Hi Dear. Yesterday I found two small bumps, each the size of a pea, on my 13-month-old daughter's head. They are located on each side of the back of her head, not far from her ears. She appears and feels well, eating and playing as usual, but I am worried. What could these bumps be?

I am 64 years old and frequently visit the pool and beach. Since taking Norvasc and Cozaar, I have noticed frequent bruising, making me look like a war victim. I am very active and get my share of bumps, but it doesn't take much to cause an ugly, dark, and splotchy bruise. Could either Norvasc or Cozaar be causing this, and what other factors or tests might be involved?

I have been told I have calcified granulomas in both lung bases. Can you tell me what it is?

A woman friend tested positive for Chlamydia. We had sex on Jan. 20th using a condom, but I performed oral sex on her. Since then, I've had unprotected sex and oral sex with another woman. If I test positive, I know what to do. If I test negative, should I: 1. Get an oral test to ensure I don't have Chlamydia in my mouth, or would that show up in the urine test? 2. Inform my last partner to get tested, as I might have passed it on to her without getting it myself, and is that possible? Additionally, how long can one have Chlamydia without symptoms?
