I was diagnosed with HSV-1 in my genitals and still have open sores despite taking antiviral medication. Is it okay to use baby powder with cornstarch to help dry the sores and prevent sticking? Also, would triamcinolone help, and should I be concerned about brownish/red discharge from the sores?

I just passed gas and felt discharge release. When I went to the bathroom, it was just a small amount but if I kept pushing, a bit more came out and when it was in the toilet, it looked almost foamy. What could this be? I'm not in any pain. I've noticed my stomach rumbling a lot but that's not too alarming for me. I'm a 26-year-old female who ate chicken wings last night and has had a bloated feeling on the left side of my belly for the past 2 days, but not today.

I have extreme pain in the back of both ankles, especially when stretching the Achilles tendon by standing on my toes or flexing my calves by putting my toes on stairs with my ankle going downward. What could this be, and do you have any suggestions for managing the pain without immediately visiting a doctor?

Is there any way to legally get steroids or HGH, and will they help me lose weight and improve my physical condition?

I have a tickling sensation in my chest that makes me cough and sometimes feels tight. It started in 2015, and I occasionally have laryngitis. I was treated for GERD and depression, and now I'm seeing a speech pathologist. I also have a Gastric Inlet patch in the lower esophagus and my vocal cords don't close completely. What could be causing this, and how can it be treated?

I have been doing morning workouts since I was 50 years old, which included stretching my back, sides, and abdomen on an inflatable exercise ball, followed by deep knee bends, running on an elliptical machine, push-ups, sit-ups, and kettlebell exercises. Two weeks ago, while doing a side stretch on the ball, something popped on my left side near my lower rib cage, causing significant pain. I stopped exercising and applied heat, but it remained sore for a week. After feeling better, I tried stretching on a foam roller, but another pop occurred on my left side, causing intense pain. How long have you had the pain, have you used any medication for it, have you seen a doctor about the pain, and is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?
