Increasing Height at 18 Years Old _Height Growth Potential:_ 1. _Genetic influence_: Height is largely determined by genetics. 2. _Growth plates_: At 18, your growth plates are likely closed or nearly closed, making significant height increases unlikely. _Exercise and Nutrition:_ 1. _Exercise_: While exercise is essential for overall health, it has limited impact on height growth after a certain age. 2. _Nutrition_: Ensure you're getting adequate nutrients, including: - Calcium: crucial for bone health (1,000-1,200 mgday) - Vitamin D: essential for calcium absorption (600-800 IUday) - Protein: necessary for growth and development (0.8-1 gramkg body weightday) _Supplements:_ 1. _Calcium supplements_: May support bone health, but won't significantly increase height. 2. _Growth hormone supplements_: Not recommended, as they can have serious side effects and are unlikely to be effective. _Realistic Expectations:_ 1. _Limited growth_: At 18, significant height increases are unlikely. 2. _Focus on overall health_: Prioritize a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. _Consult a Healthcare Professional:_ 1. _Discuss your concerns_: Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian to determine the best course of action for your individual needs. 2. _Get a health checkup_: Rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be affecting your growth or overall health.

I'm really concerned about my nose piercing. It's been 4 months and it hasn't healed properly yet. There's no pain, but it's discolored and there's redness around the piercing. Plus, there's this black mark and a bump that's not making it look neat at all. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
It seems like you may be experiencing a keloid or hypertrophic scar formation around your nose piercing. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration and bump, you can try using over-the-counter silicone gel sheets to flatten and reduce the scar tissue. Additionally, applying a topical corticosteroid cream like Betamethasone 0.1% twice a day can help reduce inflammation and redness. Make sure to keep the area clean and avoid any trauma to the piercing site.
