Question 1

dark spot above my areolas to the edge of it & surrounds each in a semi circle way, getting thinner as it goes farther away from the top; bruise-like?

Accepted Answer

Sexual activity?: How long have these marks been there?Did they show up after sexual foreplay?There are many unusual skin marks that can result from it. Pregnancy will also change the color and size of the aureolas.

Question 2

i have a spot under my toenail its like a bruise though i may have injured it im not quite sure its in the base of my toe its quite circular @ center?

Accepted Answer

Should see surgeon.: Should see surgeon or dermatologist  or podiatrist to evaluate.
It could be a harmless hematoma that might cause nail to come off and resolve or it could be a melanoma and require surgery.

Question 3

sore circular red patch on the side of my breast. very tender and has remained the same for the last three days. no bite or spot. what could it 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.

Question 4

i popped an underground pimple, and it has turned into a small circular flat pimple. looks to be yellowish and it is tender. i have been apply benzoyl peroxide spot treatment and ice. need help identifying what it it and treatment. can i send a photo?

Accepted Answer

: It is not possible to send a photograph through this portion of Healthtap. It may be possible to see a lesion via telemedicine in the paid portion of the site. If not, then you should see your primary care doctor or a dermatologist for further advice. Good luck.

Question 5

what happens if the i got a bruise then hit that same spot again? will it be damaged more?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the injury is recent, put a cold compress to limit bleeding in the tissue. After a couple of days, using warm compresses may facilitate the clearance of hematoma. You may see color changes in the skin and that is a part of the healing process.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol or weed.

Question 6

i have a bruise which has a whitish colored spot on it, around the size of a quater that is firm to touch is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you had some form of trauma you may develop a hematoma (blood in the tissues where you were injured), and this can be firm, tender, warm to touch.  Sometimes the coloration will vary, but since i cannot see this white area am not certain what it is, but if it does not get better in a week or so, see a doctor.

Question 7

what is this small bruise spot on the heel?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: A number of things could cause bruising in the heel: trauma, plantar fascia tear, running, varicose veins, gout, fracture, etc.  Could be serious or nothing.  Get evaluated by doctor if painful or concerned.

Question 8

i have a spot on my lower left back its indented with lil color sometimes lools like a bruise and getting bigger what is this?

Accepted Answer

Skin lesion: Have pcp or dermatologist examine the lesion. Melanomas r characterized by irregular/indistinct borders, multiple colors, elevated, increasing size. So best to have it checked. If borders are regular, distinct, uniform color, may just be a mole. Since it's getting larger, best to have it checked.

Question 9

i over waxed my armpits and one still has a bruise or dark spot and it's been a week. they usually disappear in a couple of days. should i just be pat?

Accepted Answer

Bruise: Bruise can take upto 3 weeks to go depending on how much blood is under the skin. Will definitely go away if the immunity is intact.
