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.

If red spots appear on your body, it is possible that you are suffering from a skin ailment or an allergic reaction. These spots are sometimes the result of insect bites, infections, or irritation. If they are bursting when pressed, it might be an inflammatory or irritable mark. The skin should be kept clean and dry, and consult a dermatologist before using any cream or lotion.

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.

Hand and feet sweating and cold

Male | 27

Two main causes can lead to sweating and chills on the extremities, among which are feelings of anxiety, stress, or blood circulation. Some of the time, this is just your body's response to temperature changes or emotional states. To address the discomfort, you can use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or warm baths. Also, the capability to wear comfortably breathable clothes can be a solution for discomfort. On the other hand, if these experiences are still or become worse, a visit to a dermatologist for proper treatment.
