I've had this lump for about a year now. It kind of popped up out of nowhere, and at first, it didn't hurt at all, so I just thought it might be a wart or something and ignored it. But lately, I've been noticing some pain when I press around the area. I spend a lot of time at my desk for work, and I'm wondering if it might be related to that. It's not a boil; it feels more like some kind of skin growth. Could it be connected to sitting for long periods, or should I be worried about something else?

It is important to have this lump evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause. The sudden development of a painless lump that has now become painful could indicate various possibilities, including an abscess, cyst, lipoma, or even a more serious condition like a tumor. It is unlikely to be directly related to your desk job unless there is a specific injury or pressure point causing the issue.

View allI'm really worried about my sister's skin. She's got a naturally dusky tone, but her job in sales means she's out in the field a lot, and it's made her skin even darker. I think it's because of increased melanin from all that sun exposure. Can you recommend any remedies to reduce the tanning and help get her skin back to its original color?
kindly consult dermatologist.

I'm really worried because I've had these dry rashes on my palms and feet for about a year and a half now. My doctor prescribed Halovate F, but it seems like it's just making things worse. Should I continue using it or maybe consider some other treatment options? What could these rashes mean? Any advice would be appreciated!
Dry rashes on your palms and feet for such a long duration can be quite bothersome. Halovate F contains the active ingredients Halobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which are used to reduce inflammation and treat skin infections. However, if you are experiencing an increase in symptoms despite using this medication, it may be necessary to consider alternative treatments. I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying a different medication such as Clobetasol propionate cream, which is a potent corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Additionally, it is important to keep your skin well moisturized by using emollients or moisturizers regularly. Avoiding triggers such as harsh soaps, excessive hand washing, or irritants can also help in managing your symptoms. If the rashes persist or worsen, further evaluation by a dermatologist may be necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
