Is this normal skin fold or does it look abnormal? I'm not sure if I always had this. Additionally, I have visible molluscum that is now scarring on my pubic area. Since cutterage, I've had no new molluscum in my pubic area, but two on my face and two on my arm. Cutterage was done two weeks ago. I'm a healthy 26-year-old male but I do smoke and work out five days a week. Based on this, do you think this will stay around much longer? The molluscum are always pretty small and look exactly like pimples. Can't even tell the difference. If this stuff didn't spread, I wouldn't worry. Does the size mean I have a good immune system? Also, for the two on my face, one was above my left eye and one was next to my eyebrow on my right eye. I'm able to shave my beard and the hairline next to my eye? The derm cut both these out last week, and they are now scarring. There's a small growth under my eye lid that has been there for weeks. Is this molluscum? There's also a white pimple thing under my eye that came up after severe sweating in my eyes playing basketball, a couple of weeks to a month ago. Is that molluscum?

I am a 67-year-old white male. Yesterday, I lost about 4 or 5 hours of memory. I take Paxil, Lisinopril, and Norvasc daily. My pulse and BP were within normal range after the incident. I feel fine with no headaches or nausea. Do you have any recommendations?

I'm a 60-year-old female who had a thyroidectomy in 1996. I've been experiencing weak legs, sluggishness, and shortness of breath. My TSH is 0.03 and T4 is 1.5. I recently had a pacemaker installed for heart block, and while it seems to be working, I'm still feeling lethargic with a heart rate of 74. Could my thyroid levels need adjusting, or is there another issue?

I have a swollen lymph node in my groin area that is about a centimeter in size and has been present for several weeks without shrinking. It has always been reactive, swelling up once or twice a year due to shaving or wearing tight underwear while working out, but usually goes back down. This time, it hasn't reduced in size after almost three weeks. I feel fine otherwise, and my recent physical with blood work was normal. Should I be concerned?

I am a heterosexual female who had unprotected sex on 4/16/17. I had an annual check-up on 5/4/17 where the HIV test was negative. Recently, I've been experiencing headaches, loose stools, and a sore throat. I'm planning to take an oral HIV test tomorrow (6 weeks post-exposure). Given these symptoms, would I have developed HIV antibodies by now?
