My son has a white bump with a black dot in the middle on his foot, which looks like a wart. There are also red dots around the area. He has had it for a few days and it has grown and become more painful. He has allergies to milk, eggs, and nuts. What could this be and how should it be treated?

I've been waking up with tingling in my hand and fingers and my left arm for about two weeks. I've only taken Advil for it and haven't seen a doctor yet. I'm a 58-year-old male, right-handed, with no other medical problems, and my blood pressure is normal. I had an EKG and stress test last year, which showed no heart issues. This started after sleeping in a poor-quality bed at Disney World. What could be causing this tingling, and what should I do?

I have a herniated lumbar disc and have been experiencing constipation, tingling in my anus and genital areas, and occasional tingling in my right foot. I am concerned about the possibility of cauda equina syndrome. What should I do until I can get an MRI on Monday?

I had Ferinject infusion in January and my blood test results from last week, three months later, showed slightly increased ALT (40, normal range 15-35), normal TT-INR (1.2), P-TT (74%, normal range 70-130%), and slightly prolonged APTT (41 seconds, normal range 23-35 seconds). Should I be concerned about potential liver damage from Ferinject, and how long will it take for ALT to return to normal?

My son is almost 20 years old and has been diagnosed with disc degeneration in his neck, causing him significant pain. He has had neck pain for a year or two but it has worsened in the last 3-4 months. He has been treated by a chiropractor and takes Advil and Aleve, but nothing seems to help. He is a 6'3" basketball player in great shape and is concerned about the pain affecting his college basketball career. What can be done to help him?
