon as possible. You don't want that to spread to other ppl or for it to get worse. They'll check it out and give u some antibiotics most likely.
yea sounds like strep throat. you need to go see a doctor.
Sounds like a bacterial tonsil infection (strep throat, tonsilitis etc) Antibiotics are needed to clear the infection so a trip to the doc is needed...The tonsils are a disgusting peice of tissue when you actually read about what they do, BUT that said they are good to have.. Try some chloraseptic (sp) we got it in the states last time we were there, tastes like bleeeehh but does a good job of numbing the throat. or any other OTC throat lozenge that has anastetic qualities. Try to stick to cold things like custard %26 icecream iceblocks, cold drinks etc to give some temp releif.Good luck !!!

I have a sore on my bottom lip from a cold I had a week or so back? what is it and how to I get rid of it?
ok, so I asked this question already. Its not HERPES, TRUST ME!! it kinda feels like a blood blister, and I'm sure puss has built up inside the sore itself. so, again...knowing alittle bit more info, Abreva is my best option.?
Answer:
Sorry to tell you that a cold sore is a HERPES SIMPLEX virus; actually, they are not caused by a cold at all. Viruses can remain in the body for a life time, and become active at will. There is treatment, but not a cure. If you have any doubt about what I'm saying, then read the following: Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) are two strains of the Herpes virus family, Herpesviridae, which cause infections in humans. HSV-1 and 2 are also referred to as Human Herpes Virus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2).After an initial, or primary, infection, HSV establishes latency, during which the virus is present in the cell bodies of nerves which innervate the area of original outbreak. During reactivation, virus is produced in the cell and transported outwardly via the nerve cell's axon to the skin.[1] The ability of Herpes virus to establish latency leads to the chronic nature of Herpes infection; after the initial infection subsides, Herpes symptoms may periodically recur in the form of outbreaks of herpetic sores near the site of original infection.Herpes infections are marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals. The blisters resemble those seen in Chickenpox 鈥?an infection caused by a third member of the alpha-Herpesviridae subfamily, Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), also known as Human Herpes Virus 3 (HHV-3). Lesions heal with a crudescent scab, the hallmark of herpetic disease. Herpes is contagious if the carrier is producing and releasing ("shedding") virus. This is particularly likely during an outbreak, although individuals may shed virus between outbreaks. Although no cure is yet available, treatments exist which reduce the likelihood of viral shedding. An HSV infection on the lips is commonly known as a "cold sore" or "fever blister" and should not to be confused with a canker sore; canker sores are not caused by the HSV virus.Came straight from Wiki..Paramedic in SC
Sounds like a common cold sore to me and with an over the counter medicine it should clear up, if not, I would run in to the docs office. Good luck. And I believe you! :)
t.
Yeah, probably abreva. There is actually no cure for cold sores, just as there is no cure for the common cold. Some medications can help but time is the only cure.
If you know its not Herpes you should see the doctor.

Answer:
Do you have a social worker? They should be able to tell you what programs are available for you. If your son is on Medicaid, look into Respite Care. This is where a nurse can come out to the house so you can get other things done. (I'm not sure if private pays for this too) This is where a social worker really comes in handy to help you set this up.

