I am experiencing intermittent, dull headaches that move around my head, sometimes feeling like sinus pressure or pain in the area where a headband would go, and occasionally causing scalp tenderness. The headaches worsen with stress and anxiety, and I have had a temporary raised temporal artery after a shower. I have normal lab results (CBC, metabolic panel, sed rate, and c-reactive protein) and no other significant symptoms like fatigue or fever. Could these symptoms be related to tension headaches rather than something more serious like temporal arteritis?

My menstruation is lasting more than a week and started with a brown color. My last period began on November 15 and lasted 7 days with a slow flow and sticky brown color, now it has a little bit of red like a normal period. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 39 years old. My menstruation usually lasts 3 to 4 days, but this is unusual. I have a sticky brown discharge when I use toilet paper to wipe, no itching when passing urine, and I am stressed during this time.

Is a tiny, flat bruise-like spot on the skin anything like a wart, and is it related to any sexually transmitted disease (STD)?

I am not on birth control and only use condoms. I recently took two Plan B pills in the past two weeks due to uncertainty about condom use during sex. My period is due in a week, but I experienced spotting yesterday with left abdominal cramps that intensified during intercourse. My last period started on July 31st, and it usually comes regularly. I am 20 years old, not taking any medications, and have no significant medical history. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?

My daughter has a rash on her head, neck, and torso that started 2 weeks ago and flares up every 3-4 days. She is currently using Cortisone+ for the rash and is 2 years old. She was exposed to cigarette smoking but has since moved away from that environment. What could be causing the rash and how can it be treated?
