Could These Whiteish Bumps on My Foreskin Be Penile Cancer?
Hi I am a 16 year old male. I have had these 2 bumps on my foreskin I’m just wondering if it is penile cancer. They are whiteish. It doesn’t cause pain or bleeding or anything until a few days ago when I tried to one of them.

Those bumps on your foreskin might be Fordyce spots, not cancer. Fordyce spots are small, whitish-yellow bumps that sometimes show up on genitals. They're harmless, common, and usually painless. You shouldn't pick or pop them. If you're worried, talk to a dermatologist to get checked out. But chances are, it's nothing serious.

I have spot on penis last 2 days it's a abit sore had white head
Male | 35
Getting pimples on your penis happens, like the face. This one is irritated and painful. Sometimes sweat or rubbing causes them there. Don't touch it or try squeezing. Cleanliness and dryness help. However, if it worsens or persists, see a dermatologist soon.

I am 21 year old boy suffering from small white bumps in my penis foreskin and it was very difficult to open it.so I want to cure it.
Male | 21
This situation seems consistent with the symptoms of smegma. Smegma, with oil and dead skin cells, builds up in the creases of the skin, such as the foreskin of the penis. This leads to dermal white dots that are hard to move back and forth under the skin. Cleaning the area daily with chat water to take care of the white bumps. You should avoid rough soap or excessive force when scrubbing the area. If you still can't find a solution, you should go to a dermatologist.

Good day my child has this things kinda like ringworms on his back and now it's even showing on his face what could that be??
Male | 3
If you follow the given description, your child might be having a fungal infection, which is called tinea corporis, commonly known as ringworm. The disease is manifested in some areas as red ring-like rashes that can occur on the back and face. To ensure that you get an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment, I suggest you seek help from a dermatologist or a physician who specializes in skin disorders.

I have a big mole on my neck that’s been there since birth. It makes me self conscious, and feels weird when I move it. How can I get it removed safely without going to a doctor, or what doctor can I go to for the least cost?
Female | 24
Take care when removing moles without the aid of a physician. If there is a large mole that changes shape or color, it may be necessary to have it examined by a dermatologist. These are doctors who specialize in skin and can provide a thorough evaluation. The best way to ensure that the mole is removed safely and inexpensively would be visiting a dermatologist.

The itch can be so unpleasant when it lasts a long time. The causes could be dry skin, allergies, rashes, or stress. Visit a dermatologist when creams and pills don't solve the problem. The doctor can diagnose the itching, and then determine a suitable course of action for you.

Hi I got a hot water burn in my penis last night and part of the skin is like peeling and red what should I do?
Male | 18
You have a burn on your penis from hot water, and now the skin is peeling and red. Burns can be painful so it’s important to take care of them. Gently clean the area with cool water and a mild soap. You could also use aloe vera gel or some kind of soothing cream to help it heal. Don’t wear tight clothes that will irritate it more either. If it still hurts or stays red after all this, talk to a dermatologist.

My son 10 year old boy had very small black spot in his nose tip before one month for 2 weeks... but now it looks like pimple.. can we apply any ointment for this..
Male | 10
Your son has a pimple on the tip of his nose. These can be in children because of oily and dirty particles trapped in the pores. It is important to avoid pressing on it because that can cause an infection. You can clean the affected area gently with soap and water that is mild and warm for the skin. You may want to apply an anti-acne cream with benzoyl peroxide if it is not too harsh, but first of all, start with small portions of it to be sure the skin can tolerate it. If it doesn't heal, visit a dermatologist.

I am 21 years old female student unmarried I have pimples on my labia majora for two weeks
Female | 21
It seems to be a specific example of the ailment you are facing, which might be due to irritation, hormonal changes, or mild infections. Pimples in the pubic area can be borne also because of hygiene measures or clothes rubbing. Keeping the area clean and avoiding harsh soaps is important. Wearing clothing that can breathe and trying to limit the number of irritants you have are also possible alternatives. If you see the bumps and they don't go away, get more painful or you find an unusual discharge, it's better to contact a dermatologist.

I have warts in my genital area what medicine should I use to fully get rid of them
Male | 21
Warts in the genital area are caused by a virus known as HPV. They might appear as little bumps and thus can cause slow to no irritation at all or discomfort. However, you can treat them with over-the-counter treatments like salicylic acid or consult a dermatologist for stronger medications to fully get rid of them. It is necessary to adhere to the directions on the medicine to the letter and not to pick or scratch the warts.

i’m not sure if i have a cold sore or if it’s something else. what do i do??
Female | 17
Usually, cold sores appear as red, swollen bumps on or around your lips. They can hurt a little and may have clear fluid inside them. The virus responsible for cold sores is known as herpes simplex. You could try using over-the-counter creams or ointments to make them heal quicker. Always wash your hands and avoid touching the sore so it doesn't spread.

I am 31 years old I'm auto driver I got boils on my buttocks it's itching and paining a lot unable to sit or wear pants
Male | 31
Boils are painful and red yet soft lumps of pus and can be filled with purulent fluid. They can be caused by bacteria that enter the skin through small cuts or hair follicles. To help with this, try applying warm compresses to the affected area. Also, wear loose-fitting clothes and keep the area clean. If your boils aren't getting better or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further treatment.

I'm 22 years old male. I have some fungal infections in my hip and my leg in almost 18+ months. I have some skin care creams but not cure
Male | 22
A persistent fungal infection is quite often the cause of discomfort, it may be accompanied by itching, redness and flaking of the skin. Among the very common causes are exposure to moisture, hot conditions, and touching surfaces that are infected with fungus. Sometimes, it is not enough to merely find an over-the-counter cream that gives you temporary relief; it can well be improved, but sometimes a total solution is still impossible. My choice is the use of complex treatments that may be also over the counter, for example, antifungal drugs given on doctor’s recommendation along with making sure cleanliness and the affected areas are kept dry. A visit to the doctor often is the time for specific ways of dealing with the situation and also for quicker management of the condition. You are not alone in it. If you are still hesitating, remember that professional help can actually solve your problems very brilliantly.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow
Female | 17
When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry
Male | 26
Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

You might have what is called seborrheic keratosis. These are common noncancerous growths of the skin. They can be brown and look like they're stuck on the skin. They may be itchy but are usually not painful. You can have just one or a whole group. Their cause is unknown. They are seen more often as people age. If it’s been bothering you, see a dermatologist. They can remove them for you.

Ease the discomfort and heal the sores by staying clean, and dry. Also, try wearing loose-fitting clothes. Use over-the-counter creams pharmacists suggest. But if it worsens or won't go away, see a dermatologist. They'll properly diagnose and treat you.

I am 16 years old and a female, I have noticed that there has been a white spot/bump on my tongue for the past four or five days. At first the bump hurt and I would bite it or play with it with my teeth and it would not stop hurting. Then On sunday night I drank a hot tea and it burnt my tongue. Now it feels like my tongue feels better but that spot feels like it is still irritated or burnt. The spot has not gotten bigger it has been the same size and my lymph nodes are not swollen. I haven’t experienced any fever/ flu like symptoms or unusual discharge.
Female | 16
You might have a canker sore, a harmless and common mouth ulcer. Canker sores can be painful and can come after biting your tongue or eating hot foods. They generally disappear in a week or two by themselves. You can use over-the-counter numbing gels or try rinsing your mouth with salt water to ease the discomfort. Stay away from spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the sore. If it doesn't get any better and if you have more issues, visit a dermatologist.
