ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a small lump on lower backside of my head on the left side about 1 inch above my hair line. It feels hard at touch and is size of grape maybe a little smaller. the area is tender and when i noticed i pushed on it and there was local pain. Any options on what this could be. | Hello! Thank you for the query. At this location, sebaceous cyst is the most probable reason of this lump. It's a benign soft tissues' tumor filled with whitish masses. It does not turn into a cancer. However, it may get infected. If so, it becomes tender, swollen. Sometimes in mentioned location enlarged lymph node can also appear. I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this issue. Soft tissues' ultrasound should be done. Sebaceous cyst should be removed. If its enlarged lymph node, biopsy should be considered. Hope this will help. Regards. |

Considering your past medical history for coronary artery disease, I would recommend consulting with your doctor as soon as possible and performing some tests: - a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes- a dobutamine stress echo or a myocardial perfusion cardiac stress test to investigate for the presence of coronary artery disease.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | few days ago I noticed a painless lump just above and to the right of my navel. After eating it protrudes alittle, barely noticeable with naked eye but easily felt. I can push on it and it will protrude but return a short time late, painless and no discomfort. I am 50, 6-3 300 but a body builder so although I am heavy I am not overly fat. I believe it is a hernia but not sure what kind | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised As mentioned in your history about a painless lump just above the naval, a very little a physician could do, as you do not have pain and lump is just a soft tissue. Also, since you are a heavy body builder, you may have formed a hernia in that place, since the muscle run there is just the rectus abdominis, ab due to over training, the skin tissue has just gone a bit up & down. You can undergo physical therapy where your ab strengthening will be modified to ensure the lump goes back or vanishes and the rectus abdominis strength stays to optimum to help you continue weight lifting in the future.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I an 28 years old and I have a skin problem on my face such as acne, blackheads, big pores, etc. It is usually not that bad but once my spot is gone, I have a red mark that could stay on my skin very long. As a result, all my skin looks a bit reddish due to spots marks. I would say my skin type is combination since it's dry after I wash my face and then it gets oily, especially on my T zone. I am currently using La Roche Effaclar Duo to get rid of my acne and especially my spot marks but it does not seem to help a lot. That is why I was just wondering if you could recommend any skin routine that would help me to get rid of my acne and make my skin look better and healthier. Thank you very much. | Hi. Skin in adolescent and young adult are covered with sebum secreting glands mostly over face and trunk. They increase during the summer and varies according to menstrual cycle. Besides oily cosmetics can hamper the acne formation process and aggravte the problems. You can regularly cleanse the skin using facewash containing salicylic acid and or glycolic acid or mandelic acid. To improve the acne and facial skin we frequently use gel containing retinoic acids specially at night. But if you have bigger acne lesions sometimes we need to have some laboratory investigation to start oral retinoic acid. Could you please send me your picture so that I can discuss with you in detail. |

General anesthesia can induce excessive blood clotting when hormone contraception is used simultaneously. As this is not so in your case, you need not worry about the after effects of surgery. Menstrual pattern can alter after any intervention due to stress and the associated hormone imbalance. Your current symptoms can be a side effect of the medication used during and after the surgery. Please take adequate rest, healthy diet and follow up regularly. Use medication to relieve symptoms. Hope you find this information useful. Take care. |

It seems like you are preoccupied with your penis when you pass urine and this causes an erection leading to masturbation. The first thing you can do is that while passing urine, please do not allow sexual thoughts to enter your mind. Just tell yourself that you have to get along with your work after passing urine.

When you are done, just put your penis back into your pants and zip up without sparing a thought for your penis going to a side and getting erect. |

Only thing is my LH level is high and the rest harmone levels are normal | Hello, You seem to be having Polycystic ovarian syn Chat Doctor. The problem with such a condition is an ovulation that is not able to release egg from the ovary. That is the reason your doctor was trying to get your LH level down by giving Overall L, and inositol to reduce insulin sensitivity. It would have been of much help, if you mention your weight and height. The delay in periods is also mostly because of PCs. The best and 1st line of treatment for this condition is weight loss with reduction of at least 5% of your present weight; your periods would get back to normal.

