29F with lupus — non-blanching, slightly raised red spots on foot. Possible purpura/vasculitis or something benign?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

I noticed a small cluster of red spots on the top of one foot about two days ago. Initially, I thought they were caused by friction from my Birkenstock straps, but after checking, I realized the spots don't actually align with either strap.
There were initially around four spots, possibly increasing to six. They became more prominent yesterday but haven't noticeably changed since. They're slightly raised to the touch, do not blanch with pressure, and are neither painful nor itchy. 
For context, I have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a history of abnormal clotting-related bloodwork, including possible lupus anticoagulant abnormalities and low platelet counts. I also bruise unusually easily and sometimes develop large, dark bruises with little or no apparent trauma. Vasculitis has been raised as a possibility by specialists in the past, although a previous workup was negative.
I frequently develop petechiae from relatively minor pressure, such as carrying grocery bags or wearing a backpack, and occasionally notice them spontaneously on my chest and breasts.
I realize these spots could be something completely benign, like insect bites, but their non-blanching appearance, slight elevation, and my medical history have me wondering whether they warrant further investigation.
Does this look concerning for palpable purpura or cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis, or could it reasonably be something more benign? Is this worth getting evaluated promptly, or would monitoring for a few days be reasonable?

Unable to eat 31/F NSFW

I have so much going on that I am currently waiting on referals for. Because of unknown health reasons I am physically unable to consume more then an average of 243 calories a day and less then 16oz of water a day. I have lost over 70 lbs in 9 months. My blood work is only showing mild dehydration. The ER and my primary are not doing anything except giving me a GI referal, appointment scheduled for mid November. Can I survive until mid November with my current intake capabilities? Is my fear out of line and I just need to trust them or should I keep folowing my instincts and demand medical intervention?

-reposted for clarity.

1 Upvotes

Hi i started taking citalopram 2 days ago honestly the side affects are horrible im honestly not sure if my anxiety has caused these symptoms because i started feeling them like 2 hours after taking the meds and i dont know how long it takes to absorb it but I feel as if my heart is racing , my mouth is tingling, numb and dry, couldnt sleep the first night, its making me feel constantly sick and im getting worse anxiety about taking the medication also one of my biggest problems is thoughts of dying in my sleep and its been non stop. My doctor told me to stay on it because the side effects will get better he said this before i started taking it. Is it worth riding it out will these side effects go away.

So me and my girlfriend had an interaction on 14th october. Her ovulation is expected on 21st or 22nd october. We both were naked and i was just hovering my p*nis over her vagina. I did not put it inside at all and was just hovering over and also I didn't ejaculate near her. She is very very scared of being pregnant at this age (19) she has been getting scared what if the precum was deposited and traveled inside which might make her pregnant I do not know how to calm her down because I myself is panicking after looking at her getting scared like this about precum situation. Im not sure if there was any precum (most probably not because it didn't feel wet). Pls pls help me out here and tell what are odds of her getting pregnant and please keep her biological clock and no penetration situation in view.

My boyfriend has this problem with his beard. NSFW

28 years old. 171 cm (5'7"). 65 kg. He is a tobacco smoker. He has suffered for years from back acne (which was treated with isotretinoin) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in his armpits, but this seems different. What is it? They are itchy and painful, resembling a rash of pus-filled pimples.

The dermatologists don’t know what it is; they have prescribed clindamycin, doxycycline, clarithromycin, retinoids, and topical antifungals. However, the problem has worsened rather than improved. This has been going on for 1 year and 2 months.

Finger turned black and it hurts

Hello, my grandmother is 60 years old. Recently, her ring finger has become numb and turned black. She also feels pain in the finger, as if it had been caught in a door. It has been like this for a week. What could be the cause, and what should we do?

Chronic dry, "riverbed"-like, scaly skin on feet/ankles + occasional swelling + cold feet

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Started ~4 years ago, dry/scaly patches on top of my feet, then around the ankles the following year.

Two years ago it got quite bad and started spreading onto my legs a year ago.

No new shoes, mostly wear open flip-flops at home, so friction/new material isn't the trigger.

Was given OTC hydrocortisone 3 years ago, which helped a little but hasn't resolved it.

Using urea ointment, Vaseline and Shea butter to manage dryness and some occlusion.

This past year I've also noticed occasional swelling in my feet, and dry patches now spreading up the outer sides of my lower legs/shins.

My feet also get very cold once I'm in bed at night.

No known underlying conditions. I've seen the GP twice for this over the years.

Trying to figure out if this sounds more like eczema, stasis dermatitis/venous insufficiency, a circulation issue, or something else (thyroid?) before my next appointment, so I know what to ask for.

Photos attached — my phone's camera seems to smooth some of the texture out in person, so it may look worse/different in real life.

Thanks

Splint slip? NSFW

I had a septoplasty yesterday and I can see my splint on my right side plus I can feel it in the tip of my nose on the right side. I left a VM at the ENT for their AI system to hopefully call me back. Is this something I should worry about?
