Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Yes... one can get a Tdap shot if the person is an adult and hasn't gotten a Td or Tdap shot in the last 10 years, regardless of the current incident. No... if the person's tetanus shot within the past 10 years was Td or Tdap, there is no special worry about tetanus in such scenarios.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Get exam: This could be a pilonidal cyst that is causing the discomfort.
A DR will be able to tell you immediately with an exam.

Until then, warm sitz baths, or moist warm packs to the area may partially relieve the discomfort.

Question 10

have had crusty bits deep in head under foreskin of penis for about 5 mo. was grayish-white when first noticed in april, but is now white. painless, virgin, & 20y/o. going to try & see doc asap. saw it was a skin cancer symptom online & im worried.

Accepted Answer

More likely benign: The foreskin can trap a simple skin secretion called smegma. This is a normal material similar to the earwax that can accumulate there. It is less a problem if/when a male retracts the foreskin completely to wash it off on a regular basis. It is fine that you have this checked out, but I wouldn't stress so much before you do.
