I have several concerns: small holes or indentations on my middle and ring fingers, excessive hair loss after showering and brushing, soreness and tenderness on my scalp when hair moves, back and chest pain, and a red spot with a circle around it on my skin. What could these symptoms indicate and should I be worried about serious conditions like sarcoidosis, melanoma, or scalp cancer?

I experienced possible exterior anus trauma from accidental anal sex on Friday night, resulting in leakage. I had bleeding the first night, but no discomfort passing stool, no discharge, and no smell. I have no history of constipation and am 46 years old. What could be the issue and how can it be resolved?

I have COVID and I'm terrified of dying in my sleep. I'm 26 years old, take Paxil for anxiety, albuterol for asthma, and have benign PVCs. I'm also obese. I'm experiencing symptoms like a dry sore throat, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, flushed face, fever, mucous in my throat, frequent urination, muscle twitching, and random body pain. My oxygen levels are between 93 and up. What are the chances of COVID causing severe complications like blood clots, myocarditis, or needing a lung transplant? What signs should I look for, and what can I do to manage my symptoms and reduce my risk of complications?

I fell against a hand basin and have what I think is either a bruised or cracked rib on my left side. I am a 64-year-old female and the pain is still very sharp and constant since Friday night. I am taking Panamax, blood pressure medication, and cholesterol tablets. I also have osteoporosis and arthritis. Is there any use going to a doctor?

I've had bright yellow diarrhea for 4 days, accompanied by some nausea and problems eating. My appetite is low, and I can't keep much food in my system. I'm 38 years old, not taking any medications except birth control, and have no other medical conditions. The diarrhea is constant, and nothing seems to make it better or worse. I haven't seen a doctor for this issue. Are there any other details I should provide?
