I am a 34-year-old male who used to occasionally go tanning when I was younger. I’ve noticed these brown flat blotches on my forehead and chest. What could these be and are there any treatments available?

My child got stung by something earlier today and now she has a 103.6 fever. She started complaining after the sting that her stomach hurts and then she started saying random parts of her body hurt and now the fever. I was trying to figure out what is going on with her. Is the pain constant or does it come and go? What type of pain is it? Is it sharp or dull, achey or stabbing? Anything else in your child's medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have OCD tendencies since a young age, and recently, a situation involving a new friend has significantly impacted my mental health. I have intrusive thoughts about a relationship with her, which I find deeply distressing and disgusting, leading to severe anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnection from myself. I also experience intense physical symptoms like headaches. I am currently speaking with a counselor, but I feel the same and this has been going on for 2 months. I am not using any medications and have a family history of mental illness. What should I do?

I am 6 days late on my period. I haven’t had sex this month, but the day I was supposed to start, a guy fingered me and he may have had semen on his finger. I took a Plan B right after just to be safe. This was the day/day before I was supposed to start. Am I pregnant?

I’ve suspected I have a thyroid issue for a couple of years now. I was borderline hypothyroid 2 years ago and weighed 165lbs. Over the last 2 years, my sleep has deteriorated, my anxiety is severe, and I have lost 45 pounds without significant effort. My recent bloodwork showed hyperthyroid levels for TSH and extremely high thyroglobulin levels. My old doctor wanted to refer me to an endocrinologist, but my new doctor says there's nothing to worry about, and my ultrasound was negative. Given my history of celiac disease and susceptibility to autoimmune disorders, I'm concerned about my thyroid health and would like a second opinion.
