I have been on the pill (Sprintec) for almost a year and this month I missed 3 pills during the 2nd week of the active pills and have been spotting for 7 days. I continued taking the rest of the pills and will start a new pack, skipping the placebo week, right after this is done, as per my doctor's advice. However, today is my 8th day of light spotting and I am a little concerned. Has the spotting been stable or getting worse? Is it constant or does it flare up? What's the start and end date of your last period? Have you dealt with spotting before? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have paronychia that is not healing. I've been on cephalexin for a week, but my finger is still very swollen, with visible pus and infection, and it's a different color. I'm HIV+ with low counts, making me immunocompromised. I've seen a doctor who performed incision and drainage, but it hasn't healed. I'm unsure how to clean and bandage it. What should I do?

Woke up three days ago with a pain on my right side, close to my right breast. Could it be a pulled muscle? I have taken Tylenol for the pain but have not seen a doctor. I am 68 years old and in good shape, but I have not done any weight lifting. The pain does not occur when I touch my chest.

I have intense itching and stinging in my crotch area for about 2 weeks. I have tried using Vagisil and Cortizone 10, but I get temporary relief and then the symptoms return intensely. My last pap test was 6 months ago with a slight irregular result. I am 61 years old, have no discharge, and no odor. What could be causing this and what else can I do or need?
