two bad things this weekend....

number one...i used fluridil at night, i didn't shower in the morning and i spent the day having a good time outside in the sun. Since i shave my head my buddy noticed something going on with my scalp half way through the day. He said "hey man, you have some yellow stuff on your scalp!...your scalp is all yellow!" ah, i knew exactly what he meant...i felt pretty embarrased and ran up stairs to have a look. I spent the rest of the day wearing a hat stopping from time to time to scratch and remove the yellow build up. It causes all kinds of hair to fall out too ..that sucked a lot.

number two... about a month ago i noticed a small bump on my right nad. it is on the front and is about the size and shape of a 1/4 of a b-b (like a pellet for b-b guns)...there is one and another small one beside it. I spent the morning checking it with my fingers and i noticed today that there was some slight throbbing later on in the day...ugh..what the hell is this? i'm really sorta nervous about it. any suggestions? similar experiences?

Well, hopefully it has nothing to do with testicular cancer, but sounds like you should have it checked out. Check out this blurb on testicular cancer. Hopefully its not cancer at all--im just saying to get it checked out.

Testicular cancer usually shows no early symptoms. It is suspected when a mass is felt in the testes, although a testicular mass does not necessarily mean cancer. It is important for men to perform periodic examinations of their testes in order to detect any mass at an early stage. In advanced cases, or metastatic testicular cancer, symptoms include lower back pain and discomfort, difficulty in urinating, a cough, and breathing difficulties. A feeling of heaviness in the testes is also common and there is sometimes pain.

cool...thanks for the feed back. i have been doing some reading and a lot of these sites talk about a "pea sized lump"...but when i think of a pea i think it is bigger than what i have going on here...it's much smaller...like the size of a b-b. I've also hear about the epididymis or something another where we already have a few bumps on our nads...but they don't describe the size.