Im also going to bathroom but not as often and having trouble with bowel movement. I seem to be urinating more at night also. | HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. The sharp abdominal pain whicChatDoctore and go can be due to renal colic (kidney stones) which gives a secondary gastrointestinal upset also due to nerve irritation. In such case a urine routine examination and an ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis will rule out the condition. If it is kidney stones you should take more water. Cranberry juice and barley water are helpful in alkalizing urine. I advise my patients with urine alkalizers like potassium citrate or sodium citrate. Urinary plasmolytic like favorite will be helpful in relieving pain also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query. |

Lately, I ve had major pain in the area of my wisdom tooth (bottom left) and then the pain moved into the back of my mouth and my mouth seemed extremely tight. Then it became painful to swallow and also, sometimes my lower and upper left gums start hurting. If I don t talk or move my mouth a lot, it becomes painful to sleep etc. | Hello there....this is a consequence of an erupted lower third molar... pain from the lower impacted third molar usually radiates to the throat region, middle ear and left temple region (side of your head above the ear). If the pain is severe that would even hurt when you swallow... If left untreated there are chances for the tooth to get infected and would result in decreased mouth opening (Erasmus).... Get you wisdom tooth removed from an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon as they are experts in handling this kind of teeth.... |

I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, snorting meth never causes strep infection. The selling at the back of the throat is because of the irritation that has occurred by the meth snorting followed by secondary infection to the injured area.

Hexideine gargle can help clear the infection earlier your can also take it with your doctors' guidance. Please maintain good oral hygiene thus will equally help as antibiotics is doing.

Cleaning regularly and keeping ear Chat Doctor.

In my opinion you should not worry at all for testicular cancer. As the thing you are feeling (pimple like) is normal part of testis. It is entry point of spermatic cord in the testis. So it is slightly protruding and gives feeling of small lump on testis. You can also get done ultrasound examination of testis and confirm this. So no need to worry about cancer in testis.

My daughter reported having small spots on her fingers a couple of days ago, that were tender to the touch. Then the soles of her feet were sore. The finger spots grew larger and more pronounced, and this afternoon some of the spots look more like blister burns, and her feet are showing similar spots. A couple of the spots on her hands now have a whitish center. They have never itched, but she was taking over the counter allergy medicine until 2 days ago.

Chicken-pox has been going around our schools. She has NO spots anywhere else - just fingers/palms and soles of feet.

Now my prostrate is swollen and a UTI has all but knocked me down. My doctor put me on 1 500mg Ciprofloxacin HCL tablet every 12 hours. I also take 1 Centrum Silver supplement daily.

I have to fly to Canada Monday and will be gone for a week. | HelloThanks for query, Based on what you have stated you have enlarged prostate and now has urge incontinence. Taking alpha blockers like Tamsulosin and Finasteride once daily with Ciprofloxacin twice daily will help to relieve congestion of prostate and help to improve your urine flow.However, you need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done .to confirm the diagnosis.1) Routine urine test and urine culture 2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis to see the size of the prostate and post void urine residue.

You can treat the swelling by taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen and ice packs after the physical therapy session and when you rest, by intervals of 15 minutes.

Is the very cold weather a likely contributor? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LETI - pneumonia) is more in your friends case. Yes, cold weather must have contributed to her current illness. She is also a cancer survivor and took chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This makes her immunocompromised and more prone for infection. Her symptoms like fever, chest pain, breathing difficulty etc. favor pneumonia more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. Sputum culture and sensitivity report. Chest x-ray is must for the diagnosis of pneumonia. Sputum culture will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic treatment. Don't worry she will be alright.

At times the following weeks after a concussion it is possible to feel the symptoms you mention due to microscopic lesions taking some time to gradually recover, so unless the symptoms seem to have a worsening tendency or have some new sign, you shouldn't panic.

Jaundice and liver problems can cause increased level of bilirubin in blood which is called hyperbilirubinemia. This can cause developmental problems in teeth and the teeth may appear malformed, stained and prone to decay. If the teeth seems decayed, you should consult the dentist for determining the extent of the caries and deciding treatment so that further decay can be stopped. Deciduous or milk teeth stay in mouth till the age of 12 years, the front teeth till 9 years so taking care of them is necessary for proper eruption of permanent teeth and decreasing chances of pain and discomfort to the child. In addition, you should expect some more teeth erupting with the same problems depending on the stage of development of teeth when the jaundice has struck in. As the jaundice will be cured, the effect on erupting teeth will stop and the permanent teeth will erupt fine. I would still advise consulting dentist twice a year at least so that the eruption and effects on teeth can be followed up by dentist in collaboration with the pediatrician treating for jaundice. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best, |

As you mentioned you have white spots in the brain MRI scan and your symptoms are tremor for which the Neurologist have provided you with medicine.

