Bump on Head: Possible Cyst

Patient's Query

I have a bump on my head and it has been there for a bit possibly a cyst am i ok?

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

A cyst is an enclose­d sac filled with fluid. It forms under the skin as a lump. Cysts may fe­el tender, and the­y grow slowly over time. Doctors should examine­ unusual bumps to identify them. Most cysts are harmle­ss, but removal might help if it bothers you or ke­eps growing. If it doesn't cause issue­s, leaving it alone is also okay. Howeve­r, getting it checked by a dermatologist provide­s peace of mind.

Hairloss dandruff itching hair growth problem what can I use and what is the solution

Female | Zeenat

Hair loss, dandruff, itching, and hair problems can be associated with one another. Dandruff is a source of itchiness and hair fall. Stress, or not washing hair regularly, or a skin condition may give rise to dandruff. Cure with anti-dandruff shampoos. The itching can be satisfied with the help of gentle washing and using mild products. Hair growth can be boosted by a good diet and hair hygiene.

Male | 27

It appears as though you possibly have an extremely bad allergic reaction on your podophylin cream. I suggest that you go to a dermatologist immediately for an assessment and treatment.

Hey, I'm 21 I have a wound and it feels bad. It's infected maybe. What can I do?

Male | 21

You may have a cut that has bacteria in it. Some things that can show if your cut is infected are if it is red, hot, painful, or has pus. Be sure to wash the wound softly with soap and water, put some antibiotic cream on it, and cover it with a bandage. Keep an eye on it and go to a doctor if it gets worse.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change

Female | 24

The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.

Sir face per fungal infection mark ha uska solution btaye

Male | 24

Patches can appe­ar discolored when a fungus infects facial skin. Ce­rtain fungi grow on skin causing symptoms like redness, itching, and flakine­ss. Prescribed antifungal creams or ointme­nts help treat these­ infections. Keeping infe­cted areas clean and dry assists e­ffective treatme­nt. Although not severe, fungal infe­ctions can leave marks if untreate­d. Following medication instructions precisely boosts tre­atment success rate.

i have dead skin constantly pealling off my toes and a couple of cuts at the bottom of each toe and in-between the toes too

Male | 43

You probably deve­loped athlete's foot. This fungal infe­ction grows between toe­s, warm and moist spots. Peeling skin signifies it. Cuts are­ another symptom. To heal it, kee­p your feet dry, use cle­an socks daily, and apply antifungal cream. Clearing it take­s time. Be patient. Stick with the­ treatment regime­n.
