I am allergic to soy food products. I recently started making my own soy candles and handling the wax with my hands, which led to a severe migraine-like headache and vomiting. Could the skin absorption of soy wax cause such a reaction?

My finger is swollen because a sharp item went into my finger skin. It feels numb but there is nothing in my skin. What should I do?

I have a wart on the side of my ankle that's been there for a long time. I saw on a TV program that someone used fingernail polish to remove a wart, and it worked quickly. Should I try that or use a wart remover like Compound W or Dr. Scholl's? The wart is about the size of a green pea and doesn't bother me, but I want to get rid of it. What should I do?

I am a 29-year-old registered nurse experiencing intermittent abdominal pain for over a year, primarily in my left abdominal area but also on the right side at times. The pain radiates to my rib cage, lower left abdomen, and back, and is described as sharp and nagging, sometimes taking my breath away. I also experience nausea after eating, discolored mucousy stool, mild swelling and tenderness in my upper left side, and severe joint pain similar to flu-like symptoms, with random fevers. I have been diagnosed with IBS by multiple doctors, but I am concerned that this may be something more serious, given my mother's history of colon cancer. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?
