I woke up this morning with some bruises on my inner thighs, and it's kinda weird because I haven't been doing any intense physical stuff. They're not hurting when I touch them, though. I usually sit in a funny way at work, like with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that could cause such dark purple bruising. What's going on here?

View allI've been taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for acne, 100 mg daily for a month now. But every time I take them, I get really dizzy and feel super weak. The nausea gets pretty bad, and I often have to lie down right away. Is this the right dosage for me? It doesnt seem normal to feel like this. What should I do?
Discuss these side effects with your prescribing doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking doxycycline with food to see if it helps reduce nausea. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication.

I'm really worried because I've had these white bumps on my penis head for like 7 or 8 months now. They tingle when I touch them, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've never had sex, so I know it's not an STD. I used to do dry masturbation by rubbing against the bed, but I've already seen a GP who checked me for STDs and UTIs and said everything's negative. He gave me some Clotrimazole cream to try for a week, but it hasn't helpedactually, it seems like its getting worse. Should I be seeing a dermatologist or a urologist for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called pearly penile papules (PPP), which are small, dome-shaped to filiform skin-colored papules that typically appear around the corona of the glans penis. PPP is a benign anatomical variant and is not considered a sexually transmitted infection. Since the Clotrimazole cream did not improve your symptoms, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management. You can ask your dermatologist about using topical treatments such as Podophyllotoxin cream or Tretinoin cream to help reduce the appearance of the bumps. In some cases, laser therapy may also be considered for more severe or persistent cases of PPP. It's important to follow up with a dermatologist for personalized treatment recommendations and to address any concerns you may have.
