I have been experiencing pimple-like sores on my hand that have developed into raised red lesions with widening openings and yellowing pus. These sores never heal and are spreading to other parts of my body, causing pain, itching, and affecting my memory, vision, and movement. I am concerned that this could be myasis, a condition caused by parasitic larvae, and I am struggling to get medical professionals to take my condition seriously. What could be causing these symptoms and what steps should I take for diagnosis and treatment?

I am traveling abroad and have been sick with bronchitis or possibly pneumonia. I still have a deep cough and chest congestion, but it now seems to have also moved to my nasal passage and I have head congestion. Does it mean I’m healing when it moves from chest to head?

I was wondering if these bumps in the throat by the tonsils are normal.

Do I have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)? I've had soft stools for a while and sometimes diarrhea. Sometimes my stools are healthier, but I'm worried it might be something chronic.

Hello Doctor. I have a concern about a wound near the raphe line, which may have affected the appearance of the raphe. I am worried that I might have removed part of the raphe line. Could you elaborate on whether the raphe line runs deeper in the skin and if it would be noticeable in the location of the wound? Additionally, if the top layer seam was cut off, would it grow back? I have sent photos for your review and am open to sending more if needed.

Can you stent a left posterior cerebral artery that is 90% blocked? I have left-sided head pain, blurry vision, memory issues, difficulty finding words, and fatigue. I was previously diagnosed with IIH. What happens when someone has a 90% block in that artery? What medication treats it? Are blood thinners enough? Can I show you a picture of where it's blocked? What happens if I have a tiny distal artery allowing some blood flow? Will my memory problems or the brain fog I'm feeling get any better? Does a blocked artery cause intracranial hypertension? Do I have to worry about this being fatal? How much will the medications reduce the blockage or can it? What causes this kind of blockage? Can this cause severe pain in arms and legs? What does thrombotic state mean? What actually treats the headache pain? Can you tell me what segment that’s blocked in?
