Hello doctor,I have been waiting for over a year to meet with a rheumatologist in my area. I am 39 years old, and a year and a half ago I was in the best shape of my life, having 10 % body fat, working out 4 to 5 days a week. I own my company and work on a computer daily, and my hobbies include tinkering with the computer, building guns, and doing a lot of things with my hands that require fine motor skills. I have lost that ability lately, I have lost the sense of feeling in roughly my thumb and index finger. My thumbs are both swollen at the joint, all of my knuckles get red and warm, nothing I take seems to help (although I have not taken any rheumatoid medication yet).I am just getting very depressed, frustrated, and just want some sort of help on easing my symptoms and getting back to a normal life. My knees and ankles occasionally give me issues, as well as my toes swell the same as my hands.Please see something happened on foot below . I do experience dry eyes frequently. I would like a recommendation as to what I need to tell our local rheumatologist if I ever get in to see one. I have a general practitioner that is working overtime trying to help in the meantime, but she is out of her realm on advising any treatments prior to getting into the specialist. Any advice will be greatly welcomed as I am just at a loss for how everything has changed in the last year and a half. I have taken tons of over-the-counter medicines and nothing works. I just want something to help take the inflammation away so I can be normal again.

Hello doctor,I had a small lump on bikini line for six months and did not think too much of it. It is now grown to about an inch or so. It is slightly oval in shape, feels hard, rubbery, and is fixed in one spot. I am unsure if it is a deep, infected ingrown hair, or a swollen lymph node. It is located directly between my thigh and vulva. I was also diagnosed with gutate psoriasis last year and have had a mild rash or skin discoloration on my back Please doctor see the current condition below ever since (during the original outbreak the spots were all over my torso and some in the pubic region). I read that psoriasis can be linked to lymphoma, so that is what worries me most.

Hi doctor,I developed a stye around seven months ago in my right eye (lower lid). The stye took almost six months to get rid of, it is not fully gone and is still there. I used warm compresses but I thought this was quite a lengthy process. I have now developed a stye on my left eye (upper lid). The bump is swollen and formed a round ball.Please doctor see the eyes below I have again tried warm compresses and it seems to be making it worse. I am now trying salt and warm water soaks. I have also been to the doctors and had blood tests, etc., and all came clear. I just need advice on what I need to do to get rid of this. I have been washing eyelashes daily.


Hi doctor,I (female, 38 years) had my first outbreak of corneal herpes five months back. It was treated incorrectly by a GP first with Cortisone and antibiotics. The eye doctor put me on Acyclovir cream and later added Cortisone drops to prevent scars. After a month, while on vacation (lots of sun and salt water) it came back. I did not recognize the signs at first and thought the redness was only due to irritation.Please doctor see the eyes below . It lingered, so after coming back home, I was put on Acyclovir orally. Two months back, the dye did not show any active ulcers, so I could lower the oral dose to 400 mg and use Cortisone drops again. Last week for a check up the dye showed two active ulcers again.I am really shocked and scared now. My doctor did not say if it was stromal keratitis or not. Is there a way to tell. I have always had 100 % vision since the lesions are not in front of the pupil. But I do not know why I had a recurrence even while on Acyclovir. Could the Cortisone drops be detrimental. My doctor said to increase the dose back to 800 mg and stop Cortisone.Is there a way to clear this for now. I do not know if I had two relapses or if this never really healed in the first place. Is there a way to prevent such frequent outbreaks at all. It is difficult not to stress when I fear I will go blind.

Hi doctor,I am a 33 year old female with a history of erythema nodosum. I used to get outbreaks over my bilateral shins and ankles. Last bad outbreak was probably around seven to eight years ago. I woke up this morning with pain and swelling of the lateral parts of both the feet around the cuboid bone.Please see something happened on foot below . The strange thing was that it continued to hurt with radiating pain throughout the day. I made a podiatrist appointment. After x-rays and examination, he diagnosed me with peroneal tendonitis and gave me orthotic boots and ankle braces to wear. The doctor seemed confused by the swelling and the fact that this happened so acutely with no injury, increase activity, etc. However, it did not hurt me until I reach home. I am realizing that the pain is so familiar, like my nodules, which I used to get on my shins. I am just wondering if it could really be erythema nodosum on that part of my foot and especially being that it is occurring bilaterally at the same exact location on each foot. Is this possible. Thank you so much for your help with this matter.

The pink layer of skin is reflected under the scab. I had flawless skin before this. Will the marks leave a scar or only spots will be formed with these. I have attached closeup pictures. What should be applied to the skin spots. Can I apply any collagen boosting cream or Mederma. How much time will it take to bring back the flawless skin naturally. What can be used to remove spots at the earliest. I had many on the scalp too. I have moderate hair fall. Follihair is not helping me. Kindly suggest.

