My 11-year-old son has had wide yet flat stools for over 2 weeks. He has no other symptoms, but I'm worried. He hasn't tried anything to relieve the issue because his stools aren't hard or dry. His last doctor visit was in March, and he has a history of constipation, migraines with aura, and GERD. His diet isn't the best, and he passes a lot of gas. What could be causing his flat stools, and what should we do?

Today when I washed my hands after coming home, I felt stinging under my nail. It seems like a paper cut but I didn't realize when I got this cut. Today I didn't do any sexual activities, just worked and met a friend. Is it possible to get HIV by touching an object (with a paper cut under the nail) stained with fresh semen or fresh blood?

I have a weird black spot on my testicles. How long have you had the spot? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a dermatologist about the spot? Is there anything else in your medical history that the Doctor should know?

Can you tell from pictures of ovulation predictor kits whether ovulation has happened or not, and when should a pregnancy test be positive after ovulation?

I gave my 6-year-old daughter about 1 teaspoon of Pepto-Bismol for her diarrhea. Is she going to be okay?

I had red stool mixed with brown, the stool was in lumps and it hurt when I pooped. I'm 25 years old, male, and have been experiencing hard stools and constipation for a couple of days. I feel a bump on the anus, which makes it hard to sit, but there's no burning sensation. The symptoms started this morning. I've been taking allergy medicine and nasal steroid, but there's no pain in the abdomen.
