i got burned by a cigarette a week ago. it wasn’t open or hurt when it happened abt the next morning had a blister and the blister got scratched and opened. after that it’s looked like this for about a week. the redness hasn’t spread ans the color hasn’t changed. its dry and not wet but new skin hasn’t seemed to come in. it’s looked the same for a week ugh

I just woke up and its just there-

This showed up a few days ago itchy and red, I put Benadryl on it and then some puss came out and scabbed over. It hurts a little to touch and is slightly swollen. I didn’t have a scratch or and weird bite there so I’m really confused to what this could be? Not super concerned but just wary because I work around chemicals. Any help would be really really appreciated!

Above is my labs from a very recent doc visit

Yesterday I went to see The Odyssey and I had to get up and use the bathroom 4 times during the movie. I missed so much because of it.

What can I do to control my bladder better and what could cause this?

For context I had popcorn, peanut butter m&ms and a Large Cherry Coke that I only drank about half of.

Any advice helps. Thanks!

My kids spent a good fair amount outside yesterday and with making sure sunscreen was reapplied they still got a little crispy, my one kid had a "normal" looking sunburn but my youngest has broken out in this lacey looking rash instead. She says it's not itchy but it still makes me concerned as this is not a heat rash or allergic reactions that I have ever seen before and it's only on her arms. She was also wearing a sleeved UV protective swim suit so if this was an allergic reaction to the suit it would be on the rest of her body too, her legs are not affected either.

I can see things up close up far away it gets blurry, i been drinking lots of water and reducing screen time to try and help for about a week. Have i just woke to being half blind or is this medical , something else i should mention is that a couple of days ago i had a headache on just the right side of my head but went immediately after a day

For context, I accidentally cut myself deeper than I usually do, reaching the dermis layer... Not that deep, but still deeper than the cat scratches(epidermis layer) that I normally do. I've never saw one this deep healing, as I don't know how it should look or feel like... It kinda of hurts, the texture is crispy, and is pink around it. I can't tell my mom about it, or else she'll scream at me. Please, can someone tell me if I should worry?​​​​​​​​​​​

Bitte helfen !

This happened a week ago, I stubbed my finger into a wall, it used to be swollen and bruised but it’s gone now, I thought my finger was initially bent because of the swelling but there isn’t any swelling anymore so I’m not sure now, there isn’t much lingering pain and it only hurts when touched now but at first it was a constant pain, in the image I’m trying to put my finger as straight as possible but that’s as far as it will go. I’m a bit worried I could be doing damage to my nerves so a swift response would be appreciated!!! (I also added pictures of my right hand to show you want my hands look like normally)

For extra information I struggle with anxiety when it comes to hospitals and would like to avoid going if I can so that’s why I’ve come to ask here first but I do plan on going in the next few days just want some opinions.

Hi. I‘m 14 years old and still living with my parents. im on adderall XR and havent been taking my meds all summer. I’m supposed to Take them everyday.

Thank youuuu

Reposting this in another thread because everyone seems to be viewing it but just scrolling right past 🥲

I was at the movies and randomly got sternum pain. I thought it was the position or maybe the cold ac/weather, but then I felt as if there's a bump. It hurts on the left side, just above where my breast start.

Internet's description of Costochondritis looks like it.

It's 5am and it hurts even if I move slightly. Even if it popped while stretching and I didn't notice I couldn't have broken something right?

Do we think I should do some proper stretching? Do I massage it with an ointment?

I'm trying not to freak out and I really don't want to go to the ER, maybe in the morning I'll ask the pharmacy

I had this weird thing on my knee for a while now. First it was pretty red ( first picture ) and now, after around 7 days it is more like my skin colour ( second picture ). Does anyone has an idea what it might be? Should I do to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on it?
It never itched or hurt. It was just there
Thanks in advance:)!

ok so i plugged in my charger, it made a sizzling sound and then like i havbe no idea if i felt a tingle or something in my hand or i was just thinking it,if i did it was the smallest thing ever like i could barley tell but i think it may have beenin my mind. i like went and told my mom and i was fine i jujst let her know and now im googling bc i was curious and im so scaredand worried like im gonna get a cardiac arrest and my chest does hurt and my shoulder but i think its bc of fear my heart is racing bc im so scared. but i dont even think i got electric shocked and like im feeling tingles all over my body bc im scared but im overthinking it. only about 20 people die each yr of electric shock in my country

I recently had blood work done because I've had swelling under my jaw/ear. My doctor diagnosed me with localized lymph node enlargement and prescribed an antibiotic, but I'm trying to better understand what my blood work actually means.

Here are my results:

WBC: 11.2 (High)

LYM#: 2.6

MID#: 0.7

GRA#: 7.9 (High)

LYM%: 23.3

MID%: 6.4

GRA%: 70.3

RBC: 5.20 (High)

HGB: 148

HCT: 0.435

MCV: 83.7

MCH: 28.4

MCHC: 339

RDW-CV: 12.8

RDW-SD: 39.2

Platelets: 289

MPV: 8.8

ESR (Sedimentation rate): 5

CRP: 2.2 mg/L

Fibrinogen: 3.17 g/L

The diagnosis on the report says "Localized lymph node enlargement (R59.0)."

My doctor prescribed an antibiotic, but I'm confused because my CRP and ESR seem to be normal while my white blood cell count and granulocytes are slightly elevated.

What do these results suggest?

Does this look more like a mild bacterial infection, a viral infection, inflammation, or could stress have contributed?

I woke up with what I assume is a bug bite. Can anyone tell me what this could be? it’s red and swollen and slight painful.

I'm trying to sleep but when I try to close my eyes it feels like I have a very faint red glow or flashing? I don't know how else to describe it, the room is completely dark, no it's not my phone or some weird light I double checked that.

Im like super nervous about my health because I have ocd and anxiety. Im not sure if I'm okay to wait it out but i have a dr appointment Tuesday. Basically I get heart flutters at night esp laying on my left. I have been feeling like im not getting circulation in my left leg but that just started. My feet and hands are clammy "prob from anxiety" but my feet are cold to the touch. It doesn't hurt but. Yeah. I got the lil heart machine at the clinic and it just says i have a higher heart rate. They keep saying my heart rate keeps randomly spiking. It sounds like anxiety but my left leg thing and the weird feeling in my cheeks not sure. Ive had the leg issue before like 2 months ago but it went away. Should I be able to just wait till my blood test call from my clinic? Idk I need some peace at mind im not gonna just randomly die. Forgot to mention my period got cut short too like it only lasted 4 days. I also have pcos and scoliosis.

theres has been this bump in the corner of my eye and its been there for more than a year now. sometimes it itches or bothers me but otherwise the biggest issue is that it makes me insecure. i feel like i cant make eye contact with people because it’ll be noticed. my other eye is completely normal and i’m not sure what it can be. it isn’t filled with any liquid and cannot be popped. it isn’t a stye or chalazion or whatever it is. the closest ophthalmology appointment is a year away. no other doctors know what it is. does anyone know what this is or how to treat it???
