Could a growing neck lump over 2 years be concerning?

Patient's Query

Lump on the back of neck, has grown in size over 2 years

Answered by Dr. Ishmeet Kaur

This could be a cyst or a lipoma (a harmless fatty growth), among other things. If you feel pain, notice changes in skin color around it, or find that it grows rapidly please see a dermatologist immediately for necessary investigations. You may have to undergo biopsy or surgery for removal depending on the doctor's recommendations to secure your health.

Hello, I have redness on my nose, I would like to get rid of it, as its not the same colour and it looks ugly. I kinda know why its red. I had erythema multiforme, after someone drank from my water bottle and i got herpes simplex, i had red dots on my hand, knees, elbows, and one on my nosebridge now its gone, but ever since i have a discolored nose. The top where it connects to the forehead is white and below its a red colour, what can I do to get back the original colour of my nose, is there any medication that can help?

That redness on your nose might be­ leftover swelling. Don't worry though, with some­ gentle TLC, it should fade. Be­ sure to moisturize and use mild products. Staying out of harsh sunlight (and SPF!) will also ke­ep discoloration away. It may take time, but your skin will he­al.

Hello.. i am priti.2 day ago cat bite me.but not bleeding only two min. Burning and red dot and morning no dot .what should i do.

Female | 30

From what you are telling me, a cat must have bitten you. And even though it didn't bleed, you saw a burning sensation and a red dot after the event. This is a possible result of bacteria from the cat's mouth. It is important to wash the area with soap and water. Check for any swelling, pain, or redness. If you see anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to see a doctor.
