1)   Wow, you might have AIDS or other infections. There are places that test for HIV/AIDS for free. If I were you, I would go to a free clinic or something. Maybe apply at Department of Health and Human Services for Medicaid. Some hospitals have an office you can go to and apply for sliding fee scales based on your income. All you have to do is fill out the application and provide some information. If I were you I would do some investigating first by checking out your local or state service sites or government offices related to medical care. - Jeff R

2)   I have the same problem. Except I have like 3 big ones and 5 smaller ones around my neck. Whenever you get sick they become visible and hurt because they are part of your immune system and fight off the disease you got. They are normal to be there and some people have lymph nodes that show and others don't. Relax, and happy holidays! :)

NOTE: They don't have anything related to HIV/AIDS. I asked my doctor and he said that they are normal. - ♊ Gemini ♊

3)   Go to the emergency room and give a fake name. Lymph nodes typically become inflamed during an infection, the nodes remaining inflamed after infection has passed is not a good sign. Though I think it might be likely that you have just become better at "noticing" your nodes. But if you are certain that your nodes are swollen and have remained swollen for some months you likely need to get your hands on some Amoxicillian or another anti-biotic, the safest way to do this is by going to a doctor or urgent care center.

Basically, go to a damn doctor. - Katie

4)   Sometimes they don't go away and you are fine. I have one behind my ear that has been there since I got a bad infection when I was a kid (I'm 20 now). It only hurts when I have an infection or am sick, but it never fully goes away. Lymph nodes swell and hurt when you get sick or have an infection so if it only hurts when you have an infection you are probably okay.
But if it keeps growing or hurting for no reason you can go to a free clinic. They have long waits but are free to those without insurance. Just google search free clinics in your area.
You could also webmd infections and lymph nodes just to get an idea if what is going on is normal. - Emila

5)   you need an antibiotic penicillin is penicillin no matter what it is for

I work in a feed store for live stock animals and since so many people are having money issues we have been selling out of this stuff - Prince of Shananana

6)   Hi it would be best to have this checked out. Sometimes lymph nodes will never go down after being enlarged. Lymph nodes enlarge when we have infections, viruses etc. But beings you have been sick and they have enlarged and are hurting you it is best to be seen by a doctor. Good Luck. - kwgirlroper09

Answers
1)   yes - Daniel

2)   you know it very well may be. our bodies our covered with skin and wherever there is skin we can get acne, so your best course of action is to either see your own doctor or go to a dermatologist, who specializes in problems of the skin. - Jules

3)   All you want to know about acne

4)   Thats a case of acne from hell.

Your parents should have taken you to a dermatologist when you were a kid.

You can still go and get treatment but the scars are forever. - Two Smoking Guns

5)   I'm certainly not a professional but i have had similar issues and questions for doctors since i have kp myself...things i'm guessing it could be:

-allergic reaction to an ingredient in shampoo/conditioner (try just rinsing, not washing your hair awhile as bad as it sounds, but since you don't have hair that shouldn't really be an issue for you should it?)

-acne (i would resolute to this being it if not any other on the list)

-over dried scalp (if they're itchy and you can take off larger than dander bits of skin, this is most likely. if just rinsing your scalp for a week or two allows them to still appear, try a mosturizor)

-skin condition - Runescape Ruffian

6)   they might not be anything specific but check with the doctor - Tseyon

Question 4
could this cause hiv?...  if you used something for a dildo that you didnt wash...
like.... a fat marker or something.... or a brush... that was in your bathroom
just wonderin cause my cousin and me were talking about it

Answers
1)   yea, you have a 92% chance. - Gahrili Krov

2)   Yeah it could lol , good luck - Karl

3)   the hiv virus dies very quickly. Extremely unlikely you would catch HIV unless you pulled it out of an HIV-infected rear and immediately inserted in into another. - Just Wondering

4)   I had a load of unwanted fat in all the embarrassing places until I used colon cleanse, I realize they say that pills do not work, however they certainly worked for me, and they have been shown on CNN too. There's a free trial on currently at http://gatolp.slimmingdietstore.info , try it, why not? - Jaylon

5)   HIV has a short life outside of the body. If the object contained infected wet blood or wet vaginal/seminal fluid then there is a very SMALL chance of the virus being active and possibly passed. The chances are that you have nothing to worry about. In the future it would be best to wash any objects before you insert them or (best option) to purchase something for your own personal use. - Deltagirl
