Is my large red bump with black point cancerous?
I got a bump on my finger, it's pretty large, redish in colour, round and it has a small black point in the middle, it doesn't hurt or itch but it looks concerning. I don't know exactly when it got there but it's been less than 2 months. When i asked Mr Google, it obviously showed me cancer-related links like always haha, i don't usually take Google seriously but the thing is cancer runs in my family and my grandma is a triple-cancer survivor, including skin cancer, i'm also a smoker and i enjoy tanning during the summer, which adds to the problem. Should i be concerned or is it just medical anxiety and it's only a normal bump?

The bump on your finger could be a common situation called a wart. Warts are mostly painless and can sometimes have a black dot in the center. They are due to a virus which is not usually dangerous. But, if you are in doubt, the best thing is to get a dermatologist to check it.

Body heat too much in summer And borning sensation in feet it leads to body tiredness
Female | 26
When summer arrives, heat often causes burning feet. Our body attempts to cool itself, leading to fatigue. Inflamed nerves likely trigger burning feet. To find relief, rest frequently, and chill feet in cold water. If discomfort persists, visit your dermatologist.

I am 18 years old . I am having excessive hair loss for past 2 months . I was stressful due to exams in the 2 months and my periods have also been delayed. I am not under any medications . I have dandruff for more than 2 years by now
Female | 18
It sounds like you have been experiencing a lot of stress recently due to your exams, and this can sometimes lead to hair loss and delayed periods. Dandruff can also contribute to hair loss. It's important to manage your stress levels, eat a balanced diet, and use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo. If the hair loss continues, it's a good idea to talk to a dermatologist for further advice.

Hello! I have fair white skin and I got sunburned at the beach really bad, I have a fever, shivers and I am vomiting. I cannot sleep out of pain and I do not know what’s happening to me. Is this sun poisoning? No alcohol No pregnancy No medical history
Female | 29
It appears you might have a severe sunburn, exhibiting signs of sun poisoning. When you experience an intense sunburn, sun poisoning can occur. Fever, chills, vomiting, and severe discomfort are symptoms. Ensure adequate hydration, cool your skin with compresses and take pain relievers if necessary. Seek shade and avoid sun exposure until you recover. If the problem persists, visit a dermatologist.

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.

Iam having very high amount of hairfall
Male | 16
Experiencing increased hair loss can be concerning, and several factors may contribute to this, including stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying health issues. It's important to monitor any accompanying signs, such as changes in scalp health or overall well-being. To address this, consider maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products. Vitamin and mineral supplements may also be beneficial. However, it’s wise to consult a dermatologist for a personalized assessment and tailored treatment plan. They can provide specific insights to effectively manage and improve your condition.

I’m a 25 year old male who just noticed a purple like bruise on the foreskin of my penis shaft is this just a bruise or should I get it checked
Male | 25
The purple bruise on your penis could have been caused by many things. Sometimes it happens after an injury or from too much pressure. It could also be a burst blood vessel or a condition that affects blood vessels. Keep an eye on it. If it doesn’t go away or if there is any pain associated with it or any other symptoms occur, then you should see a dermatologist just to be safe.

I have tiny dots on my testicles
Male | 17
Noticing small spots or bumps on your scrotum can be concerning, but there’s no need to panic. These might be harmless. They could be little blood vessels called angiokeratomas lying close to the skin's surface. Sometimes there’s no need to do anything about these spots. You should see a dermatologist if they are itchy, painful, or annoying.

Female | 21
It is a common thing to be worried about baldness. Minimum amounts of hair may be a symptom of it. The main causes are genetic and some health problems. Symptoms include more hair left on brushes or in the shower to the extent of brushing. Along with these, eat a balanced diet, treat your hair with care, and stress management to help. Also, treatments such as minoxidil can be beneficial.

Male | 23
You may have developed a skin reaction to the post-exposure prophylaxis tablets. Reddish areas on the glans of the penis may indicate irritation or an allergy. To assist with this, you can use a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer or a hydrocortisone cream to soothe the skin. If the patches do not go away and worsen, consult a dermatologist.

Male | 29
It’s important to understand that symptoms like irritation, redness, or discharge can be signs of various conditions, such as infections from bacteria or fungi. These issues may arise due to poor hygiene, irritation from products, or sexual activity. To address this, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid irritants, and consider using mild soaps. However, visiting a sexologist is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 23
Using a yeast infection tablet is fine if you're a virgin. Yeast infections are common. They can make you itchy and irritated, with a thick, white discharge. The tablet kills the yeast causing the infection. It's safe to use and won't hurt you. Follow the directions on the packaging, and you'll feel better soon.

I am a 25 year old male and I have a skin condition around my testicles. It has been for over 2 years now. It appears to be a like a patch on the skin around my testicles. I recently got married 3 months ago. About a week ago, my crotch started giving out a pungent smell similar to that of chlorine despite washing it several times a day. Also, I observed small rashes on my scrotum and the skin peels when scratching it. Please I need your help.
Male | 25
You might have a skin condition known as tinea cruris, or jock itch. This is a fungal infection that often affects the groin area. Symptoms include red, itchy patches of skin, a bad smell, and peeling skin. It can be caused by sweating, tight clothing, or poor hygiene. To treat it, it is important to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose clothing, and use antifungal creams.
