Question

My 6-year-old has been dealing with this reddish allergy around the mouth for a week now. I started using Pecef Duo 50 oral suspension and Allegra Fexofenadine hydrochloride suspension. Is this the right approach, or should we be trying something else? I'm pretty worried and curious about what's causing it and how best to help my child. Any advice on this would be really appreciated!

Question

I've had this flat black mole under my right armpit for a long time, and it hasn't really bothered me. But a few days ago, I noticed some soreness in that area and felt like my lymph nodes were swollen, which only lasted for two days. It happened right when I got my period, so I'm not sure if theyre related. Now, I've started to feel pain in the mole, especially when I touch it or stretch my arm. I haven't shaved my underarms in a while, so that could have caused some of the discomfort too. Should I be concerned about this?

Question
