I’ve had it about a week, I went to the doctor and told them I thought it was poison ivy and that’s what the doctor went with and after I left I thought maybe it could be something else like ring worm, the doctor gave me steroid and a allergy pill for itching and mupirocin and I bought a fungal cream from walgreens, what do you think it is ? It’s itchy and honey color pus and it doesn’t hurt, it seems like it has gotten better from what I have, do I need to go back to the doctor?

Visited a physician this past Friday with throat pain, fever, and what looks like tonsil stones (see 3rd photo for reference). The doctor took a strep swab and provided amoxicillin to treat while waiting for results. Started taking the amoxicillin immediately.

Fast forward approx. 48 hours to Sunday, and symptoms are not getting any better (see photo #2). This being unexpected, I went back on Sunday. The doctor said the strep came back negative, and since the meds weren't working, to stop the amoxicillin ASAP. Took another swab to be sure, and the doctor said it was most likely Mono or a viral equivalent (just got back from taking bloodwork to confirm) and that all I could do was pain management. He also asked I book an appt with him again next Sunday to review.

I mentioned the darkening colour and asked if I should be worried; he brushed it off quite quickly, so I dropped it. He asked I stay home from school for the week and wrote me a note. Dkm, but my master's program is quite strict (if I miss 5 classes all semester I can't pass the course), so I informed my program office, asked for next step help, and went anyway.

It's now Monday (today), and my throat looks like photo #1. Symptoms are manageable with lozenges, mouthwash, and advil/tylenol, but the shrivelling of my tonsil and its colour have me freaked out. I am currently back in my university town, so access to clinics is more difficult, and I'd feel silly going to emerg if this is nothing. Should I relax since the doctor didn't seem too worried unless symptoms worsen, or is this bad?

Thanks in advance <3

Hi everyone, I’m kind of freaking out because I just found this random bruising on the side of my upper thigh/butt area. It wasn’t there this morning so I’m trying to figure out if this is an allergic reaction to something or if it’s more serious? I was itching the spot earlier a lot but just noticed these bruises spread like this

I am not sure what this is im hoping it is not what i think it is, it suddenly just popped up then i kept biting it because didn’t know what it was and it does burn and tingle here and there and a little bit constantly it slows down here and there it doesn’t exactly look like herpes but just a tad bit can anyone help?

I checked on the mirror it looks more like a bite mark like it is noticeable but nothing fluid like or anything like that , just looks tender and feel tender also a raw feeling.

Edit - it has calmed down and i dont really feel anything anymore it feels less irritated

24M. Im extremely health anxious right now and i saw that downward curving of the nails and puffy bases of the nail were signs of early clubbing. I have no symptoms as of right now and I can see the diamond but its eating at me so im posting here for either peace of mind or confirmation that I should go see a doctor.

I am 18/F I was looking in the mirror when I realized my pupils were slightly different sizes, I take sertraline and I have had severe migraines for years. I am going to a neurologist soon anyways for unrelated issues but is this something I should get checked sooner? (The filter is because I did not have clothes on).

Note: I went to the ER this morning. They went ahead and did a CT scan, luckily it was nothing tho they couldn't explain why it just started now. Either way I already have a set appointment with my neurologist and will add this to the list of things.

Does this mean I'm dying? Or have cancer? I thought I was on my period, but all this blood came from my anus.

I have been coughing green stuff. I had some nasty viral type infection back in april, finally survived, but for 2 weeks or so im coughing again some green stuff, sometimes it's less green. Is this an infection that remains? Im paranoid that it's some sort of reflux because I noticed this happens after I eat or dinning, but I dont notice any classic symptons of reflux like acid, burps, something on back of throat etc, so I don't know what's going on. I want to check with a dr but im not sure what would be best for this.

Reason im extra paranoid of GERD is this: Back in march I had a diarrhea with pain after dinner when I was in bed. I was with a girl and luckily this happened after. Frankly I should have went to the bathroom to pee or something but I was holding it. I don't know if this caused the diarrhea. Well the scary part is next morning, I felt like diarrhea was comming again, but it was actually blood. The blood was fresh. I have been since then paranoid that I broke something on my gut or something. I went to the hospital (social healthcare in EU). They did x-ray, digital tract, bloodwork, stool sample. All ok. But still paranoid something happened there that now is causing this. Or you would say this is related to the viral infection from mid april?

These are from various days:

I spit this cough for a while in a row

-Pneumologist

-ENT

-Other?

I'll either scratch my arm or poke it and these red bumps/streaks appear

Hi! I have had this for a couple of years now. Everytime I shave my legs with a razor I start getting so itchy that I feel the urge to scratch very hard. I end up getting bruises so bad everyone is so impressed by them. This also happens after mosquito bites and it has happened while I’m working out (specifically spinning). What could it be? I went to my annual check up with my GP but she just told me to use cerave cream. I still get these itching and bruises especially after shaving and mosquito bites( only on my legs)

Hello everyone, I have been having black specks in my mucus. Although it is mainly in the morning, sometimes I get these specks when I try to hack up my Throat or clear it. I don’t have any cough. I smoke weed regularly (about 2 joints per day) with some tobacco in it. Does anyone have any idea what it could be ? It has been happening for the past few months

I honestly don’t know what it could be. I’ve looked into so many different things and my mom won’t take me to the doctor or express care. I’ve had no fever, no pain, no swollen lymph nodes from what I can see and feel. It doesn’t hurt to swallow, it just feels a bit weird to. White spots came and some went. Not really have any bad breath either .

hey i thought its an allergic reaction so i took some antihistamines but its been more than 24 hours and its worse and i have more spots. its not serious enough to go to the ER but idk what to do. is it contagious, is it serious, can i go to work tomorrow and see a specialist after? in some places its itchy in some its not. i just wanna know if i can go work and if its serious

Doctors advised to wait and monitor. Any advice?
