I took Methylprednisolone 16 mg for 2 days and stopped. After 3 days, I developed pain on both sides of my head, jaw, and teeth, along with eye redness. My random blood sugar was 112 mg/dL at 7 PM. Please advise how I can manage these symptoms. Could I be at risk of black fungus (mucormycosis)? I am attaching my blood reports, including CBC, CRP, and blood sugar.

Random sugar 112 is normal. Post steroid symptoms may mimic infection. Black fungus risk is higher in uncontrolled diabetics. If eye redness or facial pain worsens, see a doctor urgently.

Question

My herpes test came back negative, but I am experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and during masturbation. I have also done a urine culture and HIV 1 and 2 tests, which were negative. However, the skin on my penis and shaft looks abnormal. Please see the attached photos and guide me on the next steps. I am getting married next year, so I am concerned and need advice.

Question

My random sugar is 175, am I diabetic?

Question

I have been experiencing white discharge due to a fungal infection for the past 1 to 6 months. I have consulted multiple doctors, and they prescribed oral antifungal capsules for 6 nights and topical treatment for a week, but the infection keeps recurring. This has become very frustrating. Sometimes I experience severe itching and excessive discharge. I am married, but we are avoiding sexual contact because the infection and irritation make it uncomfortable. I have done blood tests, and everything, including thyroid and blood sugar, is normal. Could you please advise how I can completely get rid of this infection and prevent it from recurring?
