Why is my painful red lump on foreskin?

Patient's Query

i have a red lump on my forskin that is extremely painful upon and contact.

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

A red lump in that area could be due to various reasons. It might be a bacterial or fungal infection, an allergic reaction, or even an inflamed hair follicle. In some cases, it could be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection. It's essential to have it checked by a healthcare provider to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid any harsh soaps, and refrain from sexual activity until you've been seen by a gynecologist

Hello sir /ma'am From the past 3 months i was using elosone ht skin cream over my knee areas, because of the sun exposure my knee became very dark and they were looking very odd. That's why i was using it in my knee areas only, also it was having visible results. 4 5 days back i saw my knees and suddenly i was in shock. My knees are looking very scary. The area where i use to apply the cream the whole area is covered with a dark patch which is 2x darker than before i had. Please help me it is looking very scary and i can't even wear shorts due to this.

The cream you were using might have led to the development of a skin condition known as skin atrophy which causes the skin to become thin and darker. This can occur if certain steroid creams are applied for an extended duration on sensitive areas like the knees. It's vital to discontinue the cream instantly and see a dermatologist for a thorough examination and advice on how to improve the skin condition.

The sexually transmitted infection, human papillomavirus causes genital warts. Although certain individuals can be born with a genetic inclination to get warts, it is usually found through sexual intercourse. Genital warts must be diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist or the specialist in STDs to do it properly.

Im 19yrs old, getting red stretch marks on my right breasts and they are little itchy and burning! Is it normal? Its only in one of my breasts!

Female | 19

Stretch marks ofte­n appear during growth periods like at 19. The­y're reddish, itchy bands from your expanding skin. Having the­m on just one side is normal too. Gentle­ moisturizers may ease the­ irritation. Drink plenty of fluids.

I am 18-year old female and i have been experiencing throat pain, there’s small oranges bumps on the back of my throat, it hurts to sallow and my throat just looks red and swollen is also small patches on my tonsils.

Female | 18

You could have tonsillitis, a condition in which your tonsils become infected. It may be uneasy for you if your throat is red, swollen, and has small orange bumps and patches. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. In more detail, the patient should follow the three instructions: drinking a lot of non-alcoholic fluids, sleeping more, and using over-the-counter analgesic medication that your healthcare provider recommended. The practice of gargling warm salty water will definitely sooth the pain as well. By that time the infection has not subsided; it can mean that you should see a physician for more care.
