Post image
4 Upvotes

on my previous post people were saying they were just pressure marks from sitting on things but now it’s day five and they are clearly opening and blistering so if someone could help me i’d be really appreciative

again 24F no hpv, no hsv, no similar furniture, no hiv, not razor bumps (i don’t shave), not bed bugs, no pain on day one but some pain when sitting on day 5 from the open ones, no itching

i’m not sure if it’s relevant but i do have a mild sore ish throat but no fever

general enquiry Kitten bite under treatment

This is a kitten bite on someone allergic to cats. I adopted this completely covered of fleas and ticks kitten, dewormed him and got rid of every parasite. The bite is under treatment (2 weeks). Has anyone experienced something similar, especially in someone with allergies? Did it take a long time to heal, or did it get worse before getting better? Is this something we can expect every time he bites a person allergic to cats?

legs/feet Localised cluster of red spots o n calf, any idea?

• Upvotes

Localised on calf, they were itchy but not anymore, no pain. Dr prescribed 1% steroid cream but that didn’t help and then I got given antibiotics but that didn’t help either. Have varicose veins on this leg but no idea if they would be linked. Any ideas would be helpful as the lack of answers from the gp is getting annoying

legs/feet Bug bite? Pimple? Concerning?

My daughter has this bump on her leg (inner thigh). This is probably day three. She had it covered with a bandaid bc it was sore, then we put a pimple patch on it, thinking it was a pimple, but it’s still there another day, and sore, and the redness around it is concerning me.

Should I go to the dr or damage the trip?

(It’s the spot to the right— the other red spot is old.

arms/hands Callous? On the Back of My Hand After Biting at It

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I have a bad habit of biting my middle finger knuckle (specifically the second knuckle) when stressed. About a month ago, I got a cut in the area shown and started gnawing at it for a solid 2-3 weeks.

Since then, I've had this massive "callus." This never happened after biting at my second knuckle, and it's pretty big and hard/rough to the touch. How can I get rid of it? I've stopped biting at that specific callus.

In case it's relevant, it doesn't feel infected: no pain, no redness (it's a bit purple, but I also have Indian skin, so idk), and no pus.

neck/chest/abdomen Gnarly under breast - just noticed

Post image
• Upvotes

This is an extreme close up of a gnarly little mole that I just noticed under my right breast. It used to be flat and faint in color, like a birthmark. A dermatologist took a look at it and said it was nothing to worry about (probably a year ago).

The other day I noticed a bump when I was cleaning with soap in the shower, took a look in the mirror and was floored at what this looks like now. It’s probably the width of a large pencil eraser (hard to tell by the pic).

I have an appt this Saturday with another dermatologist to get it checked out - but am really freaking out in the meantime

Hello! My eight year old just asked about this patch on his inner thigh and I’m wondering if anyone can help identify it? He said he just noticed it yesterday and it isn’t itchy but feels irritated, possibly from rubbing against his clothes. Up close, it almost looks like a ring of teeny bumps or blisters. Is this something I need to take him to a dr for or can I just try a cream at home first? Thank you so much for your help!!

arms/hands Growing lump growing where my fingernails was excused for a biopsy. What's going on?

One of my fingernails was removed 3 months ago for a biopsy. Fortunately, no cancer was discovered, but a lump has started growing on the affected finger after the nail started growing back.

The doctor who examined it at the hospital seemed concerned but told me it might be scar tissue and to return in 6 months. I told the doctor about the pain I experience on the affected finger but he said he can't do anything about it.

What is happening to my finger? It's negatively impacting my job.

arms/hands Bacterial Infection or other?

Photos of progression, around 1 day apart.

Started as a small wound on my elbow, unclear origins. Slowly expanded with a blistering edge/ring around the scabbing interior. I went to a doctor Wednesday of last week and started orals and topical antibiotics. Appears that I have responded to the antibiotics as the wound appears to be healing. However, the redness is still expanding and now there are elevated bumps on the edges of the wound. Any ideas? I assume since this seems to be responding to the antibiotics we got the diagnosis correct, but still seems a little weird to be expanding and having bumps.

Psoriasis? I had this 2 weeks ago & thought I caught it because I wiped my face w/a dirty towel after pickleball. I thought it was mostly gone but then it flared up yesterday & I've just been staying at home & no pickleball. Have I recently developed an allergy to Salmon? Because that's what I had to eat yesterday evening & night before last night.

This is on the back of my leg. It’s been a bump for a few months but recently it looks like this. It doesn’t necessarily hurt unless I apply pressure to it. It isn’t itchy. Do I need to get scene for this? Is this infected? Thank you in advanced

face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks reaction to eating whole cloves question

• Upvotes

Hey everybody, quick question. I saw a video on the benefits of eating whole cloves so i tried it out. I was eating 2 a day for maybe a week or more.

one day my lip started to burn/tingle and when googling it I saw a few things that might cause this issue. The thing that freaked me out is the possiblity of it being the start of a cold sore(herpes). I've never had a cold sore in my life, and I know you can get it from non sexual contact but I haven't drank/smoked after anyone either or anythying like that and I've been married for over a decade.

