Should I be concerned about painless underarm lump?
I am 20 year old female . I have a painless underarm lump that has been there for a year now. What should I do

Answered on 4th June '24
If you have a painless lump in your armpit that doesn’t go away for about a year, it should be checked out. It might just be a harmless cyst, a swollen lymph node, or a kind of fat called lipoma. But we also need to make sure nothing more serious is going on. My advice is to see a healthcare provider who can take a look at it.

What causes one side of your face to swell all of a sudden
Female | 33
Parotitis, a swollen saliva gland, strikes suddenly. The gland blocks, causing enlargement, soreness, and reddening. In this state, fluids, heat, and professional assessment provide relief. Hydrating abundantly eases discomfort. Applying warmth soothes inflammation. Visit a dermatologist or a dentist for treatment.

l have itchy legs for last two weeks and it itch constantly.What should i do?
Male | 15
When skin is dry, it tends to be more during winter. It could also result from an allergy to something like soap or lotion. Moreover, conditions such as eczema may affect the skin too. Try to solve this problem by using a lot of moisturizing lotion, changing your soap to the one that does not react, and stopping scratching to avoid infections. If these measures fail, then see a dermatologist.

I fell asleep outside and got a painful sunburn on my leg. I went to softball practice and got hit in the leg with a softball. Am I allowed to ice it because I thought you couldn't ice a sunburn but it hurts to put pressure on it.
Female | 15
Sunburns are very painful, and getting hit by a softball on top of that is even worse. Applying ice won't harm the sunburn and can help reduce pain and swelling. Wrap the ice in a towel to protect your skin. If the pain is severe or doesn't improve, see a dermatologist for proper treatment.

My boyfriend has an infected wound in his calf which started of as a small itchy spot that later became a red spot and later an infected wound that's made his the surrounding area swollen right down to his ankles. The glands in his groin are now painful too. Please advise what type of antibiotic would be suitable for this?
Male | 41
Your boyfriend may have a severe skin infection that’s spreading. The redness, swelling, and pain—coupled with swollen glands in the groin—indicate that it might be a bacterial infection. To cure this, he may require a course of antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporin which can help to fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

I have like red dot on my ball looks like wart now sore
Male | 43
You probably have a red dot that resembles a wart on your private area and is now painful. This might be due to a viral infection known as "genital warts". It is very necessary to not scratch it as this will make the infection spread. Both diagnosis and treatment should be done by a dermatologist. Warts can be removed with medicines or procedures such as freezing or laser therapy.

Mera skin oily aur wrinkles hai kya kon sa medicine use kare please guide
Male | 28
It’s crucial to treat a combination of oily and wrinkled skin with great attention. Your skin turning oily can lead to blocked pores and acne. Wrinkles can be formed from aging and your skin receiving too much sunlight. Cleansing your oily skin can be aided by using a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. For wrinkles, contemplate using products that have both retinol and hyaluronic acid. Protect your skin by putting on sunscreen when the sun is out.

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM RINGWORM ON MY BODY SINCE 6 YEARS WHEN I TAKE MEDICINE IT TOTALLY REMOVE. BUT WHEN I GIVE UP IT WILL RECOMES LIKE BACK TIME .
Male | 21
You've been dealing with ringworm for a long time. Ringworm is a common fungus infection that can appear in different parts of your skin and cause red, itchy, circular rashes. Furthermore, while the drug takes away the discomfort, returning too soon may lead to a relapse. Regularly washing your clothes and bedding will also help limit the infection.

Can I apply Tbact ointment on a wound in my hand
Female | 25
Taking care of a wound properly is important. Tbact ointment should only be used when there is an infection present. Notice signs like redness, warmth, or pus? If not, simply clean the wound using soap and water, bandaging it afterward. However, see a dermatologist if infection signs appear, for proper treatment.

