I've noticed a ring-shaped bruise on my back, and it's a bit painful when I press on it. When I touch it, the skin feels smooth. I'm curious and a bit concerned about what this could be. What might be causing this bruise, and should I be worried about the pain?

to determine the cause of the ring-shaped bruise, as it could be a harmless injury or a sign of an underlying condition, such as a fungal or bacterial infection, a bruise from a minor trauma, or, in rare cases, a symptom of a more serious condition like erythema migrans associated with Lyme disease.

I accidentally spilled hot tea on the back of my hand and it's a moderately large burn. I ran it under cold water, then used ice water, and even put an ice compress on it for hours. It's been around 24 hours and it's still hurting. The pain only eases when I apply something cold. What should I do?

I'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.
