I have a rough patch on my breast that was scabbed over and has now cleared up, but there is a small purple bruise-like dot on the same breast. I'm a 29-year-old female and am concerned about this. What could this be, and should I be worried?

I developed sexual side effects from antidepressants and Iām worried theyāre permanent because Iāve now been off meds for 3.5 months. I took 20 mg of Lexapro in January, which quickly led to loss of genital sensation. In March, I was switched to Trintellix, which showed some improvement but didnāt resolve the issue. I then switched to Vybrid, but the side effects persisted. After 7 months, I stopped all medications. Now, thereās been some improvement, but I still feel genital numbing, loss of sensation, and weakened orgasms, which are better than when I was on the meds but not back to my pre-SSRI state. Iām worried the SSRIs caused permanent damage. Is it likely to be permanent, and have you seen such side effects last for months?

I have had a swollen uvula since May 7th. I have been taking Fluticasone propionate spray, but the swelling is not going away. I have seen a doctor who mentioned it could be worse but did not perform any tests to determine the cause. What can I do to reduce the swelling, and how often should I use Benadryl or Zyrtec, and gargle with salt water?

Hello, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I just had my second membrane stripping today. When I went to the bathroom just now, I had very mucusy discharge with spotting in it. Could this be my bloody show or me losing my mucus plug?

I have never had high glucose levels before. At the end of August, my A1C was 5.5. Over the past few months, I have been taking my glucose readings and I'm averaging 6.5-7.0 fasting and 8.0-9.0 post-prandial. Are these numbers really high? What would cause a sudden increase in glucose levels?

Can a doctor take a look at an abscess I have? I have two pictures: one of an abscess that has been present for about 4 days (Picture A) and another of an abscess that has been present for about 5 weeks (Picture B). The second one drained and almost completely shrunk but started draining again yesterday. I have been using Neosporin, but I accidentally got the pain relief version. What should I do?
