Dr. Aparna - My son has autoimmune urticaria and his school of 140 students has just confirmed the first case of H1N1. The vaccine is not yet available in my area and I believe that not only is he in a higher risk category of H1N1 because of his age (14) but is also being pushed into a higher risk category due to the above. I want to keep him home to do his work until the vaccine is available. Is this justified and because of his condition will the vaccine be ok. He had tolerated vaccines well. Last month he had menactra wiith no side effects. His urticaria relates to the cold stimuli. I am keeping him home today and want to go to the principal to discuss this.

Hi,
I have bites from Chitter bugs as well on my legs and lower back and they bite in 3 places at a time. They leave very dark spots on my leg for 2 years. Is there anything to remove those spots or what are my options?
Please advise.

Hi dr. i saw your response to another post about a rash and i was wondering if you could help me figure this one out. I'd been using aldara for 2 and a half weeks to treat hpv, which made my skin tear open like paper. then i got my period, i used pads the whole time, and i ended up with a large raised rash that peeled like a sunburn. its been almost four weeks like this, really raw and bumpy and spotty looking. im wondering if this is likely due to the pad, blood, or could it be something worse? the dermo didnt see it but he said dont put cortizone on it bc it can spread warts. any advice?

hello Dr.A,
i saw your response to another post about small blisters on the big toe and only there. it started off with just itching on the big toe skin but all of a sudden a single tiny blister showed up. it kept going on like this for a while until i got two at a time with one being slightly bigger. it bugged realy bad so i popped it cuz i couldnt walk and now i have about 7 and they really itch and actually hurt and then i get sudden sharp pains down my whole foot. please help. also my nail is starting to get yellow and and ridges are forming. by any chance would miconazole help??? i think thats how you spell it. thank so much for your time!

Hey, you just responded to my post, but the bumps dont itch at all, and the bump on my penis has been there for quite a bit. So it kind of worries me.
