I have recently returned from a holiday abroad where I gained numerous mosquito bites which I had a massive allergic reaction to. They became swollen and bruised and left my legs in a state. Now the majority of scars have faded however a few on my legs have remained a dark purple color and looks like I have holes in my legs. I’m currently using bio oil to help fade the scars but nothing seems to be working. Any help or suggestions to fade the scars? It is really knocking my confidence and I’m repeatedly covering up my legs.

my son aged 20, is a psycho patient for last three years. Initial symptoms were low confidence, loss of concentration and split thoughts. He is taking medicines continuously. There was improvement in these symptoms but another thing developed about eight months ago, ie, he believes that his thoughts are being broadcasted and everyone in the world reads my thoughts. There is no improvement in this symptoms. Doctor has changed the medicines many times and also increased the dosage but no effect. About two months ago, Doctor recommended clozapine. But we did not agree to take this medicine due to its severe side effects. Alternately, we found another clinic dealing with psycho problems and told them whole story. There he remained admitted for 45 days where his psychotherapy and medication(other than clozapine) was carried out. Now he feels a little better. But medicines have no effect on him. Only due to psychotherapy and some brain exercise, he was made to believe that no one can read his thoughts. this technique works some time but not all the time. They also given medicines for one more month. these medicines include tab olepra, LG, Dosik, rivotroil.
Apparently, he looks normal but he refrains from gathering. In the home. he talks with everyone. He also meets his friends. He is neither agressive no creating any other problem. He only refrains from gathering due to belief that other people will read his thoughts. Now what should we do?? we have three options regarding medications:
we should quit all the medicines as they have no effect and do only psychotherapy, counselling, brain exercise etc..
we should continue the above mentioned medicines alongthwith psychotherapy even if these have no effect.
and the last is that we should start clozapine.
Please annalyse the three options and intimate the best one..
I am a 63yr old male and over the last few months I have been peeing blood on average every six wks or so, this problem has just returned yesterday, I am peeing pure blood and quite a lot, I have back ache and a bit of pain in my stomach. I am having problems peeing sometimes go fine and other times can’t go. I am residing in Portugal at the moment but have a months holiday booked for S. Africa this coming weekend, do you think it will be ok for me to go or should I cancel my trip and seek medical advise instead? The confusing thing is that this problem goes away for a number of weeks before returning. I have had blood and urine tests that have come back clear and my doctor said it could be a build up of calcium that can cut and cause bleeding which leaves me very confused and worried.
I do hope you can help.

For the past 4 weeks I have been getting the worst headaches of my whole life. The pain is so severe and the intensity is something that I can not describe but the worst pain known to humans times by 20 and its always in the same place on right side of forehead and temple and right eye. They mainly occur at night time by waking me although they can come in day time. I’m literally frozen in one place when it comes. I can’t walk or move hardly. They can last anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours and they are guaranteed every day. But also the right side of my forehead and scalp and around my eye socket feels very tender to the touch almost as if it is bruised but it is not bruised and I have not injured it. I’m really worried.
Two years ago I …. (took) entire very large bottle of generic tylenol. It took the weaverville hospital two days to figure out what was wrong with me. They then transferred me to Redding whereby spent six days before my enzyme levels reached 1000 and then they let me go home. They told me when I arrived at the hospital if I lived I would definitely need a liver transplant . for the past year my urine has had an odor that has progressively gotten worse to the point it us always there any more.and it is real strong. i am always tired. My skin is dry and itchy. I have always had mild constipatuon problems but that hasn’t gotten any worse. It seems like I get slight abdominal pain at least once every two to three weeks. I suffer from unexplained nausea frequently. I have already visited the doctor and i doubt have a uti or an STD. Should I be concerned about my health?

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
So, I recently discovered about a month ago that two vertebrae in my lower spine are compressed together (shown in the x-ray, vertebrae L4 and L5). Because of this, I could barely lift my left leg off the ground, it hurt on my upper/outer butt area. It was ok if I bent my knee, but I can not lift my leg when it is straight. Walking too much hurts extremely bad and so does sleeping(when I readjust). I started going to the chiropractor about a month ago and he said that my spine is probably pinching nerves on my left side. I ve been going there twice a week for a month and a half but some new problems showed up. About a week ago, my same left leg started to fall asleep. This happens everyday now constantly coming on and off throughout the day. The numbness/ pins and needles go from my upper left butt all the way down my leg and to my foot. I have no idea what is going on and I would appreciate anyone s help!
Some four years ago I had a tumor (GEST) removed from my stomach successfully. Ever since then I had severe diarrhea on and off similar to colon prep. Titanium staples were used to close the stomach lining. I have issue with gold and silver. My wedding band has to be removed every night since it reacts with my skin if left on too long. The question is: is it possible to have such a reaction with the titanium staples to cause such a reaction? Several hours before I get diarrhea, I have a Sulfur taste with burps from my stomach.
