I have been experiencing a headache for the past 2-3 days, which feels sore and pressurized at the top of my head. I also have Arnold Chiari 1, but this headache feels different from my usual ones. Additionally, I have experienced nausea and dizziness, and my speech seems slightly slurred in a video. Should I be concerned about a brain tumor or any other serious health issues?

I accidentally got chemical drain cleaner (Pequa drain cleaner) on my thumb and possibly my index finger. I rinsed it off, but hours later, I rubbed my eye with the same finger, causing my eye to burn. It's been almost 24 hours, and my eye is a little red, itchy, and irritated, but there's no discharge or vision issues. What should I do?

Based on my MRI findings, could I have had the small amorphous T2/FLAIR hyperintense foci within the dorsal pons for a long time, or would they be fairly new? Or is it hard to tell? What do you think caused the T2 hyperintensity seen within the posterior pons?
