Can I ask one question? I had lovely Pakistani kebabs with my family last night. Is it possible for the food to pass through me in 12 hours, especially if I go to the bathroom 5 times this morning? (Sunday is my worst day for OCD). Tonight, I go out again. Can I see black stuff in my stool from the kebabs within 12 hours? Also, I have a little mole/pimple under my right eye that has been there longer than 10 years and hasn't got bigger or changed color. Is this okay? Is it benign? I also found a red mark on my arm when I woke up. I scratched it a bit and it was red. Is it just a cut? Finally, now that they have checked the polyps and found they are benign, they are just doing another colonoscopy in 1 year because I had 5 and to make sure no others come along. If they had done this colonoscopy when I turned 50 instead of now at 45, could it have been more serious, or is the likelihood they would have been okay in 5 years, especially the 3cm one?

Our 10-year-old son has been experiencing occasional 'tickle attacks' in his left arm that last for 5-10 seconds and occur without any clear trigger. Shortly before these attacks, he feels a one-second warning of numbness. There are no dermatological signs, pain, neck stiffness, or medical illnesses associated with these symptoms. What could be causing these attacks and what can be done to alleviate them?

I had a tummy tuck 3+ years ago and have an ongoing rash at one area of the incision. It appears as a red lump, hot and itchy, and can spread over a 4-5 inch area around the incision. Both the surgeon and my regular doctor have no ideas on what it is. I just use Benadryl cream to treat. What might this be and is it a concern?

My alkaline phosphatase level is 294. I'm worried about what this means. I saw a doctor who wasn't very concerned, thought I had a virus or something, and I'm not taking any medications. I drink too much alcohol. What should I do?

I rubbed my foot with Noxzema and then Capsaicin, resulting in terrible stinging pain. I have washed it with warm water and soap. What else can I do?

I have been taking temazepam for 8 years due to panic attacks following the death of my mother and near-death of my daughter. I have tried to stop taking the 7.5 mg dose three times but cannot sleep and start to panic. How can I get off it?
