Rectangular Leg Swelling: Causes and Concerns

I have a rectangular patch of swelling or inflammation on my lower leg. It is about 4 inches in length and 3 inches in width. It has a small lump inside of it as well. I do not feel any pain nor do I think it is tender. I’ve had it for maybe about 5 or 6 moths and it has now gotten any smaller or bigger. The only medication I’ve. even taking is unisom for a few years now for insomnia and now for nausea because I am about 6 weeks pregnant. I also take prenatal. Why might I have these swelling/inflammation?

You may have a lipoma, a lump of fat lie­s beneath the skin. It is painless, harmle­ss. Its size remains constant, gene­rally. Your medications likely didn't cause it. Still, se­ek a doctor's examination for confirmation. If it grows, changes color, or brings pain, de­finitely consult a dermatologist

I am a 21 year old female. I have a painless neck cyst of in the left size below ear of about pea size for 4-5 years. What should I do?

Female | 21

Such cysts can grow on your neck due to the blockage in the glands. It has been there for an elapsed time and no significant pain has occurred. That is probably nothing to worry about given the duration of its time there and the fact it is asymptomatic. Still, I strongly believe that expert attention from a doctor is needed.

I have a rash on my armpits and on both but it mainly itches on my left armpit and I’ve tried putting on antibiotics cream and Benadryl cream and it still itches and not getting better I haven’t been putting on deodorant either because of it

Female | 33

It seems to be a fungal infection in your left armpit. I suggest you see a dermatologist to look into the rash, and get a medication accordingly. Deodorant should also be avoided as it might make the situation worse.

Dr I am suffering from acne face, my face has excess oil, Dr tell me the medicine I can take

Male | 23

Acne occurs when you have these red spots on your face caused by your skin producing too much oil. It's super common, especially during the teenage years. To help, you can use a face wash with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These can clear up your skin by unclogging your pores.

You may have bilateral facial swelling, meaning both sides of your face are swollen. This could be caused by infections, allergies, or dental issues. It's important to see a physician as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, you can apply ice packs to reduce the swelling and avoid eating foods high in salt and spices.

I have been feeling pain in both of my breast especially armpits what could it be it ha happened for weeks now , I have no lumps

Female | 20

This type of pain, darling, can occasionally be a result of hormonal variations, like during your menstrual cycle. It could also be wearing too tight clothes or even a sign of muscle strain. In order to treat the pain, you can wear loose clothes, use warm compresses and gentle massage.

Need best treatment for Ringworm

Female | 35

Ringworm is a skin infection caused by fungi that result in red, circular ring-like rashes with intense itching. Ringworm is best treated with antifungal drugs prescribed by a dermatologist. However, in case you suspect that the illness is ringworm it will be helpful to visit a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

I had acne breakout in my forehead and chin

Female | 28

The forehead and chin acne breakout is a skin disorder resulting from blocked pores caused by excessive oil production. I recommend that you see a dermatologist to receive proper diagnosis and treatment. Based on the level of your acne, they might suggest topical adjuvants or oral medications.
