Question 1

i have a red bump growing at the side of my toenail. it hurts when i press it! how can i remove it? what is it?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: In order to treat a lesion, you must first know what it is. It could be a corn, a wart or some form of dermatitis or other skin anomaly. See a podiatrist who can diagnose it properly and recommend the correct course of treatment. I do not recommend self-treatment with otc products. Many contain salicylic acid and can cause painful chemical burns.

Question 2

red bump next to vagina kinda far. looks like i cut myself shaving. i have never had sex before. it doesn't hurt or itch. only one bump on right side?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Could be a cyst or other skin irritation.It is hard to tell from your 2 different descriptions of the area.

Question 3

i hit my forehead mildly 24 hours ago soreness and it hurts to touch at the site and a little red bump the side of a pimple, no other symptoms , likely fine?

Accepted Answer

: Agree, as you do not  describe any concerning symptomatology and appears to have been a mild scalp contusion.

Question 4

i have a red bump that looks like a pimple on my left tonsil and it hurts to swallow only on my left side. i've been eating ice cubes to numb it too?

Accepted Answer

Seek help now: Your symptom is concerning for an abscess of the tonsil.   You should see a doctor as soon as possible.  There are some other things it could be, but it needs to get checked out.

Question 5

ok so i kept messing with the ball thing in my nose that keeps moving from one side to other and i finally saw a red bump in left side of nose my upper two teeth also hurt when i bite down and my nose kind of burns when i breathe in?

Accepted Answer

: There is no normal "ball thing" in the nose. Maybe a nasal polyp? An infection (possibly a rather serious one) could be responsible for these symptoms. See your doctor soon, or ask for referral to an otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat specialist, ENT). Good luck.

Question 6

ive go a raised red bump on my face.looks like a swollen pimple.redness has reduced but it has been almost 3 weeks.ive been applying hydro cortisone.on the same side i have a visible swollen gland below my jaw line.not feeling sick though.please help?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: This may have been an inflamed/infected cyst or ingrown hair that has organized into a papule that no longer is inflamed. I recommend having a physician or dermatologist examine and advise you.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: Where is the bump on your body, its shape, size and border?

Question 8

red bump on left side of tounge ...  size hardly 1-2mm. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Bump on tongue: Bumps of unknown origin need to be examined by your doctor.  Please see him/her ASAP.  Hopefully it is minor but if it is not it needs treatment.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

yesterday i woke up with a red bump on my areola that was painful. now i woke up and it still hurts but is red all around it even outside my areola?

Accepted Answer

See physician: This sounds like an infection.  Are you nursing?  Did you scratch your nipple ?  Please see a provider ASAP.  Until then use warm compresses and over the counter or triple antibiotic ointment or anti fungal creme