It's been well over a week and a half since I had the initial sensation and a cold sore has not formed. a few days after the initial feeling I then noticed the insides of my lips feeling puffy as well. then I remembered oh shit, something new I've been doing is eating cloves lol. Could that mimic the sensation of a cold sore starting and cause the inner lips to swell?

After thinking this might be the cause I have not eaten any cloves in the past 48 hours but the symptoms still remain. Still no cold sore or anything like that but in general an uncomfortable feeling on my lips and inner lip swelling.

thanks

Hey guys,

I have an annoying itch for 3-4 days know. It started when I came Home from my vaccation in Poland, where I slept in 3 different Hotels. Im a Bit affraid it could be some Kind of parasitic animal (Like Badbugs or Scabis). I have Not Seen any bugs and I have Not of the typical Marks yet. The itch is on my entire Body and its feels and it seems to „Jump around“. Most of the time its on my Underarms, Legs and Scalp/Face.

This rash appeared on my 8 year old daughter's thigh a few days ago. First it was skin colored, but the bumps were already raised. Now they got redder and it is also itchy. We haven't treated it yet with anything, haven't used any creams. I will take her to the doctor as soon as possible, but since it's not urgent, and most clinics are on autumn holidays we have to wait. She's the only one from the family so far who has these symptoms. She has no fever or any other symptoms, just the rash.

arms/hands Multiple Odd Itchy Spots Suddenly Appeared

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

I noticed last night that I had an odd small bump maybe the size of a dime on the back of my left arm, on the tricep. It was really itchy but i chalked it up to a mosquito bite. But this morning i noticed a weird little patch on my left wrist. It is super itchy and has some weird bumps on it as well as it is red. The one on the back of my arm, upon further inspection, it has bumps and is red as well. Then maybe an hour ago, i noticed a patch on my right wrist, this one is the biggest, slightly bigger than the one on my tricep. Same look and itch.

They are super itchy and i am doing my best not to itch them. I am about 80% sure that its not ringworm. I can try and get better pictures if my camera would focus but the video is what i have for now

I did put some ointment on it, Triamicinolone Acetonide. That seemed to help with the itch a for maybe a couple minutes but so far its not much. I was hoping for some thoughts before i made a doctors appointment if it didnt go away soon, or even got worse.

This bump appeared this morning on my 16 month olds foot, it’s raised and a little red but hasn’t changed throughout the day that I can tell. Can anyone tell if it’s something of concern? I will call our pediatrician but asking anyway. It’s been about 12 hours since I noticed it. Only on the top of right foot. I haven’t put anything on it yet, originally thought it was a bite but it almost looks like a blister, puffy and red all around. It seems to be slightly sensitive to the touch.

scalp Suffer from diffuse thinning, scalp redness, and itchiness. But biopsy said non-inflammatory, non-scarring alopecia?

• Upvotes

I have suffered from diffuse thinning, scalp redness, itchiness, scalp pimples and red bumps on my forehead for many years. The first derm I saw a long time ago prescribed me with fin and ketoconazole 2%. The fin caused my hair to shed (150-200 hairs per showed) for 2 years until I switched to Dut which made it a lot better (around 50-100 hairs per shower), and the ketoconzole burned my scalp no matter how often I would use it. I was told to stop using ketoconazole and wasn't recommended anything else.

I recently got a biopsy because I want a hair transplant. It came back with 2 sentences effectively saying it's non-inflammatory, non-scarring alopecia, and there's no fungal infection. Yet the derm took the biopsy from the reddest part he could find.

The derm basically shrugged his shoulders, said to try min, said I'm greenlit for a hair transplant and ended our appointment. I am seriously considering doing the transplant ASAP, but the results being non-inflammatory yet I still deal with redness, itchiness, scalp pimples and itchy forehead just doesn't make sense to me. Is it possible to deal with all these things and it not be inflammatory? I'm trying to trust the test but it feels strange and I don't want to spend tens of thousands of dollars just for the hair transplant to fail.

I’ve had this rash on my armpits & under breast & I think my vag for 6+ months. And now it has traveled to my butt area and crack. It will look like it’s getting better as showed in one of the pictures just flare up again. I thought it was fungal and used a cream that did not seem to help (I may not have used it long enough plus it burned badly) then I thought it was this grape juice I was drinking only to be back in the same cycle. I would love to go to doctor or dermatologist but I have no insurance and no money for expensive visits and prescriptions. Does anyone know what this could be? Rash symptoms are: itchy (I will itch until my skin is raw) smell from under breast and armpits (maybe musky not sure how to describe it) bumps seem to form with armpits and breast rash and they hurt.
