Are these bug bites or HIV rash? My legs and ankles have a lot of itchy bumps. I got a lot of bug bites during a trip and had unprotected sex with a partner who later expressed concern about possibly having HIV. Since then, more bumps have appeared, mostly on my ankles and legs, but also on my back and shoulders. They feel like bites and are welted.

Hello, about 13 days ago I was at Disney World and got quite ill with vomiting and diarrhea after eating pizza. This persisted for a few days (no vomiting, just diarrhea). I had one more vomiting episode 6 days later after overeating a bit. I haven't had diarrhea since but I do get a very slight queasy feeling now and again sometimes after eating and something after drinking liquids. No vomiting though. In 2015 I had an endoscopy that was clear except for mild chronic inactive gastritis. I had an abdominal/pelvic CT scan in 2017 and 2019 that were both clear in the GI tract and pancreas. Could this be something like stomach cancer or pancreatic cancer? Wouldn't these tests have seen that at this stage? I'm 39, non-smoker, slightly overweight, no family history.

I had a Brazilian blowout done in May, followed by hair coloring a week later. Since then, I've felt more sensitive, with throbbing and pulsating sensations that have since gone away, but now I feel something when I push on my scalp. My hair also feels oilier faster. I'm concerned about nerve damage and whether my hair will grow out normally. What could be causing these sensations, and will the irritation go away?
