Urgent care or nah.

This giant bump has formed on my face under my eyebrow piercing over the past few days. My piercing was fully healed previous to the bump. It’s been steady growing in width and hight and I need to know of this is something I need to worry about. It’s warm to the touch and very painful.

I haven’t hit/ snagged the piercing or my face recently. Can I pop it ? Does this look like an infection or a cyst?

Thanks you for your time.

Want to get off PPI want to avoid rebound

So before starting ppi all i had was a tight throat feeling, and a sour taste in mouth. I have been on 40mg twice a day for 20 days. It is not really helping, and the second dose makes my head hurt so bad. I want to get off this as fast as possible. Is 20 days soon enough to cut to 40mg once a day for a week then 40mg every other day for a week and so on. How bad will i rebound? Please help me.

Laceration and 7 stitches

Does this look like it’s healing okay? I gashed it with a ceramic pot. Last photos is today’s. It’s tough because it’s right on that Bend so every time I move my ankle it stretches the skin. Do you think I should be in a boot or a splint? I’m a flight attendant. I’m wondering when I’ll be able to go back to work and if it looks infected at all today?

Anal trauma or anal herpes?

Last Saturday, had mostly protected sex with a random guy who was adamant he was negative and even acted cautious about me. Towards the end, he took the condom off and penetrated me for a few seconds then took it out and jerked off. He had no visible blisters or anything on his penis.

The next day Sunday, my actual fuckbuddy came from out of town and we hooked up with condoms as well. He’s HUGE down there and I’m super tight. I was taking poppers like crazy and he was a bit rougher this go round and even had me doing new positions. At a point we think the lube had dried out but we kept re applying it.

Monday, I don’t remember feeling anything but if I did it was probably mild.

Tuesday morning my anus hurts really bad to the point I walk funny and my coworkers notice. Later that night (as well as Wednesday night) when I was getting ready for bed and got a slight chill and when I slept I got hot and sweated. I will say my fuckbuddy had slept over both of those nights and he’s pretty big and hairy compared to me so maybe that’s why I was hot? Not sure

Since then the pain has kinda been stagnant where it kinda hurts when I poop but nothing I can’t get out. A tingle shots through my leg though once it gets out . When I pee there’s no discomfort through my urethra but of course my assshole clenches a little so I feel a little pain from there. It hurts when i sit full force on my anus and when i walk and gets numbed when I take Tylenol. Literally all of the pain is literally at my anus ( the entrance).

I put my finger in my anus and haven’t felt or seen any type of blisters or discharge . Putting my finger in doesn’t necessarily hurt, it’s when i pull out I feel the pain.

Just now (Saturday) I took a poop after all day and there was blood.

What do you think it is?

It keeps getting bigger

About three weeks ago I had a photo shoot outside and something bit me at first I thought it was a mosquito bite. But it won’t go away. Note: im 36 weeks pregnant. It’s extremely itchy and it got bigger that it initially was and now there’s like tiny bumps around it

Is this infection

Okay listen I know people are different in healing but my incision sights have been looking a little bit inflamed and then there's the clear discharge that showed up in the belly button area around Thursday,it's been 3 weeks post op of my gallbladder removed, is this an infection or is this allergic reaction...it hasn't been smelly, hot or no fever either but my gfs mom said to go too urgent care because it is an infection

Is this burn infected? Should I get seen or can I treat it myself?

Hi 26f, I went out dancing and the material of the shoe was rubbing my toe that it caused a burn. It turned into a blister that popped. Unfortunately I went out again and made it worse. Is this something I can treat myself or should I see a doctor. I have no insurance so I rather treat it myself if possible but if not I’ll go get seen.
