Not a doctor. It could be as simple as mastitis. I had it once while breastfeeding, but you don't have to be pregnant/nursing to get it, even men (rare) can get it. This still requires a visit to the doctor, so make it as quick as you can so you can get to feeling better!
This is definitely Tinea Versicolor, which is a non-threatening and non-contagious fungus infection. It's caused by a natural yeast that grows on the skin. You probably live in a hot climate or sweat a lot. It's most common in teens and young adults, which you probably are, and it's most common on the chest and upper body.
It's a bitch to get rid of - you have to wash your body every day with an anti-fungal shampoo like Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders - and even then it usually just keeps the fungus at bay, not completely eliminate it. I'd get started asap because that shit will spread.

The blister is no biggie. Take care of it in the usual way. I do not advocate popping or draining it because it will hurt very badly. It will feel like a burn on the skin under the blister. https://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-blisters/basics/art-20056691
The swollen ankle is more of a concern. You might have a strain or a sprain. Icing it and keeping elevated will help but if the joint itself hurts you should see a doc. It might require taping or a boot. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sprains-and-strains/symptoms-causes/syc-20377938
I just had this happen to me a couple months ago. Learned my lesson the hard way to break in new fire boots anytime before the first fire call.... I had the nasties blisters on the back of my heels and my ankles and feet felt horrible for a couple days.

Were the best purchase I have ever made, they cushioned the blister so I could wear my shoes and the blister healed in a week and a half. I could leave it on for the about 3 days at a time.
Seriously, buy them. They were a blessing for me.
Very very very very unlikely. You have better odds of winning the lottery... Twice. High levels of stress can delay a woman's period, her anxiety will likely contribute if it is late.
She needs to go see a GP about anxiety meds and you both need to learn about sex if you're going to continue having intimate moments. Even if you're both planning to remain virgins, you should learn this information. Here: https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/guide/health-sex-just-the-facts
Steroids also increase the risk of oral thrush, so that is 2 risk factors. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oral-thrush/symptoms-causes/syc-20353533 Steroids work by making your immune system less effective (which decreases inflammation and pain). This does increase the risk for opportunistic infections like thrush.
I personally wouldn't be worried about it if nothing else happens and this resolves with the antifungal. Might be a good idea to take probiotics and/or eat some yogurt to restore your body's natural flora.
That is terrible advice.
what you need is a pumice stone and some heal balm.
you gently scrub the cracked area of your feet in the shower with the pumice stone. Apply the foot balm as per directions. I recommend that brand.
You do not need to spend a lot of money on fancy crap that does nothing, Neat Feat is top shelf.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/nail-fungus/symptoms-causes/syc-20353294
You have a Nail Fungus on your toes. This will be contagious and may spread to your other nails.
You really need some anti fungal medication.
You can try soaking your feet in apple cider vinegar daily. You will need a salicylic acid spot treatment, most likely.
I am not a doctor, just a Mom.
This will take awhile to clear up. You'll need to treat your feet daily. Wash them and let them air dry as much as possible. This might have happened because of a gym or school shower, so wear flip flops in public baths.
If you pick up some foot powder, sprinkle it in your shoes and that should also kill any germs in your shoes.
It's a bear but it happens to everyone at some time or another. Don't let it go or it will spread.

