I accidentally mixed toilet bowl cleaner with another highly toxic chemical in a school bathroom, inhaled the resulting chemical gas, and experienced immediate burning in my nose and later dizziness and vision issues. It's been 24 hours, and I'm taking Advil Cold and Sinus. What happened, and should I seek medical attention?

I have been experiencing my testicles moving up inside my body after frequent sexual activity, and they sometimes switch sides or twist, causing pain. Additionally, I had a painful incident a few months ago where my girlfriend leaned back during sex, causing a crack at the base of my penis. Could this have caused my testicles to move up, and is this a serious issue?

My friend has a neck mass that initially looked like a heat pimple, but after picking at it, it bled and then increased in size, hardening into a bigger mass with a bloody scab. The mass has strands that look like black strings, and it eventually formed a large hole in the neck area with a smaller hole inside. We are concerned about a possible infection under the skin and its contagious nature. What should we do?

I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus about four years ago and have been taking medication for it. Recently, I was switched to Pantoprazole Sodium 40mg once a day. Is this as effective as Aciphex, and is the dosage correct? Additionally, two subsequent endoscopies show Barrett's in a stable form. How long can I remain in this state, and will it ever develop into full-blown cancer? Can I do anything more to manage it? Also, can supplements like fish oil and niacin affect the medication's effectiveness, and are there any lifestyle changes I should make to avoid aggravating Barrett's?

I have been itching in my right hand sporadically for the past three years. I am in remission for multiple myeloma for two years and have had oral chemo. Lately, the itching has become more rampant, and I have been taking Claritin for it, which helped in the past but not anymore. The itch is now moving upward, and I feel like I am crawling out of my skin. What should I do and what could this be?
