? Contact allergy: It sounds like a contact allergy to the waist trimmer wrap. I would recommend trying Benadryl (diphenhydramine). If this does not help I would recommend going to see your family doctor or to the emergency room to have them evaluate and treat.

: You should see a dermatologist so it can be evaluated and diagnosed. Once it is diagnosed, a treatment can be given. It would not be possible to make a diagnosis without examining it and a dermatologist would be the best doctor to do this. Good luck!

Question 5

i have a soft bump on my waist and hurts to the touch ,it feel like theres a small ball under the skin about the size of a penny roughly?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: a CYST ( the location is a bit unusual but SEBACEOUS CYSTS are the most common cause of such "balls"  (Enlarged LYMPH GLANDS are also possible!

You should get this checked out by your PCP (Primary Care Provider) who can determine what the diagnosis is!
Check it out!!
Hope this helps!

Removal, inflamed.: If you have access you may want it removed at a medical facility. However there are possibilities of getting topical agents from a pharmacy that you could dab on it that may make it dry up and some of them may even make it fall off; but that would be slowly over a period of days. The skin tag is inflamed probably or engorged with blood.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: You are getting inflammation in the area. If it happens after intercourse, there may be some abrasions. You might need to use a water-based lubricant. If it doesn't just happen after intercourse, you may have an external yeast infection. You might try some over-the-counter antifungal cream. If this does not help, you may need to go get checked by your gynecologist.
