Why is my mole sore to touch?
I have this mole on my face. I've had it since I was very little. It hasn't grown in size or anything. Nothing has changed but all of a sudden it has started to be sore whenever I touch it. Kind of like a pimple sore. But it's a mole. Anybody know what's going on? I don't know if it's cancer because it hasn't changed in appearance or anything. Just let me know what you think
Is it normal for a wart to turn white when using compound w?
I know a lot of people who have had used, Compound W, it often works (white is normal) or I would just go see the Dermatologist and have it removed he/she might also give you treatment ti attack the virus that causes them.
Why does my pimple hurt?
A pimple is an infection of pores in the skin. Acne bacteria multiply and clog the pore's opening. They continue to multiply within the clogged pore and the pain you feel is the pressure created by the exponential bacterial growth which is stretching the walls of the pore to the breaking point. The ''white dot' you see is called a head. It's literally the buildup of bacteria and puss in your pore. Normally, I'd say leave it alone or you'd make it worse, but at this point your infection is so bad, it's really best to just pop that thing, get all of that puss out of there and clean it up as best you can. Treat it with peroxide too if you've got it. Once you pop it, the pressure will decrease and the pain will subside. And it's my experience that successful acne treatments vary from person to person. It's a trial and error guessing game kinda thing.
I have a pimple? WITH WHITE ON TOP!?
should I pop it? My dermatologist told me never to pop a pimple or any type of acne. Only professionals should do it she said as self-medication can worsen acne. Does Benzoyl Peroxide work? it has yellow on top! and I think it's the puss. I'm too lazy to go to the dermatologist.
Tiny white bump on tip of tongue?
This is probably (transient lingual papillitis, sometimes called "lie bumps". They are very painful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_bumps This isn't likely to be a canker sore; while they can occur on the tongue, they aren't usually tiny. I've had these before, and in my experience you simply have to wait for them to go away. You can use a numbing gel (like baby teething gel), but that tends to numb your entire tongue, which can be unpleasant.
How do you treat a pimple that's under a mole?
Its was a normal mole on the right cheek which was noted as a birthmark for identification, however at the age of 29, i got a pimple under it.As i have a habit of pinching out any mole which rarely appears on my face , and after i squeezed out a brown or black fluid it started to ooze out few drops of blood and then i stopped. I got surprised a bit since the discharge squeezed out was brownish black instead of expected semi- solid white content.After two days, today i plucked off the newly formed debris and a small blackish layer pealed off. Now i am worried whether the birthmark will appear back since it was the identification mark i gave in many places.So i checked in the internet, after one or two sites that gave information about the possiblity of cancerous atypical cells, i got here to hear you all saying the same cancerous nature..now waiting in line to see the doctor...will be continued..
My cat has moles all over her body.?
My cat has moles all over her body, about 10-15 I would say. When you look at them it looks like they are brown and crusty, and if you pick at them, this brown this paste like stuff comes off. There is the one at on her tail that is about the size on a marble. If you touch them, you can tell she doesn't like it because she makes a weird face then starts to lick herself. I'm scared to take her to the vet because my moms friend took hers when it had moles and the vet made her put it down. Does anyone have an idea what this is or what can be applied to them to help them?
After getting some sun, I get these rash-like white spots on my skin?
Sounds like Tinea Versicolor. I get it on my chest and back. They do not tan, they stay whitish and may even turn red. They're roundish and sometimes even flake when provoked. Use Tinactin spray. It works great. If you work out and sweat a lot, you may be more prone to this benign rash. They do come back. But it's NOT cancer.
What would happen if you cut off a mole?
Edit: The photo is an actual melanoma which was later removed from my neck. In actual perspective, it’s about 1/4″ in length; it appeared suddenly and grew dramatically in size. Note the asymetrical shape, common in melanomas.Don’t try this at home. Three years ago I had a dark mole which appeared suddenly on my neck, it had an odd rhomboid shape. I saw a dermatologist and the biopsy showed malignant melanoma. Although this was smaller than a pencil eraser, the surgery to remove it took almost an hour, the incision was three inches long and quite deep. Because of the skill of the surgeon, the scar is virtually invisible today, but it took a couple of months to heal completely.After three years it has not come back and is not likely to, but I still have to visit a dermatologist every six months for a complete body inspection, as melanoma is far more likely to appear elsewhere once it has originally been diagnosed, although not necessarily at the original site.So cutting off a mole yourself might be feasible, but it’s ill advised. If it’s cancerous you may just be helping it to spread. See a dermatologist, they handle moles on a daily basis and can give you proper advice.
Has my freckle turned into cancer?
heey. So, I had this freckle on my upper chest, and it was really dark and I guess it just annoyed me constantly, so I picked it, and I picked it, and it came of. Then it bled for a long time, but it eventually stopped. As it healed I touched it, a lot. Now it looks like a pimple/scar thing. and this happened months ago but it still hurts like hell to touch. Also when I pinch the skin I can feel a small ball directly underneath, and it kills when I do that. I think i'm overreacting. So I don't really want to go to a doctor unless completely nessecary. thankss <3
