Why do I have a small lump behind my ear?
I am having a small lump behind my ear just noticed right now the size is small
Dermatologist
Answered on 22nd July '24
Discovery of a small lump behind your ear is a cause of some concern but on the other hand, the realization that you have noticed it is great news. Swelling in the lymph nodes might be a cause, which is enough to say that your body is under attack by infections. The increase in size may also be due to cysts, or skin conditions, such as fatty lumps. If there is no improvement or even if you get other symptoms, the best advice is to visit a dermatologist for a check to be on the safe side.

I have very dark pigmentation around mouth and neck and i have darck circles which is black in color around eyes how tp3 get rid of this
Female | 23
You may have hyperpigmentation, a condition. This may lead to dark patches on the lips and neck and dark circles under the eyes. Mostly, it's because of being out in the sun for too long, hormones that change the appearance of your skin, or your genes. The following are good methods for managing this; you can use sunscreen, peel gently, and brighten lotions for your skin. You can visit a dermatologist for consultation and treatment.

I Am having bad acne after shaving my face since 4 months
Female | 19
Razor bumps, an issue you might face. Hair regrows into skin post-shaving - red, inflamed bumps result. It causes acne-like breakouts. Sharp razor use helps. Shave hair's growth direction. Gentle cleanser aids afterwards. If it persists, see dermatologist.

Itching and discomfort back of ears and hand
Male | 31
You may be having some itching and other issues specifically at the back of your ears and hands. This is often caused by dry skin, allergies, or even certain products. Try relaying to your skin whether it is moisturized enough, using mild soaps, and not wearing irritating clothing. If the problem does not go away when the medication is started, a dermatologist can help you find out the best treatment.

My father is having a problem like he is having a allergy on complete body when ever he is using any type of hair color he has consulted to many doctors dermatologists but he is not able to find any solutions and all the doctors has recommended him to excuse hair color for life time and strictly told him not to use any type of hair color but he dont want white hair. He want to use any hair color which is chemical free or he is trying to find any solution or any replacement of hair color which can help him to make his hair look black and dont get allergic. Please give me any type of solution from which he can be able to make his hair look black once again without getting any type of allergy.
Male | 55
It seems your father has a severe allergic reaction to hair color. Dermatologists have advised him to avoid all hair colors to prevent further reactions. He should look for natural alternatives like henna or indigo powder, which are less likely to cause allergies. However, it's important to consult with a dermatologist or an allergist before trying any new product to ensure it's safe for him.

I am a 17 year old girl, recently I noticed some white small point sized or slightly bigger patches on my hips. I don't know what to do, but I'm afraid this might be some big disease.
Female | 17
It might be a common skin condition called pityriasis alba. This isn't something to worry about. Pityriasis alba can lead to pale patches on the skin, mainly on the face, neck, and arms. You can see them better in summer when your skin is darker. Dryness is what makes the skin turn lighter than it’s supposed to be, the reason for this happening is mostly because of dryness. You might also want to consider moisturizing your skin more often with lotion, or drinking plenty of water helps too. If there is no change after doing all these things then go to a dermatologist who will advise on treatment methods for this condition.

Male | 23
Seems like the problem is fungal in the intimate area. This is what's causing the itching and the pimple-like bump. The most important thing is to keep the area clean and dry so the healing can take place. Avoid rubbing or scratching the area as it can make it worse. You can try using an antifungal cream to help clear up the infection. Make sure to wear loose-fitting underwear and don't wear tight clothing as this will result in faster healing of the area.

I have acne spots and darkspots on my face form 2 years can i use azelic acid if I can then how much percent
Female | 18
Dealing with acne spots and dark spots on your face for two years is frustrating. Consider using azelaic acid: safe for most people. A 10% concentration is effective. It reduces acne breakouts and fades discoloration. Use it daily by applying a thin layer after cleansing. Complement with sunscreen and moisturizer.

Hydroquinone for skin lightening
Male | 18
Let me give you the lowdown on hydroquinone: it’s a common ingredient found in skin lightening products. This is because it works by reducing melanin in the skin. So if you have dark spots such as age or sun spots, using hydroquinone could help fade them away. However, don’t forget that you must be cautious not to misuse it since this can cause some undesired effects. As a rule, always follow directions given by the manufacturer when using any cosmetic product and also watch out for any allergic reactions.

