Question 1

just got hard itchy lumps in my armpits. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Deodorant?: The antiperspirant as well as the perfume can cause dermatitis at the armpits. Consult a dermatologist to check this out. May try topical Hydrocortisone to reduce the discomfort in the meanwhile.

Question 2

i have itchy hard uncomfortable lumps on my head  what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Hard lumps on head : It could be a few different things but folliculitis comes to mind, which is like acne involving the hair follicle.  But with examination or a picture it's hard to say.  Please get it checked out.

Question 3

i have a cluster of hard white lumps on my heels which can be very very itchy?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: One look from your doctor could help a lot in figuring out what is going on. Itchy white patches, and "lumps" on heels might be a corn, or a type of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), or even less common condition known as dyshydrotic eczema.

Question 4

i have a hard red itchy lump in the middle of my upper back what could this be?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 5

i have a hard itchy lump on the inside of my ankle. it's been there for a few years. it's slightly red, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Many many things: i would get it checked out by dermatologist , it could just be scar tissue like a dermatofibroma, but a  dermatologist will know for sure

Question 6

See a doctor : Large lumps that occur suddenly always should be checked out by a doctor. Most "lumps" are not serious but some are. Your doctor will determine if further tests are needed.

Question 7

Question 8

i have a pea sized hard, painful to the touch lump on the very upper tip of my inner labia. it isn't itchy and is almost circular. what could it be?

Cannot diagnose: Without seeing this speculation is useless. If it continues to bother you go and see a gynecologist and get examined.  Good luck.

Question 9

woke up yesterday with hard smooth lump in left side of my neck. today left side of my neck feels kind of stiff, sore and itchy. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Neck lump: This may be an enlarged lymph node which is a response to some irritation or skin inflammation possibly from cosmetics, jewellery,clothing,etc. It could also have been due to an insect bite. If the redness is not severe, try applying a cortisone type cream. If redness worsens, if the lump doesn't recede or if new ones appear, see your physician for evaluation.

Question 10

i have reoccurring hard, painful lumps under my skin on a few fingers and toes for the last year.  they are not itchy and about 0.5-1 cm in diameter. ?

Accepted Answer

It could just be: scar or fibrous tissue, cyst,viral infection etc. Your primary Dr or Dermatologist can give you a definitive diagnosis. Best wishes!
