Why is a black lump on my lips?

There is a sudden development of a black coloured lump on my lips . Can you please give me details of this

Answered on 15th July '24

Several factors can cause black lumps. It's sometimes a self-resolving harmless blood blister that happens when you accidentally bite your lip or something more serious like skin cancer. Anyway, always be alert to the piece of the lump being uncomfortable, bloody, or growing in size. It's better to seek counseling from a physician to be cautious.

Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride is this tablet for skin allergy

Female | 45

Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

A few days ago I noticed a bump on my head and I thought I just hit my head. After a couple days it started to get a bit bigger and I noticed that it was a pimple on my scalp. I popped the pimple and removed all the pus and it started to bleed for a little bit but it shortly went away. I went to take a look at it today and I noticed a small circular bald spot about 1 cm in diameter where the pimple used to be. When touching the area with my hand I noticed that the hair in that area is really sensitive and can fall out if I rummage my hand through that area. Is this a concern or is this something normal?

Male | 21

A small circular bald spot on the scalp after popping a pimple is not uncommon, but if the area is sensitive and hair is falling out, please see a dermatologist to rule out infection or other underlying conditions.

Hi...i am having itchy rash outside my vagina and thighs , its been 2days

Female | 24

Fungal infections can lead to an itchy rash in the vaginal and thigh area. The warm and humid climate is an ideal growth environment for fungi. Keep the area dry and clean. You can use antifungal creams available over the counter to help clear it up. Moreover, wearing loose and breathable clothes is also important.

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.

Sewing machine needle passed through my nail and finger from bottom

Female | 43

This can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding. The needle can carry bacteria that may cause infection. Gently clean the area with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and use a bandage to cover it. If you notice any listed symptoms such as increased pain, spreading redness, or pus, try to get medical assistance to get rid of it.
