I'm a 31-year-old guy and recently noticed this red mark on my neck that's been there for about 12 days now. It kind of looks like a hickey, but it definitely isn't because I haven't been sexually active in a few years. It doesn't hurt or itch, so I'm really confused about what it could be. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

A sudden red mark on the neck that doesn't hurt or itch could be from minor trauma (like scratching), an insect bite, or a skin reaction. Other possibilities include an allergic reaction. If it doesnt improve or new symptoms appear, consider seeing a doctor for evaluation to rule out other causes like dermatitis or skin conditions.

Question

I've been dealing with really itchy skin on my leg for about a year now, and it's led to these black patches forming. On top of that, I've started having some breathing problems and I'm worried it might be an allergy reaction to cold. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about the patches and breathing issues?

Question

Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.

Question

I've had this small, hard lump near my groin on the left leg for the past 34 days and I'm getting a bit worried. It seemed like it might've been a hair follicle issue at first, but those usually clear up in a day or two, and this one's just sticking around. Recently, I had a fever and went to the doctor who gave me some red liquid and pills, probably antibiotics, but I'm not sure if they're related to the lump or something else. Im generally pretty healthy with no other medical issues, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I see a dermatologist or a urologist about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
