I have a cyst on my left shoulder that has been there since 2006. It has slowly grown in size and recently became painful, red, and swollen after an injury at work. The cyst is slightly itchy lately and I am 43 years old, taking only vitamin C. I recently started indoor tanning again. What should I do?

My son stepped on a screw about a month ago, which went through his shoe into his foot. He received a tetanus shot and it initially healed, but now it's hurting again with slight swelling and no redness. He soaked it, and the scab over the puncture site softened, but the area is still sore. Should he get an X-ray, and how can we determine if he needs antibiotics?

Hello. I just tested positive for COVID-19 with very minor symptoms. I have access to Ivermectin 4 mg tablets. Should I start taking them now? Additionally, how long should I quarantine and should I get a PCR test as a backup?

I was injured when my left breast was caught between an electric gate and a pylon, causing it to turn black and blue, and now it's bright red and somewhat sore. How long have you had the soreness? Is this stable or getting worse? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? Can I use heat or ice on my breast?
