I’ve been cutting myself for a while now, but no adults know. I just realized some time in the near future I’m going to have to go to the doctors for a check up.

What would happen if I went and the doctors saw the cuts (or if I stop, the scars) on my arms? What would the doctor do?

I have a bump under my kneecap that has been agravating me for about 2 weeks now. I am almost 25 years old and I know this spot under my knee has had this pain and bump before, but I don’t remember it in my childhood/teen years. After researching on the internet, it sounds like Osgood Schlatter Disease. What is usually done to treat this in adults?

If you’ve seen House then you’ll understand this more. On House-the TV show- they show how children – adults get these 1 in a million or billion chance disease. Everytime I see something like that happen to someone or hear that it’s happened to someone, I end up thinking that sometime soon it’ll happen to me. I wish to know the name of the ‘phobia’ that I have or a scientist/doctor/someone who I can contact to ask. Thank you.

What’s that disease called? It’s like the one Robin Williams had in his movie "Jack". Only it’s not like the person will grow taller and will look like an adult. The person will grow older physiologically, as in, he’ll get wrinkles and he will get diseases, like hypertension,etc, which commonly afflicts adults, people with congenital diseases, or those who don’t have a heathly lifestyle.
