I've never had bruises like this from a blood draw before, and it's been 4 days now. They started out black and have turned dark brown, with a lot of pain and tenderness, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm even more concerned because I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried about these huge bruises and the pain? Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

View allI'm dealing with a situation where my partner's sweat has a vinegar-like smell, and it's really affecting our sheets and bedding. The smell can be so intense that it's almost unbearable at times. I'm not sure what's causing it or how we should address it. We try to keep our room cool and only use light blankets. Any advice on what might be causing this or how to manage it would be so appreciated.
The strong vinegar-like smell in sweat could be due to a condition called "Maple Syrup Urine Disease" (MSUD), which can cause a similar odor. I recommend consulting a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you can try using an antibacterial soap for bathing and washing the bedding with a vinegar solution to help neutralize the odor.

I'm really struggling with my skin during the winter months. It turns really dark and dry, and oddly enough, it actually gets even darker when I use moisturizers. To top it off, I start breaking out with pimples too. It's so frustrating, because my skin is completely fine in the summersmooth, bright, and pimple-free. I'm based in Delhi, if that makes any difference. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
use moisturizer
