Answer 1

Dermatologist: See a dermatologist. Your eruption occurs in areas of friction. Yeast infections occur in these intertriginous areas, but neck involvement is usually not seen with yeast infections. Since you have such scattered involvement you should be examined for diagnosis and treatment.

Answer 2

Ice: Try to limit the pain killers. Usually an absolute max is 8/day. It depends on the drug and the strength. Cold packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can help. There are many different meds to try if the 1 you are using is not effective.

Answer 3

Question cut off.: You may use the med as prescribed - sounds like 2 pills every four hours. I suspect this was a narcotic med combined with acetaminophen. Be careful not to exceed 4000 mg of Acetaminophen daily. 650 mg of tylenol 6 times a day would generally be safe for short periods of time.

Answer 4

Cartilage: Xray doesn't show cartilage damage. If knee pain is persistent despite normal x-ray then MRI should be done to explore other possible cause.

Answer 5

See a doctor: This no longer sounds like influenza. If flu to begin with this can predispose you to secondary acute bacterial pneumonia which can be potentially very severe and even fatal. Please go to an emergency room asap and be examined and treated. Do not wait. Hope you are better soon.

Answer 6

Phlebitis & others: Pain and inflammation of the leg veins is called phlebitis. When this occurs it can be painful to the touch. The worrisome condition for which you need to get checked is a blood clot (deep venous thrombosis, dvt). This can be checked with a duplex ultrasound of your leg veins to make sure there is flow that is not blocked by a clot in your vein. There are many reasons for swelling so get checked!

Answer 7

Have it evaluated.: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as varicose veins, arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, trauma (fracture, sprain, and tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Answer 8

Depends on your hist: It all depends on your medical history. Your medical history (how this all developed, what medical issues you normally have, what medicines you take, lifestyle considerations), is what lets your doctor know what risk factors you have and allows him/her to narrow the list of possibilities down and come up with just a few possible diagnoses to choose from. Looking at the rash helps too.

Answer 9

Fungus: This is possibly an fungus such as seen with athletes foot. People with athletes foot can have the rash on their feet that will also be on their hands. Try some otc athletes foot medication, if this does not work, then see your doctor.
