My 16-year-old daughter, a gymnast, had an MRI showing subcortical cystic erosion and bone marrow edema in her foot. The orthopedic doctor referred us to an orthopedic oncologist. Does this mean she has cancer? The doctor hasn't said that, but I'm worried. What does the MRI report indicate, and how concerned should I be?

I have Pneumobilia extensively in the Biliary Tree 3 months after an ERCP with dual Sphincterotomies, as shown on MRCP. I also had a small bowel perforation discovered 2 days after the ERCP, which I recovered from with conservative treatment. I have feelings of upper abdominal bloating, can only eat small amounts at a time, and experience painless spasms that sometimes lead to acute pancreatitis attacks. I have lost 8 kgs in weight since the procedure and have a history of acute recurrent pancreatitis. I am wondering how long Pneumobilia lasts and how to find out what is causing this condition.

At daycare, my daughter had pimples on her feet that were thought to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. We quarantined her and applied a homeopathic ointment. All pimples dried up into scabs without spreading to her mouth, face, or hands, and she never had a fever. Was this really hand, foot, and mouth disease?

I have lung cancer and had chemotherapy 2 weeks ago. My legs are swollen, and in the last few hours, I have developed blisters all over my legs. Is this an emergency, and what should I do?

I had a period in September (15-18th) with light bleeding when I wiped, and another period in October (supposed to be 11-14th) with similar light bleeding, saved incorrectly on my app. I experienced nausea, sensitivity, tiredness, and regular headaches between periods, and now I'm having a headache and slight cramping during this supposed period. What could be the cause of this irregular bleeding and symptoms?

I live in Los Angeles, CA, where there has been an outbreak of hepatitis A. I had all my vaccinations as a child and am now 27 years old. How can I ensure my health and prevent infection during this outbreak? Are additional vaccinations necessary, and what precautions should I take in terms of food, water, and interactions with others?
