I have a very soft, immobile, popping lump in the mid-lower leg area. The doctor said it's probably a lipoma, but it doesn't seem like a typical lipoma. It's oval-shaped, very soft, and has a white bump under the skin. It's fixed and not easily movable, unlike typical lipomas. It seems to shrink and grow during the days, and when I press on it, I can feel it pop. I also experience chills/tingling around the lump. Could this still be a lipoma, or should I consider other possibilities like cancer or a blood clot?

I have a sore throat on one side, a large white spot on the left side of my throat, swollen glands, a sore neck on the same side, a dry cough producing green mucus, and a blocked nose on that side of my face. I have lost my voice and these symptoms have been ongoing for three days. Do I need antibiotics, and should I see a doctor for a strep throat diagnosis?

After surgery on my pinky finger, I experienced extreme pain for 3 days. The surgeon removed the bandage and strapping due to it being too tight and causing the pain. My 4th finger still has no feeling on the back of it, and it was the pinky finger that was operated on, with both the 4th and pinky fingers strapped together. I am worried that the strapping caused nerve damage. I also have marks from the compression on my skin where I feel numbness. What could be the cause of this numbness and should I be concerned about nerve damage?
