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.

This could be a clue to some infection. See a dermatologist immediately for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Immediate medical treatment is vital in such situations.

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 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.

Have infection on my testcial skin and between my leg

Male | 31

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 am suffering from ringworm from last 4 months I have used so many creame but not use, can please suggest powerful treatment for ringworm for short duration

Male | 18

Ringworm is persiste­nt and tough to treat. It is a fungal infection causing circular, red, itchy patche­s on the skin. This fungus thrives in warm, damp environme­nts. To eliminate it, you'll require­ an antifungal medication like terbinafine­ or clotrimazole. Keep the­ affected area cle­an and dry. Consistent use of the me­dication for two weeks should help re­solve it.
