I have a hematoma on my upper thigh from a fall over 3 weeks ago. It's a hard lump that doesn't hurt unless I lay on it. I'm a 69-year-old female with diabetes and controlled hypertension, taking medications including Amlodipine, furosemide, levemir, victoza, fenofibrate, clonidine, and lyrica. How dangerous is this hematoma to my body, and what should I watch out for?

I'm a 22-year-old female who has been experiencing an itchy feeling and a rash around my lower butt area for about a month or two. I recently noticed a bumpy rash and a cut/tear on the outside of my vaginal area. I'm concerned about what this could be and if it's something serious.

I have been experiencing extreme burning pain down the right side of my body, which subsided slightly but has led to new lesions. The pain has been ongoing for 6 years and is accompanied by a rash that does not respond to anti-fungal or anti-viral medications. I have also been diagnosed with Hoshimotos and have a history of constipation and severe central body pain. I have tried Zatidor eye drops, which seem to have stopped blisters from forming. I have seen multiple doctors, but no one has been able to provide a clear diagnosis. What could be causing this and how can I get a clear answer?

I have no thyroid glands due to a goiter removal and have been on levothyroxine. My doctor has reduced my dosage, resulting in high T4 and low T3 levels, causing symptoms like dry skin, hair loss, and difficulty sleeping. I also have hemocromatosis and take blood pressure and pain medications. What medications might interfere with levothyroxine absorption, do I need to take T3, and is there a better thyroid supplement I could use?
