Question 1

i have these things like little sores that come on my lower back and they are bubbled up when they go away they leave a scar what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: Sores on the skin are related to acne vulgarism, usually related to hormones, or follicular infections, which may leave a scar.  Some of these infections are due to mrsa, a more aggressive form of staph infection.  A culture of an active infection would be good, and your physician could treat you with an antibiotic based on that culture. Acne and folliculitis are both treatable.

Question 2

if my healing scar is bubbling up, what can i do?

Accepted Answer

See your surgeon: Any injury to the skin,  whether accidental or surgical (a controlled "injury") will lead to some scarring. The quality of the scar depends on many factors including the cause, the treatment and host factors. A "bubbling up" scar is described as "hypertrophic" and can be improved by early treatments as with  topical scar creams, cortisone and certain lasers.  See your physician for advice.

Question 3

my cartigle  percing  caused scar tiusse to form looks like a bubble . i got told tree tea oil will heal it. should i take out my earring to heal ?

Accepted Answer

Remove the ear ring: It sounds like you have developed a "keloid" type scar from the piercing.  The scar tissue may resolve by removing the ear ring but you may need a small steroid injection into the site if it doesn't resolve with ear ring removal.

Question 4

i had a pimple i popped then it formed a puss bubble. i popped it again and it left a dark spot and the pimple spread twice on tummy one left scar?

Accepted Answer

Post-inflamatory: After any irritation or injury there may be color changes and scars. They will be less conspicuous with time: months to years. See a dermatologist if you want help to stop the pimples or reduce the pigment changes.

Question 5

could my knee have possible scar tissue left from when i broke it 13 years ago.... my knee keeps popping when i run and then gets a bubble of fluid ?

Accepted Answer

Orthopedic surgeon: There could be a problem with ligament,tendon,cartilage,etc. An orthopedic surgeon would be best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Question 6

i'm having a hypertrophic scar removed from my nose piercing soon, if i put the ring back in, will the scar tissue build up and make another bubble?

Accepted Answer

Keloid: You may be more prone to abnormal scarring and i would not recommend repiercing  the area. Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.

Question 7

second degree sunburn with bubbles all over my front legs- how long 2 heal? the skin will be normal as before? any scars? any risk for skin cancer?

Accepted Answer

Keep clean and moist: If healing occurs within 10 days and additional sun or injury or infection is avoided, then it is unlikely that scarring will occur. However this is no guarantee. Yes there is a risk of ski cancer but the risk is difficult to quantify.

Question 8

heart surgery 2014. recent surgery to remove scar tissue left lung. one-week later repeat surgery to stop artery bleed l-lung. 2-liter clot. now large bubbles from the bottom of left lung to top. med pain. bubbles on exertion or moving?

Accepted Answer

: There is an association with pneumothorax and a bubbling sensation. A chest CT is recommended. Your physician may elect to obtain a chest x ray initially. Watch for shortness of breath, chest pain and nausea.  Other causes include GI upset.

Question 9

does kprf leave scars?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: Keratosis pilaris rubra faceii involves excess keratin production (small bumps) on the face which is often inflamed, causing the redness.  Since it generally does not involve infection, it usually does not leave scars unless someone picks at the bumps.  If it is irritating you enough that you are picking, seek help from your dermatologist.  If it scars, you need to see derm to r/o something else.
