Took shower with girlfriend. İ got an erection and precum. There was no genital contact. Risk of pregnancy? In brief: Unlikely

Pregnancy requires the placement of fertile sperm in a location where it can swim through the vaginal mucus, cervix & enter the Fallopian tubes to reach an egg.

No contact=no access=no pregnancy.

I applied darlie toothpaste to cure pimple. And it made the skin darker. Looks like burnt skin. How to cure the spot ? In brief: Leave it alone

Toothpaste is designed for dental care & should NEVER be applied to the facial skin.

It will produce a chemical burn that can alter the pigment within the skin for months or even a year. A mild hydrocortizone cream applied once a day for a few days can help if the skin is irritated. If it just has deeper pigment a barrier sun block can help it return to a normal tone sooner than it would otherwise. ...See more

Had celiac artery stent placed 6 months ago. Is it okay to no longer have US monitoring and not be on Plavix if sent was patent. No longer have a MD? In brief: Medical device

If you have a medical device implanted in your body, you should maintain regular follow up with your physician indefinitely.

With stents, in particular, there is a possibility of narrowing or closing off of the stent completely. Therefore you need to discuss with your doctor the appropriate length you should be on plavix. Do not stop plavix with discussing with your doctor first. ...See more

Broke 2nd toe 2 places: distal + middle phalange. Podiatrist said no cardio X 5 wks. No cardio not an option--which cardio is safest? In brief: Low impact exercise

Given your injury, exercises with zero impact on your toe should be considered including swimming, aqua jogging, hand cycling etc, however you should discuss any exercise program with your physician for approval and the need for protective equipment around your foot/toes.