I have a son have a itching rings on his anal what is the best product to minimize or stop his itching on his?
Answer:
You need to figure out what is causing it. Have him tested for ringworm, pinworms or other parasites.
Sounds like ringworm. Get an antifungal cream like athletes foot cream, jock itch cream or vaginal yeast cream and that should take care of it.
see a doctor the cause is as important as the condition.
vagisel
Depends, of course, on the source of the "rings". Until you can take him to a doctor try Aveeno products, they work fairly well on a number of items that can make you itch.
Well this is something that you get when you eat something new for the first time. About a third of the kids get it. Is it throughout the body? This is not congagious and it is called hieves. Try soaking it in cold water and take showers 3 times a day.
I have a small swelling or lump in my armpit. is it breast cancer? im 19 years old.?
the lump is painful when i press it
Answer:
Doubtful that it's cancer. A friend of mine developed an infection in one of the glands that is under there, that sounds very similar. Make an appointment with your doctor to have it checked out and taken care of before it gets worse.The tumor I had never hurt when I pressed on it.
I doubt its breast cancer, but you should get it checked. I have had this happen to me once before, right after I shaved my underarms. It was an ingrown hair that got infected. This is fairly common, but if you are really worried, you should see your doc.
Get it checked right away...the doctor should do a biopsy.
Because breast cancer often spreads first to the axillary (underarm) lymph nodes from the breast, determining whether the lymph nodes contain cancer is an essential part of the breast cancer diagnostic process.
http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/lym...
What you're describing is your lymph nodes or lymph glands.
Any of the small bodies located along the lymphatic vessels, particularly at the neck, armpit, and groin, that filter bacteria and foreign particles from lymph fluid. During infection, lymph nodes may become swollen with activated lymphocytes.
http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/swolle...
This could be several things. It could be an ingrown hair, a swollen lymph node (which can be caused from a cold or even from smoking), or it could be something more serious. The best thing to do is to consult your doctor.
Also, just so you are not alarmed, it sounds like it could be a fibroma, which is very, very common in young ladies and benign. You still need to get it checked out.
Have it checked, most likely it is just a cyst, some deodorants cause this too.Go to the doctor and give your self some relief and I am praying for you...God bless you.

I have a small red sore on the bottom of my left foot...?
i have this small red sore on the sole of my left foot. i dont think its from irritation as it seemed to appear almost overnight. Could it be a verruca? feels a bit sore when i walk. not sure what a verruca looks like. Help please?
Answer:
it may be just a blister, i get them a lot from running. if it is only one red spot, then it could be possible it is a blister, you should probaly wait to get it checked. if it gets any bigger than it is already, it could be a wart or something. and if you touch it make sure you wash your hands so as not to spread it to the rest of your body.

I have a small lump outside my anus, and i think its hemorrhoids. it doesnt hurt at all.?
what can i do to get rid of it? i'm dont want to see a doctor, and i dont want to get cream over the counter. and i'm hoping it will go away after a week or so.
its been around for 2 days, and i got it after having diarrhoea.
Answer:
First of all don't try any treatment before doctor says that it is a hemorrhoid. Remember that he's there to help you and he saw many hemorrhoids during his practice.As for treatment Rue Care Oil is an excellent natural product for treatment of hemorrhoids. It shrinks the hemorrhoid, tops bleeding, strengthens the veins and so prevent hemorrhoids from returning.You should also define what is the cause of your hemorrhoid and treat also this. Hemorrhoids are caused by too much pressure put on the veins in the rectal area. The most common cause is constipation, some others are pregnancy, overweight, overeating, sitting or standing in one position for long period of time. Vitamin B6 deficiency, acid/alkaline imbalance, fatigue liver, genetic predisposition to weak veins can also contribute to developing of hemorrhoids.
are you sure its not cancer?go to the nearby clinic just to be safe...
wait for a few days and see what happens. If other symtoms develop, or you start bleeding you need to see a doc. don't worry about being embarrassed, they have seen it all...
den just observe it. if it's not bleeding den it's not haemorrhoids. could be a skin tract infection. if there is a linkage into the anus, gets bigger(may eventually hurt n affect ur movements, pain when u walk, squat etc.), den haf to c a doc... no choice. watch out for pus n blood, n other complications.

If you had the flu or ate something you're allergic to that gave you the diarrhea, that is why you have the bump. It will go away on its own. If you continue having this happen with constant diarrhea, tell your doctor and you can be tested for allergies, among other things.
could be an anal wart. go to the dr. or just ignore it.
going to the doc is a good idea.
Don't know, but there is a thing called anal cancer too. Don't put off going to the doctor if it doesn't go away in about a week.
Your probably right, it does sound like a hemorrhoid. As long as there's no pain or blood, I wouldn't worry about it. There really isn't any way to get rid of it, although often they disappear on their own. If you still have it in a few months, or if it starts to bother you, talk to your doctor. I know it's a little embarrassing, but they see it all the time.
Not all hemorrhoids hurt. The best thing to do is soak in a warm bath. Also using a hemorrhoid ointment can help with the swelling.
Doctor's have seen it all, they dont judge people for conditions like that. Just goooooo to the doctor.. thats the best solution, that way you know you'll have the best advice.
Hemorrhoids are characteristically itchy and painful. Go see a doctor. She'll have to keep it in confidence. It could be quite a few other things. Take care.

