Question 1

I'm really concerned about this habit I've developed of inserting my finger into my anus. I did it yesterday, and a couple of hours later, when I did it again, I noticed this slimy, jelly-like stuff on my finger. There's no blood, pain, or any other symptoms, but this always seems to happen when I do it again soon after the first time. Is this slime supposed to be there? Does the fingering cause it? I've read online that other people who've done anal fingering have noticed it too, so is it always present? I really want to stop this habit, and I'm feeling worried. Please guide me on what to do.

Accepted Answer

Rabies Vaccination and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

_Timing of Vaccination_

1. _Immediate vaccination recommended_: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends immediate vaccination after exposure to rabies, ideally within 24-48 hours.
2. _Vaccination during incubation period_: If vaccination is administered during the incubation period (before symptoms appear), it can still be effective in preventing rabies.

_Your Situation_

1. _Delayed vaccination_: You received vaccinations 6-7 years after the initial exposure.
2. _Multiple vaccinations_: You have taken a total of 17 vaccinations from 2008-2016.

_Reassurance and Recommendations_

1. _Low risk of rabies_: Given the long incubation period and the fact that you have not shown any symptoms, the risk of rabies is low.
2. _No need for further vaccinations_: You have already received multiple vaccinations, and further vaccinations are unlikely to provide additional benefits.
3. _Consult a doctor for reassurance_: Schedule a consultation with a doctor or a rabies expert to discuss your concerns and receive reassurance.
4. _Address anxiety and depression_: Consider seeking professional help to manage your anxiety and depression related to the fear of rabies.

Question 2

I've noticed this growth in both my armpits over the past couple of months, and I'm not sure if it's just armpit fat or breast tissue. How can I figure out what's going on, and what's the best way to reduce it?

Question 3

I'm really worried because I've had 20 injections of dexamethasone, gentamycin, and deriphyllin in my buttocks over 5 days. Didn't feel any pain during the injections, but now, two days later, there's pain and these lumps have formed on both sides. Been using thromophob cream and taking Zerodol SP for 10 days, but the lumps and pain aren't going away. What should I do?
