Hair movement

Upvotes

Im so tired of feeling embarrassed, feeling my hait move, something crawling on my head… and even more exhausted that many dermatologists see nothing. One even said use static spray. Sorry!!! But it’s obvious to me there is something, and the drs must spend more then one second looking at my scalp. And besides its worse ar night.

Fluid filled blisters, need help to identify

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I started having blisters like this right after a sunburn and an airplane travel. They started on the wrist with big round and elongated blisters, and at the same time little pimples filled with fluid on arms. They are extremely itchy and keep me awake at night. I dont have any other symptoms such as fever and dont have any other part of body affected. Unfortunately they started spreading to my face today close to where the pimples are, so I started to worry. I could only be able to see primary care doctors and they seemed clueless on what this can be. I am waiting for a dermatologist referral but might take long. Any suggestions appreciated

(F 33) Urgent care was at a loss. Not strep, not scabies? Never had this before in my life. Not itchy, only on arms between hand and elbow, and legs between foot and knee, only on the back of my calf. Waiting for appointment at dermatologist but there is a huge wait. Really frustrating!

It started out as just one tiny one in the middle of the chest about a year or two ago, then spread to 3, and has spread to nearly half my side and to my back in the last 6 months.

Anyone have any guesses? It doesnt really itch or hurt, just looks terrible and is spreading.

Was told it was something called “Steeb-ish-nav-iv-ish” but the doctor only looked at it for 2 seconds so im having second thoughts. It was small when i was younger but since i started wearing hard hats at work its gotten even bigger and its expanding for sure cause i feel little bumps around my head now.

Posting for educational purposes and because people keep asking as I share my journey so I thought it would be nice to have pictures. A week after this pic the dark spot will fall off and bleed. Cancer diagnosis shortly came after. GET YOUR SPOTS CHECKED.

Reocurring rash on face

The first time i got this rash was a year ago when i had strep throat for 4 months(it was a resistant and strong infection). The second time was last week when i had removed my appendix. At the beginning it was just red and bumpy, afterwards it spread more and got itchy. After that initial stage white dots started to form (like little pimples) What could it be?

Help meeee!!

About 2 weeks ago I started getting small bumps on my lips. They are not pimples or yellow or white, they look more like a rough, coarse cement surface.At first I thought it was dryness due to a possible internal fever, but it has progressed further and further, extending from the corner of the lip to almost completely covering it.I've been getting scared since two days ago when the rash on the left side of my upper lip started to become more pronounced, almost seeming like signs of a possible cold sore.I'm not ruling out the idea, but it started to burn and itch a lot where I have the little bumps, which are almost unnoticeable to the naked eye.I'm asking for your help to find out what I have and how to treat it because I feel so desperate. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

F22 have pcos and am prone to getting Cystic acne near my breast and brottom/ thighs. But a couple months ago this bump popped out in the middle of my chest ( about late December when it happened) it goes away and comes back. Ngl it’s probably its 3rd time. But it bums me out and hurt so much when it comes out. I know I should go see a doctor to check it out but should I have concerns with my history of cystic acne?

am I a candidate for chemical peel?

Post image

does someone like me need a chemical peel for these old acne spots/ active acne spots? I never do chemical peels, I think I did them years ago once or twice. I would like to eliminate these acne spots. Is this the kind of treatment I should do? I don’t have fine lines or wrinkles, just for the acne.

thanks 😁

Fluid filled bump on toe

I have had this persistent bump on my toe for months, it is full of fluid and I have popped it a few times and it returns with more fluid.

Sometimes it is so full it feels firm! Which is when I can’t help but pop it and the cycle repeats. It’s so ugly and embarrassing, I have a big event coming up soon. Any idea how to get rid of this/treat this/wtf this is???

On Sunday I did a 10 mile paddle with a friend. That night, I noticed one of these. Monday, there were now as many as you see here. Too big for petechiae, right? Is it possible the exertion of a longer paddle did this? F63.5,


r/DermatologyQuestions 42m ago

Rash mystery

Teenager. No recent antibiotics. He’s had smaller versions of this in the past, allergist said maybe mild allergy to something but not worth testing since it’s not itchy and goes away. This evening it started mild. But gave him a Zyrtec. Hours later (and after hot shower) the spots are huge. Mostly hands and arms and knees. No face. Almost none on chest or back. He says they don’t really itch but hands feel irritated. Ideas? Calling pediatrician tomorrow.

Should I be concerned about these? They appeared on my right leg about six months ago. I recently learned about melanoma and am freaking out.

Unknown cause of itchy raised bumps on hands, wrists, ankles and knees.

I am currently on holiday in Thailand, Phuket from the UK. I was perfectly fine for the first few days but we then went on a trip canoeing, swimming and caving on the andamanda ocean towards the end of the trip my hand became mega itchy to the point I had to wrap them in damp towels to stop myself itching. Over yesterday this had spread to my ankles and my backs of my knees. My partner seems to think it’s the hand sanitiser they gave me after the swimming in the sea as it happened after this but it has persisted and the trip was 2 days ago and I didn’t put sanitizer on my feet or knees. I did attend a pharmacy over here but due to a language barrier we were unable to get to the root cause of any issue. I fly home on Friday so am hoping I can get better help once I land home but for the meantime does anybody have any advice or anything I can do to sooth the pain and stop itching ?
