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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm 30. I noticed a pale reddish skin at the cap of my penis. There is no inching or pain but it keeps drying and peeling off.
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.

I am 30 year old ,male and I have jock itch and I had laproscopic surgery for hydroneprosis and jock itch not curing ,what to do ?
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.

I got pimples even I try so many products still I didn't get any results even after eating sugar I get more pimples any treatment for acne?
Female | 22
You get pimples when the pores on your skin get blocked by oil and dead cells. An extra breakout might be a result of eating too much sugar. Softly washing your face every day could help relieve acne. Besides, say no to sweet stuff. Finally, use acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as ingredients. All the same, you should know that seeing any changes may take a while. You can also visit a dermatologist for solutions to your acne.

My daughter is facing a lot of hairfall for a long time
Female | 14
The primary indicator is a loss of hair at a rate higher than normal. This can be attributed to factors such as stress, unhealthy eating, or hormonal changes. Urge her to eat a balanced diet, avoid stress, and apply only mild hair products. If the situation remains unchanged, get a consultation from a dermatologist.

I have a sensitive skin and an oily face. The products I use always give me skin problems like skin rashes, dark spots and pigmentation. I have a hot caramel skin. I want to know the best products for my skin
Female | 18
You may have some skin issues that can be tough to deal with. If your skin is sensitive and oily, try using mild products without perfumes. Possibly, dark spots, skin rashes and pigmentation could occur due to irritation caused by harsh components in the product you are using. Go for products labeled as non-comedogenic so that they do not block the pores on your face. Also, look for ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid that will help calm down and moisturize your skin. Always do a patch test before applying any new product to prevent unexpected reactions.

I am 17 year old i have pimple or acne in face and back since 8 month i consulted to my near dermatologist but i dont get any reslut what should i do
Male | 17
Acne can pop up on both your face and back, and it can be irritating. This is when the oil, as well as dead skin cells, block the pores and result in acne. The result is inflamed bumps and whiteheads. You can try a mild cleanser to clear your skin and pimples stay clear by not touching or squeezing them. Drink enough water and eat healthy food to stimulate the regeneration of the skin. If your acne does not diminish, talk to a dermatologist who can suggest other treatment options.

Female | 37
You might have had a cyst on your back. It is a sac filled with fluid or pus formed under the skin. If infected, it can be red, white, or black, and the skin can be painful. By the way, the liquid is freed when pressed and the cyst is emptied. The doctor should examine it to be sure it is cared for and removed.
