I got eye filler six weeks ago and still have bruising. The bruise seems to be getting worse. I am 40 years old, take medications for depression/anxiety and birth control, and use arnica on the bruise. I also take a collagen supplement, vitamin E, and fish oil. I had jaw surgery in May. Is this prolonged bruising normal, and should I stop taking vitamin E and fish oil?

I have had three plantar warts for about a year. They have not improved or worsened, do not hurt, and are visually unappealing. Two are the same color as my skin, and one is white. They all look like 'holes'. I am currently using Yaz and Lexapro, and I tried a plantar wart remover pad without success. I am 28 years old. What should I do about these warts?

I have multiple sclerosis (MS) and am on Copaxone, Detrol, oxycodone, Toradol, amitriptyline, and Atenol. Is it safe for me to get the Covid vaccination, and if so, which one is safest?

My daughter is nursing her 5-month-old baby and is being told by her employer that she must get the vaccine. She is concerned that the vaccine, which is not FDA approved, could impact the baby. She has a heart issue and spots on her brain, but her doctors have said it's okay for her to get the vaccine. She is also concerned that something dormant could surface after the vaccine. Will the baby have any side effects from the vaccine?
