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?

I had recent tests showing red blood cells in my urine (10+) and urine in my blood (2+), along with squamous epithelial cells. I've had this issue since 2008 but was never informed. Should I be concerned? My doctor is considering referring me to a specialist. What does this mean?

I was diagnosed with anxiety and am on Klonopin and Celexa. I have been frequently burping and have no appetite. I am concerned that I might have stomach cancer. I have been to the ER for breathing issues and had normal x-rays and blood tests. Is this due to the medication, anxiety, or could I really have stomach cancer? Should I go to the ER again, or give the medication more time to work?
