My mother is suffering from external, painful, and large hemorrhoids. The pain is sharp, stabbing, and throbbing, and the hemorrhoids are not dark purple but very big and external. She has been using ANSO cream for a week with no relief, and no pain relief medication is working. She has chronic inflammation in her knee and a long travel time coming up. What can be done to ease her pain and treat the hemorrhoids before it gets worse?

I have been on a low-carb diet combined with intermittent fasting for 3 months, transitioning towards a ketogenic diet with daily carb intake between 20-50 grams and daily calorie intake around 1500 kCal, reducing to 1100-1300 kCal recently due to a weight loss plateau. I experience occasional dizziness when standing up suddenly, and I am unsure if it is related to my diet. I am approaching 3 months on this diet and would like to know if I am doing everything fine. What kind of blood tests or urine tests would you recommend for someone on a very low-carb diet?

I have a spot on my penis that hurts whenever clothing rubs against it or it is touched. Visually, it looks completely normal. The pain is sharp and comes and goes when touched. It's been this way for about two weeks with no other symptoms. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a mole on my skin that I'm concerned about. I'm scheduling an appointment with a doctor, but I'm feeling anxious and wanted to hear your opinion. Can you review photos of the mole and provide your assessment?
