My gums have been bleeding on my lower front four teeth for the past couple of days. Now I have started using listerine, it seemed to be working but now I have white soft scabs appearing where the gums were bleeding. I thought it was bacteria but every time I clean them off the gums it starts bleeding again. Any advice on what I should do?

I have a thick light green substance coming from where my upper wisdom tooth would have been. I had all four removed years ago. The same area hurts as if I have a tooth coming in. The gum is hard toward the top of the jaw and then very soft where the flat of a tooth would be and that is where the substance is coming from. I have a dentists appointment scheduled for Next week but should I go in sooner?

My 3 year old has bad hives. I believe they are hives like urticaria but he was diagnosed with eczema since he was 1 year old. Now hes over 3 1/2 and it has exploded covering 80% of his body like rashes, bumps, very dry skin. His skin on legs looks like a bad sunburn and regular baths are a nightmare as the water irritates him as well as ANY kind of moisturizer. He look away Lanoline from AMD and spent over $1k in lotions and stuff alone. Food allegies were done and low on corn, wheat, oranges, soy, and few other items. Just keeping him 100% in home with air conditioner set at 68 degrees with air purifier going, new blanket, strict diet IT DOES ZERO. Im so frustrated. He went from little manageable eczema to a full blown mess. Been to doctors so many times as well as dermatologist and allergist to no aval. Also had soft yellow stools for a long time. Any kind of pressure to face turns it to a red mess and with hot skin.

Hello, Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your son's problem. Unfortunately it is not possible to give on opinion on management without seeing the rash and the extent of the problem. For that I would need photographs and this would require asking a premium question on the site. I'll do my best if you choose to do so. Regards. ...

My Daughter has 5-6 stools a day. She is almost 12 months. She has been like this ever since I remember. It is soft but nit too soft. Sometimes it is quite loose. She is very happy and doesnt seem ti be upset. She has varied healthy diet. Still breast fed, but also has cows milk on food and cereal and formula sometimes. Shall I be concerned?

Is the stool too bulky and frothy? Is she gaining weight proprly? Having ruled out these factors, we can consider this condition acceptable. Initiation of toilet training will help in forming a proper bowel habit and complete evacuation. ...

I noticed a large red spot on my soft palate today. It is sort of bright sort of dark red, smooth, no pain or tenderness. I do not have any sore throat or pain there either. A few days ago I felt pain in this soft palate area but thought nothing of it and never checked. What could this be? It is completely smooth and flat.

This could be anything from an innocuous lesion to an Oral Cancer. Do you have a habit of Tobacco in any form? Get yourself checked by an expert at the earliest ...
