Does this look like ringworm on the left side of my finger? I had a wart removed that has come back on the right after wearing a ring on that finger through summer. The skin seemed to have dried completely out where the ring was before the wart came back. On the left side, this circular rash/raw area appeared over time. It is scaly and since I’ve been washing my hands a lot and using hand sanitizer, I feel like it is much more irritated and is now kind of warm to the touch.

My 14-year-old daughter was on Depo-Provera for around a year and stopped in August due to lack of insurance. Since then, her periods have become prolonged (16 days without stopping), leading to fatigue, anxiety, and emotional instability. She recently had a UTI and is not sleeping or eating well, which is affecting her school performance and increasing her anxiety. Her tiredness has been getting worse, and she occasionally takes low doses of melatonin, which sometimes causes headaches. She is generally healthy with a few allergies and a family history of female cancer and emphysema. What can we do to manage her condition until we can get her to a doctor in December?

I injured my knee yesterday while walking. I felt my knee slide out to the left, and it is now swollen and painful on the left side. I went to the ER, where they did an X-ray and found no tears in the ACL or MCL, but suspect some form of injury. What could be causing this pain, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?
