Why My Swollen Lymph Node Behind Ear Shrink?

Patient's Query

i have a lump behind my ear that hasn't gone away. it appears to be a swollen lymph node and it's not that big but it's been here for a while and won't seem to go down or go away. i checked on it today and it looks bigger than before so i'm worried.

Dermatology

Consequently, the tonsils may swell; this usually happens because of viruses and bacteria nabbing around in lymph nodes. However, sometimes it is a sign of a more serious or chronic condition; therefore, continuous changes of lumps need to be evaluated by a doctor. You should consult a dermatologist for more proper treatment advice.

I have blisters all over my body, mouth, and genitals. Different sizes some filled with more pus than others.

Female | 18

You have something called ‘Herpes’ which is a condition caused by a viral infection in different sizes around the body parts, mainly the mouth, and genitals where one gets blisters filled with pus. These sores can hurt but they will disappear over time. Don’t burst them open and keep the place dry and clean. Visit a dermatologist for further treatment.

Based on what you’ve described, it could be a yeast infection on your penis. Yeast infections can cause itching, redness, and a rash. The ointment you bought has mometasone and miconazole, which may aid in treating fungal infections such as yeast. Ensure you use this cream exactly as directed by applying a thin layer only to the affected area. If no improvement is seen after applying the medicine according to the instructions or if the condition worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Acne is multi-factorial problem, hormonal disease in most of the patients, diet, exercise, hygiene, grooming practices play important role.so visiting dermatologist and taking treatment is one option and maintain treatment for long time because if you are getting any improvement with the treatment then continue it otherwise dermatologist will change it. there are few things that has to be taken care. One thing not to apply hair oil, avoid having dandruff or use anti-dandruff shampoos weekly on the scalp, using face washes that have salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Avoid using thick greasy moisturizers or cream on the face. Use only creams that are gel based or water based. Drink plenty of water, avoid fat or cheesy diet, exercise 10-15 mins of the day. Topical steroids have to be avoided. Topical antibiotics like Clindamycin are useful. Oral Antibiotics or retinoids are advised.

Acne issue Face neck back and chest

Female | 21

Acne can appear on various areas, such as the face, neck, back, and chest, often presenting as pimples, blackheads, or cysts. This condition typically arises from clogged pores, hormonal fluctuations, or bacteria. To manage it, establish a daily skincare routine using gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic products. Hydration and a balanced diet can also help. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid might be beneficial. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consider seeing a dermatologist for tailored advice.

Suffering from acne /pimpleblackhead problem from last 4 year

Female | 17

The prime reason for this is mostly the excess oil production on your skin. Stress, hormonal changes, and the fact that you don't clean your face properly can worsen it. To boost your skin, follow these suggestions: wash your face often with a mild cleanser, keep your hands off your face, and eat a balanced diet.

If you had this sickness and got help, your wife needs to get checked too. Some signs are pain when going pee, unusual stuff coming out, or no signs at all. To stop spreading it, do not touch private parts until you both get help.

Can i get hpv from sharing clothes , towels or my personal items or objects from someone who has genital warts ?

Male | 32

Genital warts are caused by a virus known as HPV. It is impossible to be infected with HPV through the sharing of clothes, towels, or objects of personal hygiene. The most common way for HPV to spread is through skin-to-skin contact, usually during sexual activity. The general symptoms of genital warts are the presence of small, flesh-colored bumps in the genital area. In case you happen to be concerned about HPV then the best thing to do is to talk to a healthcare provider about preventing and treating it.

Fungal infections can present with symptoms like itching, redness, and discomfort in affected areas. These infections may arise from factors such as moisture, weakened immunity, or exposure to spores. It’s great that you’re seeking help now. Treatment options usually involve antifungal medications and lifestyle adjustments to keep the affected area dry and clean. I encourage you to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. They can help you navigate this condition effectively and ensure you’re on the right path to recovery.

I’ve had an allergic reaction to something that I have eaten. That was three days ago. I went to the hospital because I started getting hives. They were itchy, so sore and red and hot to the touch. They said it was a surface allergy. And gave me a steroid, antihistamine, anti inflammatory. But after it wears off it gets hot to the touch my face burns and turns red and swells slightly and it starts to spread more til I take the next dose and then I start to feel a little better idk what’s going on

Female | 22

Perhaps your body is responding to something to which it is allergic. Sometimes, reactions are not instant, taking days to fully develop. The redness, swelling, hives, and warmth you feel are typical allergic signs. Avoid whatever caused this reaction. Continue taking prescribed medicine. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, consult a dermatologist promptly.

According to the information you have given, your left side's visible bulging under the throat could be due to some pathological reasons. This can be demonstrated through infections, allergy symptoms, thyroid disorders, etc. Stay hydrated, get proper rest, and try the warm compress on it, if you can, for a while.

Male | 12

Bug bites often cause red, itchy spots. Most aren't dangerous, but seek medical help if symptoms worsen. Bites can sometimes trigger fever or swelling. To relieve itchiness, apply a cold compress or anti-itch cream. However, if the bite area enlarges, causes pain, or you develop fever, it's wise to consult a dermatologist.

Mere face ke neeche neck ke pass hanging pimples hogaye hain. Hanging pimples ko hatane ke liye kya karoon. Please tell me medicine and treatment for removal of my hanging pimples. My age is 35 years.

पुरुष | 35

Those pimples under your chin could be a sign of acne. This can happen due to overstretched pores and excessive oil production on your skin. You can use a thorough cleanser and products containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help eliminate them. It is also important not to pick or squeeze the pimples, as this can worsen them. If over-the-counter treatments don't work, it is best to see a dermatologist for further advice. Sometimes, antibiotics may also help.

Meri hath or paon ki veins bht phul jati ha or dard v Karti ha pehly NHI thi lkn ab o jati ha Meri age 23 ha hath latkao to ubhar ati han or pain Karti paon ki v Zameen py rakhu ya chalu to ubhar ati han but dard NHI karti

Female | 23

Aapki haathon aur paon ki veins ka phulna aur dard hona kayi wajah se ho sakta hai, jaise blood circulation ki samasya ya phir vadeen ki kamjori. Yeh kabhi kabhi stress ya zyada khade rehne se bhi hota hai. Aap thoda rest kar sakte hain aur legs ko elevate karke rakhna bhi madadgar hoga. Kahi baar halka exercise ya stretching bhi faydemand rah sakta hai. Lekin agar yeh samasya badh rahi hai ya aapko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai, toh ek cardiologist se milna zaroori hai. Wo aapki health ko samajhne me behtar madad kar sakte hain.
