Hello Dr. Chip, I have an area on my skin that has been burning for two days. Today, I noticed a tiny pimple that I accidentally popped, releasing a bit of water. Can you help me understand what this is and why it's burning?

I've been having itching in my private part for about a week, and before that, it burned when I peed. My skin looks different (red, dry, scaley, raised, etc.), and there is a little whitish discoloration around my vagina and anus. I don't have any known allergies, and there's nothing else in my medical history that the Doctor should know.

I am in Brazil and just had a rapid Covid-19 test in a pharmacy. Before inserting the nasal swab, the nurse dropped it on the table. What is the risk of getting some sort of infection from the unsterile swab?

My great nephew is 3 1/2 and is not potty trained yet. He resists sitting on the potty. He is in school and they gave his mother a week to get him trained or he can’t come back. We are desperate! Any suggestions?

I am a 34-year-old woman with a hemoglobin level of 16.1 and a hematocrit of 48.4. I have a sleep apnea diagnosis, am morbidly obese, and have gained about 15 pounds since the start of the pandemic. I am not diabetic. How concerning are these blood test results, and what should I know about them?
