I scraped my leg while falling in lake/canal water. I'm worried about flesh-eating bacteria. Can you advise? I cleaned it with bottled water, alcohol, and neosporin, and later with peroxide and mupirocin. Why is the middle of the wound a whitish grey color? How long until it heals?

Is it normal to have non-stop periods for a month with clots, and should I be concerned about the flow not decreasing and the presence of cramps?

I burned my foot with hot water on the stove a week ago. Blisters with clear fluid formed and burst. The area is red, painful, and itchy. I've tried using triple antibiotic ointment and Aquaphor, but the ointment made it burn worse. I haven't noticed any fever or swollen lymph nodes in the groin. How can I manage this burn to prevent infection and promote healing?

I got my two shingles vaccines. Since this morning, I feel some burning under my left arm and along my spine. It just started this morning and I have to touch the area to feel the burning. Do you have any known allergies? Is there anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Does this look like a skin disease and can I touch my daughter's food or not? The rash is on all fingers and both palms, looks like white pimples, and spreads with itching and pain.
