Purple Arm Spots Without Pain

I have purple spots on my arm but i feel any pain

1 Answer

Answered on 6th Aug '24

Red-purple­ dots may appear on your arm. They don't hurt. These­ come from tiny blood vessels bursting close­ to the skin's surface. This condition is called purpura. Purpura can happen due­ to small injuries or randomly. Most cases go away without treatme­nt. However, if more spots show up, or othe­r symptoms occur, or if purpura persists, you should see a dermatologist. This can rule­ out underlying health issues causing the­se spots.

Is there a chance to be caught by Hiv if someone's diabetes needle pricked my hand

Female | 19

The likelihood of HIV infection is negligible if a diabetic needle pricks your hand. HIV is transferred via blood, however, the needle prick is not a high-risk exposure. If you are concerned, watch out for symptoms such as flu, fever, or rash. If you see them, go to a doctor.

The cost of the treatment will depend on the type of treatment and the number of sessions recommended.

Female | 21

Hi Muskan... Firstly, please stop using any chemical creams or other treatments as they can prove harmful for your skin. Instead, try going for moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and use natural ingredients like honey, turmeric etc. to lighten your skin. I also advise you to apply sunscreen when going out. Also, please follow a healthy lifestyle to keep your skin healthy and protected. I hope this answer proved helpful.

Ingrown nail. Looking for dermatologist

Male | 23

In case of an ingrown nail, it is recommended to visit a dermatologist. They can evaluate the severity of the other ingrown nail, provide its proper care and offer treatment alternatives. In mild cases, soaking the affected area in warm water and lifting gently under the ingrown edge may work. On the contrary, in case of more severe ingrown nail or recurrent one surgical intervention is indicated. Do not try to deal with it yourself to avoid complications or infections. The healthcare professional should be consulted for proper treatment specific to your case.

I am having problem with my piercing the hole on the top of the skin is closed but the earing is stuck from behind what to do

Female | 20

Your piercing might cause some trouble. Sometimes, the hole on top of your skin may close up while the earring remains stuck from behind. This can happen when the skin wraps around the back of the earring. You might experience pain, redness, or swelling. To solve this, you can gently try pushing the earring out from the back or seek help from a professional piercer. Never force it out, as that can cause more harm.

Can I use bleach on face if I am under treatment for verrucca plana?

Female | 21

Don't put ble­ach on your face if you have verruca plana. That skin issue­ happens when a virus infects your ce­lls. It creates odd growths. Harsh bleach irritate­s skin more, making problems seve­re. Follow your doctor's advice precise­ly. Treat your skin gently and patiently.

How long does contact dermatitis last

The contact dermatitis can last a long time. It depends upon the nature, frequency and duration of the exposure to the allergens. If the exposure to the allergens continues it might take very long time. If the exposure to the allergens is stopped then it will be recovered quickly.

I have red dots on my shaft (penis) and I can't figure out what they are, I've looked at pictures (regrettably) and none of them look like what I have. My first thought was pimples/acne, because I haven't had a good shower schedule nor have I had a good diet, but they don't look like pimples, they have black dots in the middle. I don't think it's itchy, at least the 4-5 bumps on the shaft, but I have maybe 2 or 3 on my scrotum that itch though. I thought bugs might be the issue but I've thoroughly checked my room and there are none. In terms of how they look, they're red, no white, 1 has black in the middle (maybe a growing hair?). I don't think it's any STIs since me and my girlfriend haven't had sex/sexual contact in months, it doesnt look like most of the ones i looked up, and this is only appearing now. I just don't know what to do about this and I need help diagnosing since I don't have the money for a doctors appointment.

Male | 18

It seems you're showing some alarming symptoms. The red bumps with black centers may be due to folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), burn or a mild fungal disorder. The itch on your scrotum is probably caused by possible irritation or it is an allergic reaction. A thorough cleaning of the body and a proper diet would be great as well, but it is the best choice to visit a health care professional to know the correct situation and also get treatment. They have the capability to provide the relevant care and the necessary reassurance. As health should be your priority, always think about getting assistance when you have a problem.