Here is a link to an article by the Mayo Clinic that explains symptoms of different rashes, how they start, and how to treat them. They also have some good pictures you can use for a comparison. Click here to follow the link. That's what I use for reference on weird rashes on my patients.
I smashed my finger a little over 2 weeks ago. I drained the blood the same day it happened (hence those 2 little holes in my fingernail), and it got a lot of the blood out initially, but I think it filled back up blood since then. My finger feels fine, and besides the actual nail, it's completely healed. I don't believe it's infected, but I don't know why it's not getting any better. I read on this website that you can cut off the whole nail, but I'm afraid to try. I did actually cut off a tiny bit, but not the whole thing. Afterwards I cleaned it with alcohol. It says the nail takes 8 months to grow back. Is this safe?
Why would anyone need to go to the hospital for that? It's just Vitamin C and will be peed out.
For adults, the recommended daily amount for vitamin C is 65 to 90 milligrams (mg) a day, and the upper limit is 2,000 mg a day. Although too much dietary vitamin C is unlikely to be harmful, megadoses of vitamin C supplements might cause:
Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting Heartburn Abdominal cramps Headache Insomnia
Phelebotomy is not easy for every one. Especially when your veins are difficult to find, they should use a vein finder (https://www.amazon.com/Illumivein-Premium-Finder-Model-Registered/dp/B07SCMFNTH/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=vein+finder&qid=1610607837&sr=8-1). Now that that error was made, the recourse will be to apply some Hirudoid Cream for a few days for these to disappear. The next time as them to use a Butterfly needle, and a vein finder together,.
There is such a thing as elective amputation, but unfortunately there's also a small chance of DVT from amputation.
Most doctors are deep in debt after college and med school, and most doctors aren't making 6 figures straight out of school, so the interest piles up. In the example above, this person was looking at $3000/month in loan payments.
Now if you look at malpractice insurance rates, some doctors may be making $180,000 a year, but if they are in a high cost state and specialty, they could be spending up to $85,000 to $142,000 in insurance!
The medical profession is really overrated in terms of making money, especially considering the hours they have to work.
That’s vasovagal presyncope. Usually exposing yourself more to the kinds of triggers that make you feel weak and faint reduces the response, but you have to be willing to put up with feeling bad to do that.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lead-poisoning/symptoms-causes/syc-20354717
I would start with looking at possible lead poisoning. Have you or anyone recently bought an imported pitcher for orange juice or tea? Are you serving food from some imported dishes?
The other thing would be to look at mold because of the respiratory issues but the aches and pains made me think of lead.
I wish you and your family well.
Not sure if it's similar, but it's a 'down there' issue. My mother has had thrush before, in her mouth and vaginally. My father has had nothing of the sorts. I have no siblings, and as far as I know any other family haven't had anything.

Edit: I don't think it's atopic dermatitis.

Its called hand foot and mouth disease. I had it and it sucked. It goes away on its own but ur feet and hands are probably going to peel a lot in a month or so. They say its most common in kids but adults can get it too. Heres a link to some info about it. Sucks to be u dude webmd
Being paranoid about your heart is totally legit. Let me tell you, as a medical professional we see things that are absolutely silly. Say, someone calls an ambulance because their kid ate grass --- now that's silly. Their 13 year old took an ibuprofen so they call 911... Frickin silly.
Going to your doctor because you were in an accident and you're having chest pain a week later ---- not silly.
Could be simple as https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/costochondritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20371175 costochondritis.
But I assure you, your doctor will not think you're silly if you just want a check up and to be sure.

