I have a question about treating varicoceles in the testicles. My symptoms include swollen testicular veins, and I've only used ibuprofen and Tylenol. I've seen a doctor about the swelling, but the doctor is on vacation and today the swelling is worse than usual. I also have a history of neck surgery. What can I do for the severe pain I'm experiencing?

I’ve been having eczema from a very young age and I’ve been going through treatment for 9 years. I’m 16 years old now. The doctors I’ve been consulting say that I’ll have to live with it and there is no cure. I’ve been using ointments such as flutivate, will I’ve any side effects in the future of using such medications on a daily basis? Additionally, in a recent blood test, my IGE level was abnormally high. Should I be concerned about potential asthma development if the eczema is left untreated?
