Dear Sir or Madam, since my 19th birthday - around 10 years ago - I have been suffering from chronic pain in the right perineal area (male), which started shortly after I moved out of my parents' house, intensified over a few days, and are now const...
Hello Mrs. Gehring, I wanted to seek advice on the last topic again, and also have a small question about another topic, hope that's okay. I have actually already finished with the issue of blistering, which was likely caused by a sting. Over the d...
Hello Mrs. Gehring. For 5 days I have had an inflamed pimple on my thigh, which could also be an ingrown hair. Unfortunately, there has been no improvement since then, it is not getting worse but also not better. I have used Ilon ointment, but it has...
Hello again Mrs. Gehring... unfortunately, the follow-up question was not adequately answered (which I understand!), so here is a new post. You have already answered the question regarding the risk of infection. I am aware that you are not a dermato...
Hello again Mrs. Gehring, I'm starting to feel a bit silly, but my fears come and go. I just wonder why the rash, although mostly healed and relatively quickly, still leaves traces. The previously affected areas are peeling a little bit, and in certa...
Hello again Mrs. Gehring. It's a shame that there was no response in the last post, so I'll summarize briefly again. The rash is still hardly visible, although in some areas (especially in the mornings) there is a bit more redness, as well as occasio...
Hello again Mrs. Gehring, I have an update on my rash and would like to hear your final opinion once again. I believe it was a reaction to the antibiotic - fortunately, the rash has significantly improved. There are no more distinct redness, everythi...
I had a septoplasty done. Attached is a picture from one week after the surgery, splints already removed. As you can see, the (from the front) right nostril is still smaller than the left - due to this small "bump". When I went to the ENT, this seve...
I had a severe bronchitis in March that lasted for over 2 months. Unfortunately, during this time I continued to smoke my electronic cigarette, which of course slowed down the healing process. Eventually it got better, but since then I have been expe...

Hello, I have a problem, I have gotten scars multiple times through small scratches on my hand. They were very superficial scratches and I don't understand why they scarred. I usually apply Fucicort to the scratches just to be safe. Does that help? ...
Good evening, 30-40 percent of all people have the virus in them and can transmit it through sexual intercourse or kissing. When there are open blisters, the virus load is extremely high and one is highly contagious. However, the viruses can also be ...
Even when the blisters and sores have healed, the infection can still be transmitted through saliva, vaginal or prostate secretions, and semen depending on the affected area. This is because the herpes viruses can remain dormant in the infected areas...
My husband should take Cipro for a severe testicular infection. As Fluoroquinolones are under criticism for their severe and sometimes irreversible side effects, we are now unsure. Should he ask/search for alternative antibiotics and potentially slow...
Due to my illnesses (4x pulmonary embolisms), I had to take cortisone for 1 1/2 years. Now I still have the annoying side effects, water retention in both legs + also in the pubic area, so that my penis is only about 4 cm in flaccid state + 7.5 cm in...
Dear Sir or Madam, I need some advice. I had an abscess on my left buttock (a small piece above the anus) surgically removed on 03.04. The wound is now about the size of a 2 cent coin and approximately 3-4 cm deep after almost 7 weeks. I clean and p...
Hello, On 28.01.2017 I suffered a fracture in my wrist. I then received a cast with a thumb spica for 8 weeks. After that, I wore an exoskeleton for 3 weeks, which also immobilized and supported the thumb. After the splint was removed, I noticed a ha...

I have small reddened areas at the urethral opening (on the right below the actual opening). I am female, 59 years old, with no previous illnesses. There is no blood in my urine, no pain, just a slight feeling of tenderness. Could this be a urinary t...
Dear expert, I have had a rather diffuse problem for about 3 months that I can no longer properly classify. In short, it started with problems with bowel movements. Despite having a normal soft consistency, the need to use the toilet was already ind...
Dear Sir or Madam, I have pain in my left arm in the area of the elbow and wrist when making certain movements or applying pressure. In order to better prepare for a possible doctor's appointment, I would like to know possible diagnoses and treatmen...
Hello, I am 44 years old and male. For about 25 years I have been suffering from digestive problems. I only became really aware of this when I was a young man. I often had loose stools about 2 to 3 times a day and a slight burning and pressure sensat...
I had/have an acute bronchitis with mild fever of 38.5 to 39 about 2 weeks ago (since 20.09). This was treated with antibiotics. The sputum is white again, but in the last 5 days there have been occasional traces of blood in the mucus. (That's why th...
