Suspicious growth on wrist
About 8 weeks ago, a small, raised, circular black dot appeared on my wrist. It started to grow quickly, and eventually became about a millimeter in diameter. At that point, I was able to scratch it off my skin and after examining it, the growth was rock hard, and almost perfectly circular. I wasn't worried about it, but it came back in the same exact spot and is growing again. I figure it cannot be nodular melanoma due to the fact it scratched off easily, Fam h/o skin cancer 21 y/o pale male

Hurt on the head
I am a student. I live in a hostel. I am a lean and thin boy. So the elder boys make fun of me. Today one of my friends hit me on my head with his cap. In fact he hurt me three times with his cap. The cap had a metal strip (which is used for adjusting the length of the cap). The metallic strip was heavy.There is some bleeding from the scalp because it caused rashes/brushies in the scalp. I applied antiseptic to it. The metal strikes me hard on the head. Will anything happen to my head? Is there any chance of internal injury? Will it cause brain damage?

Long distance relationship
I've known my boyfriend for 10 months & then later we came into relationship. It's been 3 months of our relationship & now he's shifting to USA with his family for his further education. I am a very clingy person. I need lots of time & attention. And the fact is that when he will go there he will be too much occupied with work, studies & family. He won't be able to give me much time. I just keep on crying thinking about it all day long. I am not able to concentrate on any work. I can't stop thinking about him. We had conversation about it. He assured he will try his best to give m time. But still the distance thing is not letting me be at peace. It is affecting my mental & physical health. I am having my final exams and he is going at that time only. I don't know how I will cope up.
We both love each other but sometimes we fight like enemies. I don't want this relationship to end. I don't want him to get fed up of me.
Please guide me

Child hyperactivity issue
My child is finding it difficult to mingle with other children's and they usually avoid him to play with him as he becomes very angry if things do not go as expected, and sometimes if they say to him not to play with them he further becomes upset and show his anger.
Also sometimes if he finds his close friend at park he starts imitating and following him and later if he or she does not behave as he expects he starts abusing and crying at public places.
He is very normal during task we give to him, follows school curriculum well, writes in single sitting for 1 hours and plays very well with toys when alone.
I what to know how and which doctor should we consult for and is there a way to have this issue quickly resolved before he starts further realising of this fact and starts becoming depressed.

School behaviour
Hello doctor,
This is with regards to my son. He's 2 and has started play school recently.
He has been a very outgoing kid and whenever we take him out has been mingling with people around. In school however, I do hear from his teachers that he sits in a corner and plays with his toys when the other kids play amongst themselves.
While I do understand he's just 2 and don't like to put pressure on him, things fall in place in the long run, I do want to know is it a matter of concern? It's not that he doesn't like going to school in fact he likes to be there, but off late he's begun to cry a bit missing my wife, his mom.
Not sure if I am thinking too much.
Please help, a little lost on this one.

Asking for suggestion.
My father, whose details i have already mentioned, has been diagnosed with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma a couple of days ago. The local doctors suggest surgery as the tumour has already blocked a substantial portion of the colon, and is rapidly increasing. But since Ranchi, our city, doesn't have a hospital where the surgery can be done, we need suggestions as to which is the best hospital in India where the surgery can be done with the lowest possible risk. Also considering the fact that my father is 82 years old and also has a cardiac stent which was installed in 2011. Also, he has had a history of respiratory trouble. It would be preferable for the hospital to be in Kolkata, for the ease of lodging and finances are not a big trouble.
Therefore, i request your help on the matter for our course of action.

Mental Mystery
There is this friend of mine, who recently returned from the US and is disturbed on a serious level. He does not talk to anybody. Given the fact that he is an introvert, he used to have minimum conversation with people before. But now, he has quit talking to people and just doesn't want to have anybody with him. I have also sometimes found him talk to himself. Or this "imaginary" self.. He is not ready to share anything; just keeps smiling if he is asked a question. It's getting really hard to break him.. He has been smoking a lot and drinking too. The only reason he wants to hang out with us is cuz he thinks he can stay around us and drink or smoke. Since his parents started questioning about his recent habits/ drug abuse, he stopped caring and he has started smoking and drinking at home in front of his parents itself. We as friends are not able to understand what is going on with him and are worried. Please help.
