I have had a penis rash for 15 weeks. I have been using betamethasone for 2 weeks, which seems to be helping. I am concerned about herpes and want to know if I should continue using the steroid cream and how long it might take to heal. Additionally, I am curious about the possibility of balanitis, whether it can occur in circumcised individuals, and if there are any other treatments or preventive measures I should consider.

My 14-year-old son had a rough night and couldn’t fall asleep until 5 am a few nights ago. Now he gets anxious regarding anything surrounding bedtime. What could be causing this and what treatments or measures can help improve his sleep and reduce anxiety?

I have a swollen, red, itchy patch on my leg that started last night. I'm concerned it might be a blood clot. I'm 34 years old, stand all day at work, had COVID a couple of weeks ago, and my leg was very crampy and achey last week. I'm allergic to penicillin and was prescribed Lodine and cyclobenzaprine for a back injury, but haven't taken them recently. I also took Paxlovid for COVID. What could this be and what should I do?
