Question 1

my 5 month old son has pimples around his mouth, buttocks, under his feet and hands. is this a sign of hand, foot and mouth disease?

Accepted Answer

Hand, foot and mouth: Hand foot and mouth disease usually presents with Papular or pustular rash on the lips, palm of hands and sole of feet. There may also be a fever. What is most important is that the same rash usually occurs inside the mouth and back of throat. This prevents adequate intake of fluids which may result in dehydration. If your child is not feeding well, see the Pediatrician.

Question 2

7 yr old had small pimple like on inside of a foot sole for a couple of months not itchy now has 3 on a palm of one hand no other symptoms, what is it?

Accepted Answer

Likely a wart: Warts caused by strains of the verruca vulgaris virus can pup up on many body surfaces and these sound like warts.The plantar wart often is flatter &amp; forms deep in the skin of the bottom of the foot. The ones on his hand sound similar.

Question 3

what are those big black pimples on the bottom of your big toe?

Accepted Answer

I suggest : You see a podiatrist or dermatologist. 
"big black pimples" does not sound like a common skin issue.

Question 4

i have a hard kind of pimple on the bottom of my pinky toe it is skin ...?

Accepted Answer

Several options: Depending on what the pimple or bump looks like, you could have an insect bite of some sort, a cyst, stepped on something. There are a variety of things it could be. If it is painful or creating problems get checked out by a podiatrist. If it is getting bigger or changing colors definitly get checked out.

Question 5

insect bite painful, swollen, has reddish purple color, and is a white pimple- like bump that popped. it is on a toddler's second toe.

Accepted Answer

Insect bite: Is what it sounds like. A small area like a toddlers toe will swell impressive. My favorite treatment for insect/ spider bites is a raw onion... Slice it and rub on the affected bite area tl the juice is dry (a couple minutes). It neutralizes the toxin and reduces swelling. 
If it is painful or getting worse, see your child's doctor.

Question 6

pimple-like eruption on my second toe - synovial fluid? previously treated with steroid injection - it's back - treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: a mucous cyst. These are small cysts over a joint which is filled with synovial or joint fluid. Steroid injections may help. In recurring or painful ones, sometimes surgery which includes addressing the affected joint is necessary. See Podiatrist for examination and discussion.

Question 7

i found a black widow and when i got out of the shower i had a blister pimple like on my toe... it hurts bad... do i need go to the doctor....

Accepted Answer

Spider bite. : A spider bite, if that is what this represents, can lead to a significant bacterial infection which would need to be treated quickly. You should get to the doctor very soon. Like, now.

Question 8

hello. 16 days ago i started taking oral contraceptives (yaz plus). i got tiny red pimples on my toes and on my fingers. looks like an allergy, but i don't recall being allergic to anything! could this be caused by the pill?

Accepted Answer

BCP ?'s: "Yaz plus" or other low dose oral bcp's are not related to skin eruptions described ( "tiny red pimples on toes and fingers").  See your gyn physician for an exam if this persists.

Question 9

i squeezed a tiny transparent pimple on my little toe. white tiny soft ball came out, no white liquid and it bled a bit. what is it? is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Probably a tiny: sebaceous cyst. Not dangerous.

Question 10

i've had a mole on the inside of my big toe for years, a few weeks ago i noticed a hard white pimple under it.  is this something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: I don't take any chances with moles that are changing in ANY way, because of the possible risk of melanoma. So see your clinician please.  It won't hurt meanwhile to soak in warm water 4x daily for 20 minutes.  If it goes away then maybe it was just a pimple!
