I recently had a PET CT Scan with FDG and Contrast, and I've noticed red itchy rashes all over my body the next day. Could this be an allergic reaction to the nuclear medicine or contrast used for the scan? Any advice on how to treat these rashes would be really appreciated. I had the scan two days ago.

I've been using Femcinol A gel for around a year now. Lately, I've noticed small pimples showing up, and my face looks whiter compared to the rest of my body. There are also some tiny black dots and dark spots on my face. Could all this be because I've been using the gel too much, or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?

I've been having these mouth ulcers a lot, usually on the inside of my lip or on my gums. It's like a never-ending cycle, even though I'm drinking plenty of water and taking folic acid supplements. Could there be something more serious going on? I'm really hoping for some advice on what might be causing them to keep coming back.
