Can a doctor take a look at an abscess I have? I have two pictures: one of an abscess that has been present for about 4 days (Picture A) and another of an abscess that has been present for about 5 weeks (Picture B). The second one drained and almost completely shrunk but started draining again yesterday. I have been using Neosporin, but I accidentally got the pain relief version. What should I do?

She has been feeling unwell for about 5 weeks and has recently been taken off all her medications. What could be causing these symptoms and what should be done?

I have had clustered bumps on the top half of my penis since I was 14, and I'm now 18. The bumps are constant and have not changed. They are not itchy and are the same color as my penis. What could these bumps be, and how can they be treated or managed?
