  • Weird skin growth behind ear (Picture)?

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/64546272@N02/71683406...

    This strange growth has been there for as long as I can remember. I am female aged 18 if that helps. It doesn't hurt or bleed, but has been growing steadily over the years. It only hurts if I pick at it or squeeze it. It is soft and flimsy to the touch. I had it checked by a gp and was told it was a benign fungal growth. Later, I went to a dermatologist. She told me it could be epidermal nevus, but was not completely sure. Both times I was told it was non-cancerous, which is a relief.

    The dermatologist referred me to a plastic surgeon to have it removed because it could potentially deform the ear due to it growing larger. Her other option was to just leave it alone. It wasn't very encouraging to hear she didn't exactly know what it was. I just want to know if it should be removed and what exactly is it. Thank you!

  • Is this a mental disorder?

    Okay, so I feel really weird talking about this.

    Whenever I see blood, needles, hear something about that topic, I faint. I completely pass out and go unconscious. Everyone has heard that before, right? I freak out over needles and everything.

    I am not really sure when this started, I've been fainting since I was five and I have fainted about 16 times in my lifetime(I am 18). I fainted in a hospital once and they put me in the ER and ran some tests, etc. Really there's nothing wrong with me.

    The problem is, I am obsessed with it, I am obsessed with the rush I get from feeling attended to in that particular way. Whenever a doctor would take a stethoscope to my chest or do something of that nature, I get this rush. What happens is that I feel my heart drop a little bit, but it feels good. I crave this feeling often, which is really starting to affect me. I feel as if I have to have it. Whenever I get sick, I demand that attention. If I am sick and no one pays attention to me, I begin to grow depressed and masochistic. I come from a family that always says oh you're fine. They never really have been concerned any time I am sick. I think that's sort of where this whole obsession began. It's a combination of all of these factors, really...

    I daydream about getting stuck in a hospital. I recently spilled my guts to my boyfriend of two years and I just feel ashamed of this obsession. I cry about this often, I just want the thoughts to stop. I have never told anyone else, but everyone only knows about the fainting part. I just can't stop thinking about it and often have internal urges to self-harm to get into a hospital. I have no intention of committing suicide at all, but just wanting to hurt myself just enough. I am just really upset with myself over this and it's my fault for thinking this way, but I just can't stop. What should I do?

  • Is this a mental disorder?

    Okay, so I feel really weird talking about this.

    Anyway, I have this fear and obsession with hospitals.

    Let me start with the fear part. Whenever I see blood, needles, hear something about that topic, I faint. I completely pass out and go unconscious. Everyone has heard that before, right? I freak out over needles and everything.

    Okay, going on to the obsession. I am not really sure when this started, I've been fainting since I was five and I have fainted about 16 times in my lifetime(I am 18).

  • Should I wear this dress for senior pictures?

    http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb/Product.bos?t...

    It's really satiny, I'm hoping it'll be nice for senior pictures.

    Or I could get it in blue: http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb/Product.bos?t...

    The dress is a little shorter on me than the model because I'm really tall xD

    What are your thoughts?
