Question 1

i have bumps on my face that look like pimples but are not and they hurt?

Accepted Answer

May not be acne: Bumps on the face that hurt may be deeper-than-average acne bumps. A dermatologist can help treat them. If they are not acne, and don't come to the surface and break open to drain themselves, then the dermatologist will also be very helpful. Sometimes the doctor can open a bump to see what is inside.

Question 2

i have a bump on my the side of my face and it feels like a pimple but it doesn't look like on. when i try to pop it, it hurts a lot and bleeds?

Accepted Answer

Lesion face: Best to see Dermatologist or your Primary MD to evaluate. Cystic lesion vs nevus vs pimple...

Question 3

i have 3 pimple like bumps on my labia minora they all look like a zit with a white head i thought it might be herpes, im really concerned. they dont itch no pain when urinating or otherwise , just hurts when i wipe when using the bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Maybe herpes: From your description, this could well be herpes. Not all herpes outbreaks are painful or itchy. See a doctor ASAP: testing is the only way to know for sure, and PCR or culture test for herpes is most accurate when done with 2-3 days of onset, and any more than 4-5 days often is too late. Good luck.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Without: visualizing these lesions and taking a history - there is no way for us to diagnose them.

Question 5

my son is 10 months old and has red bumps all over his face some look like they are pimples. told it was eczema but i'm not so sure. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Infant skin rashes: Skin rashes need to be looked at to get proper diagnosis and treatment. If you were told by your son's pediatrician that it is eczema, it is likely that it's the case. Eczema is one of the most common cause of itchy skin rashes in infants.

Question 6

there are two or three pimple like bumps that have popped up on the top of my head. they are really hard? what is this? they don't hurt.

Accepted Answer

Scalp?: If on the scalp, they're probably sebaceous cysts. If on the forehead, could be acne or warts.  See your doctor to get it taken care of.

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Rash: It sounds like you may have Polymorphous Light Eruption (PMLE), however it would be a good idea to rule out Lupus Erythematosus. You should visit a Dermatologist if it is continuing to occur.

Question 9

what do little white bumps that look like white head pimples on my leg mean?

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 10

Accepted Answer

There : There is a possibility that she could have molluscum contagiousum which is caused by a wart like virus.  They look like little red or flesh colored bumps with a small hole in the middle that occasionally has a white, thick discharge.  It commonly affects children and usually goes away within a year without treatment.  Picking or squeezing them can cause spreading and/or an infection, so it is not advised.  Below i've attached a website with more information about them.

If the spots start to develop on her face, appear to be infected, seem to be worsening, or if you think they are not molluscum, then give her doctor a call.  Good luck!
