Could smoking and trauma cause painful chin lump?
"I am 22 years old and have noticed a small, painful lump on the right side of my chin. I've been smoking for the past two months, and a few days ago, I was in an accident where I landed on my right side. The lump is painful when I press on the bone side of my chin. Could you help me determine whether this might be something serious, like cancer, or if it could be related to the recent trauma from the accident ?

Your doctor might be right when he says you have a painful lump on your chin that is a manifestation of the recent trauma from your accident. The fact that it hurts when you press on the bone side of your chin suggests that the impact you experienced is the cause of it. Given your young age, it's less likely to be a malignant tumor. To be safe, try applying a cold compress to help with the pain and swelling. If the lump doesn't improve or worsens, you should go to a dermatologist for another opinion.

- Resistant acne and severe acne not responding to conventional treatments needs the consultation of a qualified dermatologist. Most of the times resistant acne has underlying hormonal imbalance which has to be diagnosed and addressed. Certain conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, steroid abuse, certain drugs may be cause of severe acne. A dermatogist may advise certain blood investigations, to understand the cause behind acne and may prescribe drugs like Oral contraceptive pills, oral retinoids or antibiotics along with procedural treatment to treat the acne and long term resolution

Female | 8
A crack in the heel, arch, and ball of the feet can be painful. This can happen due to dry skin or standing for a long period. Make sure she wears the best comfortable shoes that she has. Apply a thick moisturizing cream daily to keep her feet soft and hydrated. Water is super important too. This will assist in stopping the cracks from coming back. Iif she still has the issue after some time, then see a dermatologist for more advice.

The scar might come from a small injury or irritation you didn't notice. Since it's not causing discomfort, that's positive. However, monitor the area closely. If it starts bothering you or changes appearance, consulting a dermatologist would be wise.

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.

I have acne form past 5 years and I have broken my pimples so I have scars and spots on my face my skin is oily plz tell me what to do
Female | 20
You've had this infection for a long time, and it's now your ongoing skin issue. One aspect of your condition is that it's almost inevitable to get a scar or spot here and there when you pop a pimple. Along with other factors contributing to this issue, oily skin can promote acne formation and expansion. Acne is a major skin concern caused by clogged hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. If you're dedicated to improving your skin, using a gentle cleanser, avoiding picking at pimples, and choosing products with suitable ingredients can make a real difference, even if it's gradual. You should visit a dermatologist for proper treatment.

I have skin tags on my perineum
Female | 27
Skin tags near the perineum are generally innocuous. They resemble small protrusions of skin. Friction and rubbing of the skin causes their formation. At times, itchiness or bleeding may occur if irritated. If they cause discomfort, a doctor can readily remove them safely. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the area can prevent further development.
