I have a rash on my stomach, arms, and inner thighs that I initially thought was poison ivy. I've been on prednisone for 14 days and am now off. I've been using Tecnu soap after suspected exposure and still breaking out in new areas. I change my clothes and bedding regularly, and I wash my hands after touching my cat who goes in the woods. I don't go in the woods or anywhere I know poison ivy grows. What could be causing this rash, and what should I do?

I take 300mg of Wellbutrin every day and was prescribed 2.5mg of prednisone to help with my hypoglycemia. Can I take both medications together, and should I adjust my Wellbutrin dose or avoid the prednisone altogether?

I had a life insurance exam done and my Urine Creatine mg/dL is 282.2. I'm 22 years old. My LDL/HDL Ratio was 0.88 with a reference range of 0.9 - 5.3. All other 23 categories are in the green and normal from the exam. What does this mean for my health, and are there any recommendations to keep my kidneys healthy?

When rubbing my forehead above my left eye, I experience a sharp pain like an electric shock that is so intense it makes me drop to my knees. The only way to stop it is by rubbing it to relieve the pain, but I'm scared to touch it. What could be causing this pain and what should I do about it?
