I have a bump on my leg (side of calf) that has been there for several months. Initially, it was pimple-like and colorless, but it scabbed over and has been bleeding for the past two weeks. I'm worried it might be skin cancer. What could this be and what should I do until I see a dermatologist?

We have been trying to get pregnant for about 9 months with a miscarriage about 10 months ago. No luck and lately my breasts have been extremely sore from a couple of days before ovulation all the way till after my cycle. I have about a week on a cycle that my breasts do not hurt, is that normal?

My boyfriend gets raw and sore after we have sex. He has asked me to shave my vagina, and I am wondering if I have not done it enough. Should I wax or just let my hair grow back? Could this be related to a yeast infection or poor hygiene?

My son has an abscess on his gum below a baby tooth with a cavity that needs to be removed. The dentist prescribed an antibiotic, but it won't be available until tomorrow evening. I used warm salt water to help the abscess drain, which seemed to improve the situation. However, I'm concerned about the infection spreading and the delay in starting the antibiotic. Should I be worried, and what should I do until the antibiotic is available?
