Why is my helix ear lump bleeding and swollen?

ear lump from piercing in helix bleeding and swelling and irritation

1 Answer

Answered on 4th June '24

There’s a lump in your ear above where the earrings go. If it’s swollen, red, or bleeds, it might be an infected piercing. Infections happen when bacteria enter through broken skin. To help it heal faster clean it with saline solution, don’t touch it with unclean hands, and use warm compresses several times a day. If this doesn’t work you should see a dermatologist.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.

You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.

Hi I am taking esomeprazole, lipitor, lisinopril, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if it it safe to take anti sweat tablets. Thank you

Female | 59

Sweating is your body's natural way to cool down. Certain medications can increase sweat production as a side effect or be symptoms of underlying medical conditions. Anti-sweat tablets reduce sweat secretion but may interact with your current medications. It's crucial to consult your doctor for a safe solution. They can adjust your medications or suggest alternative treatments to address the root cause of your sweating. Always communicate openly with your doctor about any concerns or changes in your medication regimen to ensure your health is prioritized.

Chikan pox deep small circle on mouth in central Possible to remove this problem

Male | 31

A canker sore­ might trouble your mouth. They are small, round, and painful sore­s. Stress, spicy foods, or biting your cheek can cause­ them. Try over-the-counte­r rinses or gels to ease­ pain and speed healing. Soft foods are­ better; avoid spicy or acidic ones. Give­ it time - around one or two wee­ks - and it should disappear on its own.

Can I take glutathione for skin whitening

Male | 15

Glutathione isn't FDA approved for skin lightening.. Limited research available.. Possible side effects.. Discuss with doctor.. it is IMPORTANT to note that the use of glutathione for skin lightening comes with SERIOUS risks.. While it is MARKETED as a "natural" alternative to traditional skin lightening treatments, there is NO conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness.. The FDA HAS NOT approved glutathione for skin lightening purposes, which means that its safety and effectiveness have NOT been thoroughly tested

From last month I'm suffering with full hair fall the hair is falling from the tip and hair fall is very high

Female | 21

It seems as if you may be suffering from severe hair loss. It may as well have been caused by many factors like stress, hormonal changes or a disease. I would suggest visiting a dermatologist, who could examine your scalp and diagnose the reason for hair loss. They can then develop a customized treatment plan for you

my hair fall day by day increase why any thing wrong?

Male | 30

Hair fall is a common issue but it becomes a point of concern every day with the amount of hair shed as a result of stress, poor diet, or health problems. A balanced diet, stress management, and the treatment of underlying health issues are the best ways to take care of your health. The use of mild hair care products and avoiding high heat can also be beneficial.

I am a boy and I am 22 years old. I have a lot of itching under and around my penis. More this summer. Been using Ringguard for a long time. When I use the ointment it goes away. If left out it itches again. Tell me how to get rid of it

Male | 22

You may have jock itch, a fungal infe­ction. Itching around the penis is a symptom. It grows in warm, moist areas, so summe­r can cause it. Ringguard helps, but it may return. To tre­at it: keep the are­a clean and dry, wear loose clothing, use­ antifungal creams, don't share towels.
