I'm feeling kind of worried. My hands and feet have been getting really warm, almost hot, but the rest of my body temperature seems normal. I don't have a fever or anything like that, but it's just strange that only those areas are feeling warm. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it?

blood tests (for thyroid function, vitamin levels, glucose levels) Nerve conduction studies (to check for neuropathy) Circulatory tests (like an ankle-brachial index test or Doppler ultrasound) Electrolyte levels (to rule out imbalances)

View allI'm getting this rash in the center of my chest. It mostly shows up at night, and it's slightly itchy and reddish. What could this be? Should I be worried?
Usually it comes while night. It's slightly itchy and reddish. This description sounds like it could be a case of contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) to help with the itching. Additionally, applying a hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid to the affected area can help reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any potential triggers that may be causing the rash. If the rash persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I have this boil on my right thigh that's been bothering me for the last three days. The skin around it is really red and it's pretty painful. What kind of antibiotic should I consider for this? I'm a bit worried.
For the boil on your thigh, along with the redness and pain, you can take an antibiotic like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (brand name Augmentin) 625mg twice a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to help with the healing process.

I'm worried about this piece of glass that got embedded in my left palm near my thumb about a week ago. It's not deep, I think, and there's no pain, just this annoying sensation when I press on it. I'm wondering if it'll come out on its own. Is it possible to take it out myself with a small cut using a clean razor blade? Also, does our skin naturally push out foreign objects over time as it heals from the inside? Would love some guidance on this.
Its better to Visit Surgeon for evaluation and appropriate managment and donot attemot to remove it on your own,
