Over the past couple of months, I have been experiencing intermittent pain on my right side, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Ultrasound and blood tests were normal, but I was prescribed Arcept (likely a misspelling of a medication like Aciphex) for stomach problems. The pain comes and goes, and Tylenol and Aleve are not providing much relief. What could be causing this pain and what should I do next?

I have vitiligo and am considering treatments I found online, such as Vitiligo Tab, Melagenina Plus, and Novitil. These treatments claim rapid results with no side effects. I am planning for my wedding next August and would like to reduce the visibility of my white patches. Should I try these treatments, and how do I go about contacting a dermatologist for professional advice?

I think I might have the flu. I have no fever, but I have a dry cough that is 90% non-productive, very tired, headache, and the cough hurts my chest. Do you think I should spend the money to go see a doctor tomorrow?

I have red swelling eruptions (some, the size of a pinhead, or a bit larger) all along my leg. They tend to stop by the time it reaches my inner thigh. These blotches are red, and they do not bleed, but they do cause marks after they desist. It breaks the top layer of my skin. Could it be some type of psoriasis? I used to have a cat, and she went outdoors at times. These blotches began at about the time I acquired her and haven't stopped since. I noticed these blotches about a year ago, but they come back after a while. Could it be my bed or couch infected with something that the cat dragged in?

I had knee replacement surgery several months ago and have had many complications and 5 more surgeries since. Recently, I saw an X-ray of my knee showing a front view while standing with weight evenly distributed on both feet. The prosthesis appeared to have about 1/4" to 1/2" space on the inside, while the other side had almost no space. Does that sound normal?

I started my period in the early part of the month. Last month I started on May 5. Now it's June and I'm four days late. Is it possible that I'm pregnant?
