Does green eyes in a photo mean cataracts?

The effect has nothing to do with cataracts or any other malfunction of the eye. It is simply a matter of optics.

Green eye or red eye is caused by the light from the flash reflecting back from blood vessels in the back of the eye. The color changes when the angle changes. It is not unusual to see one green and one red eye.

The effect is worst in dim light (when you naturally want to use flash) because the pupil is dilated (expanded) more in dim light and more light enters the eye. It is caused by having the camera's flash too close to the lens, and can be minimized by using the "red eye" setting for the flash, if available. Turning on more lights in a room can help, too, as can using a lighting source that is placed away from the camera.

What is the hard lump on the inner corner near eye It is NOT on the eyelid just near the corner of the eye?

What it is is called milia. It is a keratin filled cyst. It is actually underneath the skin, so you can't pop it like a normal pimple. I've had two, both in the exact same spot. What is suggested is that you have it extracted (essentially popped) by a dermatologist. However, I did it at home using a sterile needle and clean hands. This could incur scarring or an infection, so I am not necessarily recommending home treatment. Also it hurts pretty bad and, honestly, it's hard to get the needle in the right spot since the skin on top is so tough. But it worked.

Prevention methods include mild exfoliation, less make-up (or better for you makeup and like products), and less sun exposure.

Causes include heredity, sloughed-off skin, sun exposure, and clogs due to oil, make-up, and the like.

In other words, it's harmless. You don't have cancer or any sort of disease. You basically have an annoying pimple.

How can you be cured from Humiliation?

If you have been humiliated by something you haven't done and the person(s) are just nasty then hold your head up and walk away. After all who IS THIS PERSON(S) to you anyway! People who harm other people by humiliation methods are insecure and immature. You owe them nothing! If you are true to yourself you can never go wrong.

People can call you names, beat the heck out of you, etc., but one thing they can NEVER take away from you is your integrity, your soul and your faith.

Stand proud and NEVER falter!

Humiliation isn't a disease, but a frame of mind. It depends what you did. We all make mistakes and sometimes we can really make some bad judgment calls and can be humiliated by our peers. No matter what caused this for you think of it as a learning field. We ALL make mistakes so we can learn from it so you have to figure out what you have learned by what you did. Once you have done this then you work on your personality and face up to what you have done. If need be go directly up to the people involved and apologize and some may accept your apology while others may not, but that is something you should do to be responsible for your actions.

The true crime of such things as humiliation, embarrassment, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, etc., is not learning from your mistakes. We will all make mistakes throughout our lives and it's how we handle it to better ourselves that counts.

So, face up to yourself, straighten those shoulders out, plant both feet on the ground and face up to what you have done. Apologize and take the consequences from each person.
