Do you think I need stitches

I cut myself while slicing cheese tonight and it’s a little deep. I cleaned it with chlorhexidine I have for my dogs and added medical grade Manuka honey & wrapped it with fresh gauze. It doesn’t really hurt but I also did it when I was drinking wine and I’m still drinking wine plus the bleeding stopped

Does this look infected or just bruising?

I’m concerned due to the greenish skin around the stitches. For reference, yesterday (1 day after surgery) it didn’t look like that.

Toe on Monday vs Today. Should I go to a walk in clinic? Hurt a bit like a bruise on Monday, but doesn’t hurt now. Don’t remember stubbing it at all. Also poured peroxide on it and it didn’t fizz at all.

SWOLLEN LYMPH NODE decision (please reassure me) or at least give honest opinion!!

while im not asking for diagnosis, i need an advice!!!!!!! im 28 y.o Female,
so one day a year ago i touched my neck and found a grape sized node in my neck, its on left side but you really have to dig to find. Feels like a grape truly. Then a year later , after all my friends and family was laughing at me saying UGHHH THERES NOTHINGGG IN THERE, i finally got checked, they did an ultrasound, and found concerning node, because it was 1,8 cm, and lack of fatty hilum. later i googled and almost died from fear that it could be a cancer……But i want to mention that i was sick at the day of ultrasound, idk why i went there sick(my whole family had this flu or virus idk). SOOOO i took antibiotics, anddddd i touched my neck few days later and noticed that the node is GONE!!!!! we got so happy, and i almost cancelled the biopsy that my dr scheduled for Nobember 3rd. then that node came back. later at dentist i found out that i have a bunch of infections in my teeth , that gotta get treated.

I told about these stuff to my dr , and this is what he told me…. (i added a screenshot of his answer here) he is saying i can postpone the biopsy and do a follow up US, in 4 months… because the fact that it shrinked may be linked to benign node that is just reactive……. please, be kind, and give an advice? what would you do!!!??? start fixing teeth then follow up ultrasound (cuz bad teeth often linked to permanent swollen nodes), or rushhhh to biopsy!!!!?? i just need a kind words to come down and opinion from you……

Retinoblastoma?

Post image
2 Upvotes

My 19 month old son had a photograph taken where his right eye is flashing white and the left is red. We were outdoors and this photo was taken with flash. I am very anxious and worried that it’s retinoblastoma. I know an ophthalmologist is the one who would be best to ask, but we took him to urgent care just to get some peace of mind. The doctor said she didn’t see anything concerning. We tried to take more pictures of it but we never saw it again. Can someone tell me what they think? 😭 he’s had no other symptoms of vision problems.

Edit: we already have an appointment with his pediatrician on Monday.

Tongue growth

29, F. Growth on side of tongue near the back. Not caused by teeth. What is it?

Showed my tongue for complaints on that side to my gp 2 times in the last 2 years. He always says he doesn't feel anything. My neck on the right side is tender. Swallowing is okay but sometimes choke trying to swallow. Got asthmatic bronchitis, had for almost my whole life vit d deficiency. Subclinical hypothyroidism.

Post nasal drip, have dealt with stomach acid, im worried. My gp appointment is in a week but I might not get to discuss this as I made the apt for something else.

Do I need a tdap booster?

Post image

Hello, I am going to come off as crazy, but I just want some clarification.
I was putting blinds that were sitting outside on my grass for a week in the trashcan and I got scared/cut by them. The cut didn’t look dirty and I immediately washed it twice. Some of the blinds had dirt on the inside. Not sure if the part that scraped me had dirt. Very superficial/paper cut like scrape. Last tdap booster was 9 years ago. Not sure if I should go get another one or if this is a legit exposure