Recently there has been some interest in the possible link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer, and that is being further researched as we speak. It’s a pretty complex topic that shows some correlation between type 2 diabetes followed with pancreatic cancer, however it may be related to specific treatments, and not just the blood sugar levels themselves. Basically, at this point, we just don’t know.
> ...researchers found that patients had a 3.5 times higher risk of being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer compared to those on other non-insulin, non-incretin diabetes treatments in the first 3 months after their first prescription for a class of diabetes medications known as incretins. The risks decreased with time. These are hormones that stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin.
Here’s a link with more info for you...
https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/news/20170131/diabetes-warning-sign-pancreatic-cancer
Yes, it will end up killing you down the road. You are at an increased risk of heart and lung disease, along with gastrointestinal disease. Here is the link to the study.
I know, life sucks some times, but the best way to deal with it is to learn healthy stress management. It sounds very hippie and new age, but try meditation when you are getting stressed and feel like having a cigarette. Link to Mayo Clinic source on meditation and stress deescalation Just take a couple minutes at first, move to five, then ten. You don't need to be sitting cross legged, you can lie down, sit in a comfortable chair, anything to make your body relaxed.
Creating healthy coping mechanisms can relieve stress better than cigarettes, trust me!
i have a similar thing lol. My right testicle likes to ascend upwards towards the right side of my groin under the skin, i have to push it back down, it hurts of course but it's been happening for the best part of a year now so it's whatever. It's called a Retractile Testicle.
Contact Dermatitis due to local plant life seems to be the nicest conclusion. Otherwise you might be dealing with a mite of sorts. Could be scabies, which you should try to get treated immediately.
For the possibility of scabies, I recommend the scabies ink test which shows where the possible burrows are. Hit everywhere with rashes.
I just got diagnosed with the damn things today and am taking care of it (treatment is generally quick, but cleaning sucks). Good luck!
Have you had the shoulder examined? Any trauma that might have injured it?
If there's nothing wrong with the shoulder itself, this could be referred pain from gallstones, especially if you've experienced any abdominal pain or gastrointestinal symptoms recently.
Unlikely to be cancer, unless you are a very heavy tobacco smoker before 14.
Could be a haital hernia, GERD (even if you don't have acid reflux), or other stomach issue. Remember that the stomach is directly connected to the esophagus!! Honestly this could even be a matter of having swallowed something harsh, hot, or prickly, or having vomited a lot recently and your throat is just healing.
If you have a hernia, the chest x ray may or may not have picked it up. Unlike cancer, Hiatal /esophageal Hernias are extremely common, even in teenagers. They aren't usually serious. Most people go their whole lives not realizing they have one. It causes any combination of nausea, vomiting, indigestion, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, throat pain, acid reflux.

I'm not a doc, but that sounds like orthostatic hypotension. I normally have high blood pressure, and when my doc first got me on a blood pressure medication that lowered my heart rate to around 45 bpm. I would stand up and nearly faint several times a day. I got to where I would tense up my whole body before standing, to raise the pressure long enough to where my system could catch up. After a couple of weeks I had my doc change my meds, so now I have normal bp and a heart rate of around 60 without the orthostatic hypotension most of the time.
There's also POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, where your heart rate goes too high when you stand up. Paradoxically, both tachycardia and bradycardia can cause low blood pressure. Tachycardia does it because the heart beats too fast and decreases the stroke volume, I think.
For your purposes, you're probably looking for something like The Survival Medicine Handbook: A Guide for When Help is Not on the Way. If you do feel the need to read a bit on anatomy to clear some concepts, I suggest you check out Kenhub (obviously a biased suggestion ;-) ).
Thanks for your response! Just to be clear, is this (or something similar to it) what you are referring to?
Quite likely that you've caused skin irritation due to all of the washing. I strongly recommend that you switch to a moisturizing soap such as Tom's prebiotic and use a mild lotion like CeraVe.
If the rash/dryness worsen or don't improve after this, get with your GP or dermatologist.
If the spots that are really white don’t pink back up in 24-48 hours or it discolors ang looks black/ green go to hospital but from the looks it looks like first degree burn, my friend got a oil burn on her wrist and that was just cream and wrap it was much worse than how his foot looks. He prob got lucky water splashed his foot and he kicked it away real quick. When stuff sits a bit and continues to burn it penetrates deeper layers and infection risk / skin grafts are needed. Looks like a surface burn. It’ll sting like hell, if he has no feeling of pain also contact doctor.

It looks to be healing nicely. But you're definitely going to want to get a different type of bandage.
Something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Curad-Non-Stick-Pads-Inches-Count/dp/B001B5CQQE?ref_=ws_cp_b9672ba4034737b5acfc_p_4_t_p
All of the other advise here is great. I just recommend changing the bandage type out of experience.
Personal: Suffered road rash over 1/4 of my body after a vehicle accident. Used bandages like you have in the image and the fiber would heal into the scab. Which would result in the wound becoming opened again every time I would change them.
Life experience: I am a caregiver for a quadriplegic parent who has had a few minor pressure sores. And non-stick bandages are necessary for him as well for the same reason.

