I have a large orange tinted blister/boil on the top of my foot, about the size of half a golf ball. I have cellulitis and had hip replacement surgery 13 days ago. The blister has been present for ten days, and I've been on Keflex antibiotics for six days. What should I do now, and should I go to the ER if the blister ruptures?

My sister has been sick for months with unexplained weight loss, digestive issues, and no definitive diagnosis from a gastroenterologist despite scopes and CT scans. She had her gallbladder removed 5 years ago due to function issues, not stones. Does an Endocrinologist check the function of the pancreas, and what other tests might be relevant for her condition?

I recently had a large red, bumpy lesion that has since flattened and turned purple-reddish. I now have another one forming. What could these lesions be, and what can I do to treat them?

I had a D&C for a missed miscarriage a month ago and was wondering if the pregnancy hormone remains in the system even a few weeks after the surgery? I’ve taken 2 at-home pregnancy tests 2 days apart and both came back positive. How long until I’m able to try to conceive again?

I had an epidural yesterday for back pain and also have diabetes. My blood sugar has spiked to 397. Should I go to the ER? I have constant achy back pain, increased fatigue, and feel warm. I take Trulicity shots once a week for diabetes, insulin daily at night, gabapentin, and vitamin B12. My current blood sugar level is 301, and I've been feeling warm, have a headache, and slightly dizzy, but my temperature is normal.

I’m experiencing discharge, burning, itchiness, pressure on my vagina when I cough, and abnormal sensations when I sit. I’ve started treatment for a yeast infection but am concerned it might be a prolapse. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
