I accidentally got bit on the foot by my friend's German Shepherd, who is very territorial about food. The bite resulted in one small puncture, and the pain has mostly dissipated. I've disinfected the area with alcohol, but do I need to do anything further? I'm concerned about potential complications from dog bites.

I believe I have impetigo and need to go get the correct medication. The wait lines at doctors are very long right now and I am wondering if I can skip the process and just get what I need from the pharmacy. I have a sore on my chin and on my buttock that I have had for about a week. I have not used any medication or anything similar before, and there are no other medical conditions or medications I am taking. How should I proceed?

I have osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and I experience stiffness in my right knee, which causes me to limp while walking. I was prescribed a steroid injection, but I haven't used it yet. Should I go for a cortisone injection when my knee is not causing much pain, and how can I treat the stiffness in my knee?

I have a problem with my legs. I used to be able to walk miles without pain, but now it hurts to walk even one mile. The pain started close to the end of August and is constant. It starts as dull pain and then becomes sharp and stabbing. I am 21 years old, do not take any medications, and have a family history of diabetes. The pain occurs only when I walk.

My husband is 39 years old and has been experiencing bleeding from his belly button, which he notices when he is in the shower. He feels pressure before the bleeding occurs. He has an active job as a police officer and K9 handler, and he avoids going to doctors unless it's urgent. What could be causing this bleeding, and what should we do?