Right?! I feel horrible for my son and the tech as well. After I stopped the video she called the Dr. in and he let her finish the same way. Everyone was baffled. I looked up the tool on Amazon and was considering reaching out to the company to see if they could tell me if it’s the correct blade. Honestly, I think the cast was too tight and some kind of guard should’ve been used. He was in serious pain and she just said “I know the noise can be scary and it can get a bit warm” my son is 10 and should’ve been listened to a bit better. https://www.amazon.com/M-pact-American-Orthopaedic-Cast-Cutter/dp/B0015TB6U8

I believe you may have a case of athlete's foot that is rather advanced.
I'm not a doctor but as a Mom, I've seen this before.
Talk to your doctor and see if you need an antibiotic (if he agrees that it is Athlete's foot).
This might take a few months to clear up.
Maybe you have a "fatty" liver. I'm not a doctor, don't play one on Reddit but I've had some similar results.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-milk-thistle/art-20362885
Consider talking to the doc and see if you are okay with a little Milk Thistle. It's fabulous for helping our liver work better.
I don't drink at all and my liver enzymes run a bit high. Perhaps genetics?
Could you give a little more information like your age and possible heart issues?
Are you diabetic or possibly borderline pre-diabetes/hypoglycemic?

Could be a small wart. You should buy some compound W bandaids.
https://www.amazon.com/Compound-Step-Pads-Salicylic-Remover/dp/B000QWLOZW
Those are gonna cause the top layer of skin to blister, and the dead skin (including the wart) will fall off naturally.
But! Go to a doctor and ask if it’s indeed a wart before you use them.
oops sorry i barely use this website!!! i saved some money and went to a specialist.
Literally a waste of money because the lady just told me to buy stool softeners, prep-H suppositories, and cortisone cream and hope it goes away in 2 weeks. If not then to come back and they would remove it with bands. She also said I could pay for a colonoscopy but i declined.
I forgot about this post completely, since then I have started taking probiotics when i remember lol or after greasy or food that i know makes my poop smear/smell/struggle to push out; occasional suppositories if im feeling irritated (which is usually never).

Obligatory NAD.
I've been plagued by these my entire life. They technically go away on their own, but sometimes it takes a long time. If really bad, I can get clusters of like 6-8 of them in one spot, usually on my right tonsil.
Sometimes you can speed up the healing process with water + salt, but I don't have luck with that. My neighbor swears on hydrogen peroxide (1/3 hydrogen peroxide, 2/3 water), but I wouldn't recommend it. Never helped me and I don't think it's healthy. She also suggests Listerine rinses, but I don't use that either.
I usually "deal" with them by using cough drops to numb the pain (before eating), and lukewarm chamomile tea + honey throughout the day. I was also recommended to use this Chinese dietary supplement by one of my friends, and I found that it sped up the healing process for me by at least 2x. Might be different for you. Amazon's price is outlandish; You can get it in a local Chinese market for $7.99. You can also try canker sore patches (kinda like a sticker you put on top of the sore to prevent irritation and help it heal), but I haven't tried those yet for some reason lol.
Hope you heal quick!

