I am taking thyronorm for a week, again skin allergy started, is it the right meds?

Hi Doctor, Hope you are doing good. I’m a 23 years old unmarried woman.
Recently I consulted a dermatologist for skin allergy. He asked me to take blood test and thyroid test.
My T3 level – 2.64 pg/ml ; T4 level – 1.27 ng/dl ; TSH – 31.810 IU/ml.
As per my dermatologist’s advice, I consulted a endocrinologist.
My endocrinologist said that my TSH level is very high and I should take THYRONORM 75mcg for life time (with change in dosages).
After taking thyronorm for a week, again skin allergy started. So I again consulted my dermatologist. He said THYRONORM 75 mcg should be given to people having hyperthyroid and not hypothyroid. I got confused after hearing his statement.
Am I being treated in correct way?
Is it possible to do a surgery for my thyroid imbalance?
Some of my friends suggested me to do Yoga breathing practices and take homeopathy or Ayurvedic treatment as it will give permanent cure.Is that so?

Sorry to ask too many questions. I have many doubts about the newly developed disease. But not getting proper answers anywhere. Hope you will solve all my doubts.
Thanks in advance

I have two cartilage piercings (piercing infections) that seem to be infected?

Hello! I am an 18 year old female with no history of significant health problems and no past piercing infections. I have two cartilage piercings that seem to be infected? I got them pierced in April and recently decided to switch earrings. While this hurt, I managed to get the new earrings in, it discovered that there were red bleeding bumps on the piercing sites. They’re still there, but now they’re not on the exact piercing site, and more so around it. I’m concerned they’re keloids or something. They are still quite sore and the bumps are still a reddish pink color. What should I do?

I may developed keloid or hypertrophic scar, which do I have?

I had a big hard lump under my surgical incision four months after the surgery.

I had my metacarpal sugery on 28th April to fix my fifth finger. Now the wound has healed and my bone’s alignment is good on X-ray. However there is still that big, hard lump on my fifth knuckle, where the incision is. I am very worried and my surgeon suggest me to do scar message and come back to him in late Oct.

After searching online I realised I may developed keloid or hypertrophic scar. However I would like to figure out which is the one I have (their degree of harm are fundamentally different I guess).

I am 21 years old, male, Asian.

Thank you very much.

Scratched by cat, received repetitive doses of rabipur vaccine, any need for more or too many?

My mother got scratched by a cat on right hand that resulted in a small bleeding wound (on April 18th 2016).Wound was cleaned with water and soap immediately and dettol applied. The physician I consulted asked me to give her rabipur vaccine. Since rabipur was not available in my locality, I brought it from a wholesaler on april 18th night but forgot to keep the vaccine in fridge. On 19th April (day 0), Rabipur was given to my mother (but the vaccine was not kept in fridge overnight), on 22nd April (day 3), she took XPRAB vero cell rabies vaccine (as rabipur was out of supply), on 26th April (day 7) she completely missed the dose, on 3rd May (day 14) she took rabipur at Govt, Hospital. I consulted the physician again and he told me that since the taken doses are all messed up, he asked me to repeat the doses again for my mother on day 0, day 3 ,day 7 and day 14, since rabipur was available this time, so my mother again took rabipur injections in a local pharmacy on 10th May, 13th May, 17th May and 25th May 2016, last dose ‘day 14’ delayed by 1 day as she had fever .In total ,she took 7 vaccines ,now what happened yesterday she was scratched by our pet cat on finger, there was small blood and it was cleaned immediately, the cat is vaccinated this year in march ’16 and June ’16, though the consulting doctor said there is no need for further vaccines, but i still gave her one booster dose today,does she need to take further booster dose of anti rabies vaccine as I read Post-exposure prophylaxis of persons previously appropriately immunized with rabies vaccine consists of: local wound treatment and two 1.0 mL IM doses of rabies vaccine given on days 0 and 3rd, pls suggest.

I have this small bump at the inner corner of my left eye, is it cancer?

Hi, I’m 31yo male. I have this small bump at the inner corner of my left eye(refer to the attached image). I noticed it around 2-3 years ago, it was very tiny at that time, so I didn’t bother it. But it definitely grows bigger after a while, although it doesn’t affect my daily life but I’m starting to feel its presence If I’m very focus.

It is absolutely painless, but I’m still very worry after seeing how much it grows in size. I would like know what it is, and is this thing cancerous?

I have been experiencing constant chills, reflux laryngitis is it STDs or flu shot side effects?

I am a 20 year old female. I have the same and first sexual partner for almost 4 years now. We performed oral and he ejaculated in my mouth when I had burning in one tooth gum. Now I have been experiencing constant chills & sometimes night sweats for almost 2 weeks. I have reflux laryngitis that I am currently dealing with as well. But I also took an influenza seasonal vaccine a week before. Could this be HIV or side affect of the flu shot or laryngitis?

I wake myself up at night, I feel myself pausing on my breath then breathing again

27, Female, No bad medical history

I’ve always been healthy and every time I go to doctors they always tell me I’m healthy. I’ve never had surgery or anything worse than a fever.

I have been a vegetarian for 2 years. I take multi vitamins, iron supplements and B12.

I rarely exercise or move around much, but lately I try to exercise little by little.

Lately I would get random coughs about once or twice a week but I’m not sick. Also lately these past few days my nose is clogged but its not running. My breathing has become shallow that I have a hard time falling asleep. I fell asleep a few hours ago for a few mins then woke up because I felt myself pausing on my breath then breathing again. These have not happened to me before. So is it from lack of exercise or something is wrong with me?

Also I had my blood checked last month and they said I’m healthy

I have ecoli vaginitis will it cure itself if I stopped antibiotics?

I have been suffering from ecoli vaginitis for few months. I first noticed some greenish vaginal discharge after a course of augmentin (around 10days) for theUTI. After that, the doctor did a vaginal swab for me(the report said its high vaginal swab, but the doctor did not use the speculum), the report showed ecoli and candida. Candida was then treated, but ecoli remained after a course of flagyl and levofloxacin. The second report also showed it was resistant to flagyl, levofloxacin and another first line antibiotics eg augmentin and ampicillin. Then I took a course of septrin, the last report showed it is also resistant to septrin but don’t know why it is sensitive to augmentin again, no clue cell with trace gram +ve and -ve rods, 1+ wbc and epithelial cells. The doctor advised me just leave it alone because she predicted ecoli will get resistant again after another course of oral antibiotics. I don’t have much symptoms except some on and off abd pain, vaginal discomfort and discharge. But I am so afraid and reluctant to have sex since I am worried having sex will make it worse and cause PID and also worried about the future pregnancy. I have an assumption that if ecoli infection is caused by the lowered number of lactobacilli, is it possible it will get cured by self if I stopped antibiotics and the normal flora reestablishes my self?
