Can you confirm if the growth is nodular melanoma?
Hello doctor,
Before three months, my husband noticed a pink spot on my hip. I thought it was just a bug bite and I put some cortisone cream on it. It has been three months, and for a while, I forgot about it. Now, I do not think that it has grown much. It would be hard to say as I kept trying to rip it off. When I spent some time on the internet, I convinced myself that I have nodular melanoma. I have attached the photos. Please confirm it.

How to heal a damaged skin following the use of cortisone cream?
Hello doctor,
I am 26 years old. I am trying to find a way to heal my skin after abuse of cortisone creams. Quite specifically, in between my eyebrows, my skin is seriously thin and looks damaged. I stopped using the cortisone creams before four years, and I was given them to use due to allergic reaction hives. I am skeptical of using acids and any chemicals. I have hyperpigmentation on my forehead and do not want to worsen it. I have been reading vitamin C and vitamin E creams, but do not know which is the best. Thank you.

Can simultaneous fever and chills indicate HIV infection?
Hello doctor,
For the last two days, I have a headache, fever, chills, sweating, and body ache. On contacting my doctor, he advised me to go for a dengue test in which NS1Ag came positive, and the doctor has advised for an ELISA test which is yet to be done. Now, I am worried as the HIV symptoms are same as that of dengue. Am I infected with HIV? Also, I traveled back to my country 10 days back to see my wife. She started having the same symptoms as me at exactly the same time. I have been sexually active outside my marriage for the last couple of year. I had unprotected oral sex, as well as protected penetrative sex with sex workers a couple of times. The last time my wife and I had sex was nine months ago, after which she conceived and gave birth to our baby last month. Her last HIV test was done seven months ago, as part of the pregnancy check up. As I can see from the reports available it was negative. But, since she is having similar symptoms, I am extremely worried for the three of us. Please let me know if all is well.
