I took 20 mg of prednisone on Monday, 10 mg on Tuesday, and 10 mg again on Wednesday. I received the Hepatitis B vaccine on Thursday. Should I worry about contracting Hep B from the vaccine or is my concern about prednisone weakening my immune system unfounded?

My 12-year-old daughter has had her menses for 4 weeks. She is not using any contraceptives or medications, and there are no significant medical history issues. What should I do for her, and at what point should I seek further medical attention if the situation doesn't improve?

I haven't been feeling well this past week. My nose has been dry, I've had a slightly itchy throat that comes and goes, and today I have a headache and a heavy chest. I have known allergies to penicillin and roses, and I was diagnosed with anxiety and mild depression last year, experiencing panic attacks about every three months.

I have a small red patch on my thigh that was originally a white patch for many months. I scratched it a couple of weeks ago, causing it to bleed a little and become more red. My doctor prescribed a topical antibiotic and steroid cream, but if it doesn't clear up, I should see a dermatologist. I have pictures and am concerned if it's something serious. What could it be and should I be worried?

I have been alcohol abstinent for 19 months. On 10/30 I had one mixed frozen margarita, on 10/31 two bud light beers, and on 11/3 one glass of wine. None of the drinks I consumed was more than 5% alcohol. I had a peth test today 11/5 in which the cut off level is 20ng. Will I pass?

I'm experiencing tooth pain that started two days ago, and now my cheek has started to feel numb. The numbness is constant. I'm 22 years old and not currently taking any medications. Should I be concerned, and when should I seek emergency care for this issue?
