Is my 2-year-old daughter at risk of lead poisoning if we move into a home built in 2002 with carpets and unknown prior tenants? Are there any other toxic exposure risks, and how can we mitigate them?

I woke up with an upset stomach, went to work, and then experienced sudden profuse sweating, dizziness, severe stomach, back, and vaginal pain, followed by uncontrollable shaking and freezing. The back pain is constant and feels like burning fire. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My mom had a TACE surgery on her liver to remove a tumor. The surgery was successful, and the tumor is gone. However, a recent CT scan shows a non-enhanced focal lesion of 5 mm. Is this lesion cancerous, and what should we do next?

For the past two weeks, I traveled to Thailand and had protected sexual intercourse with multiple partners. Condoms broke once or twice but were immediately replaced and cleaned. Now, I have minor bumps around my penis, which resemble the beginning of Molluscum Contagiosum, a condition I was diagnosed with and fully recovered from last year. Additionally, I started hair removal laser treatment a few months ago, and my scrotum feels dry and fragile, possibly related to acne treatment with isotretinoin, which I stopped six months ago. I also experienced insect bites during my trip and have a few bites around my body, including the penis area. I'm unsure if these factors are related to the bumps around my penis and how to treat them.

I came in 2 days ago and got 2 prescriptions for an infected tattoo on my right ankle and foot area. The affected area is about 4-5 inches square, and it is still swollen and very sore, though it is drying up and the swelling has gone down somewhat. I have also begun to feel nauseous, and I don't know if it's from the infection or the antibiotics. I am 45 years old and have been using the antibiotics for almost 48 hours. What should I do?

I'm 20 years old, not sexually active, and still a virgin, but I'm experiencing more painful periods and cramps even when not on my period. I'm also obese. Should I visit a gynecologist, and what could be causing these symptoms?
