Question 1

why do i have small brown spots on the roof of my mouth and the inside on my cheek?

Accepted Answer

Brown spots?: This would have to be personally clinically seen. It may be normal pigmentation or perhaps something else. See your dentist for an evaluation.

Question 2

i've noticed brown spots on the roof of my mouth, theyre really small and dont hurt at all. im 18, female, healthy and dont smoke or drink.

Accepted Answer

The next time you: see your dentist or doctor,show them.It doesn't sound serious or urgent.

Question 3

why would my tongue have white and brown spots?

Accepted Answer

cytology test: You could use a tongue scrapper and if it doesn't come off go to a dentist for a cytology test. There is an easy and pain free exam (brush-biopsy) to check for a soft tissue lesion.

Question 4

my daughter has been with a runny/stuffed nose for about 2 weeks.sneezes alot i think is allergies to grass.she has brown spots in her mouth?

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor: Child’s age is not given and is necessary to provide a full assessment. Much more info is needed such as duration, presence of other symptoms (itchy/watery eyes), cough, and more. “Brown spots” in mouth require visual inspection to identify cause and relationship to symptoms. See your doctor. Start a daily diary of all symptoms, suspected triggers, and bring to doctor appt for further evaluation.

Question 5

i have noticed small light brown spots on the base of my penis these spots have appeared in the last 60 days

Accepted Answer

I : I wish that i could tell you definitively what's going on, but no one can without examining you and getting a complete medical history including your sexual history.  If you're asking this kind of a question on an online forum like this, i suspect that you don't have a primary care doctor, or if you do, you don't feel comfortable asking him/her about this issue.

If you don't have access to healthcare because of insurance or financial issues, go to a public health clinic.  Almost every public health department has a sexually transmitted disease clinic.  The one closest to you is the rockland county std clinic (845) 364-3771.  What's going on with your penis may welll not be a sexually transmitted disease, but if it is, the folks there will be more than able to figure it out.  They've seen it all, and if they're anything like most std clinics, they're not going to be judgemental.

If you do have access to healthcare and don't feel comfortable talking to your physician about something like this, get a new one!

in my experience, most of these issues are nothing - normal skin tone variation, freckles, etc.  But if it is something like genital warts (which are incredibly common and nothing to be ashamed about) you want to get it taken care of.  If, it's something more serious like a melanoma (which is incredibly rare - you've got a better chance of winning the lottery then getting struck by lightening) it would be a terrible shame to not get that diagnosed early because of embarrassment.

So, get it looked at!  and if you don't feel comfortable being completely honest with your doctor, find another one.  It's not a doctor's role to judge or try to change your behavior.  My role is to listen to you, evaluate your health problems and risks, and give you the information you need to make decisions.

Question 6

hi i have two small brown spots on each of my breasts. i wanted to know if it was something i should be worried about.

Accepted Answer

Brown spots: You will feel much better if you see your gynecologist to check your brown spots.
I would be surprised if the doctor finds something about which to worry but please let me know.

Question 7

what to do if i have a bunch of small brown spots on my face from the sun, had many of them for years. will they go away?

Accepted Answer

Need eval to know.: These lesions need to be visualized &amp; a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis.

Question 8

i have these small brown spots to be specific only two  on my wrist and it doesn't hurt or anything and i just recently got it?

Accepted Answer

Unsure/unseen: The 2 spots need more explanation and very difficult to say without seeing them.  If not painful, no bleeding or other injury to the area it could be a normal little skin change but most important is to watch them closely and if remain and get bigger or sore then see a health professional to evaluate the area.  Hope this is helpful and all goes well.

Question 9

i have noticed a small brown spots on my penis, lower right side closer to the base. it's not bothering me, doesn't itch or anything like that. ?

Accepted Answer

These are: probably harmless moles...get them checked out at your next physical examination!
