Question 1

i have a small flesh coloured lump on my nose which has stayed the same for 6 years. what could ot be?

Accepted Answer

??mole or skintag ??: Sounds like it could be a mole or a skin tag. If it is been there for several years it is probably benign. I would have your family doctor check it out. Especially if there been any changes recently… Color, size, itching, bleeding

Question 2

i woke up monday morning with a flesh coloured lump on my anus. after some reading i suspect it to be a haemorrhoid but i am not sure. it is about 10-15mm long. quite painful to walk or sit. never had something like this. 
please help. :-( ?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: If it persists will need to be evaluated by a doctor. Suggest either colo-rectal surgeon, or gastroenterologist

Question 3

so i have noticed a small pea sized flesh coloured lump on my anterior tonsillar pillar close to my tongue, its not sore, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Tonsils: A non-painful, non symptomatic lump is usually nothing to worry about. I would have your GP check for tonsillar crypts etc... This could be  a manifestation of past tonsillitis with scarring

Question 4

a sore flesh coloured lump.about the size of a finger nail has reoccurred on my upper thigh. it is moist and peeling. could it be herpes?

Accepted Answer

Likely a wart: This is not herpes. If you have a photo -you could show that to a HealthTap doctor or even go see a doctor in the office, I'm sure they could tell you what it is. If you see a doctor in the office, they may even be able to take care of it then and there with cryotherapy for example. Herpes is painful and is characterized by red blister like rashes. It would be good to get more info about your case

Question 5

i have a flesh coloured lump on my left tonsil. my lymph nodes are slightly up on that side and are painful. the inside of my ear hurts. i'm terrified i have tonsil cancer. (hypochondriac here). i had the hpv vaccine, yet i was diagnosed with hpv. ?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: Throat symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can lessen pain.

Question 6

how to remove lumps of painless flesh on the frenulum?

Accepted Answer

Frenulum: In your mouth or on your penis?  If mouth - see your dentist. If penis - see your urologist.

Question 7

i have a cluster of flesh coloured lumps bottom end, upper-left side of my penis shaft. i have tried freezing them off but they don't disappear fully.

Accepted Answer

Stop freezing: They are most likely HAIR FOLLICLES and are in the layer BELOW the epidermis!  THEY ARE NORMAL..but if they "bother" you see a Dermatologist!
Hope this helps

Question 8

i have the odd few flesh coloured lumps on my face that when squeezed white stringey stuff comes out but fills up again. nothing gets rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Epidermal cyst: If its a classic pimple, then after squeezing it it should not really accumulate.  If it keeps accumulating it could be an epidermal inclusion cyst.  I would check with a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon and have them take a look at it.  In the meantime, don't squeeze it and use warm compress instead

Question 9

my shaft has lumps of tissue. is there any way to fix this?

Accepted Answer

Different options: The penis has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it.  Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as fatty tissue, connective tissue, scars and other things. Is the lump growing, inflamed, painful, painless, draining, recurrent or constant, moveable or fixed...?  Each of these (and many more) will provide your doc the answers as to what it is and what needs to be done.

Question 10

what is fatty tissue supposed to feel like? i can feel lots of small "fat" lumps underneath my skin in particularly fatty areas when i press down.

Accepted Answer

Lipoma: These subcutaneous lumps may be lipomata which are benign growths of fatty tissue. To be sure,however, a physician would have to examine you.
