I have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing food, experiencing sharp stabbing pain and a feeling of food getting stuck in my throat. I've been using throat numbing lozenges and pantoprazole, but the symptoms persist. I am a 20-year-old female and have had these symptoms for three days. I've seen my GP and been to the emergency room, but no tests have been done. Should I see a specific type of doctor, and is there anything else I can do to relieve these symptoms without needing an endoscopy?

I got a tattoo over a week ago and it was healing fine with bepanthen cream. I switched to E45 cream yesterday and experienced a burning sensation and redness on my arm, which also temporarily spread to my chest. My arm feels sunburnt today and is still red at the crease. What is this and what should I do? Will the redness go down?

I had a severe concussion about 15 years ago from a snow tubing accident and have been on Adderall for hypersomnia for almost 10 years. I experience difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and loss of wording. Can a neurologist determine if this concussion caused brain damage, and is there anything that can help me now?

Hi, I have multiple itchy bug bites on my upper right back, inner back of arm, and right side. They resemble mosquito bites. I have a permanent bump from a previous mosquito bite. Will these bites completely go away, and is there a way to prevent permanent marks or scars?

I had an upper endoscopy two months ago that showed normal stomach mucosa, normal duodenum, and grade 3 esophagitis. No mention of varicose veins. If I had those, wouldn't the doctor have told me? I followed up with a colonoscopy last week which was normal. I have no signs of liver disease and my upper endoscopy report did not mention any varicose veins, so I assume it would have been informed if I had them. Correct?
