Question 1

I've got this thing going on with my leg where the blood has clotted around this Marathi word like it's all red and clotted under the skin around the infected area. It's kind of worrying me. What do you think might be going on or how serious is this? Should I be doing something about it right away?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you described, including a visible clot and redness around the infected area, suggest a skin abscess or furuncle; in Marathi, "Karat" often refers to a boil or abscess, which typically requires medical attention, such as incision and drainage, antibiotics, or warm compresses to promote healing and prevent further complications.

Question 2

I've had swelling in my lower leg near the ankle for about five years now, and I've also noticed some numbness around the last two toes on my left leg. I'm currently taking Losartan H as a maintenance dose. My blood pressure is normal, and I don't have diabetes. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Long standing edema in the leg needs a proper examination. Oedema in the legs can be majorly due to some heart problem or kidney damage. Since you have both blood pressure and diabetes, it becomes necessary to check the functional ability of both these organs. You can undergo a thorough examination of kidney function and of heart

Question 3

I've got this thing with my right carotid artery  it's way bigger than the left one, like three or four times the size, and the other side's totally normal. When they first found it, one tech thought I needed emergency surgery, but then another doctor said it wasn't a big deal. Im 37, pretty healthy, and there's no family history of vascular issues. The only thing that bothers me is this ache I get when I'm exercising. Just wondering, is there something I should be worried about down the road?
