Call dentist: You should take benedryl  and this will help, the hives clear up quickly. The time will depend on how serious your allergic reaction is.  Call the dentist that is treating your tooth and let them know what happened.  It is still important to treat your infection.

i had a large bump near the entrance of my ear last night. it had 3 or 4 black dots, and when i put pressure on it, clear liquid mixed with blood came out. when i got it all out, there was two holes, one bigger than the other. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: If the bump wasn't tender or reddened, it wasn't an infected cyst or a boil. Also apparently the drainage wasn't purulent ( pus). I suspect it was a wen or sebaceous cyst. It may fill up again. A physician would have to inspect this in order to make an accurate diagnosis &amp; advise you.

Question 6

my daughter has molluscum contagiosum can i use any of these 3 things to put on the bumps i have : metronidazole , nystain ointment, econazole?

Accepted Answer

Molluscum contagiosu: Moluuscum is caused by a virus and none of those 3 meds will work to eradicate it. Like warts, they can last for 2-3 years and fall off. The main problem is its rapid spread. Its treatment should be performed by a dermatologist or a physicain who has had experience in treating it.

Have it evaluated by your physician to get the appropriate treatment.

Question 9

i have a clear bump under my tounge what is this?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Depending on how big the bump is it could be a salivary duct, or a ranula.  A mucocele is another possibility.  An ulceration or oral cancer are still other possibilities... So it is best if you go to see a dentist and they will give you a correct diagnosis. A biopsy may be suggested.

Question 10

what could these clear bumps on my hands be?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.
