I have a dry spot on my skin on the inside of my arm below the elbow (about the size of half of my baby finger fingernail). It does not itch. When I rubbed it last week, it became very red - more around the edges. I had the same thing about 6 weeks ago on my other arm that is completely gone now. What is this? It is not a bug bite and I didn't hurt myself. They both just seemed like a very dry spot of skin - then became very red when touched.

How much coffee is too much?

My vagina is peeling without discharge and it does not hurt. I have been dealing with this issue on and off. I was diagnosed with HSV-2 in 2010. I went swimming for about 30 minutes to an hour and take baths three times a day due to sweating. How can I address the peeling and excessive sweating?

I have a very large, painful bump near the labia minor that appears to be filled with pus or infection and has a dark spot. I'm unsure whether to try home treatment (hot packs, boil meds, and antibiotic ointment) or visit a doctor. I'm also unsure which type of doctor would treat this. I'm allergic to ceclur and bactrim, take lisinopril 10 mg daily, and have recently finished a round of penicillin due to dental procedures. I also have PCOS.

I noticed a small gray line in my eye that resembles a vein but isn't red. Should I be concerned about it?
