I have a pyogenic granuloma on my scalp and I'm really worried about it. Can this be treated without surgery? Also, is there any chance this could be a type of cancer? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

A pyogenic granuloma may not be harmful, but it can certainly disrupt daily life—especially if it bleeds frequently or is in a tricky location. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available, and with the right care, healing is usually straightforward.

View allI noticed what I initially thought was a bite, and it was a pale red at first. But now it's turned this darker red and kind of looks like a blood blister. Should I be worried about this change, and does it sound like something I should get checked out?

I've been dealing with this itchy red rash that keeps appearing and disappearing, and I sometimes feel a pricking sensation in different parts of my body, especially on my back. On top of that, my tonsils seem to hurt a bit too. Could this be something serious, or is there anything I should be doing to help it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Urticaria, also known as hives. Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come and go. The pricking sensation you are feeling in your body parts, especially in the back, could be due to the hives. The slight pain in your tonsils may be related to inflammation or infection. To help relieve your symptoms, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine to the affected areas to help with the itching. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
