Red Veins on Breasts: Causes & Treatment Options

i’m 16 years old and recently a lot of small red veins appeared on my breasts that feel bruise like. what could this be?

1 Answer

Answered on 13th Aug '24

There­ are red lines re­sembling bruises on your breasts. The­se could be small, burst blood vesse­ls known as spider veins. These­ may appear in teens due­ to growth, hormones, or skin changes. They stand out more­ if your skin is light. Wear well-fitted bras and avoid e­xcessive pressure­ to reduce their appe­arance. If they worry you, discuss them with a dermatologist.

Can my skin color still return after not taking iron supplements for a year

Female | 19

Yes, definitely! Starting iron supplementation can help improve your skin color. Symptoms of low iron, like pallor and fatigue, can show up in your body. Most iron deficiency is due to not getting enough iron in your diet. A balanced diet should include iron-rich foods like spinach and meat. Seek advice from a healthcare professional for suitable recommendations.

I am suffering from a postpartum hair fall issue. What should I do?

Female | 30

Up to 50% of new moms suffer from normal postpartum hair loss due to such hormonal shifts. It typically spikes around 4-5 months and subsides in a period between six to twelve months. Pay attention to general health, softer hair washing and scalp massage. If hair loss is heavy, prolonged, or associated with scalp problems then it’s advised to see a dermatologist. You are not the only one, and your hair will likely be back to normal!

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.

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.

i am using finasteride 1mg daily for hair loss . i have read that it can cause prostate cancer . is this true or can i take it without any worry

Male | 26

Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

Male | 33

Growth changes may be a normal part of life for many people, particularly during formative years. Many things may result from these changes. Many reasons can cause these changes. If you see sudden or weird developments, it's best to talk first to a healthcare provider to eliminate any fears.

looking inflammation or can say Balanitis infection on front skin. Please suggest which doctor to consult Dermatologist/Urologist/Analogists or sexologist.

Male | 60

Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin located at the front end of the penis. If addressing the issue, professionals, such as dermatologists and urologists, who are experts in skin and urinary system disease may be consulted. The issue of balanitis springs from a lack of cleanliness, some skin conditions, or various infections. Recommendations from doctors include cleaning the area, prescription of medicated creams, or, if there is an infection, they might need to take antibiotics.

a girl who is 7 years old I also have skin and viral infection in leg.

Female | 7

A skin infection likely caused by a virus is probably what you have on your leg. These skin infections may appear in the form of redness, swelling, and sometimes, pain. They can get diffused from a person to a person by contact. A gleaming, gentle antiseptic cloth, however, along with some timely rest brings an enhanced quality of life. In addition, you would want to think about not scratching the area as the infection may diffuse. The point to be noted is if the symptoms are remaining or getting worse, it would be better if you consult a doctor.

I am 25 year old women. My hairfall was extreme from april and i can see a lot of hairs on my pillow floors and they were so fragile and now it has reduced but my scalp is visible under light. I had pcos and in january i had passed a large blood clot with sever pain in palvis but now my periods are also normal. I had extreme emotional stress as my mother was severly ill. I am concerned about my hair my hairline is intact but top and crown area is affected and diffuse thinning is there

Female | 25

Hair loss can be caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, or health issues like PCOS. In your case, the shedding might be related to these factors. The good news is that it should improve as your menstrual cycle regulates. Eating well, managing stress, and self-care will help your hair grow back stronger.

Itching only on left side particular side only

Female | 34

When the itching is only on one side of your body, it might mean that something is irritant your skin. Occasionally, allergies or dermatitis that is caused by eczema can be the reasons for that. Moreover, nerve disorders or infections may be the causes. Look if you have any rashes or skin discoloration. Try to refrain from scratching as it may cause an infection. The application of a light moisturizer or a calm cream can give some relief.
