My brother-in-law has a large polypoidal mass in the inguinal region. How complex is this situation and is it curable? He is 41 years old, has had the mass for 6 months, is not on any medications, and has no known allergies or serious medical history.

My 5-year-old daughter jumped off her bed onto her toy box, causing the toy box to go between her legs. She was holding herself and crying, and I saw blood. I cleaned it with a towel, and it's no longer bleeding. She's no longer crying and is now sleeping. Do I need to take her to the ER?

I was bitten by a bug today. When I hit it, blood came out of it. Now, the area looks pretty swollen and red. Is this normal swelling and redness, and what should I do about it?
