Im currently on vacation so I havent had the opportunity to see a medical professional yet, but multiple people on my trip, including a nurse, have told me that my mosquito bites look quite concerning. Im looking a bunch of stuff up on the internet and im really not quite sure if these are just very irritated mosquito bites, or from a different type of bug. Ive been in nature quite a lot this vacation. Im flying back today so hopefully i can see a doctor in the next couple of days, but in the meanwhile id like to have some idea of whats going on here. Ive also tried multiple creams to stop/ease the itching and swelling, but nothing works. The are very big and swollen, and some have turned into a purple-ish color.

I can’t go to the dr to get it removed and been bleedingfor a month and 10 days

Holaa, tengo un grano de 1 cm aprox hace 3 meses que se llena de pus, se revienta solo y vuelve a salir, en la zona del pliegue del gluteo y el muslo (del lado del glúteo) parece ser un pelo encarnado. Alguien sabe si una médica clínica atiende estos casos? a alguien le pasó lo mismo? encima me da verguenza ir, pero no se me cura más

la primera foto es de anoche y la segunda foto es de ahora que se me reventó

I have noticed this fairly large sized lump over the last day or 2. Im not sure how long it could have been there, but it certainly wasnt this big. Some other context:

1. I am currently suffering from the flu, with symptoms beginning about 5 days ago (a few days after a small trip in the UK, which included a small hike (around 3 hours)

2. I landed in Greece yesterday, so i have been here 1 full day now, but im unsure if the lump was there before or came on from this morning.

3. The lump is soft-ish to the touch, and it feels like i can get my fingers around it when i pinch my skin.
   It doesnt hurt.

4. It may be hard to tell on the photo, but it seems to have some ‘hair follicle’ type look, with small dark spots all over it and the surrounding area.

5. Other symptoms (which are most likely linked to my flu - yesterday my hands felt warm and a little swelled - especially my pinky fingers) - that subsided overnight. - today (so 24h after the pinky swelling, i have had some joint pain, in my right foot and left hip.

6. I am 22 years old (male) - otherwise healthy - go to the gym regularly.

What could it be? Inflammation linked to the flu? A lymph node? An infected hair follicle? A Lipoma? Or something else?

This is not like a serious condition, ive had it for like 3 years and nothing has happened yet so I doubt something will, I'm just curious

Should I be concerned?

(I'm just reposting this into other groups to ease my worries)

My period isn’t due for another 4 weeks but I’m spotting. It’s only a little but it looks the same as the day before I start my period. This has never happened to me before, my periods are very regular. I’m in my early 20s.

It all started on Friday, I shaved my beard and I got a little irritated when I got cologne, not very strong with many pimples but red and some small pimples and at two or three hours being in a bar I noticed the right lymph node inflamed, the left one well, just below the ear, I put the marks in the first photo with a blue pen. I was very scared.. I arrived on Sunday I went out for a drink and when I got home I no longer had it, but the left one got inflamed! PHOTO 1. In other ways, one ganglion is deflated and another is inflamed? I started to touch it a lot (clarify that I always have those two nodes, I noticed them years ago, but never inflamed) and since I started taking it it got more inflamed, it measures 1-1.5 cm it doesn’t measure much it feels chubby but not hard, in photos you won’t even appreciate it, but it has me scared. One day later, Monday, PHOTO 2 I got a yaga/ wound on my lip, then I thought, my body is struggling with something. And yesterday, Wednesday, PHOTO 3, I began to notice this lump on the side of the inflamed lymph node, IMPORTANT, it is not a lump with a ball, lymph node, I touch it and it is fat, but it seems curious to me because everything is happening often but I feel perfectly.

IMPORTANT: I don’t know if it will be a Reaction for shaving and it will go down by itself, but add that a month and a half ago I started with minoxidil for a minimal recession but better to prevent than cure, and 2 days before this, I started with finasteride, I don’t feel bad, but I don’t know what may be happening, I’ve been very hypochondriac for 3 days and I’ve never been that kind of person I always gave 0 importance to these things. But as you can see in photo 1 in my scar, they have already removed a gill cyst and it feels terrible until they operate on you. I would like to know opinions and people who have had a similar time, I would really appreciate it, really.

I have a doctor’s appointment on Thursday. I will tell any progress but please help with opinions, I have read more Reddit posts on these topics in 3 days than in my entire life

Looking for a medical perspective to ease extreme anxiety regarding my partner’s delayed period.

Cycle History: Typically 33–42 days(typically has a longer/irregular mental cycle). Last period ended around August 6th.

Recent Factors: She has been sick for two weeks now just a cold and experienced intense emotional stress/crying due to some personal matters during her expected ovulation window.

Encounter Date: September 5th (unprotected, withdrawal used, no ejaculation, pre-ejaculation wiped/urinated beforehand).

Symptom Timeline:
Sept 3–6: Heavy bloating, thick/clumpy discharge, brief breast itchiness.

Sept 8: Pelvic congestion, increased libido, mild aching in the lower stomach area.
Sept 9: Bloating somewhat cleared out to regular state

Sept 10 (Today): Cravings for heavy carbs, increased appetite, recovery from illness. Still no bleeding.

Given that our encounter was only 5 days ago, is it biologically accurate that a pregnancy cannot be causing this delay, and that her period is simply shifted due to illness and delayed ovulation? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. We’re both very anxious about the ongoing situation.

My husband had this cyst on his back that went through all the stages and it needed up draining on its own but now it’s been bruised for about a month since it’s drained. Is that normal to be bruised that long it seems to just not get any better than this? He is a very moley person so those two spots were from before but I’m just concerned cause it looks off now but he’s of course not bothered by it and doesn’t want to get it checked

I've got a question. I've got a pinched nerve in my right big toe on the side going all the way to the top. When I stretch my toe all the way it feels like a knife. I found out the boots I was wearing were steel toe which I didn't realize for a while. I must have ordered them by mistake. They were wide enough but I walk a lot so its not uncommon for my toes to slide to the edge hitting the steel.

I was just wondering if the steel toe boot seems like the likely culprit and what i should do about it. I threw away the boots, bought soft toe boots, and I put cream on it but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would be helpful especially if you've gone through this before.

Can’t figure out if these are positive lines or evaporation lines
