What type of rash is this?

Question 1
What type of rash is this?...  My boyfriend has had these red/ rash like spots on him. They're larger, more like blotches on his leg, back of his arms, and his back. They have been there for about 5 days. He says that they do not hurt or itch. They're not raised up or anything; they're just there.

-It is not scaly.
-It is not itchy.
-It is not swollen or welped.
-It is not dry skin.

--It's just red blotches on his skin that won't go away.

Does anyone know what type of rash this is and what the cause could be?

Question 2
Has anyone ever had a mole removed?...  Of course after consulting a doctor. I am not talking about a doing it yourself project.
I have a big mole with a diameter of 0.7mm that is also inconvenient and i heard various stories on removing moles that it's not safe, that you can die if you have it removed and so on. Has anyone removed a mole? How safe is it?

Answers
1)   Yes, I Had A Mole On My Wrist About The Same Size. It's Pretty Safe As Long As The Procedure Is Done My A Doctor. - PurplePlumPrincess

2)   I had one on my back and I got it removed and I didn't feel a thing. First they numbed it and that was only like a pinch and they cut it off. Simple. Just make sure you have a good dermatologist. - Megan

Question 3
Lump behind right ear?...  So I woke up this morning and felt a bit crappy. A few minutes ago, I felt a lump behind my right ear. When I touch it, it hurts, but it doesn't really hurt that much when I'm not touching it. It feels like a part of my bone.. kinda bony. I've been looking this up and I'm thinking it's a lymph node, but I don't know. Everyone says go to the doctor, but I'd rather not. I'm terrified that it might be cancer. Oh, and I haven't been sick for a while, but I do kinda feel sick right now.

Answers
1)   it could be a sebaceous cyst. nothing to worry about but you should really go to the doctor so he/she can have a closer look. it could be a build up of pressure behind your ear too. - tomo

2)   I am pretty sure that it is your lymph node. If it hurts, you should go to the doctor, I know that you said you didn't want to, but it might just be an infection. I have swollen lymph nodes almost all of the time. My doctor told me that lymph nodes can stay swollen for a while after you are sick, up to a month; however, they shouldn't hurt when you touch them, they should be able to be moved a bit when you touch them. If you are overweight, this could also lead to swollen lymph nodes. I would see a doctor because when they hurt, that means that there is something wrong. Good luck! - jopuppy

Question 4
I have a strange body odor.?...  I'm fifteen years old and whenever I shower I smell this musty scent come off of me. I always wash my body thoroughly and don't spend all day getting dirty. I have dreadlocks but their not finished all the way so I have to make sure not to get them wet too much or else they'll come loose. I take showers twice a day-but lately I've been taking them three times a day because I've been sweating a lot more for some reason- and each time I take a shower I smell this strange mix between armpit sweat and the scent my hair got when I had an afro and didn't use shampoo when I took a shower. I'm now using shampoo each time I shower and wash my body twice with Dove Body Wash for men and use Loreal shampoo but I still always smell the weird smell. I can't find where the smell is coming off from and I make sure I was every part of my body so I don't know what the problem is. The only change I've had is my sweating has increased and the smell started a few weeks ago which was around the same time I shaved my armpits. I don't know if the shaving of my pits has anything to do with it but all I know is that the smell is irritating.

Answers
1)   you don't mention using deodorant. If you don't you will smell after a couple of hours.
There's also a good deodorant you can get that stops you sweating but it's about ten quid. You just need to use it for a couple of weeks then go back to a normal one - wanderer

2)   well this may sound weird but maybe your washing your body too much....i think a shower once a day is enough, maybe your washing away the natural oils your skin produces so i would cut down the bathing some....and maybe the dreadlocks arent very clean either - MIzzSweety
