I tore a piece of skin under my penis head and it's been 3 weeks without healing. I'm 33 years old, using Burlidine on the sore area, and I've self-pleasured a couple of times, possibly worsening the condition. What should I do to ensure proper healing?

Hello Dr. I've recently come in contact with family members who are COVID-19 positive. I'm wondering where I can get a test to go back to work as I don't want to endanger the workplace. I'm experiencing symptoms such as coughing, nasal/lung congestion, headaches, and a seriously running nose. I'm located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, and I'm 48 years old. I'm fully vaccinated with two doses but no booster. How long have I had these symptoms and what type of test should I get?

I have a TMJ dysfunction with a dislocated and unreduced joint, a buckled disc, and no signs of arthritis. My doctor wants to do a total joint replacement, but I'm unsure if my condition is severe enough for this. What is your opinion on the best treatment option, considering the risks and long-term implications, including the possibility of infections and heterotropic bone growth post-surgery?
