What is this pink lump on my Syrian hamsters testicle?
I have a male syrian hamster. He is probably about 6 months old, although i am not quite sure. I found a lump on his testicle this evening. Its on his left testicle. It is pink, not dark red. I was feeling around the area & even felt on the lump, and he displayed no signs of pain, or squirming. He ate his food this morning when i fed him & last night he was on his wheel for hours. He hasnt displayed any sickly behaviors or become feisty, but i am concerned about his well being until i can get him to a vet in the morning.
After shooting meth, what causes numbness burning and swollen knot at injection site?
It's your bodies reaction to having something foreign shot into it. Also it's a localized effect of the active ingredients causing inflammation as your blood vessels constrict from the amphetamines. Avoid using the same injection site often and be sure to wash and cover like you would any other wound. 4x4s and saline work good. Too many sticks in the same spot will cause blowouts and increase risk of infection. If it doesn't go away in a few days or you notice swelling to extreme proportions or leakage of smelly white/black fluids or growths of white cysts, go to the er. Say no to the questions they ask about recreational use and say you donate plasma.Good luck!
How can I get rid of a black spot under my foot?
Those might be plantar’s warts on the bottom of your feet. The black in the middle are “seeds”. They are highly contagious, and that is why the seeds are sown in showers ,wet damp areas. The seeds are what make it look black. I got the only one I ever had when I went to summer camp when I was nine. They had dank ,dusky showers and no one told us what to watch out for. To this day I always wear flip flops if I am in a pool situation or in communal showers. I did it for the entirety of my four years in college with a hall bathroom. Planter’s warts have to be frozen off or burned off with acid and unless it's changed, by a dermatologist. Mine took about five treatments. They freeze your wart area with liquid nitrogen and then apply the acid. It doesn't leave a scar that way. There is a surgical option but I have heard there is a potential for the wart to grow back. A dermatologist is your best bet. And it doesn't hurt. Its just very cold.

Why is it that bits of grey stuff come off my skin when I scratch it even though I exfoliated very recently?
In short, It is DEAD SKIN CELLS. Which doesn't mean that you missed it while exfoliating, it's just our skin Never CEASES in its process of Rejuvenating. Don't be alarmed, yes it looks a bit gross but it is 100 percent natural. Exfoliating every 3-4 days Daily Moisturizing , sleep, proper fluids & diet is necessary maintenance for a healthy glow. Btw, be gentle & don't Over Exfoliate. Being excessive and aggressive can irritate causing permanent damage to the skin. Mornings are a best time, while bathing or in a steamy room. You'll see much better results with the sloughing of dead skin. Things on our body can be quite disgusting, that's usually why you don't know about it. Some people are embarrassed to talk about this NORMAL STUFF, LOL. That's why I and others here are glad to help answer ANY QUESTIONS! TAKE CARE SWEETIE & KEEP SMILING-

I just got a solid black tattoo about a week ago and it almost looks like it has white and gray spots. why?
I just recently got a solid black tattoo on my foot, it's been about a week and a half since I got it and I can't help but noticing that it has some spots where it looks grayish or almost like you can see my skin color. I have read a lot about it and many people including a tattoo artist I talked to said it's part of the healing process and it will look better in a few weeks. Maybe I'm just super paranoid but does anyone have any input to give me?
