i have been getting really bad hives that burn on and off since friday night. i feel very tired and week. I went to the doctor today and he told me i have TSS from wearing tampons last week during my period. I looked at the symptoms of TSS and i don’t have them. i didn’t have a rash, i had full on hives. i didn’t have a fever, i wasn’t vomiting and didn’t have diarrhea. i have never had hives before. i don’t have any known allergies, and i have not changed detergents or anything like that. i am very worried that this was just a random guess. is it possible that this is accurate? the nurse thought it was odd as well. They gave me shot and he wrote me a prescription. please help

Its healed now But i got a protusion/lump on the burnt area when its getting healed and Now its probably 2mm . How i can make it best normal & same as my skin color. What treatments are available? How long will it take?
Hello My …age 22, male.
I’m suffering from scalp dandruff like bacteria or fungal infection since almost 1& a 1/2 year..
Initially I didn’t knew what is it, as every monsoon I used to have hairfall but last year it was different and was very rigid. Losing abundant of hairs I felt there was something strange. I also tried to apply onion paste which I think just aggravated the issue.
Just 5 months back I had shaved my scalp and found a cluster of fungus poop like structure all around the head and I was shocked. Started taking some anti bacterial lotions for around 2week and left. For sometime it started depleting and almost gone however after 2-3 weeks it resurrected again. I don’t think there is any cure for this and surprisingly had also affected my younger brother and I’m too worried about it. Facing little bit of mental trauma not because Im suffering from this but because I have let it happen to my brother as well
Currently I am applying “Candid B lotion” because it just reduces it but I don’t know whether I would get any permanent cure for it.
Im started feeling that I never used to have hairs.
But one thing is that I have shaved at least for 4-5 times my head and its showing a good sign that it is as good condensed as it used to be before this infection. I’m literally fed up of this and I don’t know how far I can tolerate this thing, as it is affecting my studies , my career , my personality as a whole. Please help me, the specialist I met is too arrogant does not see the whole picture and just throws you out the clinic with a list of medicines and asks to meet again after a month
I have developed ringworm at the inner thigh near groin area.
I have applied few medicines but gave only temporary relief.. And the patch got increased.
After reading at various sites, I used fourderm cream which worked but left skin pigmentation and white patch near the area. I stopped using and switched to my regular cream clobet gm, the pigmentation has worsened and skin has become red at the white patches….
Can you please suggest a solution for the pigmentation and redness…FYI…I still have the itching effect for the ringworm.
Felt a stinging pain then a sharp pain and later seen a red bump it’s hard in the center were there are 2 little fang marks . I’m sure it was a spider that bit me but was it poisonous and/or should I go to the emergency room
I am a female, aged 27 years, I have a weird problem where on the my left eye, below the eye brows, the whole portion gets swollen and looks red in color. This happens every other day and it pains a lot. It slowly radiates to whole face, hand and and pains starkly.
I got the CT scan, MRI scan done for the brain and also, did the CT scan with contrast and they concentrated on the left lobe is what I understood. There also, the doctors could not diagnose anything but they say, yes, the portion is “swollen”.
Some doctors said, it is migraine and put me on sibelium tablets. Nothing seems to work.
FYI: I have thyroid issue from 5 years, and I am on the tablet Thyrox/Eltroxin 125 mcg everyday. Apart from this, I do not have any other pre-disease situation.
Please guide me, what should be done now.
I have this mole on my neck that’s been there for a long time, it has a hair that grows out of it that I occasionally trim but recently I noticed a burning sensation in the area of the mole, it’s between the front and side of my neck, I was just wondering if the sensation could be something serious from the mole or just irritation from rubbing against my shirt or my chin cause I sit or lay down frequently with my chin applying pressure and occasionally rubbing against my neck
in the late 90’s after a 2 day fast my tongue became fissured, horizontal around the edges as well as a line down the center of my tongue with cracks coming off that line. also white patches which reduce after gentle tongue scraping. indentations also around edges of tongue. associated symptoms include severe halitosis. i have tried medications(pasteels) and an extended course of anti-biotics for possible oral thrush, with no change. removal of tonsils for possible cause of halitosis, removal of wisdom teeth also for possible cause of halitosis. the one time i have experienced any change was when i was admitted to hospital about 8 years ago for taking too many paracetamol tablets over a 48 hr period, i had no idea they could be so dangerous. my liver started to fail and i was put on an IV drip and admitted for several days until i normalized. as a result of being on the IV drip my tongue regained a completely normal appearance- for the first time in almost a decade! dehydration issues?? i have tried to remedy potential dehydration by increasing water uptake to 2-3 liters every day with no change except a feeling of a dry mouth. i have tried various mouthwashes/gargles with no success. dietary changes reducing acidic and spicey foods as well as giving up smoking and reducing drinking to once every 2-3 weeks. with no change as of yet, ive started taking B vitamin complex and iron as a possible cause for fissured tongue(B12/B6?) with no change. the only thing that as worked absolutely(and completely unlooked for i might add) was being on an IV drip for a couple of days whilst admitted to hospital. i have tried to convey this to my local GP but am dismissed immediately! i hope to get advice on how to pursue the possibility of IV treatment as a possible resolution for my fissured tongue issue?. there is no pain associated with my fissured tongue issue either.
I am a female and I’m wondering if I can get warts located in the inner leg near the female reproduction area (aka. not in the vagina but the top part of the inner leg that is connected to it.) I’m 15 and I haven’t had any sexual intercourse what so ever and I’ve already taken all of the HPV shots required from school. Its not long or has a ”Trunk” like skin tags do but I can move it around a bit…I have one on both opposite sides of that specific area which makes two in total. It has a round shape much like the letter ”o” and I don’t know exactly what they are…whether they’re skin tags or warts. I haven’t seen a doctor yet because I’m still trying to get answers myself online. I’ve had them for quite some time now I can’t remember how long but roughly less than two years and they haven’t grown. I haven’t had any male parts touching skin to skin contact down there so I doubt it’s caused by that. Please give me your best advice…thanks.
Hi there. I have been using a glycolic acid cleanser and at first experienced great results with clear, even skin tone. I have now stopped using the cleanser as I began to develop hyperpigmentation issues. To my horror, I am now developing spider veins on my cheeks and am experiencing burning. What should I do?
My son has had a swollen lymph node in his neck for the last 10 weeks was less than a cm but now slightly bigger than a pea. It is on the left side halfway between ear and shoulder where cervical lymph nodes are situated. He has had no illness apart from headache and a on and off temp. He also has a smaller lymph node just developed underneath