Won't help with the dryness
Get yourself one of theseor a similar product to grind away the dry skin. If needed soak feet in water to soften the skin beforehand. Afterwards moisturize with any low percent urea cream.
The anesthetic cream should help with the pain if you're having trouble walking with those wounds.
Do you have access to the x-rays , so you can post them here? In the meantime I would research “Kyphosis” and “Biomechanics”. Similar condition to Scoliosis, only Kyphosis is described as a “C” shaped curvature in the spine, think “hunchback” appearance, rather than Scoliosis being a sideways curvature of the of the spine. I could be wrong, but in my opinion going through similar pain and also having scoliosis, this sounds like her biomechanics are thrown off. This can cause a lot of problems with pain and discomfort. Because of the slight Kyphotic deformity, it could be pinching some nerves in her neck causing excess tension, pain, and headaches. It would definitely not hurt to try athletic tape to help add support to the neck, shoulders, and upper back. This is the link to the tape I use. (2 Pack) Kinesiology Tape for Physical Therapy Sports Athletes – Latex Free Elastic, 16ft Water Resistant Kinetic Uncut Kinesiology Tape for Knee Pain, Elbow & Shoulder Muscle - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DJ3PBNM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WQT0BTWS12KJV73JRMHJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
For fungal issues I strongly recommend this specific tea tree wash I had itchy nether regions that anti-fungal creams and pills wouldn't touch, but a friend recommended this and it was magic. Wash the region with this once a day while in the shower, leave it on for about a minute each time before rinsing, and that shit clears right up.
Been dealing with this for a few years now, young 29M. I've gone through ruling out all other possibilities. If it's indeed both sides, it's very common for computer users to get it. Muscular in nature. I went to physical therapy and it went away after a few months. Then it came back because I thought working out the rest my body would be enough (normal heavy weight routines)
There can also be tension headaches that can cause this. But if it's chronic, day after day, and you feel it get worse throughout the day most likely muscle related.
My final routine at physical therapy ended up being the following:
Open books (hold 5 seconds, 10 each side) Chin tucks on back (10 second hold, 20 times) Chin tucks on stomach (20 reps) Wall angels (30 reps) Rows (30 reps) Scapula raise (20 reps, 8lbs) T Raises (3lb, 20 reps) Y Raises (3lb, 20 reps) Thread the needle (10 each side) Shoulder pushes (20 reps) Foam roller curl up (20 reps) Band pull apart (30)
If you pursue that, start out small, and work your way up. At the end of an exercise ice or heat.

almost the same but not plastic and things like that!
This is a serious burn! Ouch!
The best is what you’re doing, but ditch the cleaning pads. Those usually contain preservatives they are t good long term.
A clean, non- clinging bandage is perfect. The important thing with a burn is to keep it clean and dry. It will be weepy as it heals. As long as the goop is clear and doesn’t smell foul, you’re ok.
If you develop a fever or there is increased redness or the area begins to feel hot, seek immediate medical attention.
Avoid using neosporin etc. those are really only helpful in the initial stages of an injury and. It great for burns.
There’s a product you might be able to find at your local pharmacy, Amazon has it, something like this. It’s like fake skin. It’ll protect the area while allowing it to breathe.
Be careful in the kitchen! Assuming this was a boiling pot of water mishap. Good luck!

So the one I have I think is from Amazon. Isabel Fay. Fluid enough to have a pump on it. We tried the Astroglide gel recently but...well...back to the other stuff.
8 oz has lasted at least 6 months and still probably have enough for another month. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3GHPUS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_XC6Y85W4ANF5QF274V5Y
Hope this helps. Use it with the toys too. ;)
Look up programs that will block out the blue light and protect your eyes. The most popular one is called F.lux. It gives a yellow/amber tint to the screen but supposedly helps protect your eyes. Or you could buy some "gamer glasses" that have a yellowish/amber tint that does the same thing
spooking is thinking along the same lines as I am. I'm not a doctor, and don't try to play one on Reddit, lol.
​
I'm guessing that you are not a very young adult. Are you also a bit overweight for your BMI?
Hand in hand with diabetes, and our little family has quite a few diabetics, TIA's can often go unnoticed.
​
I am not a doctor nor do I play one on REddit. Your symptoms sound like my brother in law's and they do have a history of heart disease in their family.
I thought that I might point you in that direction and either it leads somewhere or you can cross something off of your list. Rosie O'Donnell is a big advocate for women and their heart issues. Visit her page also.
Her focus is on women and the unusual amount of undiagnosed female heart "alarms and alerts', that our body sends us but that male doctors may be unaware of.

Have you heard of Atrial fibrillation? Your symptoms sound like may fall into that category.
If you look at your earlobes, is there a fold in them?
A fold will look like a wrinkle in your ear, where an earring may go. That fold is one of the small indicators that holistic health doctors are aware of and notice.
It really sounds like an allergic reaction.
Have you ever tried a Neti Pot? It really relieves those symptoms and might 'clear up' some irritating symptoms until you can get to your appointment.