Hi. I've a question regarding my niece's skin problem. She is a 7-years old. She has developed red patches of skin on her cheek, chin and around nose. The affected area of her cheek is very dry. I brought her to a doctor who prescribed two creams, mezoderm(betamethasone) and gentamicin-akos which made things far worse. Then at the pharmacy I was advised to use ftorokart(also a cream with triamcinolone) for my niece's face. After a few uses of the cream, I've seen some noticeable improvement in her skin condition since she started to use it. It took the redness out of her nose. But she still has rash and blisters on her face. I took photos of her face in case it might be helpful for you to identify the reason for her skin condition. Here are the photos of hers: https://ibb.co/q9t8bSL https://ibb.co/Q8rqcr1 https://ibb.co/JppswZw https://ibb.co/Hd9LPkZ Would you mind helping us to identify what caused this skin condition?

According to the symptoms and signs described, it appears to be a case of atopic dermatitis which is common among children of the mentioned age. It is a condition where the skin barrier is disturbed and is extremely sensitive to external environmental triggers like cold and dry weather, dust etc. It presents as red dry itchy patches on cheeks, hands and legs sometimes whole body. The above mentioned creams contain topical corticosteroids which are to be used with a great caution under the supervision of Dermatologist. Good barrier repairing creams including emollients with squalene, ceramides etc can help reviving the skin barrier. Steroid sparing drugs can be prescribed to manage the rash. Please consult a qualified Dermatologist and do not use topical corticosteroids without doctor’s advice as it may cause many adverse effects.

I am 19 years old. I have pigmentation around my mouth.what should I do now.can you give me any cream please
Female | 19
Pigmentation is a condition that can be compared to skin getting a different tone in some areas. It may be caused by environmental factors like the sun, changing hormonal levels, or it is sometimes the skin's natural characteristic. A cream infused with ingredients such as niacinamide or kojic acid would help to lighten the pigmentation. Remember to wear sunscreen every day to improve your skin health.

30 years old and I have been smelling very bad I don't know what is the cost of my body to smell bad and I'm always feeling to sleep all the time what is the cost
Male | 30
The potential to encounter differences in body odor and fatigue every day is a matter that people can relate to. Diversity, including diet, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or even some complex disorders, may be causing such symptoms. You should think of your water intake, the way that you clean up, and your diet, which might be the culprits in case of both bad smell and low energy. Furthermore, physical exercise and proper sleep hygiene will be very helpful. You may consult a dermatologist.

Hello, can someone with syphillis with a 1:2 titer still be infectious?
Male | 28
Syphilis, even with low levels, remains contagious. It spreads through intimate contact. The bacteria behind syphilis causes sores, rashes, fever, and body pains. But don't worry, antibiotics like penicillin can cure it. However, remember - symptoms disappearing doesn't mean the infection's gone. Getting proper treatment matters. So, be vigilant. If concerned, see a dermatologist now.

Dr. Alvin's Product No. 4 Peeling Set I use on my face for 36 days. My skin is very oily and sensitive. The peeling product did not give good results after using it on my skin. Currently my skin is white and black. Now what can I do?
Female | 19
The white and black spots you noticed could result from product irritation. This might've caused hyperpigmentation. Stop using the product immediately. Use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser and moisturizer made for sensitive skin instead. Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin. Give your skin time to heal, avoiding harsh products. If the changes persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist.

If your ear becomes red and has a white layer behind the redness, the cause could be bacteria or fungi. This can take place if water becomes trapped in your ear or if you scratch the inside of your ear. You might also have the sensation of pain or itching.

Male | 30
You may have a condition known as balanitis. When the skin on the tip of the penis becomes irritated, this can occur. It can be caused by poor hygiene, fungal infections or allergies. Even if it doesn’t hurt, keep the area clean and dry. Using a mild cream may also help with the peeling skin. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a dermatologist.

You might be suffering from a swollen penis with only the back part of your penis being red. This can be a result of different circumstances such as a bacterial infection, chemical irritants, or a physician's diagnosis. This can be treated by maintaining proper hygiene and dryness of the area. Avoid using any kind of brands of soap or lotions that contain chemicals.

Male | 30
Jock itch is the fungal infection which is the most common cause of the groin itching and redness. Since you've gone through surgery for hydronephrosis, you must keep the area well-hygienic and dry to treat jock itch. Using regular antifungal creams you can purchase without a prescription. Do not go for tight-fitting clothes and change into clean, dry ones often. If the jock itch persists, it's advisable to consult your dermatologist for the next steps.
