Question 1

my 3 yo got a bug bite a week ago. all that's left is two small red dots flush to the skin. should i be concerned? no redness around them.

Accepted Answer

Bug Bites: Although bug bites can be dramatic and even hurt when you get bit, most heal well as you describe.  You have looked for all the concerns  that would signal an infection, like surrounding redness or swelling.  It appears that this is healing well and it may take some time for the small red dots to completely resolve.

Question 2

i have slight irritation on the head of my penis, with no redness, and i have also found a small bump on the head that has two small brown dots on it, dont know if i should be concerned or not ? fyi i am a virgin

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: For bumps on the penis, a primary care doctor, a urologist, or a dermatologist can evaluate to see what they might be. Bumps can be trapped skin cells, trapped oily secretions, normal features, warts from HPV, etc...  A close examination should be able to tell if there is a problem or not. A video consultation might not show enough detail to get a diagnosis. An in-person exam works best.

Question 3

mild crps. sympt- burning pain, swelling, redness, red dots on skin, sensitivity.  amitriptyline, physio- referred pain dr. does mild crps worsen?

Accepted Answer

Can be challenging: However, most cases of CRPS encountered in my practice are far from mild.  Have you had a diagnostic sympathetic block to confirm?  Also, amitriptyline is rarely an effective drug in CRPS, and drugs such as Lyrica, Savella, (milnacipran) Cymbalta, work far better.  Please confirm your diagnosis via second opinion.

Question 4

crp after foot fx/orif- burning pain, sensitivity, redness, red dots, dry skin. is crps the only diagnosis or could this be something else?

Accepted Answer

Complex  regional pa: This can occur.  You can get a  second opinion. A good website to look at is which is from the National Institue of Health:
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy/detail_reflex_sympathetic_dystrophy.htm
Treatment  includes medication,physical therapy, nerve blocks to name a few.

Question 5

i am experiencing  skin redness or irritation around my lips after i eat, laugh, even kiss. this redness, when i'm not eating etc, is a brown pigmented line which looks like a distorted lip liner. this started 6 years ago as a small brown dot.

Accepted Answer

Melanin: It is possible that the small brown dot that initially appeared was melanin, the substance that is responsible for pigmentation in the skin and tissues of the body. The melanocytes are cells that produce melanin and some people can have brown pigmentation in the lips, as well as the tissues of the mouth.

Question 6

our baby girl 10 months old she is teetering and she had a bit of redness in her throat, doctor came and gave her a syrup plus panasonic syrup after 3 days daughter have red on her cheeks plus small dots on her face head and back

can you help us pls?

Accepted Answer

Stop treatment: Teething is a normal process and doesn't need medication. A teething ring may help and an occasional dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen). The rash may be a separate problem that should be examined. She may also have had a virus? All the best.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Nothing bad: Depends how ling youve had them. The may be cherry angiomas which are benign.

Question 9
