I've got this white spot on my neck and hand that's really worrying me - it came up suddenly and looks unusual. What could be causing these white patches to appear out of nowhere? Should I see a dermatologist right away or is there something I can try at home first? The one on my neck seems to be spreading a bit which has me concerned.

I'm dealing with iron deficiency and was taking Ferrium XT for it. But ever since I started, I've been breaking out with acne on my face. Do you know of any iron supplements that might not have this side effect of acne or pimples?

You can try taking Ferglow tablets, which are a gentle iron supplement that is less likely to cause side effects like acne or pimples. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried about this genital wart around my anus. I started using Podowart after talking to my doctor, but now the whole area is swollen and has turned a whitish-red color. The wart still hasn't fallen off, and there's a weird rotten smell coming from the skin. Could this mean the wart virus is spreading? Is there an antibiotic I should use to prevent any infection? It's even making it hard for me to sit or go to the bathroom.
