I have an unusual mole on my chest that has grown in size over the last year. It itches occasionally and is the same color as the rest of my skin. I am 57 years old and taking Colchicine, Allopurinol, Atorvastatin, along with vitamins and supplements. I have a history of gout, arthritis, and sometimes high blood pressure.

I have hyperacusis and tinnitus, which cause pain and fatigue, making it difficult for me to work as a musician. I've seen an ENT and audiologist, done various tests and CT scans, all of which are clear. The ENT recommended seeing a specialist physician for blood work and tests to check for systematic issues. What other specialist physician do you recommend I see? Internist? Neurologist?

I started bleeding last Sunday, which was just spotting with a brownish color. After having intercourse, there was actual blood, but not too much. I haven't received my period yet, and I suffer from PCOS. I'm 23 years old, not using any contraceptives, and my last period was in August 2021. My cycles are extremely irregular. What could be the cause of this bleeding, and should I be concerned about pregnancy?

I had a new sex partner who is newly infected with HSV-2. She had given me oral sex and was wondering about the likelihood of me being infected. Here are the details: She has a current outbreak on her genital area. I was in no way in contact with her sores. Not by touching, or intercourse or any other means and she was clothed. She did not touch herself either before touching me. She is also on Valtrex. She has no sores or signs of infection on the mouth area. What is the likelihood of me still being infected?

I feel very stressed most days. Can you recommend an effective over-the-counter (OTC) remedy to help combat stress, preferably something that doesn't negatively impact birth control?
