I have a mole that I would like checked. It has been present since I was young, and to my knowledge, it has not changed in size. However, I am concerned because it is not perfectly round or oval and has some points. My family doctor referred me to a dermatologist, but I have to wait until January. Is this mole likely to be benign, and can it be truly assessed via a picture?

I have been experiencing tightness on the left side of my chest for almost three months. I have had an EKG, blood work, CT scan, MRI, echocardiogram, and nuclear stress test, all of which came back normal. I am dealing with anxiety and taking medication for it. I have trouble sleeping due to worrying about my heart and have noticed some skipped heartbeats. Doctors have assured me that my heart is okay. Do I have anything to worry about?

How concerned should I be about my tibial tuberosity separating from my tibia? I have been injured for at least two months and I am a 318-pound person who loves to hike. How long should I give this to heal before seeking orthopedic help, and could this heal without surgery?

For the past 3 days, my skin has been itching very badly, from the top of my head down to my feet. This has not happened before and it became instant ever since the 17th. The itchiness comes and goes, and it doesn't get worse at certain times of day. My skin does not look any different and I do not see any visible damage. I have tried moisturizing my skin, but it has almost no effect. I am 18 years old, male, and recently consumed medication for nausea. I have no chronic conditions or other symptoms such as cough, sore throat, changes in bowel, fatigue, nausea, abdominal cramps, yellowing of the eyes or skin. I do not have any rash or skin changes that I am aware of. I have not had any trips recently or contact with people with similar symptoms. The medication I took for nausea was Difenidol, Magaldrato/Dimeticona, and Lactobacilos. I took them from the 9th to the 17th, and my symptoms started to disappear by the 15th. I have been eating non-expired canned food and sealed containers of almonds since the 11th, which have not given me a negative reaction in the past. The 16th, a mouse touched a couple of my clothes that I later wore, but there were no bites or pee.
