I have a red dot on my pinky that I noticed around October 23, 2023. I don't remember injuring it, and it hasn't changed much since I first noticed it. I'm concerned that it might be something serious like early skin cancer or leukemia. I had a CBC blood test in January of this year that was normal. What could this red dot be, and should I be worried about it?

I was bitten by an unseen insect on June 15. Today, June 20, I still have swelling, redness, and hardness on my bottom calves near my ankles. The sites are hot to the touch. I'm 68 years old and currently taking Humira, Synthroid, female hormones, and ibuprofen as needed for arthritis. Should I be concerned about the insect bite, and what should I do to treat it?

I have been experiencing constant coughing with phlegm, loss of appetite, night sweats, and some tightness in my chest for 5 days. I am taking day and night cold and flu tablets, and I have had night fever and shortness of breath. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I hit the top of my head on a car 3 months ago. Since then, I've experienced soreness and tenderness on my scalp when touched, which returns after a slight massage. My doctor prescribed gabapentin, but it didn't help and I couldn't tolerate it. There's no rash, headaches, or other issues, but the soreness persists. What could be causing this tenderness, and is it related to anxiety?
