I have a painful, non-itchy rash under my left armpit. I recently switched deodorants and noticed the rash tonight. I am 24 years old, male, and take Welbutrin and Viibryd daily. I had unprotected sex in early June and had an HIV test a month later, which was non-reactive. Should I be concerned about the rash and the HIV test results?

Dr. David, I know you say AI's work better than tamoxifen. I think you've said 60% vs. 50%. Can you show me an article that says that and clarify what the 60% refers to in terms of AI therapy?

I experience numbness in my right leg with pins and needles starting in my buttock, causing a weak feeling but no actual pain. Sitting down briefly alleviates the feeling. I now rely on a rolling walker for confidence to go out. Can this be cured?

I have been on a PPI for around 7 years and am concerned about kidney damage. I had blood tests done, but I believe I was slightly dehydrated when they were drawn. My results include Uric Acid: 3.5 (reference: 4.0-8.0 mg/dL), UREA NITROGEN (BUN): 23 (reference: 7-25 mg/dL), CREATININE: 1.04 (reference: 0.60-1.35 mg/dL), and eGFR NON-AFR. AMERICAN: 88 (reference ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m²). I also had a high HOMOCYSTEINE of 11.7 (reference: <11.4 umol/L). The same night we discussed these results, I ended up in the hospital with tachycardia and was diagnosed with dehydration. After IV fluids, my creatinine dropped to 0.9 and BUN to 15. I still have a slightly elevated heart rate and traces of blood in my urine (Non-Hemolyzed moderate trace). What should I do?

I have a raw and bleeding abdomen, especially around an old incision, which I've been told is due to yeast. Is this correct, and what can be done to treat it?

My baby took domperidone for two months and now I stopped giving it to him due to studies of severe cardiac problems. I'm worried for his heart's health. How dangerous is it that I gave it to him?
