I was having spotting that wasn't going away with my birth control (I was taking it continuously) and she suggested that I need to have my period. So when it was time I skipped the week. Well, it's the 8th day and it's stopped quite a bit but it hasn't completely stopped. Should I still take my birth control or wait until it completely stops?

My husband is 76 years old and has been experiencing chronic tiredness. He had a check-up in February and is currently taking amlodipine for blood pressure and zolpidem for sleep. He also had a stroke five years ago with no damage. What could be causing his fatigue and what tests should be conducted?

We discovered a lump on the back of my daughter's neck and ear. It doesn't bother her, she doesn't cry when we touch her and she is acting completely normal. Should we be concerned? We noticed it 4 days ago but because it didn't bother her, we didn't think anything of it. But tonight I noticed it has red, pink skin that is peeling. Looks as if it's the head of a pimple. Can I send you a picture of it?

My husband has a patchy area under his eye that is burning, about the size of a half-dollar, with flaky places and tiny pus-filled blister-like spots. He used coconut oil, which made it worse, and now it burns constantly. We've tried an antiseptic wash with a cotton ball, which helped some. He thinks it might be psoriasis or shingles. Is there anything over the counter he can use, as he refuses to go to the doctor?

What is the best way to heal a finger infection after removing a splinter, given that there is no redness but a thumping sensation at the tip where the splinter was?
