Weird Bump on Chest ~6 Months?

[hibiscus042.livejournal.com]

Hi rockstars,

I'm hoping some of you can help me out regarding a weird bump I've had on my chest since early November. I routinely get infected hair follicles as I am large-breasted and don't respond to heat or sweat very well, but these usually clear up within a month or so. This particular bump I've had for about 6 months now. It hasn't increased or decreased in size, and it's been the same pinkish/red color since I first noticed it. When I pull the skin around it taut, it appears to have a bit of a whitehead, although I'm not sure what could be in there. I've tried lancing it with a sterilized needle a few times, and my attempts at expressing anything were fruitless. I also tried Boil-Ease once after lancing it to see if that sucked anything out but it appeared to only bring out blood. Any ideas? It's starting to really bother me considering that it hasn't gone away.

drastically variable cycles - why?

[e-n-t-i-t-y.livejournal.com]

Hello! Looking for information or thoughts or possibilities about why my cycle is yoyoing.

At least since October, my cycle has been essentially flip-flopping. From the cycles I have recently tracked starting in October they are 29, 22, 28, 23, 26, 28, 25, 22, and now I am on day 30 and no sign of spotting or anything.

This is very unusual for me. My periods are normally either 25 or 26 days long with hardly any variation. I could surmise hormonal reasons for a consistently longer or consistently shorter cycle, but I just don't know what could be causing this drastic flip-flopping.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.
