I got bitten by a small spider 4 weeks ago. Initially, it was red, swollen, and itchy. I used antihistamines and numbing cream, which helped, but I still have a small hard lump underneath where I was bitten. Why is that?

I had a gastric emptying scintigraphy (oatmeal) which showed a delay in the half time (66 minutes, high normal range 47 minutes) but normal emptying at 3 hours. The radiologist diagnosed it as 'mild delayed gastric emptying.' I have several questions: 1) Is this truly mild gastroparesis? 2) Will it progress? 3) Do you expect to feel better with diet? 4) Do you still think it is not a serious disease?

I woke up with random bruises on my lower leg that changed color significantly within 8 hours. I drove for 7 hours and wore compression socks during the drive. My routine labs from two weeks ago were all normal, including CBC, hemoglobin, and vitamins. What could be causing the bruises to change color so quickly, and should I be concerned about this?

I’m 18, male. I started vaping and was vaping a lot for about a week. I had a tight throat and feeling of a lump in my throat for about a week and a half, then it stopped. I was vaping a little yesterday and I got the tight throat feeling again. It usually lasts for an hour and then stops, it may happen like 5 times a day. I don’t have any other symptoms or previous illness. I didn’t consult with a doctor and do not take any medicine. What could be causing this and what should I do?
