My child (10 yr old) had hand foot mouth 2 weeks ago. She returned to school last Monday. Currently, the spots that had been on her hands that had been blisters then flattened out are all peeling off. These are turning out to be large areas on fingers, between fingers, palms. She says it hurts and stings. Should I be worried, what can I do for her?

I have been under the weather for the past two days and have spent a lot of time in bed. This morning, I noticed a pain in my inner thigh that feels better with heat or pressure. What are the chances this is a blood clot, especially since I've been inactive?

He can bend his knee without issue but lifting his leg is very painful, and the pain is noticeable even when walking with a cane. What could be the problem?

I have had a persistent crotch itch for a year, which is worse at night. I have tried Bond's powder and a commercial cream (Benadryl) but neither has helped. I also have type 2 diabetes. What could be causing the itch and what can I do to alleviate it?

I am a 36-year-old male who recently experienced an upset stomach, followed by an explosive bowel movement with some blood. My stomach remained unsettled for a few days but then improved. I am concerned about colon cancer, but I have no family history of it or inflammatory bowel diseases, no weight loss or appetite loss, and no constipation. I had a stool and blood test which came back normal. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about colon cancer?
