Update: The doc said it's an infection, and that it's normal to find stuff discolored if it has gone through trauma. Basically, "dude, trust me, experience" and just threw me out the office with some antibiotics

Ok, update... I haven't seen a doc yet because of hectic schedule, but the purple spot got a bit flakey, aka dead skin flaked off a bit. I remember thinking-- Uh oh. Maybe this is the big one, the big C, but I'm trying to stay calm. Of course im still gonna go get it fixed, but could this still...

There was a time where my mouth seemed infected, with sores and painful, bleeding gum. It cleared up after some lifestyle changes, so hey, it happens. I also heard some pregnant women experience gum bleeding. Since you recently had a child, maybe it could be a hormonal issue? I'm not too...

Any clinical doctors would do, right? I do believe I ruptured the sac. I never really thought about draining them because I have quite a lot of them in relatively unnoticeable area (genetics, ugh). That's possible. I just think it looked bruised so maybe there was bleeding underneath?? Or could...

Hi guys! I need reassurance on a skin problem that has been bothering me. I seem to have a cyst under the skin with no opening pores, and when I applied pressure, it popped under the skin, and caused a bigger area of a bump. It has been months and it hasn't gone away. Yesterday I noticed it...

Dating apps is a good idea, but the execution is a bit... Hmm. People don't seem to connect well on there, it's usually a "hi" and "bye" convo. But every once in a while you hit jackpot--- that's like, five women out of 100 though. I'll try that again (reluctantly) if it really comes to that...

My anxiety keeps telling me that the fact that I'm into only women just makes my chances of finding love even smaller. I understand that it is a normal thing, but I don't like that statistically speaking I have a smaller dating pool.

I am only 19 years old but I just had my first ever serious date with a woman I really like. My brain keeps feeding me information such as "What if you guys broke up?" "What if she's the best I can ever get but then she leaves me?" "What if she's fed up with someone that's plagued by anxiety?"...

Thanks for the in-depth answer! I just worry as this has never happened before, and it's not like I can identify the actual cause. Thanks for the reassurance so much!

I woke up this morning with swollen eyelids and trouble opening my eyes wide. I also noticed a bug bite on my brow so I don't know if these are related. My eyes are watery and more itchy than painful. Currently putting ice on the eyes sooth the itchiness. For certain reasons I'm unable to...

Does anyone else feel tired and find it difficult to concentrate no matter how much they have rested? I'm currently in college, and there are a lot of assignments and general life stuff that demand my attention. I find myself unwilling to go to sleep at night, and even if I slept 8 hours, I...

Your mind is jumping from one thing to another because you are very alert about your health all the time, with does not mean there has to be something wrong. You just think there is. Objectively speaking I don't think there is any evidence to suggest you have anything serious to worry about...

Adding on to this, I think a slightly elevated lymphocyte level is pretty normal, since your body just fought off an organ infection, and your immune system might be still on guard, which is a good thing actually. And I have a few neck bumps too, if they are connected to the skin and not that...

My mom had a mammogram done and the thing beeped, the nurses looked serious apparently and it freaked her out. it turned out to be some benign things that women could just have apparently. This happened to her friend too. So just in case they found something and you're freaked out, it's not...

I was told that if you have appendicitis you will know. At least you will know something is wrong and you'd get help, since the pain is sharp and pretty crippling. Basically you couldn't miss it. I've had bad stomach bugs that I went to the ER for, so I can only imagine appendicitis. And you...

It probably will not "end" anytime soon, but we should be able to develop vaccines and better treatment soon, so it will be manageable. I can't wait til vaccines start coming out so the restrictions can ease up a little bit.

Thanks everyone for the responses. My jaw pains have disappeared completely now, and I still do not know the cause. However, I have noticed that my ear canal is no longer blocked since my jaw pain resolved, so they are probably related. Thanks again!

I am not super worried about this but I still want input on what it could be. I have pain in my jaw under my right ear, especially when I'm yawning or chewing. This has been happening for a week, I cannot recall any injuries that could have caused this. Goggle told me this is called TMJ pain...

Hey there! I have had GAD as long as I can remember. It affected my childhood, my studies, and really flared up when I was 15 years old. I had heart palpitations all week, and was convinced I was dying. I remember staring at the window wishing I could just jump off and everything can be over. I...

Hi there, sorry to know how much this is distressing you. You mentioned that you seem to only feel hot and achy when indoors? It's a pretty telltale sign of anxiety, since when you're indoors you would likely focus on your symptoms and how much they seem to have worsen. I know people who have...
