I've noticed a bruise on my thigh, and it's been there for about four days without fading. It's round and has this blue-violet color around the outside but the center is just normal skin, kind of white. I'm starting to get worried. What could this mean?

The bruise you are describing with a blue-violet color on the outside and white in the center is likely a hematoma. To help with the healing process and reduce the discoloration, you can apply a topical arnica gel or cream to the bruise area. Additionally, taking oral arnica tablets can also help with bruise healing. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the product packaging. If the bruise persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've got this painful boil or blister kind of thing on the corner of my left eyebrow, and it's really bothering my eyes. It's so uncomfortable that I can't even rub my eyes if I need to. What do you think I should do about it?

You may have a stye, which is a red, painful lump near the edge of the eyelid. You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Bacitracin or Polysporin on the affected area. Apply it gently on the boil 2-3 times a day. You can also use warm compresses to help reduce the pain and promote drainage. Make sure to wash your hands before and after touching the area to prevent further infection. If the pain persists or if there is any vision changes, please consult an eye specialist.

I woke up this morning with a blister filled with what seems like water on my left leg. I'm unsure why this happened or if I need to see a doctor about it. Any ideas on what could have caused this or what I should do?

That could be heat boil or any sort of insect bite, do not try to squeeze it, visit surgeon for appropriate management
