I'm really worried because I donated blood on Monday morning, and the next day I woke up with terrible itching and red spots and bumps, mostly on my thighs but some in other areas too. I took an Avil tablet in the morning, and it helped a bit, but by night, the itchiness came back. It's unbearable. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and how I can make it stop?

The itching and rash you're experiencing after donating blood could be an allergic reaction to the anticoagulant or other substances used in the blood collection process; continue taking Avil (antihistamine) as directed, apply topical calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to affected areas

View allI've got these yellow nails that are really painful, and I'm not sure who I should see about it. My fingernails are turning yellow, and it's worrying me. Any idea which doctor is best to consult for something like this?
Yellow nails can be a sign of a fungal infection or other underlying health issues. You can start by using an over-the-counter antifungal nail cream like Lamisil cream twice a day on the affected nails. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Terbinafine. Make sure to keep your nails clean and dry, and avoid wearing nail polish until the condition improves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with multiple sebaceous cysts on my scrotum that cause a lot of itching and discomfort. Is there any way to treat them without surgery? If so, what options do I have for managing this?
Sebaceous cysts on scrotum need hygiene and topical antibiotics; if recurrent or infected, minor surgical excision is definitive.
