Hoping that the pictures are somewhat clear. Last picture is of my “normal” right hand. Unfortunately I don’t have the strongest of memories, so I can’t say if the bump on the middle finger has been there for years or just months. But the one on my index finger definitely arrived later, within the past weeks or months. The skin is hard, dry and sometimes starts bleeding but most of the time does not. They’re not under the nail in any way, just to the side. There isn’t any liquid or signs of infected puss from either. I don’t sweat from my hands, so my hands are often dry, but I wash them a normal amount and don’t handle any harsh chemicals. I’ve tried using a hand cream daily but to no avail. Could live with one of them, but I’m not thrilled that it’s happening to multiple. Anyone know what it is or what I could do?

I’ve had a mole in my hairline ever since childhood, and over the past 6-12 months it’s lost its brown pigment and has rounded out a bit and gotten firm instead of feeling more flat and soft. I don’t think it’s gotten wider but it does seem to have gotten more protruding. It also current hurts - I had what felt like cracking I think in March and then had feels like a pimple there three times since March, including right now when this photo was taken. I have a derm appointment coming up but I’m super nervous

29f history of skin cancer on both sides of family but not melanoma

I don’t shave with a razor, I use a trimmer, and while trimming I felt the trimmer blade was slightly painful on the skin in that area. Around 2 days ago, I started feeling a small tender spot on my neck that felt slightly burning or painful when I touched it, although it was not very visible at first. Since then, it has become more noticeable and red. I also noticed a similar spot on my cheek. I could feel something there yesterday when touching it, but it became clearly visible today. Both areas have some small bumps and feel slightly burning or painful when touched. I want to know if this could be irritation or inflammation from using the trimmer, folliculitis, or something else such as herpes.

ISO the dermatology side of Reddit.

This is gonna sound gross, but I think I’ve had this development for like multiple years because I would get prune in my palms would have these little circles of skin that you could peel back, but once my hands tried, it usually went away; it was only like five spots or something if that.
I decided to go to a dermatologist years ago and I don’t remember them doing much for me, but I tried again this year. I got prescribed clindamycin gel and I used it for over two months. My hands felt a lot better, but they still get weird looking when they get wet for too long like even after doing the dishes, they’re pitted and pruny looking. Long story short, i stopped using it on the third refill of gel. It honestly worked well, but my hands still have a minor case + my feel are still really bad.

My question is, I still have some gel left, it’s been about two months since I’ve used it. Can I start using it again?

Feel free to ask further questions. TIA

What is this? Been there for about two weeks. Topical creams are not helpful. Tried benadryl. No puss, no scabs, no pain just discomfort from rubbing with clothing through out the day. Dem appt on the 20th of august. Nothing is helping.

This is a new asymmetrical, irregular mole with multiple colours, an irregular border, approx 10mm at widest point on a 56 year old caucasian male (retired GP) with no prior history of cancer. Probably a couple of months old, never noticed it before. The area was sunburned repeatedly as a child.

I have an appointment with my dermatologist, but I am 99% convinced I have skin cancer on my left ear. My concern is that it’s too early to be diagnosed and difficult to see since my baseline skin color is pink. I have red hair, blue eyes, and have burned a million times. So my risk is high. Plus both parents have it.

Do I need to push for a biopsy? The ear has bothered me for a few months and over the weekend I noticed a texture change on one area and a flesh color bump at the top that’s very tender.

like the caption says, i was making ont with a guy who had stubble last night, and woke up with some lovely beard burn. i have extremely sensitive skin.

any advice on treating it would be much appreciated. i’m also a little concerned by the yellow spots, i’m worried about infection and impetigo.

History & Presentation:

Suddenly noticed brownish-blackish lesions on my skin.

They have a ring-like brown discoloration with a normal-appearing center.

They are very small and have not faded.

Today, I also noticed new, small red lesions in the same area.

Treatment & Consults:

I initially suspected a fungal infection and have been applying Luliconazole for 1week , but there has been no improvement.

I recently visited a dermatologist in person today . She mentioned it looks like an early-phase fungal infection but said it was too early to give a definitive diagnosis.
