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.

  1. 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
  2. Genetic tone of skin cannot be changed. However tan or any other acquired skin pigmentation can be improved by topical creams, sunscreens etc. chemical peels, laser toning and other  procedures can help in stubborn pigmentation

Your breast is infe­cted, with cellulitis, a skin condition. Contact a dermatologist if signs get worse­. These include worse­ning redness, warmth, swelling, pain, and pe­rhaps a fever. Listen close­ly to instructions for treating it. Take antibiotics as directe­d. Keep your breast cle­an. If possible, elevate­ your breast to ease swe­lling.

I have scars on my nose due to specs and on cheeks for acne so, what would be the treatment and how much will it cost

Female | 20

The treatment for scars on the nose and cheeks due to specs and acne will depend on the type of scars you have and the severity of them. Treatments can range from laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermabrasion, microneedling, and even fillers. The cost of these treatments can vary widely depending on the type of treatment chosen and the area being treated. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to get an accurate cost estimate for the treatment you are considering.

Kya prp with micronedlling krwany say four months ka baad scarswapis a jty her kisy kay ya nahi jo chalty jty wo wapis nai aty???

Female | 22

Improvements can be seen in the majority of people after four months, but some may not have complete results. Scars usually get better with this treatment, but they may not disappear completely. Keeping your expectations in check is important, and you should be patient. Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions for the successful treatment.

I am 25 years old female, i facing with very severe butt achne from last 5 years, it has been increasing due to prolonged sitting due to wfh, please suggest some otc medication or solution

Female | 25

It's a common issue when sweat and oils get trapped in our skin pores. Prolonged sitting can make it even worse. The best over-the-counter treatment is to use a mild cleanser with salicylic acid to shrink the pores. To that end, also, take breaks from sitting and keep the area clean and dry. Stay hydrated and wear loose, breathable clothing.
