I've been experiencing external hemorrhoids for the past three weeks. I'm 31 years old, work from home, and sit on a computer chair for about 10 hours a day. I'm not currently using any medications. What can be done to manage this condition?

I have been using a Neti Pot for sinus pressure, but I didn't clean it after each use and now I'm worried about potential infections. I used filtered water, boiled it, and added a salt packet. I also read about brain-eating bacteria from using contaminated water, which increased my anxiety. What should I do to ensure safety and reduce my anxiety?

I’m a professional trumpet player and there’s a spot on my lip that always grows a pimple. It’s right where I place my mouthpiece so it’s painful to play. I’ve been taking the day off to not irritate it, but it’s not ideal as I need to play shows this weekend. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it quickly? I will not be able to see a doctor before my show. I’m a 35-year-old woman. This has most recently come when I practice after not practicing for a while.

I got my tattoo 9 days ago and it’s still red around the edges. Is it infected or just inflamed? How long can the redness last, and could it be a sign of diabetes?

My daughter, who is 5 years old, recently had blood work done, and the results show a higher-than-normal BUN/Creatinine level. Additionally, she has been experiencing moments of feeling cold, even in warm environments, which come and go. What could be the cause of these symptoms?