Stye. Warm compresses at least twice a day. https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/eyes-warm-compress. This will cause the infection to point, pop and drain. DO NOT SQUEEZE IT OR TRY TO POP IT YOURSELF. You can make things super bad doing that. Just let it come to a head on its own.
In addition to warm compresses you can put a sterile ointment in it like Stye which softens and lubricates the skin, as well as helps the irritation. This will also make it easier to burst and drain when it is ready.
I have an 80 year-old family member in a similar situation. I'm also trying to understand realistic expectations for length of recovery. Would you please share an update on how your family member's case has progressed?
As for research, here's a NY Times article that discusses post-sedation effects on the elderly and links to a couple of academic studies with some statistical analysis. The primary study referenced states that for those who survived their hospital stay, the median length of stay was nine days, with the majority of survivors discharged to another facility (e.g., rehab hospital).
Here's some info on my family member's case; I'd appreciate anyone with expertise and/or experience offering their thoughts:
Nine days on a ventilator and sedation for a non-covid condition. During that period, the staff backed off the sedation daily; that was done partly in hopes of making it easier for the patient to fully recover from the sedation. It's now been eleven days since the breathing tube was removed. The patient can't swallow, so has a feeding tube. In the first days after coming off the ventilator, the patient could recognize a family member and speak with difficulty, though some speech was not logical. Now the patient is not speaking and largely unresponsive, though vital signs remain stable. The doctors indicate that this is a result of the prolonged sedation and say there's little to be done but wait. Is this within the normal range of post-sedation recovery patterns?
Thanks.
Do you wash your beard? I would recommend changing your soap, and getting a beard brush to help exfoliate the skin underneath.
I am not a beard owner myself, but my husband actually had that same dandruff issue and this is what he's experimenting with right now.
Here is the brush and comb he's been using
And this is the beard wash he uses
I'm so glad you found something that works a little bit for your lips! I'm wishing you luck with this too.
I was able to get the yellow stuff off my tongue. It took a while, but I was able to brush it off. It took about a year, which is annoying. You have to brush up and down, left and right. You also need to press down hard too, brushing multiple times a day too. I brush 4 times a day.

I hope this helps anybody browsing on Reddit. It just took a long time.
Ow, your poor brother! It's not heat rash, though. Alcohol doesn't treat that. It's possible it could be a fungal infection, if the rubbing alcohol helps clear it up. In which case, rubbing alcohol could help to kill it, but it's not a pleasant experience. Try suggesting he use Lotrimin Ultra and keep the area super clean.
Jock Itch. It's a fungal infection. Excessive heat and moisture causes this for me. Daily showers are required to ensure the area stays clean - every other day at the very least. You may also want to use something to prevent sweating a moisture in that area. I use Old Spice's Below Deck Powder Spray. Make sure the rash is treated before using this, as it gets warm after application, by design, and can cause the irritation in the affected area. You can treat the rash with a jock itch cream, such as Lotrimin Ultra (be sure to follow the instructions for jock itch).
I recommend wearing cotton underwear that can absorb moisture.
You should try using this cream called Terrasil Balanitis Relief, seems like it could be what you have not an issue should clear up in as little as three days with day and night use !
This website gives good information on the symptoms of peyronies... it may help you narrow things down while you consider what to do :) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/peyronies-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20353468
I’m thinking there’s a much wider range of heartburn/reflux symptoms than you may be aware of, or have experienced personally. While most people may hear “heartburn” and expect it to come complete with an uncomfortable burning sensation, or even the occasional acid-filled burp, sometimes it presents itself only as pressure and/or even sharp pain, without the usual burning sensations.
It’s very common for people to show up in the ER thinking they are having a heart attack, and have it be heart burn, acid reflux or GERD (especially after a rich meal). It’s often difficult for doctors to distinguish between the two, which is why additional testing is usually done. It’s also common for people to have heart attacks, and mistake the symptoms for HB, AR, or GERD.
Here’s a nice article from the Mayo Clinic about it...
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heartburn/in-depth/heartburn-gerd/art-20046483
You might want to try going plant-based. I used to have very serious orthostatic hypotension where I would be dizzy practically every day and I would faint often. But when I stopped eating animal products and started eating more vegetables, my health improved dramatically. I haven't felt dizzy a single time since 2018. It might not help, it's not exactly a cure, but it's worth trying if you don't know what else to do. Our diet has a big impact on our health. If you're trying it out, definitely take the advice of nutritionists, like Simnett Nutrition, to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need. I also recommend tracking your eating for a couple weeks, just to make sure you aren't missing anything while you get used to the change, with something like cronometer. Good luck!
Oh, no worries. I’m a dork for not looking at all of your pics. You don’t seem rude at all :)
I wasn’t feeling super fantastic yesterday.

