I am a 35-year-old male with a boil on my leg that is red, tender, and wider under the skin than the visible red spot. What should I do to treat it, and should I be concerned about it?

I’m afraid I might have genital herpes. I have a reddish/white bump on the glans of my penis that’s a little touchy but doesn’t hurt much and has no discharge. I’ve been previously tested for herpes a few months ago and came up negative. What could this be and what treatment should I consider?

I have a sharp pain in my upper abdominal area under my ribs that makes me feel nauseated. This has been happening for years and comes and goes. Recently, the pain has worsened, and I can feel a bulge. Is this serious, and what could be causing it?

I've been experiencing various symptoms including swelling, pain, decreased volume of ejaculation, foul-smelling urine, and tenderness in testicles. I've been on antibiotics twice and my doctor mentioned a slight rise in white blood count.

What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?
