Question 1

i have black pants. i noticed that i had white spots on the crotch, but only on the inside. could it be my discharge, because on the outside there are really no spots there. or is there a possibility that i may have sat in a flow?

Accepted Answer

: If your underwear is clean, those white spots are not due to vaginal discharge. Without underwear, vaginal discharge can't be ruled out. In general, you should note or feel the discharge if it is heavy enough to stain your pant.

Question 2

what does it mean when the white spots from tonsillitis starts to turn black after starting an antibiotic regimen?

Accepted Answer

The infection is: likely responding to the antibiotics and the pus is turning color.  Necrotic tissue can also give the darker/ blackish appearance which would indicate failure of therapy with antibiotics.  Rely on other signs (i.e. worsening pain, worsening fever, weakness, increased phlegm or shortness of breath, etc.) to give you an idea if things are better or worse.

Question 3

Question 4

black spots, white spots, and lumps in my mouth. not sure what it is. i've been smoking for roughly 4-5 years.

Accepted Answer

Not sure either but: Go to dentist and if he is worried by them he will send you to an oral surgeon to remove them and do a biopsy. And stop smoking! It's terrible for your health! There are many stop smoking aids and programs.

Question 5

white spots on black skin: on the shins, thighs, arms & stomach; what's the cause & what should i do? help please!

Accepted Answer

Raindrops: I'm assuming it is not vitiligo. Please go online and look at pictures of the extremely common non-disease called (idiopathic) guttate hypomelanosis. It's not dangerous or a sign of serious illness, and it's famously untreatable (the rx's are worse than the "disease"). If this is what you have, consciously decide to like it (most folks can do this). Guttate means "raindrops".

White MRI spot: These white spots are non-specific. It can be due to ms, but we usually see them in people with history of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Question 9

what are the white spots inside my babys mouth?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Those white spots in your baby's mouth can be thrush. This is an infection with a fungus called candida that is common in babies. It causes white plaques on the tongue and mouth that can occasionally bleed. An oral anti-fungal medicine can help eliminate the infection, especially if it makes it uncomfortable for your baby to feed.