Thirdly - We need to even know what medicine has the current physician prescribed you a how long you been taking it? Now coming to the tremors part - the physician must have treated you symptomatically and in most cases it works. Taking to the medicine what he prescribed you will take some time for your tremor to come down. Also, you need to discuss with your physician about Physiotherapy, as along with medicine and physiotherapy together the symptoms of tremor can be taken into control precisely.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m taking 50mg (25mg twice day) metoprolol for hypertension and 150mg (75mg twice day) flecainide for afib. I ve been on flecainide for 2 months and have had no afib episodes apart from a couple during the first 2 weeks of taking flecainide. Prior to this, over the past 10 years, my afib episodes went from about a few times a year lasting 3 - 4 hours, to a few times a month, to a few times a week lasting about 12 hours each time. I had to take something because of the discomfort and danger of stroke. Both seem under control with meds. Why would I be prescribed a blood thinner (either Apixaban, Riveroxaban of Dabigatran (whichever my drug plan covers)) if I don t have any episodes of afib. I take low dose Aspirin daily but am very reluctant to progress to the new blood thinners. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Blood thinners are absolutely useful in your case to control the atrial fibrillation. You are currently placed on excellent Chat Doctor. Out of all Apixaban will work with good efficacy. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography, ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart. Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day. Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful. |

My endometrium is in proliferative phase. after AMH test result is 1.92 i.e. low fertility. My right fallopian tube is well outlined upto its fimbrial end and shows good peritoneal spillage. the left fallopian tube is not visualised beyond cornua. no obvious spill is noted on left side. i take the following medicines - Clomipure (50) - for ovulation, M2 tone 2tablets twice a day, Myotol F 1 tablet daily and ovigin D 1 tablet twice a day. | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Since the AMH values are low, the chances of a spontaneous ovulation are low. In addition to the current treatment you need to go for ovulation studies to confirm if there is a successful ovulation after taking these medicines. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,Is there a difference in alcoholic and non-alcoholic mouthwash. Which is better at combating bad breath due to smoking than alcoholic? I am in a hygiene school and want to know whether or not to recommend non-alcohol mouthwash for the complaints of bad breath from smoking. I have recommended tongue scraping, alcoholic mouthwash. Anyways, they are not going to stop smoking or drinking. I was looking at a way to have them not dry out the tissues, but stopping the obvious factors do not seem to be an option. | Hello. You can definitely prescribe alcohol-free mouthwash in such cases, in fact they are better in the patients who consume alcohol and smoke. Alcohol-free mouthwash should not contain Benzalkonium chloride (allergen), Sodium lauryl sulfate, Saccharin, or alcohol. On the other hand, it should have Sodium benzoate, Sodium bicarbonate, and other ingredients that actually help to eliminate bacteria from the mouth. You can check the commercially available mouthwashes in your country. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I used a condom having sex and then after the first O took it off, put on another, and continued. I was careful and didn t notice any semen on my hands when removing the first one, but now I am concerned that an unnoticeable but pregnancy risking amount could have gotten on the second one. How big a risk is there of this? | Hello, Using condom alone carries a failure risk of 15 percent, though the use can be near perfect. In the manner you have described, it is likely that some semen may have entered the vagina after being stained on the surface of the second condom. If it is the fertile or ovulatory period and if you do not wish a pregnancy to occur, you may go for emergency contraception either as an IUD or a pill. If it is the safe or non-ovulatory period, there is nothing else to be done. In the future, please use double protection. Take care. |

No need to worry about pneumonia or tuberculosis. Asthmatic bronchitis is diagnosed by PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is almost always normal in asthmatic bronchitis.

Thanks for an elucidated history. The pain in abdomen, nausea, not feeling well; The sensation being eased with eating indicates that most probably you have a problem related to Acid Peptic Disease.

