What Could Be Causing a Painful, Discharging Lump Under My Armpit?
A couple days ago i noticed a large lump underneath one of my armpits. a few weeks prior my armpit had been feeling very sore and painful but i just recently looked and saw a large lump and there was some sort of discharge leaking from it.. a few days later it’s gotten somewhat smaller but now there is a nasty raw scab growing around it and it hurts and itches. also the center of the lump is red and sticking outward and looks like it’s bleeding.

I am 33 years old .I am suffering from PCOD & now I am facing hair fall problem in badly .can you help me to grow new hair
Female | 33
PCOD can trigger the hormonal imbalance which in turn causes hair loss. Some signs are irregular menstruation and acne. To promote new hair growth, you can try consuming a balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, controlling stress, and keeping a normal weight. You may talk to your doctor about possible therapies for hair growth as well.

Stretch marks problm I will remove my stretch marks on few month I can request for you you can suggest a oil to my stretch Mark's to apply
Female | 20
Stretch marks appear when the skin stretches too quickly, like during a growth spurt or pregnancy. They often start as red or purple lines and gradually fade to a lighter color. To reduce their appearance, you can try using oils like almond or coconut oil. Regularly massaging these oils into the affected areas can help keep the skin hydrated and may reduce the visibility of stretch marks over time. Be patient, as noticeable results may take a while to appear.

I’m having underarm problems, they’re dark and I want laser treatment for it.
Female | 21
Laser treatment for dark underarms typically involves the use of laser technology to target and break down excess pigmentation in the skin. The process is known as laser skin lightening or laser skin rejuvenation. During the procedure, the laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the skin, helping to reduce pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. It's crucial to consult with a dermatologist or a qualified skincare professional to assess your specific needs, skin type, and eligibility for the treatment.

Something under armpit not fully swelling aur lump but feel hollow swelling
Female | 32
A mild bump at one of the armpits can also result from the failure of a lymph node to swell. It may also be due to either of the following: a cyst or an abscess. You should visit a qualified medical specialist, like a general practitioner or a dermatologist, to find the underlying reasons and make the right treatment.

Female | 18
You have something called ‘Herpes’ which is a condition caused by a viral infection in different sizes around the body parts, mainly the mouth, and genitals where one gets blisters filled with pus. These sores can hurt but they will disappear over time. Don’t burst them open and keep the place dry and clean. Visit a dermatologist for further treatment.

Sir I am suffering from ring worm from 1 month
Male | 20
Ringworm is a common skin problem. It appears as red, circular spots. The spots come from a fungus living on your skin's surface. If you had ringworm for one month, treating it is crucial. Use antifungal cream as directed. Also, keep the infected area dry and clean. Doing this helps ringworm heal quickly. Don't forget to wash your hands after touching the affected skin. If it doesn't heal, visit a dermatologist.

I am a 18 year old male, 56kg and a filipino. Three days ago, I ate a spicy food and a day after that I felt a burning sensation when doing my business in the toilet. A day after that I felt a bump near my anus and I'm thinking if its a boil or a pimple. I know that having a boil is pretty hard so I'm scared of what it is and i dont know what to do to stop it from getting worse
Male | 18
You may have something referred to as a perianal abscess. When bacteria infect a tiny gland around the anus, this can cause a painful lump. Soaking in warm water may help relieve discomfort. Don’t squeeze or pop it—try to keep the area clean instead. If it becomes worse or doesn’t get better, you should go see your doctor for more help.

Hello I consume ketanzole lotion by mistake 1 teaspoon what should I do
Male | 47
If this did happen, don’t panic too much, as it can occur. Ketoconazole contains an ingredient that can be harmful when ingested. Symptoms such as stomach ache, nausea, or vomiting are likely to occur. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up about it. Instead, drink plenty of water to help reduce the concentration of the drug in your system.

I am 17 years old My new is kapil I have pimple on my chest and back what should I do I very pain full and itching
Male | 17
The pimples on your skin grow when the oil glands get blocked. Your first step in resolving this issue is keeping good personal hygiene by showering daily and using the right soap to suit your skin. One thing to avoid is the temptation to pick or scratch the pimples since it will cause them to persist rather than heal. On the other hand, wearing roomy clothing will let your skin breathe, hence you will not have the problem. For the people out there who need them the most, they likely don't even feel comfortable asking you for that so the effect would be squandered. If these steps don't work, visit a dermatologist.

i have a lump behind my ear that hasn't gone away. it appears to be a swollen lymph node and it's not that big but it's been here for a while and won't seem to go down or go away. i checked on it today and it looks bigger than before so i'm worried.
Male | 13
Consequently, the tonsils may swell; this usually happens because of viruses and bacteria nabbing around in lymph nodes. However, sometimes it is a sign of a more serious or chronic condition; therefore, continuous changes of lumps need to be evaluated by a doctor. You should consult a dermatologist for more proper treatment advice.

The itching of these spots can be brought about by many things, like dry skin, skin diseases like eczema or a fungal infection. To soothe the itching, use moisturizers, take lukewarm baths, and put on loose, breathable clothes. If the itching is still there or getting worse, you may want to go to a dermatologist for more testing.

This infection occurs when the skin is invaded by bacteria or fungus. Itching, redness, and pain are some symptoms that may be experienced. Keeping the area clean and dry could be helpful. You might require an anti-fungal or antibiotic cream from the pharmacy store. Put on loose clothes to allow your skin to breathe and facilitate healing.

I am 30 years old. I am a PCOD patient and have lots of facial hair as well as on chin and neck. I want to do laser hair removal. Please tell me the cost of full face hair removal and is it effective?
Female | 30
Laser hair removal is a very effective way to reduce unwanted facial hair. It works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle, which is why it is most effective on those with dark, coarse hair. It may require multiple treatments to achieve desired results, and many people find that laser hair removal is a permanent solution to their unwanted facial hair.
The cost of full face laser hair removal varies depending on the provider, location, and size of the area being treated.

Very Itching scalpe, dandruff problem, hair fall issue
Female | 25
The combination of these symptoms might direct that you have a commonly occurring skin problem called seborrheic dermatitis. Health deterioration may result in the appearance of red, irritated skin, flaking of the skin, and hair loss. The chief drivers of these are oily skin, a yeast type that is a natural inhabitant of the skin, and hormones. Moreover, you can use dandruff shampoo that contains ketoconazole or coal tar. When you are bathing, don't go hard on your hair and make sure you don't sunlight your scalp because it can result in difficult and painful inflammation.

I have bumps on my pubic area.. some are big and some are small. Sometimes there are open cuts around the bikini area that just pop up out of nowhere and bleed.. i just want to know what this is and is it curable
Female | 21
You might have something called folliculitis, which is a pretty common condition. This is when the hair follicles get infected and it causes bumps with sometimes open cuts. Wearing tight clothes or shaving can both cause this by a rubbing or friction though. Treatment involves keeping the area clean, not wearing tight-fitting clothing and applying warm compresses. If these things don’t work then definitely see a dermatologist.

Full body red pimple and very Itching
Male | 19
Itchy red spots on your skin might be hives! They are caused by the release of histamine, often due to allergies or stress. An antihistamine can help provide relief. However, if the hives persist for more than a few days or worsen, see a dermatologist. Your body might need more than medication.

This is often caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or sweat gland which gets infected. To heal it, you may need to consult a dermatologist. After removing it, they may also use an antibiotic cream or pills to get away from the infection. Please clean the area carefully and do not press or attempt to rupture the abscess yourself.
