Understanding the Cause of Unusual Marks on My Feet
After wearing high-heeled sandals for about two hours, I noticed some striking marks on my feet once I removed them. This is a completely new experience for me; I haven’t reacted this way before, even though I haven't worn heels in several years. At 31 years old and having just undergone a myomectomy, I’m uncertain if that could be a factor. For the past two weeks since my surgery, I've been taking 2000 mg of paracetamol daily, along with 30 mg of codeine each night. Additionally, I’ve started taking 20 mg of omeprazole once a day for the last week and I use cetirizine daily as well. I’m becoming increasingly concerned about the severity of this reaction. Generally, I consider myself to be in good health; however, I can't help but wonder if this might indicate a problem related to circulation. What could be the underlying cause?

Main Points: Unusual marks on your feet after wearing high-heeled sandals may result from pressure, irritation, or circulatory issues. Given your recent surgery, it's important to monitor these symptoms.
Wearing high-heeled sandals can create pressure points on your feet, leading to unusual marks or indentations, especially if you haven’t worn heels in a while. Factors like foot swelling, irritation from the material, or even post-surgical changes in blood flow can contribute. Your recent myomectomy and the medications you’re taking (paracetamol, codeine, and omeprazole) can also influence your body’s response. While it's understandable to be concerned about circulation, the marks may not indicate a serious problem.
Next Steps:
-
Monitor the Marks: Observe if the marks persist, change in appearance, or are accompanied by pain, swelling, or color changes in your feet. Note how long they take to fade after you remove the shoes.
-
Foot Care: Ensure you allow your feet to rest and recuperate. Soak them in lukewarm water and gently massage them to promote circulation. Avoid wearing high heels for extended periods to reduce the risk of further irritation.
-
Footwear Choices: Consider switching to more supportive footwear when possible, especially in the upcoming weeks as you recover from surgery.
-
Symptom Diary: Keep a diary of symptoms, noting any changes in the marks and any other unusual sensations in your feet or legs.
-
Nutritional Support: Ensure you’re eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support circulation, such as vitamin C and E.
If the marks persist beyond a few days, worsen, or if you experience pain or swelling, increase the urgency of seeking professional advice. Let me know if you have further questions or need more tailored guidance.

Is It Safe to Enjoy Alcohol After Taking DayQuil?
This morning, I had a dose of the Walgreens generic version of DayQuil, approximately between 10 and 11 AM. Considering I might want to have a few drinks later this evening, around 10 or 11 PM, I’m curious if that would be a safe choice. Perhaps I’m thinking of having about three drinks. If there are any concerns regarding this, I will reconsider my plans. As a healthy 22-year-old woman who has recently recovered from an illness, I took my final dosage of DayQuil this morning for precautionary reasons. Your input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Experiencing Excessively Warm Palms?
I've had this issue since childhood. At random times throughout the day, I notice that my palms become very warm. They don’t feel like they’re burning, but they get uncomfortably humid, pink, and almost too hot, as if I’m overheating. Immersing them in cold water provides temporary relief, but the warm sensation tends to return after a day or two. At night, a similar problem affects my legs; even mild warmth prompts excessive sweating while I sleep. I find that forgoing a blanket helps alleviate the discomfort a bit, but, like with my hands, I’m on the lookout for a more effective remedy, especially since this has been increasingly troublesome. Just to give you some context, I’m a 28-year-old male in decent health. Could there be an underlying reason for these symptoms?
Is My Recurring Hand Eczema Linked to My Cockatiels?
Greetings! I have a query that I hope someone could help with. I’m a 25-year-old man, and I’ve been dealing with persistent hand eczema for quite some time. The affected region consistently appears on the back of my hand, particularly around my knuckles and extending toward my thumb. The rash manifests itself as small spots that range from red to a more salmon hue. Interestingly, I own some cockatiels, and during a period when I was away from them, my condition seemed to improve. However, since returning and observing them flapping around, which disturbs the sand in their cage, the eczema has reemerged. Could there be a connection between my birds and this localized skin issue? Or given that the same areas are consistently impacted, might this indicate a different underlying cause?
Discomfort in the Throat: Seeking Insight
Hello, I'm a 21-year-old assigned female at birth. I feel a bit foolish for being concerned about this; I often find myself overanalyzing my feelings and battling my anxiety. For the last several days—though my memory isn't the best, I believe it's been approximately four days to a week—I’ve been experiencing a peculiar sensation in my throat. It’s not painful, and there aren't any noticeable changes when I feel it or check in the mirror; my partner hasn't observed any differences either. The sensation feels somewhat like a mix of numbness and tingling. Interestingly, the discomfort diminishes when I lie down or support my head with a cushion or plush toy, and it also eases when I gently press on my throat. Is this something typical that people experience, or do you think it's worth consulting a doctor? I would feel a bit embarrassed to schedule an appointment for something I perceive as trivial, if that makes sense. • Medications: paroxetine (30mg daily) and alprazolam (between 0.25mg and 1mg daily) • Diagnoses: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), social anxiety Thank you for your understanding. Wishing you a wonderful day!
Is Frequent Ejaculation Harmful?
Age: 20 Height: 6'1" Weight: 180 lbs Fitness Level: Physically active and muscular Medications: None Recently, I had an encounter with a woman in her early 40s, whom I met online. During her work trip, we got together at her hotel from one afternoon until the following morning, and we ended up having intercourse a total of ten times. Each time, we used protection. The next day, after returning to my dorm, I felt fine initially—showered and attended my classes without any issues. However, by evening, I began to experience some discomfort in my testicles. The following morning, this discomfort escalated, radiating to the base of my shaft. Importantly, there are no signs of bruising, swelling, or any visible injuries. I noticed that during the last few orgasms, I ejected very little semen, which is unusual for me. This leads me to wonder: Is it possible that I could have inflicted some type of internal damage on my testicles? Given that we were engaged in doggy style for a majority of our sessions, could the repeated movements have caused any internal harm over that extended period? Today, while the soreness has dulled slightly, there’s still pain when I touch my testicles or when I sit. Should I consider consulting a healthcare professional about this situation?
