For the past two weeks, I traveled to Thailand and had protected sexual intercourse with multiple partners. Condoms broke once or twice but were immediately replaced and cleaned. Now, I have minor bumps around my penis, which resemble the beginning of Molluscum Contagiosum, a condition I was diagnosed with and fully recovered from last year. Additionally, I started hair removal laser treatment a few months ago, and my scrotum feels dry and fragile, possibly related to acne treatment with isotretinoin, which I stopped six months ago. I also experienced insect bites during my trip and have a few bites around my body, including the penis area. I'm unsure if these factors are related to the bumps around my penis and how to treat them.

I came in 2 days ago and got 2 prescriptions for an infected tattoo on my right ankle and foot area. The affected area is about 4-5 inches square, and it is still swollen and very sore, though it is drying up and the swelling has gone down somewhat. I have also begun to feel nauseous, and I don't know if it's from the infection or the antibiotics. I am 45 years old and have been using the antibiotics for almost 48 hours. What should I do?

I'm 20 years old, not sexually active, and still a virgin, but I'm experiencing more painful periods and cramps even when not on my period. I'm also obese. Should I visit a gynecologist, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I have a blockage and swelling in a couple of nerves in my right testicle. The swelling has been present for a few months and is sometimes painful. I also feel pain in two different parts of my body. I am 33 years old and not currently on any medications. My doctor has prescribed anti-inflammatory medication in the past, which temporarily reduced the swelling and blockage. I have had an ultrasound twice, the last one being a year ago, which showed no concern for testicular cancer. However, the swelling and pain are intermittent. Additionally, I sometimes feel pain in my right foot and right kidney, which I believe may be linked to the nerve issue. I had a hernia surgery three years ago, and the swelling problem started a year after the surgery. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Do HGH supplements work, and are they beneficial for the general population?

My 18-year-old daughter has been experiencing stomach upset since returning from Egypt, where she had 'Cairo Belly' a couple of times. She was treated with Antilan and recovered. Now, she is complaining of sharp, localized headaches in the right front of her head that come swiftly after sudden motion. Should I watch her until Monday or react more quickly?
