My husband has been struggling with swelling and a burning sensation in his wrist for the last couple of weeks. His recent blood work showed a high CRP of 7.12 mgL and an ESR of 11 mgL. Plus, he's got a very low vitamin D level, sitting at 9.23. I'm worried about what might be causing the high CRP, especially since I've noticed his skin turning red near the painful area. The doctor recommended he take Calcirol, CoQ10, and Shelcal HD 12. Could these actually help in reducing his CRP levels?

A small, hard, and painless lump under the skin can be concerning.
Possible causes:
- Ganglion cyst: A common, benign lump that can develop under the skin, often near joints.
- Lipoma: A harmless, fatty lump that can grow under the skin.
- Calcification: A small deposit of calcium that can form under the skin.
- Benign tumor: A non-cancerous growth that can develop under the skin.
What to do:
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or a dermatologist.
- Examination and diagnosis: A doctor will examine the lump and may order imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound or X-ray) to determine the cause.
- Treatment options: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve monitoring, removal, or other interventions.
When to seek immediate attention:
- Rapid growth: If the lump grows rapidly or changes in size.
- Pain or tenderness: If the lump becomes painful or tender.
- Redness or swelling: If the surrounding skin becomes red, swollen, or inflamed.

View allI've been dealing with this gout issue for the past four days, and I'm not sure which doctor I should see about it. I've already taken 8 pills of goutnil, but I'm still having trouble. Can you recommend what type of doctor I should visit or anything else I might try?
Yes, you can still get the wound dressed. In fact, it's recommended to dress the wound to promote healing, prevent infection, and reduce scarring. *Next Steps* 1. *Visit a doctor or a nurse*: Go back to the same healthcare provider or visit a nearby clinic to get the wound dressed. 2. *Clean and dress the wound*: The healthcare professional will clean the wound, apply an antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a bandage or dressing. 3. *Monitor for infection*: Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 4. *Follow-up*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the wound is healing properly. Remember to keep the wound clean and dry to promote healing. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

My wife recently went to the doctor because she's been having some joint pain. She's only 33, and the doctor recommended a CBP test and an ESR test. The results show her Total WBC Count is 11200, her absolute lymphocyte count is 4480, and her ESR is 22. I did a bit of research online and found out that a high WBC count could be alarming and might even indicate cancer. Are these results something we should be really worried about? Do they suggest anything serious we should be aware of?
Thats not at all related to cancer,it signifies acute microbial infection no need to worry and donot over think,follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried because the right side of my upper chest is super tender and sore to touch. I got an MRI of my sternum and a breast ultrasound done, and both came back normal. But it's so sensitive that even a piece of paper against it feels unbearable. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
