Yesterday, I had a thorn stuck in my knuckle joint. The hand has become sore, swollen, and stiff in that location. Should I go to the emergency room or what treatment do I need for this?

I tested positive for Covid-19. Can you provide medication? I am located in Sugar Land, Texas, where COVID-19 is widespread. I am currently using Janumet, Farxiga, Pantoprazole, and Alendronate, and I am 77 years old. I have allergies to Clindamycin, Arithromycin, and Iodine. Do you have any recommendations for managing my condition?

I have a red dot on my pinky that I noticed around October 23, 2023. I don't remember injuring it, and it hasn't changed much since I first noticed it. I'm concerned that it might be something serious like early skin cancer or leukemia. I had a CBC blood test in January of this year that was normal. What could this red dot be, and should I be worried about it?

I was bitten by an unseen insect on June 15. Today, June 20, I still have swelling, redness, and hardness on my bottom calves near my ankles. The sites are hot to the touch. I'm 68 years old and currently taking Humira, Synthroid, female hormones, and ibuprofen as needed for arthritis. Should I be concerned about the insect bite, and what should I do to treat it?
