Question 1

Accepted Answer

Very possible: If there are bugs in your area.  It is winter here.

Question 2

i just got a hair cut and this small black dot appeared on my forehead idk what it is and my right side of head feeling tense for weeks?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: It would be difficult to determine cause of abnormalities.  The two symptoms may not be related. Make appointmentwith your doctor

Question 3

i also had a small black dot on my tongue.  it was the size of a pin head.  it's gone today.  i don't smoke, drink, use drugs nor have i been ill.?

Accepted Answer

It's gone: That is probably the key - that it's gone.  Bad things don't come and go.  They usually just get bigger or more painful.  If it returns and gets bigger then you should see your family doctor.

Question 4

3 sm flat/raised shiny skin firm bumps back scalp. 2 at exact opp ends of head(right & left), smaller 1" from left bump. left bump black dot middle?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cyst?: A bump with a black dot in the middle is likely a sebaceous cyst. As for the other bumps a photo of them would be helpful. Consider a Virtual consultation on Health Tap where you could upload photos of the area.

Question 5

i've had a black spot on my gum for about 6 months and now it is getting a very small sore about the size of a pin head on it is it cancer?

Accepted Answer

Show it to a Dr: Any black spot that is changing in color or growing in size needs to be checked by a medical or a dental professional(in your case). There is a small but real chance that it could turn into a melanoma, a type of Cancer. So get it checked...you may need a biopsy done if it is growing in size or dimensions.

Question 6

Question 7

i have 3 tiny dots in a triangle shape on my hand about the size of a pen head. each one has a black dot on the top. they hurt. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Tricky: dermatologic conditions are difficult to evaluat wtihout seeing them. One possibility is an infection. If it is spreading that is a serious condition needing treatment. There are many other possibilities such as age spot, tumor, scabs, etc.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Black freckle: If this is new probably worth getting checked by your doctor.

Question 9

i contracted herpes hsv 1 from a sexworker 17 years back . after the sex i develop small bumps one head of the penis which itches. for last two years?

Accepted Answer

Details matter: Hsv 1 on face??? or genital? How do you know the source? Was it cultured? Treated? Now you have something else not related to hsv. A clue is "after the sex"........what kind of sex? Condom? Lubricant or other material used by either participant? Since it appears only after sex it is not related to foreskin. Consider an irritation or allergy related to something used during sex or used by another p

Question 10

help, i have black dot on rim of penis head?

Accepted Answer

Likely, just a varix: Likely, the black dot is just an harmless varix, which requires no Rx as long as being painless and no change in size over time. Of course, without a detailed Hx with sequence of event and a direct look, it's hard to come up an accurate Dx as wished. So, see Doc timely if still in doubt. Best wish ...
