View allI've developed this red rash and some small bumps on my arm after donating plasma yesterday. Now its starting to spread to my face and ears, possibly because I've been touching it. The bumps look like little pimples, and theyre just in one area. They're not leaking or anything though. Could this be a reaction to iodine or nickel? Should I try using creams or is it better to see a doctor? I don't have health insurance, so I'm hoping to avoid unnecessary visits.
The dull pinch sensation and purple spot on your glans corona are concerning symptoms. _Possible Causes_ 1. *Penile trauma*: The pinch sensation and bruise-like spot might be related to minor trauma during masturbation. 2. *Penile fracture*: Although less likely, a penile fracture (fracture of the corpora cavernosa) could cause similar symptoms. 3. *Thrombosed vein*: A thrombosed vein under the skin's surface might cause a purple spot and pinch sensation. 4. *Infection or inflammation*: An infection or inflammation, such as balanitis, could cause similar symptoms. _What to Do_ 1. *Consult a urologist*: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate your symptoms and provide a proper diagnosis. 2. *Avoid sex and masturbation*: Refrain from any sexual activity until you've consulted a urologist and received guidance. 3. *Monitor symptoms*: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms, including the frequency and intensity of the pinch sensation.

I've been dealing with chickenpox for about six days now, and I'm really trying to figure out the best way to take care of myself and recover. Are there specific foods I should avoid or things I shouldn't do while I'm going through this? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to feel better soon.
To care for chickenpox, follow these steps: stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, like water, clear soups, and electrolyte-rich drinks; eat a bland diet of foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet); avoid scratching, spicy, or acidic foods, and drinks like citrus juices or caffeinated beverages; take over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen for fever and pain, and antihistamines for itching; apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to soothe skin irritation; and get plenty of rest, while also maintaining good hygiene practices, like washing hands frequently, to prevent the spread of the virus

I've been struggling with pimples and pimple marks on my face for the last three years, and nothing seems to help. I've tried different face creams, vitamin E tablets, and even acne tablets. I've consulted so many doctors, but I'm not seeing any results. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I should try next?
