How to get rid of discolored patches on my hip?
Hello doctor,
I am a 59-year-old female. I have discolored patches on my hip that just recently developed. Within the last month, I have had CT stomach, routine blood work, X-ray but they all returned normal. I do have chronic stress and I have been constantly losing weight and usually go to pass stool two sometimes three times a day. The stool is usually semisolid and there is frothy pale yellow liquid in it. I am not sure what is causing this discoloration, but I am really concerned.

What causes soreness under head of penis?
Hi doctor,
Yesterday I was doing my thing (masturbating) and I noticed a little soreness under the head of penis. I have been going at it probably twice a day lately. I am just a little concerned that it may be herpes. But I have not been sexually active for a very long time. Also, I have had two negative herpes blood test 28 weeks post exposure and again 70 weeks post exposure from my last sexual encounter and both negative. I did test positive for HSV1 though. I usually get between one to three outbreaks annually on my top and bottom lip.
Anyway, I have noticed irritation in that area in the past when I masturbate so I am not sure if it is just a minor chaffing or friction burn or possibly herpes. I am currently being treated for genital warts that my last girlfriend left me with almost 17 months ago. So I am very conscious of any changes below the belt. I did not happen to notice any blistering but the area looks shiny and a little wet. I am not experiencing any pain either.

Why is my baby having red pimples on both cheeks?
Hello doctor,
My baby (one and a half months old) is having red pimples in a cluster on both cheeks. It is very rough to touch and skin appears dry in that area. It does not cause him itching as far as I can see and it is not bleeding or oozing. It has black dots (like when a wound heals) in some areas. Is it a long lasting skin problem?

Could a sore on the leg for over a year indicate cancer?
Hello doctor,
I have sore on my leg for a long time. More than a year, I did shave part of my leg at one point. It became like a sore, but I have a strong history of cancer.
