I am a 37-year-old female experiencing fatigue, low-grade fevers, and overall unwellness. My white blood cell count (WBC) was low in January and has further decreased to 1.82, with lymphocyte absolute at 0.42 (low), monocyte at 15 (high), atypical lymphocytes at 4, and neutrophil absolute at 1.09 (low). What could these abnormal levels indicate?

I have pain and what looks like a slight tear on the pee hole of my penis. If I keep it clean and abstain from sex for a while, will it heal itself? Is this a common problem, and is there a name for it?

I have painful urination and discharge from my urethra. I believe I have gonorrhea and need an antibiotic to treat it quickly as I am in serious discomfort. I do not have insurance. What are my options for getting treated?

I had a sudden gush of blood during a bowel movement, along with a skin-colored round 'polyp-like' object on the toilet paper. I have been bleeding during bowel movements since 2010, but no abnormalities were found during my last colonoscopy in February 2010. Can this be related to my previous condition?

I am very fair skinned and tried a cream called Porcelana with 2% hydroquinone to lighten my acne scars. After applying a thin layer and wiping it off due to discomfort, my skin became redder and has hardly faded after 3 days. How should I treat this, how long will it take to heal, and am I scarred for life?

I engaged in intimate activities with a man a year and a half ago, including letting him finger me, making out with him, giving him a hand job, and having pre-cum on my hands. I also noticed small, clear bumps or 'blisters' on my hands and fingers that appear and disappear quickly. Could these activities have led to me contracting HIV or STDs, and what could the bumps be?
