Do I have a degenerating Lipoma on my belly?

Patient's Query

I'm 39 from Nigeria. I have a black, cone-like lump on the upper left side of my belly. It started as small bump some years back but with time developed to 2cm in diameter. It's very hard. I feel pain around it each time I'm nervous and itchy sometimes. I have had scan conducted but didn't reveal exactly what it's.. it suggested that Stony bump appears like degenerating Lipoma. .

Answered by Dr. Ishmeet Kaur

This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.

How do I get rid of purple stretch marks on bum.

Female | 14

Stretch marks on the­ bum are pretty normal. They happe­n when skin expands rapidly, like during pube­rty, pregnancy, or weight gain. Basically, the marks form whe­n deeper laye­rs tear. To reduce the­ir appearance, moisturize re­gularly with retinol or hyaluronic acid products. Proper nutrition and hydration can lend a hand too. Ke­ep in mind, fading takes time, so stick with the­ routine patiently. The marks look purple­ at first, but gradually lighten over months.

I suggest that you go to a dermatologist to have a thorough examination of your mole. One should make sure that other serious conditions are not the cause, such as skin cancer or infection.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?

Male | 21

One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

some allergy suddenly arised from my body it caused my finger and arm swallow

Female | 17

When certain allergies occur, body parts tend to swell. This might have been caused by contact with something like a plant or chemical that does not agree with you. Ensure the affected area is washed properly. To reduce the swelling, you can use an antihistamine. Seek immediate medical attention if things get worse or if you find it hard to breathe.

Salmon patches on her face from her birth so i m worried about and how its solve problem

Female | 3months

Those light pink or red patches on your baby's face which are also known as salmon patches are quite common and usually nothing for parents to panic about. They occur when small blood vessels are near the skin. No need for treatment as they usually disappear on their own by the time the child is 1 to 2 years. Simply keep the area clean and protect against direct sunlight.

Hello, I want to know how to remove spots on baby skin that are light brown in color. The baby is a one-year-old boy.

Male | 1

The spots may be of different types in babies. Specially light brown spots over the back or the buttocks which is called as Mongolian Spots tries to fade with time and age. If the spots persists after 10-18 yrs of age that can be treated with Q-switch Nd YAG laser but nothing can be done at this age

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply

Female | 49

Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

I am 34 yrs old female and I have acne and acne marks problem on my face - recently my face has been very dry and acne is coming also I have tight white pores issue which is making my skin look very dull and uneven.

Female | 34

As you are 34 years old, there might be some hormonal issues leading to acne. Consult local dermatologist for treatment who might prescribe you some topical antibiotics benzoyl peroxide or daplin or oral drugs depending upon the situation. It is advisable to use moisturizers, particularly water-based that do not uproot the pores because medication usage might result in dryness and little irritation. Your Skin will be much better after the treatment for Acne.

I am 30 year old male and my face cover is dark spots that is called acne Used some medicine one year ago but no any positive results I need help you

Male | 30

There are a few options that you could try. First, it may help if you switch up your skincare routine. Make sure you are using gentle cleansers and moisturizers that are suitable for your skin type. You may also want to look into products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which can help reduce inflammation and clear up acne. Additionally, you may consult with a dermatologist to discuss further treatment options. They may be able to recommend a prescription topical treatment or a course of antibiotics that could help clear up your acne.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change

Female | 24

The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.
