I noticed a small blister on the top of my foot last night, which has grown larger but is not painful. I had cellulitis and lymphangitis last year, and I'm concerned about getting it again. The blister is not itchy, and I walk and run my dog in parks daily, so there's a possibility of exposure to poison ivy or sumac. What could this blister be, and should I be concerned?

Can you have aplastic anemia with no symptoms, just low blood count? Also, is there an age limit for stem cell/bone marrow transplants?

I take blood pressure medications for high blood pressure. After moving mattresses and walking 4 miles, my blood pressure was 98/61, which is lower than my usual morning reading of 138/78. Is this a cause for concern regarding my heart health? I experienced no chest pains, just a bit of tiredness.

I had a full knee replacement last June, but my knee flexion is only about 100 degrees. I suspect the implant might be too large and wonder if this is limiting my movement. What can be done to improve my flexion, and is further surgery necessary?

I have a small bump on my shaft that doesn't itch, secrete fluid, or move. It has been present for about three weeks and was there during a recent skin irritation that cleared up with yeast infection treatment. What could this bump be and should I be concerned?

I took 2 hydrocodone 5 3.25 on Saturday and one on Sunday. Last night I took 2 6-panel home tests and they were positive for opioids. This morning I took a 12-panel test and it showed opioids with a very faint line. My test is tomorrow. Does this mean the hydrocodone is clearing from my system? I've been drinking lots of water and took exlax to help clear my bowels too.
