Question 1

hello. i have a hard red bump and redness around it, slightly painful on my hard palate. i did eat something hot on saturday. what coukd it be?

Accepted Answer

Palate burn: It sounds like you burned the roof of your mouth, and now it is blistered and inflamed. Ibuprofen and a cool icey beverage may help with symptoms. Most burns or mouth ulcers take 7-14 days to heal and can be quite painful. Sometimes doctors write a "magic mouthwash" with topical viscous lidocaine, prednisolone, etc to help with symptoms. See an ENT or primary doctor if symptoms persist.

Question 2

i haven't had and iv nor blood drawn and all of sudden i have a redness and a small red bump in my inner elbow?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Get this examined by somebody who can see it and assess it.

Question 3

a red bump with hardness underneath and red/black head and redness area.. does that sound like a spider bit? located on thigh

Accepted Answer

Skin infection: did you actually see a spider bite you? If not, the bump you describe is likely an abscess. In any event, it should be evaluated by a physician to determine the appropriate course of treatment (I &amp; D +/- antibiotics).

Question 4

i had unprotected oral sex with a guy and the next day he started having redness of the pee hole, discharge and a red bump inside but no pain..help?

Accepted Answer

Unprotected oral sex: can lead to transmission of STDs. To be safe, schedule an appointment with your doc, describe your partners symptoms &amp; sexual habits, so you can be evaluated for any STDs that may have been passed to you orally. Review safe sex practices.

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 6

painless red bump what is it?

Accepted Answer

Not sure.: There are a # of possible causes. The best way to get an accurate diagnosis would be dermatological evaluation.

Question 7

why do i have a red bump on my pearl tounge?

Accepted Answer

Too vague: Impossible to answer with so little information. See a dentist and have your tongue looked at.

Question 8

i have a red bump on top of my head, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Get it looked at: You might have bumped it or you might have a skin cancer up there, without more information impossible to tell.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Neither do I: Consult your private physician. Could be an abscess, cyst, infection or tumor. Without a photo, impossible to diagnose. Call for an appointment today.

Question 10

red bump with red line extending from it. what's this sound like?

Accepted Answer

Need more info.: Where is it?  Is it itchy or painful?  Is it the only one, or are there more?  How long have you had it?  This would be a good issue for a virtual consult with an uploaded picture for evaluation.
