My girlfriend recently suffered from Sun Poisoning. Her face swelled up pretty bad and she developed a scab on her cheek. Her swelling and scabbing have began to subside but now she is complaining of a severe pain under her armpit. Is this related?

Sun poisoning is another term for a severe sun burn causing symptoms such as skin blistering, pain, swelling, headaches, and dehydration. A severe pain under the armpit is not one of the known symptoms of a severe sun burn. If the pain does not subside or worsens, she should seek medical attention.

I have red itchy bumps on my body, mostly on my arms and stomach, but on my neck, feet and legs too. Ive been getting these bumps for quite a few months now..but i thought they would go away, apparently not. At first i thought i had bedbugs, washed all my bed covers, and exchanged mattresses. But the bumps kept coming. What do i have and how to get rid of it?

First you must determine what the red bumps are a result of. With a physical exam, your physician can determine if the bug bites are secondary to a inflammatory reaction, allergic reaction, or if it is secondary to bug bites. Only after you determine the cause of the bites can you begin treatment.

I had a complete hysterectomy 3 years ago. I have had 2 TIAs and cannot take hormone replacement. I have noticed in the last several months that I develop an itch at and around the vaginal opening. Is this just dryness or could I have a yeast infection? There is no pain.

In most cases, itchiness/dry skin around the vaginal opening in post-menopausal women is due to a decrease in estrogen. Estrogen is the hormone responsible for the maintenance of vaginal tissue and lubrication. During menopause or after a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (surgical removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries), there is a . . . → Read More: I had a complete hysterectomy 3 years ago.
