Can bow legs be fixed naturally at my age of 24 without going through surgery I've had them since I was young and wondering if exercises or other non-surgical options might help
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
At 24, naturally correcting bowlegs (genu varum) without surgery is unlikely, as bone structure is typically fully formed by this age. Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones

I'm really curious about the process of using microfracture on the shin bone to increase height. Can you tell me how effective this is? Also, how long would it typically take to grow about 1cm using this method? I'm eager to know what to expect.
Possible Causes_ 1. _Pimple or acne_: A pimple on the breast can cause a bump, and the white layer on top might be a pustule. 2. _Blocked milk duct_: If the bump is near the nipple, it could be a blocked milk duct, which can cause a lump or bump. 3. _Breast abscess_: Although rare, a breast abscess can cause a painful lump, but in this case, your wife mentioned it doesn't hurt. 4. _Other skin conditions_: Other skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or keratosis pilaris can also cause bumps on the breast. _Concerns and Next Steps_ 1. _Bleeding_: The presence of blood is a concern and requires medical attention. 2. _Infection risk_: The broken skin and bleeding increase the risk of infection. 3. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist or a breast specialist, to evaluate the bump and provide a proper diagnosis. _Precautions_ 1. _Keep the area clean_: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. _Avoid squeezing or popping_: Refrain from squeezing or popping the bump, as this can lead to infection or scarring. 3. _Monitor for signs of infection_: Watch for increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus, and seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.
