PSA: If you wear contact lenses, never shower, swim, or hot tub with them in! Acanthamoeba Keratitis is a severe eye infection caused by contact with water containing acanthamoeba. Always use fresh, sterile contact lens solution and wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses to prevent this painful and potentially sight-threatening condition. Prochnow

Headaches in kids are usually harmless, but sometimes they can signal something more serious. In this video, Be aware of warning signs that might mean your child’s headache deserves a closer look—like headaches that wake them up at night, come with vomiting or vision changes, or last for more than a week without improving. Pediatricians work hard to catch these issues early, but as parents, you know your child best. Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to advocate for further testing if something feels off. Teamwork between parents and doctors can make all the difference! 🎥 via IG/

what is this?

23 male and have had a problem biting this cheek for awhile and I have felt this small bump since 2023, maybe even longer. I only started observing it closely back in august, hasn’t changed in shape or size nor does it hurt unless I accidentally bite on it. I plan on having it checked out but waiting because my employers insurance doesn’t kick in until Jan 1st. Should I be more imminently concerned?

Rough dry cracked hands

Had this happening for half a year. Getting gradually worse, went to pharmacy which prescribed working man’s hand cream but doesn’t seem to be helping get rid of it completely. Don’t want to waste doctor’s time over something so simple that I’m hoping should be treatable over the counter at a pharmacy. It’s rarely itchy if not at all, cracks a lot on the knuckles and skin breaks apart very easily.

What’s Causing My Red Ear Flare-Ups?
I’ve seen a dermatologist and had allergy testing, but nothing seems to explain it. I rarely wear earbuds (the derm thought that might be related since I showed a mild sensitivity to something in plastics).

My ears have flare-ups that have been getting worse over the last few years — it’s driving me crazy! I’ve tried lotion, salicylic acid shampoo, and sunscreen, but nothing helps. The redness seems to come and go in cycles, though I haven’t been able to link it to my menstrual cycle or diet.

I’m starting to wonder if an elimination diet might help narrow down the cause. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?

Rash Around Eyes — Tiny Red Bumps Spreading
I recently started wearing contact lenses, and soon after, I developed a rash with small red bumps around one eye. Now it seems to be spreading to the other. It’s not very itchy, and I’ve tried applying Aquaphor over my moisturizer, but it hasn’t helped. Could this be a reaction to my contact lens solution?

Chronic full body rash. Could it be scabies?

Antihistamine's kind of work.. maybe 10%?
I think it's itchier later in the day / overnight.

I have a dermatologist appointment set but it's in a few weeks so I'm posting here to see if these look similar to anyone who's had it.

My small toenail gone thick and dark, please advice

40F.
I have been using tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide to satinise. I have never had such issue with my nails or toenails.
I have used at home gel polishes and biabs.
Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it or podiatry visit is needed?
Thanks
