I've been spitting up blood in my phlegm for a week, and it's now almost brown mixed with yellow mucus. I have a little cough, no chest pain, and a slight headache. I'm 23, with no known medical issues except occasional gastritis and frequent sinus infections. I vape and recently had rough sex where my boyfriend choked me hard, causing a sore neck. I'm worried about lung cancer or something serious. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Can someone tell me what this lump is around my anus? I have been experiencing burning and itching for three months, and it hurts when I sit. I am a 37-year-old male with no history of constipation or blood in the stool. I have also noticed irritation when running and sweating.

I had a risky sexual encounter 6 months ago and experienced various symptoms, including weight loss, rashes, flu symptoms, oral ulcers, and pharyngitis. My 6-month HIV test was negative, but my wife developed flu-like symptoms shortly after we resumed sexual activity. Should I be concerned about HIV, and what additional tests or actions should I consider?

I have been experiencing armpit aching and swelling in both armpits for over two and a half weeks. I am a 44-year-old female with no other medical conditions or medications. The issue does not involve itching, burning, or pain, and there have been no recent changes in skincare products, soap, or deodorant. I have taken antibiotics for 7 days but did not see improvement. What could be causing this and how should it be checked?
