How do I know when I am having an infection?

December 22nd, 2023

I have a rash-like, itchy area above my ankle that is very irritating and will bleed if I scratch hard. The skin is very dry. I have been to a dermatologist who did a biopsy and said it is from poor circulation and he could not do anything. What type of doctor should I consult with next?

I have not received an answer to my question about thrombocytosis. Can someone please provide some help?

My daughter is 9 years old. Around 1 year ago, during play, her hand was pulled. After a few weeks, we noticed her hand never gets straight except if we massage her hand, especially at night when she wants to sleep, but it goes back to being bent (slightly). The lower part of her biceps and tendon is stiff. We did an X-ray and MRI, but neither showed any issues. Can you tell me about this, and can I be optimistic that she will be normal again?

I'm a 49-year-old male with swollen lymph nodes under my armpits that appeared after intense yard work and exposure to biting fleas or chiggers from my dog. My wife also has a swollen lymph node under her armpit. Should I make an appointment to see my doctor for a biopsy, or should I wait to see if it clears on its own?
