Question 1

hello. i have a hard red bump and redness around it, slightly painful on my hard palate. i did eat something hot on saturday. what coukd it be?

Accepted Answer

Palate burn: It sounds like you burned the roof of your mouth, and now it is blistered and inflamed. Ibuprofen and a cool icey beverage may help with symptoms. Most burns or mouth ulcers take 7-14 days to heal and can be quite painful. Sometimes doctors write a "magic mouthwash" with topical viscous lidocaine, prednisolone, etc to help with symptoms. See an ENT or primary doctor if symptoms persist.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Get this examined by somebody who can see it and assess it.

Question 3

a red bump with hardness underneath and red/black head and redness area.. does that sound like a spider bit? located on thigh

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: did you actually see a spider bite you? If not, the bump you describe is likely an abscess. In any event, it should be evaluated by a physician to determine the appropriate course of treatment (I &amp; D +/- antibiotics).

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Unprotected oral sex: can lead to transmission of STDs. To be safe, schedule an appointment with your doc, describe your partners symptoms &amp; sexual habits, so you can be evaluated for any STDs that may have been passed to you orally. Review safe sex practices.
