I noticed a rash accompanied by itchiness about a week ago. This morning I realized it’s peeling skin on my penis. What could this be and is it related to an STD or herpes?

I've been experiencing severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea since Sunday morning after a night of heavy drinking. I've tested negative for COVID and have had diarrhea since Monday. The nausea has worsened over time, and the thought of food makes me nauseous. I'm on birth control (Junel) and haven't taken anything for the nausea. I'm a 20-year-old female and have been on birth control for 5 years consecutively. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I hit my rib hard last week and felt horrible since, especially after trying heavy lifting the following day. I've been experiencing dizziness and overall feeling 'off'. What should I do to feel better and is in-person doctoring needed?

My dentist did an injury to my lip three years ago during a biopsy for Sjogren's syndrome, which was negative. Since then, I have had persistent inflammation on a part of my lip that I can feel but others cannot notice. I am 70 years old and do not use any medications. I also have Hashimoto's disease. What do you think?

I had an unprotected oral sex encounter with a stranger where we used protection during penetration but not for the entire oral sex. I also kissed an area where I touched the condom after sex and fingered her with my fingers. I had mouth ulcers and got tested for HIV on the 40th day, which came back negative. I still have mouth sores and am suffering from anxiety. How reliable is the test on the 40th day, what are the chances of HIV, and should I get tested again for 100% certainty?
