Avatar m tn Hello, I am wondering if I could get an opinion on a spot on my back, I assume the area of this spot to be a case of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my back (I believe it was a large pimple or boil at one point) but I am a little concerned because there are two small maybe less than 1mm (or just about) darkish brown specks or tiny moles (not elevated, seem symmetrical oval-like) inside the area of pigmentation (very lightly shaded area about the size of an eraser, no solid borders, doesn&
Avatar n tn I have cyst l like acne on my inner thigh , under breast , and under arm pits sometimes they have puss in them and sometimes they dry out.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience cyst-like ingrown hairs on my inner thighs, even in the absence of hair removal procedures. It looks similar to cystic acne, though not as painful (except to look at). What are the best ways to prevent ingrown hairs? And, what can I do to treat ingrown hairs when I do get them?? Thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn I know that I have the HSV-1, because I've had it since I was a kid. Well, at the beginning of my pregnancy, a cold sore popped up. About a day before it popped up, I had given oral sex to my boyfriend. It's been about 8 months since then, and 2 small bumps popped up on his penis a couple days ago. We aren't sure what they are, but thinking back about the cold sore, I could have given it to him. Anyways, the bumps don't look like the pictures I see online.
Avatar f tn One of them is not visible in the picture. They almost look like acne in the picture, but they do not in real life. They are more...er...flush with the skin? I don't know how to explain this, but it is not acne nor does it resemble acne. Anyway, thanks!
Avatar f tn it does sound like you are pregnant. i have an ovarian cyst and i fopund out on the net that the symptoms are close to that of pregnancy (even swollen breast) i thought i might have been pregnant also but found the cyst in an ultrasound. i have also heard in rare cases that a hpt gives false positive. im not sure what the cost of an ultrasound or blood test but i would ask for one or both.
Avatar m tn s just the problem, i have no idea what it is. i cannot seem to find an image online that matches it. I had one on my inner thigh just like it before. This one is located on my pelvic area. It reaches deep into the skin, not pop-able really. When squeezed, some blood comes out. This is minimal and the pain does not allow for much more squeezing. It is not smooth, it makes the pores look massive. Fairly painful to the touch. It is mostly red but at times i'd say its purplish.
Avatar f tn I just went and got a pap done yesterday and i told my GYN about some bumps/cyst i have on my vagina that come and go every once and a while and he told me not to worry about it because its like acne on your face but its down there. I've never heard of having acne down there. But anyway, sometimes these bumps get so big they hurt and some even pop and puss comes out. I don't know if i should be worried or if i should look for another Doctor.

It is actually darker and more bruise like than the photo. It has always been painful. A sharp stabbing pain under pressure. In the past three days the pain is fairly constant without it being touch it's not a dull ache. The spot has also become warmer than the rest of my skin. When pressed it feels like a fluid filled blister under the skin.
Avatar f tn Went ahead and made an appt for tomorrow afternoon. It seems to look more like a bullseye now maybe? http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o767/anonymous4488/tick%20bite/064_zps97b2ea9c.
Avatar f tn So, I had to fill out a questionaire with a million questions before I see an RE at the end of the month. One of the questions was about acne, and whether I have it or not. What does having acne mean? (I've heard getting acne can be a sign of something, I just can't remember what) Lately, I've been having so many breakouts, and today noticed I had some back acne. Gross! I never had acne before.
Avatar n tn I had a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound recently after complaining of frequent urination and feeling like my bladder never empties completely. When I look at the screen during an ultrasound, no matter what it looks to me like nothing but a black and gray screen. I can never make out images. I guess maybe I'm radiology-blind or something, lol.
