Question 1

I've noticed a pretty big red pimple under my left breast. It's turned dark now, and I've got a few smaller red pimples nearby. I'm really scared this might be something serious like breast cancer. I started exercising almost every day, but I'm not wearing a sports bra, just a regular tight one. Could the sweat and friction from that be causing these to show up under just one breast?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, I'm here to help you figure out what might be going on.

The symptoms you're describing - a red pimple under your left breast that's turned dark, with other small red pimples nearby - are unlikely to be breast cancer. Breast cancer typically presents as a lump or thickening in the breast tissue, not as pimples or skin lesions [1).

That being said, it's always a good idea to get any new or changing skin symptoms checked out by a doctor. They can take a closer look and provide a proper diagnosis.

As for the possible causes, sweat and friction from exercising and wearing a tight bra could definitely contribute to skin irritation and pimples in that area. This is especially likely if you're not wearing a sports bra that fits well and allows for good airflow

Question 2

I'm worried about whether it's necessary to remove the frenulum to get my partner pregnant. I have mine intact and I really don't want to remove it. Could you give me some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

The frenulum is a small fold of mucous membrane that connects the lip to the gum. Removing it, also known as a frenectomy, is sometimes recommended for pregnant women, but it's not always necessary.

Reasons for frenectomy during pregnancy:

1. Frenulum attachment: If the frenulum is too tight or attached too close to the teeth, it can cause tension on the gum and lead to recession or separation of the gum from the tooth.
2. Gum recession: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause gum inflammation and recession. A frenectomy might be recommended to reduce the risk of gum recession.
3. Oral hygiene: A tight frenulum can make it difficult to clean the area between the teeth and gum, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues.

Alternatives to frenectomy:

If you're not comfortable with the idea of removing your frenulum, discuss the following alternatives with your dentist or healthcare provider:

1. Improved oral hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
2. Gum massage: Gently massage your gums to improve blood flow and reduce tension.

Question 3

I'm 21 and I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples and acne right now, which I think might be because of my body having too much internal heat. They're popping up around my nose, near my lips, on my forehead, and cheeks. The ones on my forehead are especially frustrating because they swell up but dont really have any seed or pus in them. Any advice on what might be causing this or how I can treat it?
