i have a small white bump of skin inside both lobe piercing holes and i can take 20 mins trying to put earrings in due this. they are sore to touch and weep sometimes, abx didnt resolve the bump. how do i get rid of what could be small scar tissue?

Accepted Answer

: I suggest you to wear earrings with non-allergenic metals such as platinum or pure gold/silver and leave them in places for weeks or months, clean the sites with hydrogen peroxide twice a day if there is redness or discharge. With the studs in place, the canals can be established and those bumps will be suppressed or eradicated. You should avoid the cheap earrings which often cause allergy.

Question 2

tiny white bump on top waterline, underneath eyelash. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Stye or cyst: This could be a stye (blocked oily gland of the eyelid) or epidermal inclusion cyst.  Both benign.  Try hot compresses and eyelid massage.

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor Now: The description given provides inadequate information to suggest a diagnosis. Important details such as: duration, size, recent illness, associated symptoms such as itching, past medical history, and more must be considered. Be aware that accurate diagnosis of skin lesions is challenging without visual inspection. See your doctor now for prompt and correct diagnosis given the young age of child.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Meibum: These little eyelid margin whitish-yellow bumps are oil secretions from your glands of Meibum. They're usually rather inconspicuous but when the secretions are not released well, due to dysfunction, they appear as little bumps. Sometimes they backup significantly, get inflamed, and produce a sty. The stagnant secretions may burn. Do warm compresses and lid massages daily to help improve flow.

Question 7

White lump?: White lump is not a medical diagnosis.  Sounds like you need to see your physician or a dermatologist before you do something to make a scar on your face.

Question 8

from time to time i get a tiny white bump on the top of my tongue. a bit painful. not sure if its my taste buds inflamed. is this from poor hygiene?

: Likely you have had transient lingual papillitis. The most likely cause of transient lingual papillitis is local irritation or trauma to a fungiform papilla. However many other possible triggers have been suggested including stress, hormone fluctuations, gastrointestinal upset and specific foods.

Question 9

Inclusion cyst: Epithelial cells in normal skin glands sometimes plug the opening called inclusion cysts. Harmless but if cosmetic concern can be removed by eye md at your convience.

Question 10

3-4 days ago, i noticed a small white bump on top of the edge of my iris. dr said nothing about it both times i went, just eye is inflamed. worry?

Accepted Answer

See eye doctor: If you saw an eye doctor and he was not worried then it is probably nothing serious. If it was a general md you might want a second opinion with an eye doctor. It could be anything from an inflamed pterygium (benign growth on eye), inflammatory reaction from blepharitis, corneal scar, infection or contact lens reaction. If it worsens or is associated with pain or vision loss, see your eye doctor!