Mere chest me dard ho raha hai or eyes me dard ho raha hai or chicks me dard hai
Male | 18
You're feeling the blood in your chest, your eyes are aching, and tenderness in your cheek area. In some instances, chest pain can be caused by heart problems. The reason behind the eye pain can be either the strain or infection. The cause of cheek pain may be a sinus problem. Ensure that you take breaks, consume water, and do not rub your eyes. If the pain persists, medical assistance should be sought to determine the exact cause and receive the appropriate treatment.

Cut self trimming pubic hair Hi Im 25 and was trying to trim my testicles with scissors and knicked a bit of skin and they were proper scissors. It bled a decent bit at first but I was in the shower so I was able to get a bit of toilet roll and hold it to stop the bleeding. It made me very dizzy to the point where I was struggling to stand I'm not sure if it was just because I was panicking or pain. But It stopped for a bit and I tried to stand and it started bleeding a tiny bit like a drop because I think it was a proper cut. I stood up again but I don't thinks it's bleeding any more and just looks like a knick. But is it something I should get checked out or should it be fine to let it heal. Sorry if this is the wrong thing to do I don't really know who to ask and phoning the doctors at my bit is really bad just now cause there so busy and if I'm just overreacting.
Male | 25
If the bleeding has stopped and the cut is small, it should heal on its own. Keep the area clean and apply an antiseptic. However, because you felt dizzy and it was a proper cut, it's a good idea to see a doctor, specifically a dermatologist or a urologist, to ensure there's no risk of infection or other complications.

My skin is very dull and i am having open pores near to the nose are on cheeks, skin texture is uneven.what can be possible reason for that
Female | 27
Dull, oily skin with large pores on the nose and cheeks is a common issue. This can result from excess oil production, genetics, or inadequate skin care. These factors often lead to rough patches and an uneven skin tone. To improve your skin, try using gentle cleansers, exfoliating regularly, and applying a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Additionally, staying hydrated is crucial. Open pores can get clogged with dirt and excess oil, but regular exfoliation can help keep them clear. Proper moisturizing prevents dryness without causing excess shine. With consistent care, smooth and evenly-toned skin is achievable.

Female | 22
Your skin may have enlarged pores due to genetics, excess oil, or not cleaning properly. To help reduce them, try using a cream with salicylic acid or retinol, as these ingredients can gradually shrink pores. Additionally, wash your face regularly and protect your skin from the sun.

It's crucial to have doctors check moles, even anus moles. Changing the size, shape, color, itchiness, or bleeding warrants medical care. Genetics, sunlight, and hormones may cause anal moles. Consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and proper treatment to ensure health.

I am 21 years old and I had dark spot on my face so I used this cream light up which now peeled up my skin and I don’t know what else I can do now
Male | 21
The dark spot on your face might have been due to excessive melanin, which the cream is reported to be a lightener of. Nevertheless, it appears it was too strong for your skin to bear. At that moment, first of all, it is critical to discontinue the use of the cream. To renew your skin, you can rub a mild cream and shield your skin from the sun. Allow your skin to rest for a while before introducing new products again. Should the peeling go on or other worrying symptoms appear, it will be best for you to get counseling from a dermatologist.

I got a cut and there were swiming and after ten days I reopen my wound then the blood clotting is black so tell me some treatment or instructions
Female | 23
The black color usually suggests either dead tissue or infection. Wound management involves e.g. cleaning it with mild soap and applying an antibiotic ointment. Change the bandage daily and pay attention to the wound for any signs of increased pain, redness, or pus. If these develop, you should see a dermatologist who can perform further evaluation and treatment.

There are small tini black balls in my pubic area rising and spreading to Pinus and all pubic area with no feel of pain or irritation i can share picture what is this and how it be treated..
Male | 25
These could be seborrheic keratosis, folliculitis, or similar benign conditions, which are not usually painful. However, without proper examination, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. Treatment may range from topical solutions to minor procedures, depending on the exact nature. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized advice.