As you mentioned you are on antibiotics hope they were prescribed by a dentist otherwise unnecessary use of antibiotics is not recommended. Coming to diagnose your problem I must know whether the abscess is of periodontal or periapical origin or just gingival origin. If it is gingival origin I suggest no need of Chat Doctor. If it us periodontal origin one must thoroughly check your overall periodontal health whether is there any pocket formation that often leads to an abscess if it is pertaining to a particular tooth then is there any caries?

I stopped and had a chance to see another urologist. He did prostate check and urine and semen sample. Found nothing. No bacteria. He stuck a camera in my bladder and found no bacteria. I was given Flomax for two months and my symptoms went away. Recently, six weeks ago, I got chlamydia. I was given 1.5 grams Azithromycin taken over two days. Seven days after, I was re-tested and no more chlamydia. Then four weeks ago, I started to feel prostatitis symptoms show up again. Inflamed urethra and frequent urination with tenderness. I was given Pirinum by a doctor at my work to try to flush out any bacteria. The pain and inflammation went down but it is still constant. I believe after research I have chlamydia prostatitis and cannot go to a urologist at this time because of being in a remote country working. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I need to know a few more details to answer your query better: If your symptoms are similar to your previous attack of prostatitis then the treatment would be antibiotics for at least four weeks and Flomax. Ciplox would be the best choice but if you do not tolerate it, you can take Cephalosporin. Usually in prostatitis, we do not see bacteria in the urine, so that does not rule out prostatitis.

Most likely, it's only a muscular pain. He should carry out daily exercises. Even getting specialist physiotherapy treatment, relieves the pain quickly.

