I have a rash that has been identified by the doctor as molluscum contagiosum as well as some cherry angiomas. Posted about that before I knew for sure what they were. Also had a sore throat and my lymph nodes there were enlarged a few days ago.
Went to a urgent care center and they gave me augmentin (which has me a little nauseous). Took ibuprofen for the pain in my neck. The next day, I briefly was able to see a physician's assistant and she said I had MC and referred my to a dermatologist for a complete body overlook. Now it is 3 weeks until then.
My scalp is dry and I think I have lost hair in the front, where the hairline naturaly is receding anyway. The MC are on my hands (where first noted a few weeks ago) and also on arms, chest, thigh, face (just noted on my eyelid). None are on my genetils. Is the dry scalp commonly associated with this condition?
As I noted in the last post, I had found websites saying these were early HIV symptoms. However, I am not having night sweats, fevers, or general flu symptoms. (I did, however, get a flu shot a month ago.) Desperate, I got an HIV test yesterday. It was negative. Should I be worried about that or is what I am experiencing much more general? I can deal with MC and let it take its course with some freezing of papules. Right now it is spreading here and there, likely by contact. However, as a rash, it is remarkably sparse.
