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.

I'm a 25-year-old woman, 54 inches tall and weigh 50 kg. My wrists are very thin with visible nerves, and my hands are overall slender. The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?

it's been 6 weeks since my acl and meniscus surgery - can i ditch the knee brace and crutches now and start climbing stairs normally?

It's generally advisable to consult with your surgeon or physical therapist before making any significant changes to your recovery plan, especially after ACL and meniscus surgery. However, at 6 weeks post-op, you might be able to gradually decrease reliance on the knee brace and crutches, but you should not start climbing stairs normally yet. Full stair climbing typically takes longer, around 3-4 months, and requires a more comprehensive rehabilitation program.
