Embarrassing Teenage Bodies

Oct 27, 2009

In late 2008 the Embarrassing Bodies doctors hit the road with a new series that exposed teenager’s worst habits and revealed the truth about what goes on behind your kid’s bedroom door. Whether it’s at festivals, universities, schools or on the beaches of Magaluf…this generation of teenagers comes with a health warning! The doctors have brought some of their most important cases back to the clinic to get an update on their progress, whilst Dr Christian has reported back on the thousands of questions that were left online.

The Embarrassing Bodies doctors are returning to meet some of the teenagers who they last met in the Summer of 2008 to see whether they have overcome their embarrassment.

This week’s episode focuses on boys, the doctors are itching to find out whether Nathan’s Acne has cleared up, and whether Martin’s man-boobs have been given the heave-ho. The docs have headed down to Newquay to find out what boys on a jolly by the seaside like to get up to. First through the tent doors is 17-year old Tom, who’s found a worrying lump on his testicle and wants Dr Dawn to check it out.

In the final episode of this series, the doctors were on a mission to tackle a national crisis. With British teenagers having the worst sexual health in Western Europe, STIs are an increasing problem. The doctors hit the streets of Manchester during freshers week to find out what a first taste of freedom is doing to a generation of young adults.

This week the doctors take the mobile clinic to Sheffield to examine some of the students at Sheffield Hallam University. First up is Jameel, who is concerned about a few unsightly lumps on his scrotum which both he and his girlfriend find unpleasant. Luckily, Dr Christian recognises them immediately as scrotal cysts. Cysts are smooth round lumps filled with a white substance called sebum.

The mobile clinic rolls into the West Midlands for Boys vs Girls. Dr Christian meets Kate, who's worried about having an extra hole above her anus, and Luke who has asymmetrical testicles. Dr Dawn meets 19-year-old Jodie, who's struggling with bad breath from regurgitating in her mouth after meals. Dr Pixie visits at a secondary school to warn against the dangers of smoking and conducts spot tests to see which teen students have been having a crafty fag behind the bike sheds.

This week the Doctors are at Wakestock to help out teens with festival ailments. First up in the mobile clinic is 18 year old Alex, who has been left with quite a bad burn on his bottom after being the victim of a practical joke. Dr Christian does not see the funny side of this, and after having a quick look he tells Alex that the most important thing is to keep the burn clean and dry to avoid any scarring.

The first case that the doctor’s see this week is 18-year old Kayley who suffered from depression and is covered in the scars that resulted from her self-harming. One scar in particular is very big and Dr Christian sends her to a surgeon to see if they can remove the scar tissue. Having received counselling, Kayley is on the mend, but it is estimated that 1 in 15 teens might be self-harming. Having removed the scar, Kayley returns to see Dr Christian with a noticeable improvement. She’s also been to a camouflage make-up artist who has been able to recommend a set of make-up that will help her cover up her scars.
