I have recurring ingrowns or boils for many months now. They flare up and have been getting worse. The areas affected are my inner buttocks and the front of my private area. They are painful and contain pus that eventually bursts. I am 19 years old and not using any medications. They also flare up when I am about to get my period or on my period. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

I am bleeding after using Monistat 7 for 6 days. How long have you dealt with the bleeding? Is this issue stable or getting worse? When did you start using Monistat? Has it helped at all? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I had a Pap test last week after being very delinquent in having one for many years. I'm worried I might have cervical cancer and waited too long. What are the signs of cervical cancer, can it be treated, and would there be symptoms if it had spread?

I've been experiencing unusual irritation and stomach pain for about a week, which is constant and worst at night. The pain is a dull ache in the middle of my stomach.

What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
