Question 1

i have a small yellow line under my skin leading to a red spot above what is this?

Accepted Answer

Skin doctor can help: Uncommon skin rashes, unusual spots, or interesting lines are hard to describe in words.  A dermatologist (skin doctor) would have to look at it, maybe under a magnifying glass, and decide on a diagnosis.  A primary care doctor can also help, especially if one has other bodily symptoms at the same time as the skin symptom.

Question 2

i have a little small little spot or bump of yellow colour on the skin of my eye from where the eye starts.it is completly harmless.never felt pain?

Accepted Answer

Pingueculua: You have discovered a normal feature of the eye surface next to the colored part.  You can have as many as four - one on each side of each eye.  They are a protective feature of the eyes against uv light, wind and dust.  They have that peculiar name, pinguecula.  They are harmless and will had as you grow older usually over 60.

Question 3

my thumb hurts i have a small yellow spot that i can see under skin. swollen a little joint goes out of joint?

Accepted Answer

Trigger finger?: If you have the sensation that your thymb is catching or clicking, this is common and is referred to as a trigger finger.  This may improve with splinting or a cortisone injection.  The yellow spot concerns me.  Could be a cyst, but could it be an infection.  If this gets worse, get it checked out by your doctor.

Question 4

what is the yellow spot on skin?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your doctor can help you with a diagnosis. It could be many things if raised or flat or depending on the shape and the actual color.  Your doctor is the only one that can tell you in person about a 'spot'.

Question 5

i found a spot on my girlfriend's vagina just below the clitoris, we looked into the symptoms but can't seem to find anything, it's like a white/yellow head and has been there for a while with no pain and no spread etc.

Accepted Answer

Junior GYN MD: Thanks for noticing the area on your girlfriends vagina as a "Junior GYN MD". Unfortunately, I am unable to see the same area in this virtual realm. A visit to a  live "Senior GYN MD" is needed to provide the best answer.

Question 6

i had a spot on my hip last night and i thought it was a flea bite but now i've woken up this morning and it has got a yellow head on it like a pimple?

Accepted Answer

See below: The description suggests a small area of bacterial infection of the skin. It's possible it started from an insect bite that became infected. Generally, warm compress and application of triple antibiotic cream may speed resolution. Should the presumed infection worsen have the area examined by a physician.

Question 7

i have a spot on my upper lip, it has swollen my lip. the spot now has a yellow head and is painful. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Abscess?: If its fairly severe you should seek treatment for what sounds to me like an abscess.  If it's quite small it may be the early stages of a cold sore before it becomes an open sore.

Question 8

my 18 week old baby has a bright red spot at the back of her neck close to the head. she scratches that a lot, the spot appeared less than 24 hours ago. since the spot appeared, she has been pooping a lot (greenish yellow stool). please help.

Accepted Answer

Insect bite: The bright red, itchy spot could indicate an insect bite. The Greenish yellow stool is probably unrelated. Watch for redness spreading outward from the site of the bite, and if her stool becomes watery. Talk to her Dr for these compications.

Question 9

what is it to have yellow spots in the skin mainly on my legs?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Your description particularly localized to those areas is really hard to diagnose without an actual exam. Please seek your primary doc.

Question 10

are yellow spots on my skin normal? they are on my upper arm.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Normal healthy people do not have yellow spots on the arms. Skin rashes are difficult to describe with words. A rash that is unusual (such as yellow spots), lasts a long time, or keeps recurring needs to be examined by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist (skin doctor). The doctor can start treatment, or he can do additional testing if the diagnosis is uncertain.
