I am an 18-year-old female who missed her period after having unprotected sex with withdrawal method used. Despite negative pregnancy tests and normal transvaginal ultrasounds, I experienced severe diarrhea with blood and irregular periods. I have symptoms like weight gain, excessive hair growth, and abdominal twinges. What could be causing my missed periods and should I still be concerned about pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy?

I scraped my leg while falling in lake/canal water. I'm worried about flesh-eating bacteria. Can you advise? I cleaned it with bottled water, alcohol, and neosporin, and later with peroxide and mupirocin. Why is the middle of the wound a whitish grey color? How long until it heals?

I burned my foot with hot water on the stove a week ago. Blisters with clear fluid formed and burst. The area is red, painful, and itchy. I've tried using triple antibiotic ointment and Aquaphor, but the ointment made it burn worse. I haven't noticed any fever or swollen lymph nodes in the groin. How can I manage this burn to prevent infection and promote healing?
