neck

7666721 tn?1393887830 They started with one large boil-like lesion on my neck back in January, which eventually drained and then lesions began popping up all over my neck and surrounding areas. The lesions do not resemble any sort of pimple I have ever gotten and then seem to never come to a head. Some are more red and inflamed than others. They sometimes itch. I have several photos but I'm not sure how to attach those to this inquiry. Please help.

Avatar f tn Hello, I noticed these red spots on my scalp today, they are pretty bright red with darker edges. I looked up and looked at pictures of ringworm and squamous and basal skin cancer and mine seem to be redder than those. Could you have a look and give me your opinion please? I'm very grateful. Thank you. I also have more photos if you'd like to see them.
Avatar n tn I have a hard, non-tender lump on the right side of the back of my head down towards my neck. I noticed it in undergrad (4 years ago) and they took blood work. The NP said that my white count (i think) was slightly elevated, and that i probably had a virus lingering around, which would explain the swollen lymph node on the back of my head. It has never gone away. It has been there at least 4 years now. I have lately been SUPER fatigued.
Avatar m tn Whereas in the past, the “face” of head and neck cancer was a man in his 60s with a history of heavy smoking and alcohol consumption, the men diagnosed with HPV oropharyngeal cancer do not smoke heavily and may still be in their 50s or younger, although older men are also affected. Dr. Wirth explains that HPV cancers show a specific pattern as to where they arise.
Avatar n tn I have a big head, 26 inches circumference, and it has some kind of symmetrical holes on the sides, and I'm now 20 years old. Is it possible that this is hydrocephalus? I have photos of me since I was a child, and it has always been the same, my mom told me that I was born this way. The photos are pretty scaring, because they look like these children with hydrocephalus. Not that much though.
Avatar n tn The general term used for babies who can not hold their head up well is head lag. At birth, all babies have head lag. Some control over head movement is reached by 8 weeks so that head lag lessens. By the age of 4-6 months, most babies should be able to hold their head up when pulled by their arms to a seated position. However, there is of course some variation between infants, and some may hold their head up earlier and some a little later.
Avatar f tn Mostly it occurs after some viral infection, any neurological disorder, and head injury or in cancer. Other symptoms could be pain in jaw of the affected side, drooling of saliva, dropping of eyelid, ringing in the ear, headache, decreased sense of taste, difficulty with speech, and problems eating and drinking.
Avatar f tn Hi all, Has anyone ever heard of breast cancer (IBC or other) spreading up the neck to cause neck, ear, and head pain on that side? I have a swollen axillary node and pain in my breast and up my neck to my ear and head and nobody can figure it out, even breast specialists. Does this sound famiiar to anyone? Thanks so much for any info.
6559066 tn?1382412754 Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination,but it can be due to Acne keloidalis nuchae. It occurs when hairs on the back of the head and neck grow into the skin, become inflamed, and cause scar tissue. These ingrown hairs usually occur following a short haircut on the back of the head and nape of the neck. Treatment of AKN includes suppression of the inflammation with antibiotics and steroid gels or intralesional steroid injections.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed anti-depressents which calmed me but the headaches continued. I was then sent for a MRI head and neck scan without dye which came back clear. I have also had a ct scan of bowel and several other tests which again have been ok. I am now feeling sick but my GP will not send me for any more tests. I have a fear of cancer after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer ten years ago which turned out to be a complete mistake.
Avatar n tn Lymph nodes enlarge when there is an infection. The head and neck area have an extensive network of lymph nodes. These lymph nodes function like a filter, and thus increase in size in the presence of infection to filter out organisms. Even with treatment, some lymph nodes remain enlarged. A recurrent infection would further increase the size of the lymph node. However, there are other conditions that can present with lymph node enlargement. Head and neck malignancy is an example.
Avatar f tn You raise a great question, but the jury is still out on this issue. The effects of cellphone radiation on head and neck tumors has not been shown but also not been extensively studied." to my follow up question re 'can we test for this' and could there be a relation to the head jerking, he said: "There's no way to test for this, and I certainly don't think it has any relation to your head jerking." how would you feel?
Avatar f tn That said, I have seen online photos of Louse excrement and of the louse itself, and this looks nothing like it. I have recently dyed my hair black, so is it possible that the hair dye is coming off on the comb? I am terrified and am close to shaving off all my hair. I suppose I just want to make sure that this is not just my OCD convincing me that this is lice..
Avatar m tn ve had this for quite a while now. I have looked at many std photos and have not found any photos that resemble the symptoms i have Any ideas would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn My son came home over a week ago with a lymph node under his jaw. Then next day, there was one on the other side, and one under his chin. I took him to the doctor, he's 15 by the way. Doctor was suspect it was a reaction to his braces irritating the jaw. Ortho took his braces off, and gave him invisiline just to be sure. He did X-rays, no infections. No fever. No response to antibiotics. No aching, nothing except massively swelling lymph nodes, super sore to the touch.

The foot showed unusually abnormal atypical and may have to go deeper and wider but the foot was not spitz like she first thought so they sent it off to another lab and waiting for their report and then it will be finalized. What else could it be on a 14 year old boy? Ugh my nerves are tore up! Its been 3 weeks this wed since biopsy.
