sore dry ring round pinis?

Question

Have sore bruised feeling in my pointer and ring finger knuckles, theyre slightly reddish purple and itch, the skin isnt dry and not really swollen?

Answer 1

Infection near Penis: This could be psoriasis (a very common place in men for this condition to occur) or it is a fungal infection. I would advise you to get to your family clinic to verify.

Answer 2

Infection: Typically, a tender swollen lymph node means your body is trying to fight a localized infection. Most of the time, these events are self-limited. If you are having fevers, the tenderness increases, and your skin overlying the lymph node becomes extremely red, you will need to see you doctor for additional treatment.

Answer 3

Several things: Lymph nodes are a site of inflammatory response and immune reaction. Swollen, tender lymph nodes are a common response to bacterial or viral infection. Lymph nodes can also enlarge and become tender in certain autoimmune diseases. Lymphoma is a type of tumor that develops in lymph nodes and finally certain types of cancer will "drain" cells into a lymph nodes and spread to those nodes.

Answer 4

Many options: When a patient has a sore throat and it appears to be viral without any antibiotic needed -- the focus should be symptom relief and this includes the following: drink plenty of cold fluids, (not warm or hot tea- this will only increase swelling in spite of recommendations from commonly held wisdom), take anti inflammatory meds like advil, aleve, (naproxen) etc., eat soft nonspicy food and rest!

Answer 5

Sore Throat: There are many causes of sore throats. If suddenly occurring, i would suspect a viral cause, especially if associated with sudden fever, headache, and cough. A sore that last for more than a few days is generally due to an irritation such as acid reflux or allergies. If you have fever, with swollen glands in your neck, suspect a bacterial cause. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin may help. Persists?See your doctor.

Answer 6

Drink,rest,pain med: Most sore throats will improve with simple measures: increase fluids, get plenty of rest and take a pain reliever. You may want to gargle with warm salt water several times daily: ¼ tsp. Salt to ½ cup water. Some people will use honey in tea. If you have any trouble breathing, increasing pain, pain on only one side, fever above 101, a lump in your neck or recurring sore throats c a doctor asap.

Answer 7

Fatigue: The list of things that can cause fatigue would fill this room. You need blood work. It could be anemia, or a thyroid issue. Or, you could have an infection you are unaware of. In addition, oftentimes, fatigue is a symptom of depression, or you may think you are getting quality sleep at night, but are not due to some form of apnea.

Answer 8

Only in AM?: There could a medical issue, new mattress or bad mattress?, sleep apnea? Depression? Question a bit vague, once you get going in am do symptoms improve?

Answer 9

Soreness: Soreness in the morning is a concern. Do you have a very physical job - or started one recently that is? Do the muscles ache - and if so where? How long has this gone on? Do you kick, toss/turn, and jerk throughout the night? Snore? Are you taking narcotics? They may wear off leaving you in worse pain or sore in am. A thorough medical evaluation would likley provide answers as to cause and relief.

Answer 10

Strep?: It's hard to say. There are many causes, but if your complaint is only that of a sore throat and fatigue then you might think about strep if you have no cough and maybe a fever. If none of these symptoms are present and you are of the right age, fatigue might suggest mono which may start similarly. The fatigue though is usually profound. You might want to see your doctor to investigate further.

Answer 11

Many things: Sore throat can result from shouting loudly at sports events; can also be sign or infection (bacterial or viral), usually accompanied by swollen glands in neck. Do you have cough with phlegm or fever? Did symptoms start suddenly or gradually? Sudden could be flu; gradual, cold or strep or sinus drainage. Tiredness suggests possibility of mononucleosis. See doctor for exam & tests to be sure.

Answer 12

Chest pain: This may be intercostal muscle pain. A frustrating, non-serious sharp chest pain. Usually with deep breath , or cough. Indomethacin is good for this. It hurts a lot because these muscles have a linning, called pleura, on the inside of muscle that have sensitive nerves which produces this type of pain. Having said this, if in doubt always see a doctor.
