I have osteonecrosis in my mouth, diagnosed by UCSF. I think a new osteonecrosis is forming in the roof of my mouth, near my teeth, after a minor burn. I'm worried this could be worse than the first one and that I might keep developing more osteonecroses with minor mouth injuries. Could this be a new osteonecrosis, and am I at risk of developing more due to minor injuries?

Thereās a red mark on my arm thatās been there for years, resembling a hickey. It changes back to my skin color when I poke it but then returns to being red. There are no symptoms like pain, itching, or tenderness. What could this be?

I constantly have mucus in my chest/throat, which is thick and white, and I can't cough it out easily. I have taken antibiotics and allergy medication, but they haven't helped. I also had a shot that temporarily improved the condition. What could be causing this and what further steps should I take?

I have a sprained ankle diagnosed via X-ray. It has been 3 days with black and blue swelling extending up my leg. I went to urgent care and took ASA initially, then switched to Tylenol due to bruising. The swelling is concerning me. Should I wait and see, or is there anything else I should do?

I had protected sex with a stripper last night and am scared of contracting HIV. I suffer from anxiety and take anti-depression medication. Should I be concerned about HIV, and do I need to take PrEP?

I have a sinus infection and have been experiencing a right-side headache that extends into my eye and temple. I'm concerned if this is normal or if I should be worried about having a brain tumor. I'm a 24-year-old female and have been taking Augmentin for the sinus infection.
