Do I have Growth hormone deficiency?
I am an 18 year old male. My problem is that I look very small for my age. I don't have beard or mustache yet, only little where my friends are shaving since 16. I am also not growing how a normal boy should grow. My height is only 5 ft 5 inches. I still have some milk dentition. I have only little pubic hair, that which arises at 16 years of age. Basically as an appearance factor, i look like im 15. Now do I have growth hormone deficiency? Actually my parents are against visiting the doctor for this case. The are scared that with the growth hormone injection treatment ill get affected. Please tell me what should I do?? Will i continue growing but late??or will I be like this forever? It not the problem that im not tall but the main problem is the rest of my features are still underdeveloped and im tuning 19 next month..Please help
Can I still use growth hormone?
I've read that growth hormone is a performance-enhancing effect and is banned from sports. I was diagnosed with growth retardation, since I'm premature (7 months), if I was born in the right time I don't remember but I think I would've been between 5'6 and 5'8 right now. My doctor prescribed growth hormone to me when I was 10 (when the first signs of puberty showed) and 4'7 and 87lb, now I'm 14, 5'2 and 112lb with about 4lb of lean muscle. The time I'm supposed to be taking is when I reach the right bone age and growth rate, and have my growth spurt, probably when I'm 15 or 16. I've noticed it's given me a slight boost in adrenaline at random times, which kind of makes me a bit conscious, especially since I'm supposed to take it before I go to bed. I would look like I would be a wimpy, nerdy Filipino kid, I fit the appearance but not really the strength. Right now I take 3.5mL of it, once every night before bed, when I first started I believe the dose was 2.5, slowly going up with each doctor visit. I'm going to try out for off-season wrestling and baseball for my school, and would be wondering if it would be right.
What can I do about acne scarring on my face?
I have a light to moderate case of acne. Usually it's not much of a problem, but over the years, scars from it have acumulated pretty badly, to the point that red patches would appear under my nose and on my chin, forehad, and nose.
Is there an over the counter treatment that anyone would suggest I use to lessen the appearance of these scar patches? Thanks.
How can i overcome self-image problems? Feeling ugly?
I'm 16, male and live in the UK.
Since age 11 i have been bullied for numerous reasons; badly shaped nose, heavy brow, dodgey teeth, cystic acne, underbite, awful hair, and the fact that I'm gay. All of these now really affect my life.
I used to just brush the bullying off, but now I can tell it must have sunk deep seeing as I have dropped out of school. My family want me to go back, but i won't. Instead I have been working and saving, and fixating on things to improve my appearance. I have started accutane for my skin, getting braces in jan, jaw surgery summer 09, and been for consultations with view to rhinoplasty and a brow lift.
It's gotten so bad my dumb obsession with my looks that I'm even refusing to see my friends in fear that they will judge what I look like now and think bad of me.... Funny thing is, i think SO BAD of myself for feeling the need to *do these things* to myself... but i can't help it because i see it as the only way to feel worthy in society.
All photos of me i photoshop where possible, I pull and push my face in the mirror imagining what it will look like after surgery... and it really makes me feel as if I'm insane!
I try telling myself *I'm beautiful* and whatever, but it always turns in to *YOU WILL be beautiful after surgery' etc. Then I smile and get excited for wanting to butcher my face? :|
i want to have fun and go out, and go to college and do things i SHOULD be doing at my age - but i always get held back by the though of me 'not being atrractive enough' or 'people are only gonna ewwww at you' so I stay home/keep on working withthe hope surgery/dental/skin treatment etc is going to make it all better.
My mind is torn. i know its bad... but i love the thought of changing. I dont want to have to do it... but then i do!?
I'm seeing a second physciatrist in Jan. The first said I'm fairly normal to feel this way... he said *nothing major*. I explained it all began with the bullying and he just kept going on about how i need to find a way myself to overcome the issue - 'stay occuupied, set goals etc.' even though I told him its gotten to the point my goals are to alter myself permanently!
What other options do i have? I would love it if i could come out of this mess healthy and happy and just me. Right now, I'm slowly heading to the surgeons butcher pad!
sorry it's so long. I'm just desperate. I don't want to feel ugly, i don't want to be insecure, i don't want to be self conscious, i don't want to go through life always looking to self improve, i don't wan't the bullies to win. But i can't see another option...even though I KNOW its wrong...
though it might not be wrong... cus i might actually be hella ugly? lol :\
dammit. >.<
