What are brown spots near my neck and ear?
So i noticed brown spots on my neck up behind my ear by my hair line what can that be

Answered on 1st Oct '24
Potentially, the brown spots you have behind your ear and the hairline might be due to a condition known as seborrheic keratosis. These spots are generally harmless and may come as you age. They don't contain any elements of contagion or cancer. If it damages or bothers you a dermatologist can pop them. Keep conducting thorough skin protection against sun rays to stop more spots appearing on your skin.

I have noticed a lump under my skin on my neck
Male | 22
As the lump on your neck is a crucial concern, a doctor should be consulted for its evaluation. This abnormality may be the symptom of a wide range of causes from a common infection to a benign growth. I advise you to make an appointment with a dermatologist or an ENT specialist for in-depth analysis and appropriate management.

I had found small red spot with white border they come twice from last 20 days come and go automatically can it's simple or anything
Male | 36
The red spots are minor in most cases and may be due to low-grade skin irritation, or allergic, or insect bites. They will usually heal quickly without the help of medicines. Nevertheless, you should see a dermatologist just to make sure you are okay and your condition is properly diagnosed. They can complete the whole check-up and decide if you need any special type of therapy.

Surgery was done on keloid on my back but it's not healing fast. What should I do to make it not to grow back
Male | 43
Keloids are raised, pink scars that can grow beyond the original wound area. They are caused by an excessive production of collagen during the healing process. To prevent their recurrence, you should keep the wound clean, use silicone gel sheets, and abstain from activities that might irritate the skin. If the keloid persists in causing problems, other treatment options like steroid injections or laser therapy can be considered. Ensure to follow up with a dermatologist to discuss what should be done next.

I have a rash on my chin and four head and it stard on Friday and it is not going away
Female | 27
A rash on your chin and forehead can result from various factors like an allergic reaction, irritant exposure, or even a skin infection. Common symptoms include redness, itching, or dryness. To alleviate discomfort, consider using a mild moisturizer or hydrocortisone cream. Avoid harsh products and refrain from scratching the area. It's essential to keep the skin clean and monitor for any worsening or additional symptoms. If the rash persists beyond a few days or shows signs of infection, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment.

My face turns red There are small pimples on the face and now there are dark spots on the skin, tell me the solution to reduce it
Male | 29
To treat acne and its related dark spots, wash your face twice daily using a mild soap; apply an oil-free moisturizer and avoid pricking or scratching at any pimples. Over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid would be effective too if used consistently for about twelve weeks. If none of these measures work for you, you can see a dermatologist who will give you more instructions based on your specific needs.

I have a very thick foul smell dark underarms as well dark neck and itching underarms
Female | 28
You may have a condition named acanthosis nigricans. It can bring about thick, dark, smelly skin in places such as the underarms, and neck. Scratching is another symptom that is often associated with this condition. Acanthosis nigricans is related to the fact that one is overweight or has diabetes. Adopting a healthier lifestyle is necessary to eat a well-balanced diet and exercise can help improve this condition.

I have some patches in ny face then I have some melasma
Female | 29 year
Facial discoloration can be concerning, and patches may suggest various causes, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin conditions. Melasma often appears as brown or tan patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip, frequently linked to hormonal shifts. To address this, consider using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, which protects against further darkening. Topical treatments and chemical peels can also be effective; however, it's best to consult a dermatologist for a personalized plan. Their expertise can ensure you receive the safest and most effective care.

I think my belly button piercing is infected
Female | 16
If your belly button piercing appears to be infected, the signs may include redness, pain, heat, swelling, or pus discharge. You can get an infection if you fail to clean your piercing well or you touch it with dirty hands. To assist this, gently clean it with saline solution and avoid using harsh products on the area. Also, do not remove any jewelry from inside the piercing until advised otherwise by a professional. Visit a dermatologist if there is no improvement.

Iam a 20 year male and i have small white spot side of my throat
Male | 20
It seems you are dealing with tonsillitis, a condition that is identified by the white spots in the tonsils. This often accompanies a viral or a bacterial infection that further causes manifestations like sore throat and difficulties in swallowing. The best way to relieve the symptoms is to drink a lot of fluids, get some rest, and take throat lozenges. If it still doesn't get better, it's a good idea to consult a health care provider for further help.

dark brown discoloured toenail
Female | 21
This could indicate an injury, like something heavy dropped on your toe. Or, it might mean a fungal infection has taken hold. Keep watching the affected nail carefully in case symptoms worsen. If pain increases, discoloration spreads, or other nails become involved, see a dermatologist.

Hi , I had a blind comedones under my face skin , and it is for 2 years now and its not inflammed it's just like a black head but without head and the doctor tried more than 2 times to remove them by extraction but with no result (they were deep) so we had to do them by laser to open up a hole and extract them but the inside were solid so after the session there were holes and one of them is big. My question is are they leaving scars ? I will leave a picture after 3 weeks from the procedure …. My doctor is saying that it will take time to heal ? I’m afraid they will leave a permanent scars
Female | 27
It’s usual to have scars after a surgical process but differing factors play a role in the level of damage and recovery period. As far as laser treatment is concerned, scarring may occur, but it’s usually minimal and will go away with time. I suggest you visit the dermatologist instead as they can give you better advice on post-treatment care and ensure that you heal properly.

Hypertrophic Acne scar on both sides nose only ...
Male | 25
You seem to have hypertrophic acne scars on both sides of your nose. These raised, bumpy scars happen when too much collagen forms during healing. Treatments like laser therapy or corticosteroid injections can help flatten and soften them. However, you must protect your skin from the sun, as sunlight makes scars more noticeable.

I have discovered a small lump on my foreskin. It looks like a small whitehead and doesn't hurt unless it's poked about, similar to a spot. Just want to know if this is normal?
Male | 16
You described a whitehead as a clogged sebaceous gland or harmless zit. These occur from time to time when sweat and oil get trapped. Unless it hurts or grows larger there is likely nothing to worry about. Keep it clean and don’t pick at it. Talking to a dermatologist is always a good idea if it changes or you are uneasy.

Male | 34
Vitiligo is a medical condition where white spots appear on the skin. It is also capable of changing the color of hair. The exact cause is not known, although it is thought to occur when the cells that give skin and hair their color are damaged. There is no cure for vitiligo, however, treatments such as creams and light therapy may help to make the skin look better. It's best to see a dermatologist for the right treatment.

I am having acne or pimple on my face and scars too. My skin is rough and sometimes oily. When I wash my face it becomes rough and Whitens. I am having dandruff too. What should I do?
Female | 25
It sounds like you’re experiencing a combination of acne and rough skin, which can be linked to excess oil production and possibly inflammation. Your skin's reaction to washing may indicate sensitivity. For improved skin health, consider using a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser and a light moisturizer designed for oily skin. Exfoliating once a week can help with texture. Also, managing dandruff with a medicated shampoo may benefit your overall skin clarity. However, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your specific needs.

Female | 20
You might have genital warts, which are infected by a virus named HPV. These warts are usually located in the genital area and some cases, they disappear on their own, but they can reappear. It's crucial to get an opinion from a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment. Treatment options might include medicines or procedures for the removal of the warts.
