I went skiing and my ski boots were too tight, resulting in blisters on the tips of my two big toes. The blisters have burst, and now the tips of my toes are purple. My toenails have turned white, and there are blisters underneath them. There is a foul smell, and when I press down on my toe, white liquid is present. The purple blister is not spreading and is mildly painful, but I can still walk. I am washing my toes several times daily and applying polysporin as advised by a pharmacist. I am currently on vacation. Is it pertinent that I seek medical attention? Is this very serious?

I am a 59-year-old male with swelling in my right lower leg and ankle for the past couple of days. It seems to improve and then worsen. I am concerned because I've heard that swollen ankles can be a sign of heart issues. What could be causing this swelling, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I've had a bad taste in my mouth and breath, bad pain in the middle next to my outer ear and lower part (jaw) especially on my right side cheek, and a dry mouth. My gums seem to be fine. I have been bulimic for a couple of years. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am 18 years old and have had a recurring piercing pain on my right side since I was about 6. The pain occurs just below my ribs and extends into my back, sometimes shooting up to my shoulder when I breathe. I have been to various specialists and had an endoscopy, but no one can determine the cause. The pain used to occur every couple of months but has become weekly. I need help to understand and stop this pain.

I have been experiencing a unilateral headache on the right side, along with my tongue appearing scalloped or bitten on each side, white on the sides, and having a sore bump on the right side of my tongue. Have you had fever with the headache? Is there a skin rash on the skin with the headache?
