Bump on Head: Possible Cyst

Dr. Anju Methil
Cosmetologist
Answered on 5th Sept '24
A cyst is an enclosed sac filled with fluid. It forms under the skin as a lump. Cysts may feel tender, and they grow slowly over time. Doctors should examine unusual bumps to identify them. Most cysts are harmless, but removal might help if it bothers you or keeps growing. If it doesn't cause issues, leaving it alone is also okay. However, getting it checked by a dermatologist provides peace of mind.

The dark skin tone might stem from sluggish blood flow. As for the shaking and ear ringing, those could be linked to stress or fatigue from all that hard work. Remember to pause during those long shifts, try some relaxation exercises, and nourish yourself properly. If the issues persist, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist.

Risk of HIV from Cut Contact with Blood on Cloth
I had a small cut on my hand that came into contact with blood on clothe. I didn't see any blood on my cut afterward or any wetness. Could I be infected with HIV?
Dr. Ishmeet Kaur
Dermatologist
Answered on 4th Sept '24
HIV does not spread easily from dried blood. The virus dies quickly outside the body. A small cut touching dried blood is very unlikely to cause infection. Unbroken skin protects against HIV entering the body. Being cautious with blood is wise. However, in this case, the chance of getting HIV is extremely low. It's still good to watch for any unusual symptoms. But you probably have nothing to worry about!
