First, take a deep breath and calm....

This part of that page pretty much answered your question: a health care professional should be consulted right away.

Do that. See a doctor, and if you do have this...they will do something about it. It's a much safer option.

Sam, self internet diagnosis? C'mon.

I'm not sure why you'd think you have this, but if you're at all worried, tell your folks and let them have a look-see.

Agreed. But either your folks or a doctor is best. They are the ones who should diagnose something like this.
Not a website.

Moved to Hospital.

its all cool. pretty much 5 mins after i sent this post i texted my dad, and we talked (luckily he is a doctor) and then i went to hospital and its all good, turns out to be built up veins, which is safe/fine unless excessive build up

thanks anyway but dont take the piss for posting online, this is my anonymous/unonymous support as i dont like talking to parents or friends about private matters much.

no one was taking the piss for you asking on here about it, what people were commenting on was your self diagnosing using the internet as a source, self diagnosis is dangerous, because with the amount of things you 'might have' you would end up worrying yourself sick, and most of the time your fine, anyways glad everything is sorted :D

well the only thing you can do is get it checked out at the hospital. good luck :)
