Question 1

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation here after getting bitten by leeches about a week ago. Now I've got these dark red acne-like blisters popping up all over my feet.

Question 5

I've got this issue with my right butt cheek that's really swollen, and it's making it hard for me to move around and causing a lot of pain. What could be causing this, and how should I deal with it?

Accepted Answer

Possible Causes

There are several possible causes for the swelling and pain in your buttock, including:

1. Abscess or boil: A bacterial infection that causes a pocket of pus to form.
2. Pilonidal cyst: A cyst that forms near the tailbone, often causing pain, swelling, and infection.
3. Furuncle or carbuncle: A skin infection that causes a painful, pus-filled bump.
4. Cellulitis: A bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissues.
5. Trauma or injury: A fall or direct blow to the buttock can cause swelling and pain.

Recommended Next Steps

To get proper diagnosis and treatment, I strongly recommend that you:

1. Seek medical attention: Visit an urgent care center, emergency room, or schedule an appointment with your primary care physician.
2. Get a proper examination: A medical professional will examine the affected area, take a medical history, and possibly order imaging tests (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound) to determine the cause of the swelling and pain.
3. Follow treatment recommendations: Based on the diagnosis, your healthcare provider will recommend treatment, which may include antibiotics, drainage of an abscess, or other interventions.

Self-Care Measures

While waiting for medical attention, you can try the following self-care measures:

1. Apply ice: Ice can help reduce swelling and ease pain.
2. Take over-the-counter pain relievers: Pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can help manage pain and discomfort.
3. Avoid strenuous activities: Avoid activities that exacerbate the pain or discomfort.
4. Keep the area clean: Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and water to prevent infection.