Hi doctor,I am a 29 year old male. I developed a skin infection on my face. It is in three places. One on the right corner of forehead, one just near below my right eye and then one just below my right lip. Symptoms started with some itching and redness.Please doctor see the current condition below  Below my lip some kind of small blisters were first seen. Then later I felt more tingling, itching, burning sensation and crawling on the skin. I went to a dermatologist in my locality and he prescribed tablet Teczine and Flucort cream for a week. Then on my second visit, he prescribed Zanclav and Cortimax. And in my recent visit, he prescribed Alaspan and Tendrone cream. I will be visiting him again after a month.

Hello doctor,I am a 43 year oldÂ female, and I have had itchy, red, and burning rashes. Please doctor see the current condition below It all started as a few bumps on my right arm, above my eyebrow, right upper nose area, all over the jaw and chin area, right chest and upper back react badly to theÂ sun, and it is getting worse. I have had a lot of blood works done, which were all negative for lupus and other things, although I hadÂ a high hs-CRP. I have only one grandmother with a history of severe neurodermatitis, and I had asthma when I was younger. I am worried because of a sun exposed rash which was finally biopsied, showed anÂ interface dermatitis with mucin and suggests either lupus, tumid lupus, dermatomyositis, a connective tissue or collagen vascular disorder, even though no vasculitis isÂ seen. I am worried sick. Is a biopsy conclusive for these diseases. Do I have any one of these diseases. I feel that these rashes are hormonal, but it does not go away and gets worse during PMS and if I consume alcohol. I have no family history of lupus nor any other one of these. I have no muscle issues. However, there is some red discoloring on my fingers. I do take Cipro on and off for diverticulitis. Applying any form of steroids cream helps with theÂ itching, and then makes it even worse. Please help.

Hello doctor,My right eye occasionally gets swollen.Please doctor see the eyes below  I do not have any pain, itchiness or watery eyes. But this comes like once in every three months or four months. It would be there only for one day and gets better later. I initially assumed it to be because of body heat since I get this only for one day. It was very difficult to get an appointment with a doctor on that day to show my eyes. However, I continue to have this problem. I researched on the internet (because it is highly impossible to meet a medical practitioner here) and I understood that the cause might be because my right eye tear duct is getting blocked, although it is my assumption as the place between my nose and right eye corner gets swollen. A day or two before the swelling starts my right eye gets a bit teary and I feel like rubbing the right eye often. It would be nice if you could advise what could be the reason for this and whether I should immediately consult a practitioner here.

Hello doctor,I am experiencing intermittent pain in between the head of the first and second metatarsal joints in both feet. There is no apparent limitation to the range of motion. I have also experienced a bit of a stinging pain in and around the big toe joint. Pain occurs while wearing certain footwear. I have begun to supinate a bit to avoid the pain. The pain is before the joint more than the joint itself. No apparent swelling.Please see something happened on foot  below . When not using feet or not wearing footwear, there is no pain (unless I press).Last year's X-rays came up negative except for small heel spurs. As pain is more prominent in right foot, podiatrist only X-rayed the right foot. He said that he could not find a reason for the pain. I have asked him for a format report several times and have not received it after two weeks. Please note that foot had athletic tape wrapped around it just below the metatarsal joints, which seems to appear on the photos.I have compared both X-rays of the metatarsal joints (last year and this year) and can see no difference at all, except the shadow of the athletic tape near the first metatarsal joint. I know it is a shadow as in some of the pictures, you can see a three-dimensional shadow surrounding the toe. However, I am not a radiologist, but a philosopher. Your honest and professional opinion would be appreciated.


Hi doctor,I shave my head with a razor blade once in a few days as if shaving my face. I have been doing this for seven years now. Four years ago, my doctor noticed that I had a discoloration on the back of my scalp.Please doctor see the eyes below  He said it was nothing to worry about and had probably always been there like a birthmark. Now, a few years later, it has never actually gone away. It has become bigger, more pronounced and red all the time. It does not itch ever, but it does stay red and feels rougher than the normal skin to touch. It just looks like a bright red rash that never goes away. It does not turn scaly or white and also does not flake off to my knowledge. I do not have a lot of anxiety over it, but it is extremely embarrassing to the point where I do not show my full head a lot in the public. Could it be folliculitis. Could that last for years. Please help.

