Common Questions and Answers about White skin lesion

So let me get this correct- You cannot pick off a melanoma lesion. So therefore, being that my lesion is healing (looking better) there is almost no chance that it is a melanoma. I just really want to get this off my mind and enjoy the winter holidays. I plan to keep a calm eye on the lesion to see if there are any changes. If it appears dark and raised again, then I plan to revisit the derm.
Hi,
This could be milia which are common benign skin findings. These are formed when skin remains trapped in a pocket on the surface of the skin. It can develop on the sun-damaged skin of middle-aged and older people. Primary milia found in infants tend to heal on their own within several weeks, though the secondary milia found in adults tend to persist. It is best that you have this evaluated by your dermatologist for proper management.
Hi I have read that herpes can increase risk of HIV transmission due to white blood cells accumulating at the sore if it was on the scrotum, since the immune system is trying to heal the sore. My question is: are there any other non-std related scrotal lesions that carry this property of accumulating white blood cells? Such as a type of pimple or bump or even scrotal cut?
I have had a small skin growth/lesion that has been slowly growing on my skin for approx. 8 months now. At first it appeared as a small bump, I assumed this was a blemish or a pimple so i began to pick at it for a few weeks. the skin beneath the small crust was hard and felt like a bump. I continued to try to 'cure' the problem by picking it and then cleaning the wound.
t too concerned at first because i have quite a tight foreskin and thought that the skin might just have been dry or could have scarred slightly, and presumed that it would just clear up itself. Two months on though and the lesion has not cleared up, nor has it got bigger. As i said the lesion runs in a near straight line right next to the frenulum ligament? that connects the foreskin to the head, and is a little less than a centimetre in length.
There is no clusters, and there very tiny with a white head or white top. When i pop them they have a small hard white ball that comes out and then they bleed. They do not form and eventually pop and ulcer and scab over like hepres on there own unless i physically pop them. They do not itch or burn, or hurt or have any feeling. I have maybe had about 5 of them. Any ideas about what this may be ??
ll start here. Occasionally, I get a lesion on the inside of my upper thigh. I know one has appeared because it is sensitive to touch. "Annoying" is the degree of sensitivity. The lesion will be anywhere from 4 to 7 mm (estimated) and pink. I have tried covering it with a bandaid. This stops the annoying aspect as nothing rubs across it. After a day or so, a whitish spot develops in the center. At some point, it must open and then drains. I have also tried using a lancet.
Opinion on the white area
I have never seen a HSV lesion appear as a white spot. Healing lesions might have white exudate as part of the healing process but what you describe does not sound like that.
2. Can herpes ever have hair growing out of it, or will the virus cause the hair to fall out from killing skin cells
Not typically.
3. How good are blood tests for both types
They are not perfect but they are good. Interpretation is situation specific.
I have what are very typical symptoms of molluscum. White dome shaped lesion, circular and when inflamed or irrtated give out a waxy discharge which can be squeezed out very similar to a pimple. They are present on my scrotum. My dermatologist excised one of these and got it tested. The result read "domed shaped lesion with prominent papillomatosis." and the dermatologist kept calling it papillomatosis. Is that another name for Molluscum or is it HPV?
I do not recall having any flaking skin, ulcerative lesion, other discoloration, injury, or other incident where the lesion is. It seems to have come on spontaneously. Friction from sexual activity would be a likely culprit, however the lesion has persisted for months and there was no one sexual incident I could point to that would be the root cause.
I developed a curious lone papular lesion almost centered on my upper lip at the point where my lips meet. It is penundulated, round and smooth on the top, flesh coloured with a slight white tone because of the thicker layers of keratin at the top. Probably less than 1/2 mm wide but it seems to be growing very slowly, barely noticeable due to its position on the lip line. I have just come back from my GP and he diagnosed it as a polypoid mucosal lesion. He was sure it was not a wart.
May be pityriasis rosea or viral rash.
Hello Doctor,
On 9/14 and 9/24 I engaged in vaginal sex (wearing a condom) with two partners of unknown STD status.
On 9/26 my hand brushed against what felt like a scab in the hair bearing area 1-inch above my penis shaft. Upon closer examination, I touched the scab and it fell off, revealing a small lesion. The lesion seemed to have a little "crater" shape indentation in the center. I did not detect any fluid or discharge. The lesion was painless and was not particularly itchy.
I continued to masturbate throught the weekend and by the following monday (this week) my shaft developed some raw spots (the skin may be split, but there is not mucus, pus, and very little if any discoloration). In the area of the raw spots the skin started to swell. Back to whitehead-it has continued to diminish in size like any normal pimple, became a red bump and had a tiny red spot where the white part was-its almost gone now (thursday).
However, I noticed a dark brown spot in the middle (small about the size of a sharpened pencil) with a white circle(some redness)around that with some discoloration of the skin around the white circle. Also the bump seemed to have gone down. Well,I picked it again and picked off the brown dot. It scabbed and was red again. Now the redness is gone and the skin just appears dry and discolored (which I assume is from picking and squeezing it).

id be thank ful if any 1 can help me i did post a comment on here about a month ago but no 1 replied
I'm 32 years old. as far as I can remember, I've always noticed that a white stuff accumulates around my clitoris under the hood and also around my vagina, specially under the folds. my discarge is never smelly but this white layer around my clitors has bad smell. makes my vagina smell too. I clean 3 times per day but it still keeps accumulating althroughout the day. it won't go away just by washing. I actually have to rub it off ..sticks to my skin like glue.
The actual lesion just looks like red, irritated skin, and the normal/unaffected skin surrounding it is a bit red/inflamed. It is not painful, there's no burn, etc.
I have had this for 8 days now. It first appeared after having oral sex -- there was a tear in the skin, and this tear is what is infected. The day after the skin was slightly swollen and a bit painful, both of these went away after about 2 days. But the site of the tear with this "lesion" is still there.