Hmm. Well, from the sounds of how broke you are, and the fact that you obviously have some sort of internet access...
Use this tool, type in some info. Not to sound snooty or anything, but from your current situation it sounds like you may be close to the poverty line, qualifying you for completely free medicaid. From there, you'll just have to find a hospital or doctor that accepts your insurance, which you could ask over the phone, and you'll be good to go.
That's how it worked for me. It looks like it depends on the insurer though, so you or your parents will have to contact them.
This source seems to imply that coverage ends on your 26th birthday but that there is a special enrollment period of 60 days after your birthday. https://www.healthcare.gov/young-adults/children-under-26/
Here's a great explanation of causes and treatments
Yours seems very mild, and if it's not eczema, the cream I suggested should still work on most other potential causes. If it comes back, you may need to re-treat, but I'd still recommend seeing a dermatologist to confirm.

if does not get better within the next 12hrs then see emergency or urgent care.
watch for color changes and blistering. it may be a combination of sitting too long and minor frost bite.
Double check and make sure they checked his A1C and blood sugar level. You can request a copy of the blood work.
Also, do you know if diabetes insipidus was ruled out?
I don't agree much with the name because in modern society, it applies to more... it's broader than heights, I would apply it to general self harm.

Please see a doctor. Check for a low-cost clinic in your area:
Especially with the ACA (also known as Obamacare) going into effect, there are lots of resources online to help you apply for health insurance. This government page can help you determine whether you qualify for Medicaid, and, if so, can help you through the process of applying. I'm assuming that you'll qualify considering you have no job (the qualification is by income). Some states expanded Medicare to offer it to people at higher income rates, some did not.
No need to worry about preexisting conditions - the ACA made it illegal for insurance to discriminate against patients on that basis.
Once you get insurance, you should start out by making an appointment with a primary care doctor (a once-a-year checkup is fully covered). They can help you through getting back on your anti-seizure medication and possibly getting help for that chronic pain as well.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there's any other information/explanations that you need.
Would you happen to know which tests for HepC you received, and your results for each? There's an anti-HCV antibody, which is confirmed with a more specific RIBA. There are also RNA tests.
I previously interpreted your OP to mean that the anti-HCV antibody was positive, but the RIBA was negative.
Hey! So, biking is a great idea, to keep fit and get some fresh air while social isolating. However, as others have said, you're probably best to stay away from your friend. But, check out Netflix Party! I haven't personally used it, but apparently it's a great way to watch movies with your friends online. It's not quite the same as being physically with your friend, but in the current climate it might be the best idea. Hope it helps!
I use this to convert units since I am used to mg/dL.

It should never go below 70 (3.9). The 3.4 is worrisome. I have this condition and I drop down to 2.3 on most days. I am in hell. I highly suggest you get worked up for this and treated immediately before it gets worse. I am now homeless with chronic illness (reactive hypoglycemia among other things) and cannot work. Every time I eat my body goes into shock. Family, friends, relatives, doctors have all abandoned me. I cannot help myself. It started with reactive hypoglycemia.
I'm telling you this to scare you because you need to be scared. Health problems are no joke. Untreated health problems will get worse with time. You need to find a COMPETENT Endocrinologist as fast as possible and get this under control.
Don't let anyone bullshit you. This is your body and you know how you feel, so don't ever let anyone else downplay your symptoms. MAKE THEM HELP YOU.
Best of luck.
I don’t know how safe there are but there are mints you can swallow that make your breath taste better Breathcare I got them from daiso ahaha.
