Crystal S. asked
I had vigorous sex last week after not having sex for three months. The inside of my vagina seemed to have friction burn or something, which went away after a week. This morning, I woke up with a red spot that is a little itchy. I have a history of HSV-2. What could this red spot be, and should I be concerned about it triggering an outbreak? Additionally, I am considering daily suppressive therapy with Valtrex. Would this be safe for my kidneys, and could it make my body dependent on the medication if I suddenly stopped?

The red spot you are experiencing could be a friction-induced blood blister or a Bartholin cyst, rat...

I have had pain below my sternum since Monday that comes and goes and went to the ER yesterday and they said heartburn. I also sometimes feel like I have a frog in my throat. My 6 lead ECG looks normal. Should I be worried about my heart, and what can I do to alleviate this pain?

I took my blood pressure several times over the course of a few hours, which caused my arm to become sore, red, and later develop petechiae and bruising. My arm is now tight and swollen, and it's achy. Could this be a soft tissue injury from the tight cuff or could it be a blood clot?

Can I safely use Ivermectin and Clotrimazole at the same time, and is it safe to use Ivermectin and Metronidazole cream along with a Jock itch cream for a new rash between my scrotum and thigh?