Can the pain episodes be simialar and related? I get upper stomach pain.. sharp. Some sweating shaking, difficulty breathing too.. always unconfortable after i eat even healthy meals. Thanks.. Krista | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your stomach pain is mostly due to h.pylori induced chronic gastritis and HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). But sweating, shaking etc. can be due to gall stones. Breathing difficulty is seen in uncontrolled HERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Along with h.pylori Chat Doctor. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start Proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. 7. Lose weight if you are obese. 8. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. 9. Operation for gall stone is necessary if symptoms are recurrent. So consult your doctor and discuss all these. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had balloon compression surgery for trigeminal surgery in October and ever since I have numbness in my mouth, gums and tongue on the right side. Also in the upper and lower lips. My neurosurgeon says he was not near this area. I do have slight numbness in right cheek area as predicted. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The numbness in the cheeks, lips, and gums can be because of the injury to the trigeminal nerve. Even a slight touch or contact of the nerve during balloon compression can result in nerve injury. Nothing to be panic, it takes few months to recover. Meanwhile you can take nerve regenerating Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered your query, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i recently found a small hard bump on the side of my penis, it is approximately the size of a bb, maybe smaller and is not painfull. I do not shave the shaft of my penis so i know it cannot be an ingrown hair, and have not been sexually active for at least 6 months, and used protection when i was. Any insight into what this could be is greatly appreciated | Hello, Clinically the lesions are present as a pearly white dome-shaped bump on the affected area. The whitish ball coming after extraction is molluscan body. Most of the time the lesions may resolve by its own, but some may remain and can become slightly larger. In these cases, once any lesion remains then there is the further possibility of more eruptions from one lesion. Therefore, in my opinion, any of the bump if remaining should be treated properly. I treat my patient with simple extraction with a needle or by Chemical Cautery or by extraction and needling. There is nothing to be worried about the same and can be very well treated. I suggest you to not pinch, pop or squeeze the area. For the redness: it appears that you have developed "contact allergic dermatitis" at the areas. Let me explain you elaborately. The penile skin is the thinnest skin in the body and is such a soft and thin skin that even the blood vessels are visible sometimes from our naked eye. Some redness is always present on penile skin. Adding to it the thinnest skin of the body over glans is also sensitive to the friction plus the chemicals in day to day life. All these factors also lead to the kind of problem which you are facing. Mild to moderate redness is quite common in this area because of the friction during sexual intercourse or due to masturbation also. Even the condoms are known to produce redness because of the rubber content as well as certain chemicals on the condoms as lubricants and as a fragrance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I had a biopsy 9 months ago and it was positive for subacute cutaneous lupus. But my blood work is normal. I have a rash on my face, chest arms , inner thighs and calves . The rash does not go away and they turn purple in cold or hot water. I have severe pain in my hands , knees, lower back and elbows. My muscles hurt very bad and they are weak. I wake up with migraines for up to 7 days straight. My question is why is my blood work neg. but my biopsy psitive and i experience all these symptoms and can S.C.L.E. turn into S.L.E? | Good evening. Subcutaneous lupus is a benign condition. It normally limits itself to the skin and may cause joint pains occasionally. You blood work is negative because it may not be involving any of your organs. Which is a good thing. For SCALE to turn into SHE, one needs to have ANA positive or some other antibodies in ENA profile. I am not too sure if you have those results. Also supplement your self with vitamin D treatment, as lupus patients are to avoid exposure to sun. Vitamin D Deficiency can cause the arthralgias which you are experiencing. . Hope the information was useful |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi my son recently was released from prison, he was fine so it seemed he died two days later I was told it was mrsa, there were no signs I dont think he knew he was sick, I think he may have thrown up in his sleep and aspirated. should there or could there have been signs. should I contact that facility ? he did have tattoos he got while in prison | Hi & Welcome. The suspected bacteria Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus ("MRSA") is resistant to most of the commonly used antibiotics such as penicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin, cephalosporins, azithromycin, etc. Based on the history given, your son seems to have acquired MRSA infection through the tattoos that he got in the prison. He should be examined by a doctor for proper clinical examination and possibly a culture and sensitivity of the skin lesions. Based on the result of this test he would be given an effective antibiotic like Vancomycin, Ninefold or Caroline. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Best regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My husband fell at work while descending on a ladder. His foot slipped through the rung of the ladder causing him to fall backwards while his leg was tangled in the ladder. He thought he was ok... a little sore ... only a small bruise on the knee. However... we started noticing swelling in his calf & the leg feels warm. Each day since the accident, his calf has become more & more painful, red & swollen. It s been 4 days now & quite a lot of bruising has developed around his knee & ankle even though the pain is primarily in his calf. Should he see a doctor... or is this normal healing?? | It sounds to me that the pain and redness around the calf only started 24 hours after the fall. If so, it might not be related to the initial fall itself. In my consult I would be worried of deep vein thrombosis which developed due to an injury to the vein and precipitated by a period of immobilization post-fall. I would examine to see if it is only localized to the calf or if it has extended to the thigh. Also I need to examine the lungs to make sure it has not dislodged and travelled to the lungs, causing an obstruction. To confirm my diagnosis I would order a Doppler ultrasound plus other investigations as indicated. The treatment if the diagnosis is confirmed is to start on blood thinners and observe his condition until the clot has dissolved. He would probably have to be investigated to as why he is prone to develop such clots in the first place. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 17 year old son has a persistant dry cough especially at night for over a long time. Last time , i took him to the doctor said he had allergies and that went away with taking claritin , but i noticed that he gets the cough almost every month . I worry so much coz he does not sleep well at night. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your sons' history suggests me that he is having allergic bronchitis. He needs to test the blood sample for absolute eosinophil count to know the presence of allergy. The allergen causing the allergy should be identified by skin prick test and try to avoid that allergen. For the present condition I would suggest him to give1. Tab Least 10 mg once daily for 10 days.2.syrup Tusk DX. The symptoms will improve with these medications. Thank you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | my son had cancer in his testicles, had one removed had chemo for 12 weeks, 6weeks in and 6weeks home, then had radiation.3months later of with the other testicle, same treatment, he has neuropathy in both legs had a toe removed, has no feeling in his legs or feet. had an mri/mra done dr said the nerves are bad but has done nothing. does to much radiation cause all the problems he has been in the hospital 3 times for tramping on nails and glass, because he has no feeling in his feet infections from all of these .can"t get on disability. tired of not getting the right treatment . thank you sir, I know this is long | Your son probably has neuropathy. His nerves must have got effected because of cancer medicines. Since testicular cancer is one which is curable, therapy for cancer cannot be compromised. Sorry that your son has bad adverse effects which usually doesn't happen so badly. Such severe neuropathy requiring amputation is rare. Medicines that can decrease neuropathic pain are available which will allay his pain |
