It’s completely understandable to have concerns about lumps and the differences between conditions like lipomas and cancerous tumors. Lipomas are typically soft, painless fatty growths that move easily under the skin. In contrast, malignant tumors often present with changes in size, shape, or tenderness. For clarity, I recommend gathering the reports and seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist. They can review your specific situation and offer the best guidance.

I had a measles infection and now my face is full of black scars.
Male | 23
Measles can leave nasty scars. The itchy spots scratched frequently result in those black marks. Shield your face from sunlight. Use gentle skincare items too. A dermatologist could prescribe treatments for fading those scars. With time and proper care, their appearance will improve significantly.

It's been a week since i started experiencing itching around my genital area. Gradually, I also started experiencing pain in the penis and there are visible marks that have started appearing. Also, i feel the urge to urinate more frequently than usual.
Male | 23
It sounds like you might be suffering from a urinary tract infection, which is an unlikely condition where bacteria have been introduced to your pee area causing trouble. It may make you feel itchy, and painful during your urination, and even give you a constant urge to urinate more frequently. Consult a dermatologist for proper treatment

I have to use cleanser water and which one is better for me I don’t know I’m sensitive skin
Female | 17
It is best to consult a dermatologist who can recommend a suitable cleanser for your skin type. A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser that is designed for sensitive skin, such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, could be a good option. However, it is always best to seek professional advice to ensure the best care for your skin. They may ask other health conditions like regarding your gut health, other issues etc and accordingly prescribe.

I have ance on my face and I want to get get of it it gives me insecurities too much
Female | 18
Acne is an issue many people deal with. Clogged pores allow oil and dead skin build-up. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples form. Use gentle face wash. Don't pop pimples. Over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide products help. If very severe acne persists, see a dermatologist. They can prescribe stronger medication.

I have itching in my hand and leg please prescribe some medicine for the same
Male | 62
Itching can be caused by various factors, including allergies, irritations, or skin conditions. It’s important to identify the root cause for effective treatment. Over-the-counter antihistamines may provide temporary relief, but they are not a substitute for professional evaluation. To soothe the affected areas, try applying a cool compress or a fragrance-free moisturizer to reduce irritation. However, if the discomfort persists or worsens, please consider scheduling a visit with a dermatologist. They can offer a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Female | 16
You might have a skin condition called hives. The honeycomb-like patterns could be from the red spots, which may be itchy or slightly raised. Common causes include allergic reactions, stress, or infections. To help with the itching and redness, try taking a cool shower, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding things that trigger the hives. If the hives don’t go away or worsen, it’s a good idea to see a dermatologist.

Circles are small, hard bumps that occur under the skin. It is formed when the oil and skin cells become trapped and make a small pocket. Sometimes, a cyst can develop on your face, and it might feel as hard as a stone. You should consult a dermatologist to examine it and cure it.

My Grandmother is Bedridden for past 4 years. For past 1 month she is having Bedsores in between the shoulder blades which measures around 5×5 cm. Initially we did dressing and it healed leaving a black scar. But for past 2 days we noticed pus discharge from one edge of the scar with foul smell. Inside the scar it is fluctuant. My questions are :- 1. Do we have to remove the entire scar and do the dressing or through the opening in the edge of the scar irrigating and giving antibiotic wash along with betadine gauze packing in the abscess cavity is enough? 2. To prevent further bed sores which bed is good? Water bed or Air Bed?
Female | 92
As for the wound, it is crucial to clean it well and cover it with antibiotic gauze. This is the way it can be healed. Concerning the prevention of further sores, both water beds and air beds are useful by alleviating the pressure on her skin. Be sure to move her body every so often so that she doesn't get too much pressure in one spot. This will also help to prevent more bedsores.

A little cat scratch me 5months ago and I complete the vaccination procedure by 0,3,7,21days shedule and after 5months I got scratch by a cat again but the scratch was invisible I feel the scratch just so what should I do ,may I need any vaccine again
Female | 19
It's great that you finished your vaccination following the first cat scratch. Having a new scratch 5 months later, you do not need to get the vaccine again. As long as you have finished the full course in the past and it is less than a year since then, you are safe. Be on the lookout in case of any flaming, puffing, or fever. If you see these signs, consult your doctor.

Male | Guru Lal Sharma
You have ringworm on your private area and thigh. The infection manifests with red, itchy patches on the skin. The causative agent is a fungus that can be easily disseminated. Applying creams like Clobeta GM or fourderm may not be adequate. You need to see the dermatologist if you want to receive the proper treatment which includes antifungal creams or pills.

i’m 16 years old and recently a lot of small red veins appeared on my breasts that feel bruise like. what could this be?
Female | 16
There are red lines resembling bruises on your breasts. These could be small, burst blood vessels known as spider veins. These may appear in teens due to growth, hormones, or skin changes. They stand out more if your skin is light. Wear well-fitted bras and avoid excessive pressure to reduce their appearance. If they worry you, discuss them with a dermatologist.

last month maine titness injection liya. ab fir se cut lag gaya ..kya mujhe fir titness injection lena chahie ..
Male | 36
Cuts can happen due to accidental injury or poor skills in injection administration. Just cleanse it with soap and water and then put an antiseptic cream on the minor cuts (non-deep cuts and the skin's surface). If it's deep or you notice infection symptoms such as redness, swelling, or pus, the best thing is to visit a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

If the fat lump is on the back of your hand that could be a lipoma. Those are the benign growths of fat cells that seldom have any adverse effects. But, it is always better to go to a doctor for examination and diagnosis. In this situation a dermatologist would be the right specialist to consult.