I have a small lump in my cheek...what sort of Doctor should I see (Dermatologist, Dentist, ENT)?
I can only feel it when I press on, or lick the inside of my mouth, as opposed to on the outside of my cheek (Feels to be the size of a large red hot, or small skittle). I'm going to seek counsel, I just want to know who to approach so as to not waste the time of the wrong sort of Doctor.
Answer:
You should consult with your doctor first..Cause sometimes you need a consult from your doctor to even go see another specialist as an ENT or etc...But I would think most likely if your doctor would want you to go see somone it would probably be an ENT doctor.
Primary Care Physician -- is who I would go to first, then the dentist (but we live in a small community and I like my doctors!)
Dermatologist, they do the inside of your mouth too
I would say a dermatologist...sometimes general health doctors diagnose what they 'think' it is. And since its not inside your mouth a dentist would be no help.
wow. you should actually go to just a general doctor first and have them refer you to a specific kind of doctor. cause its hard to tell what it is going on. But go soon
The General Physician.
And he will guide you seeing the nature of the lump.
Neither of those 3. The Dermatologist may be able to help.
Wish you well soon.
Because it is on the inside of your cheek, see the dentist. Either your doctor or your dentist can make a referral for you if it is something more than what they are equipped to handle. Good Luck.
you should see your primary care doc first, whether that be a family practitioner or an Internest it doesn't much matter. Your PCP will be able to decide whether the "lump" needs to be seen by a specialist or not. Somethings are very benign and very obvious such as small oral cysts, inclusion cysts or lipomas and need only reassurance. Some may be soft tissue masses and warrant further investigation. Your PCP will also be able to decide whether or not you need a specialist and who that might by by conducting a thorough history and review of systems. We have PCP docs for many reasons, and this is one of those reasons, so start there and good luck.

I have a small kidney stone and I have been finding white particles in my urine what are they?
I was in hospital for 10 days I was diagnosed with what they said was a small kidney stone, I stayed in due to exteme pain and was descharged about 5 days ago without passing the stone. I was told to drink plenty of water which I have been doing but the stone has still not passed and I have noticed since yesterday that there are small white particles in my urine, I am concerned what can they be? Also I have felt alot of pain in my right kidney and abdomen today does that mean the stone is moving? I have also been urinating more frequently. I would be grateful for any info. Thanks.
Answer:
The white particles could be uric crystals which form kidney stones. They could be small stones that were not able to be picked up on the x-ray. You're right in continuing to drink a lot of fluid. Yes, the stone could be moving. That's the only way for it to get out is to come out on it's own. If it were too big to pass, they would do a lithotripsy, break it up and then it would be in smaller pieces to pass. Additionally, now that you've formed a kidney stone, you'll be prone to getting them the rest of your life so even after this is all done and over with you need to continue to stay hydrated to keep the kidneys flushed or else crystals will form and new stones will form.
Ouch! I feel your pain. The white could be calcium or as a previous poster said, small stones not detected. You will feel pain as the stone moves, no doubt about that. Be glad it's moving, that means it's not stuck. Unfortunately, it will also eventually pass, and boy oh boy does that HURT, but it's such a relief when it's finally over.
These white particles are smaller stones that were not detectable in the original x-ray and or CAT scan. Keep drinking alot of water since that is the only way the stone will begin to move and be able to pass. Now that summer is only just a week away, you should drink all the time. Whenever you leave the house even for a few minutes, bring a bottle of water to drink. You are urinating more because your fluid intake is much higher then normal. That is normal, the more you take in ..the more you pee out.
Although, I am not a doctor I am a kidney transplant recipient so I do consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to kidney disorders. Feel free to IM or email me here if you have anymore additional questions.good luck
