I have a scheduled circumcision surgery tomorrow due to phimosis, but I recently learned about preputioplasty and want to know if I am a viable candidate. My phimosis does not cause any health problems, and I prefer to keep my foreskin. What are my options, and can the doctor performing the circumcision also do a preputioplasty or a dorsal slit instead?

My 18-year-old son was assaulted on holiday with a headbutt to his face. His cheek was swollen, and he has had numbness from his lower eye, side of his nose down to his upper lip since then. The swelling has reduced, but he feels fluid moving when he presses it and gets blood when he clears his throat or blows his nose. What could be the cause of these symptoms, and what should we do?

Why would my big toes start to have a bluish-looking tint, and what could be the cause of this discoloration, especially considering I am on lisinopril/hctz 20-12.5 and have been under a lot of stress lately, chain smoking, and have no insurance?

I have painful, red, warm, flat bumps the size of a tennis ball on both knees and a smaller one on my shin. The bumps appeared on Wednesday and have become extremely painful, affecting my joints. I have not taken any medications and cannot see a doctor until Monday. Should I go to an emergency clinic before then?

My cat has ringworm and my family and I have been exposed for weeks. We have not gotten it. Should I quarantine the cat? It is impossible to keep it off the bedding and furniture, and I can't keep up with washing everything. We have been exposed since February 14th when we brought the cat home from the shelter. What should I do?
