Question 1

my baby has a few groups of red pimple like bumps on face? what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Baby acne, contact: Without knowing more about the age of your baby and exactly how the rash looks,  is difficult to say for sure. If baby under 3 months old, is likely it is "baby acne", a normal newborn condition where the changes in hormone levels in the newborn cause the glands to secrete and cause pimples. If more a rough/red sensitive rash, could be soaps or irritants baby's cheeks are coming into contact with.

Question 2

my baby has red bumps all over face and body, they look like pimples. he is 8 weeks old. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Newborn acne: Newborns develop baby acne around 2 weeks of age and it peaks around 6 weeks, usually gone by 12.  If your baby is in this age group, it could be newborn acne.  Your baby's pores are sensitive to changes in hormone levels(just like during the teen years) - so all those Estrogens they were exposed to during pregnancy are suddently gone - and boom - breakout!no treatment needed - be patient.

Question 3

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 4

age: 24

small red bump formed near temple a few days ago. stayed the same size, maybe shrunk. not painful much at all. thought it was a pimple but doesnt seem to have a head. should i be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

: Nothing to concern, it will go away in 3-5 days.

Question 5

what can cause acne, pimple and red tiny bumps on my face?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things: Although acne is known to be more common in teenage years, it does occur in older age groups as well. A wide vatiety of thing may contribute like cosmetics, physical, emotional or even environmental stress.

Question 6

what can i do about red bumps that aren't pimples on my face?

Accepted Answer

Facial Examination: I wish i could see you in person but the first things that come to mind are seborrheic dermatitis or even heat rashes or freckles. I also suspect that these could be tiny capillary hemangiomas or spider nevi. See a cosmetic dermatologist if you are so concerned.

Question 7

red bumps on face worse when i am hot.  they don't itch and they are not pimples they are mostly on my checks. ?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea : Is likely. See your doctor for to get prescribed topical medications ANS to learn about triggers.

Question 8

very big red bump in groin area. there is no head (like a pimple) been there for a week. what could it be and what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Assuming the bump is painful, it is likely a cyst which is a fluid filled bump below the skin.  It could also be an early abcess, which is an infected collection of pus below the skin, like a pimple but more painful and larger.  Either can be a consequence of shaving in the genital region.  Don't squeeze or pop it!  i recommend seeing your doctor asap to see if it needs to be drained.

Question 9

i went to a hotel pool, woke up the next day my face is entirely covered in small bumps and a couple pimples. it's red and irritated and itchy?

Accepted Answer

Rashes and bumps: Bumps are notoriously difficult to diagnose here .  Consider reactions to sun, sunscreen, chlorine, sun-triggered reactions to things you are otherwise fine with.  Any fever, sore throat, swollen glands?  Try cool compresses, avoid lotions and stay out of the sun until better.  Iced tea and shade?

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Red bump: Would be best to get it examined to know what it is.
