My sixteen-year-old daughter has had about fifty bruises on her legs for the past three weeks, with no swelling but tenderness to the touch. She has done nothing to cause this, and a couple of years ago, she had a hospital visit for an appendix operation where they found nothing wrong with her appendix but noted a nervous reaction causing stomach pain. What could be causing these bruises and what tests should be done?

I have edema in my lower legs and ankles. One of my knees feels tight and a bit sore, which I haven't experienced before. I am overweight, my father died of kidney disease, and I take a low dose of Lexapro. What could be causing the swelling, and what can I do about it?

I had unprotected sex with a 47-year-old woman while intoxicated 8 weeks ago. Since then, I have developed various symptoms including a rash on my thigh, a rash on my face, pain in the anal area, sensitive skin, joint pain, sore throat, and flu-like chest tightness. I had sex with my 29-week pregnant wife 7 days after the exposure. I am concerned about the possibility of HIV transmission to my child and want to know the likelihood of infection, the legal actions I can take if diagnosed, and whether I should see a specialist for further testing.
