My uncle, who is 63 years old and has some health issues, has been experiencing worsening pain in the groin area of his left leg for the past 3 to 4 weeks. He can bend his knee without issue but lifting his leg is very painful, and the pain is noticeable even when walking with a cane. What could be the problem?

I have had a persistent crotch itch for a year, which is worse at night. I have tried Bond's powder and a commercial cream (Benadryl) but neither has helped. I also have type 2 diabetes. What could be causing the itch and what can I do to alleviate it?

I am a 36-year-old male who recently experienced an upset stomach, followed by an explosive bowel movement with some blood. My stomach remained unsettled for a few days but then improved. I am concerned about colon cancer, but I have no family history of it or inflammatory bowel diseases, no weight loss or appetite loss, and no constipation. I had a stool and blood test which came back normal. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about colon cancer?

I'm taking spironolactone and know I'm not supposed to consume too much potassium. I found a creamer I want to try (So Delicious Original coconut) with potassium citrate listed in the ingredients. Do I need to worry about consuming it?