Hello doctor,I am a hypertensive 31-year-old. ECG, TMT normal, echo normal except mild concentric LVH. On Telmisartan/ Amlodipine (80/5) at night and Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide (5/12.5) in morning. HCTZ was started one month back but after monitoring Na, K are alright but uric acid is on the increasing trend. So, instead of HCTZ can I shift to Aldactone. I do feel I have slight (very mild) , maybe Amlodipine-induced  as I am on 10 mg daily. Please doctor see the current condition  below .Earlier, despite Telmisartan and Amlodipine, my BP was high but when HCTZ was added, it was working perfectly for me. My BP now is in the range of 120/80. So, I do not want to remove the diuretic. One of my medical friends suggested Aldactone may be introduced. It has no effect on uric acid, is that right. Kindly help me.


Hello doctor,I have this issue on my collarbone where my skin constantly reacts and breaks out since high school. I would wear crew neck shirts to cover it. More recently I have controlled breakouts with a salicylic acid skin wash but it is more than breakout prone skin. I also cannot wear necklaces because they create a weird rash. Please doctor see the current condition below I never have a reaction to any other part of my body. There is also something odd about the pores in that area of skin. They are always raised and stretched looking. I went to see a doctor in high school and she basically shamed me and said I was not cleaning the area properly.

Yesterday her fever subsided and now she does not have the same. She did not have a cough, cold, etc. But she lost appetite and she also had left eye white area red. The redness also has disappeared now. She did complain of a little bit of nausea and headache. But yesterday everything subsided and she recovered well. But, yesterday night we saw red bumps around her face, forehead and chest area. It itches sometimes.Please doctor see the eyes below . I am attaching the image for your reference. These bumps are slightly raised. Rest she seems fine now. Her appetite has increased as well.On the second day of her fever, she fainted briefly (a little bit of saliva came out from her mouth) for 5 to 10 seconds. She recovered quickly in a minute or two. This happened in the early morning when she woke up and stood. She had moderately high fever throughout the night.


Hi doctor,I am suffering with tonsillitis for past three years. Nearly four months back, my tonsils got swollen.Please doctor see the current condition below . Followed by that the right tonsil remains the same and the left got subsided. In these four months, I had few episodes of pain in my ear. Also the glands in my right side of neck got swollen. I had Azithromycin, Erythromycin, Penicillin and Clavamax but the swelling of the tonsil and the glands did not go down. What should I do to prevent further episode. Does the cold temperature affect the tonsils.


Hello doctor,For three months now, two days after finishing a 21-day course of antibiotics to clear an E.Coli UTI, I have redness on my meatus and lighter redness on my glans and also intermittent irritation of the foreskin. Please doctor see the current condition below All this with no itching, no discharge or pain whatsoever. I have been tested for UTI again and also all possible STD's and all are negative. I was sent to a dermatologist and she told me it might be a yeast infection and prescribed a two time 150 mg of Fluconazole which had absolutely no effect. I also prior to all my visits to the doctors tried treating myself topically a week at a time with multiple creams such as Canesten, Fucidin, coconut oil, shea butter which all do nothing but hydrate the skin. I have been taking probiotics and antifungal supplements, following a low sugar diet for almost a month and nothing cuts it.I am starting to wonder if it could be something else than a fungal infection since nothing I have tried is working. Could it be bacterial. Are symptoms different. And if my symptoms are causing no pain could it be something else than an infection.

Hi doctor,I am 51 years and nondiabetic. It seems I am suffering from balanitis for the past two weeks. Earlier, I had the problem of ringworm, but then after medication of Clotrimazole ointment and oral tablet Terbinafine, it was treated. After a couple of months of that problem, I noticed two weeks back, red rash on the ring of my glans and foreskin with burning sensation.Please doctor see the current condition below  I checked on the internet and used Clotrimazole ointment with FourDerm and Terbicip. It got subsided, but every time after a bath, it emerged. I also keep hygiene around my genitals and also washed it with warm water with salt. However, it did not get cured but remained controlled. Two days back, I consulted a dermatologist, and he suggested to stop all that and instead apply DK Gel and take AF 150 orally, one tablet every three days after dinner. It has become redder and has covered the complete foreskin with redness and swelling. I checked with the dermatologist, but he said it is due to the use of steroid FourDerm ointment, and that it will subside in 7 to 8 days. It burns and is too sensitive even if it touches the cloth. I am attaching a picture of my penis. Please help.

Hi doctor,Since last week, I have been feeling itchiness around my body, Please doctor see the current condition below especially arms, feet, abdomen, and back. At first, it started every night, but it starts to feel itchy in the afternoon too. Now, the itch kind of calmed down, but every time I scratched, my skin tends to form weird raised lines which look like rash bumps, but in a weird line shape which is not really caused by how I scratched it.

Also, the rash does not go away after a while, sometimes it just stays there. Now it mostly forms around my back, breast, legs and arms. Is there any cause of this. Please advice.
