I'm noticing these flat red spots on my hands, arms, and feet for the past month. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm a bit worried about what they could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

These red spots could be a sign of a condition called petechiae, which are small, flat red spots that appear on the skin due to bleeding under the skin. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Vitamin C supplements to help strengthen your blood vessels.

I recently discovered a bumpnode on my left breast just below the nipple. It was last Tuesday evening. The next day, I noticed a small dot-sized white pus mouth that gradually grew to 45 mm in diameter and ended up breaking on its own during the night on Friday while I was sleeping. Since then, I've been taking Augmentin 625 and applying Sumag twice a day. I'm kinda worried about what's going on and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if it's something serious. Can you tell me if all this sounds normal, or should I be concerned?

Yes that would help you ,if its not working visit surgeon for appropriate management,and you can also add Tab Enzomac plus for better healing
