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 worried because my skin is really sensitive to the sun. I've been using Suncrose 50, but I stopped using it for a few days and ended up with a sunburn. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kojiglo cream to help with the sunburn?
You cannot use kojiglo cream for sunburn as it typically used for skin lightening and pigmentation issues.For sunburn treatment apply a cold compress, use a gentle moisturiser, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, consider using pain relief meds if needed.

I got bit on my face by a Nairobi fly and I've tried different ointments, but it seems to be spreading instead of healing. I'm using Colgate now because it's helped others, but I'm really worried about this spreading further. Can you help me figure out what to do?
1. Stop using Colgate: While it may have worked for others, using toothpaste on skin can be irritating and dry out the skin, making the situation worse. 2. Clean the area: Wash the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water to remove any bacteria or debris. 3. Apply a topical antibiotic ointment: Use a topical antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to help prevent infection and promote healing. 4. Use a hydrocortisone cream: Apply a hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation and itching. 5. Avoid scratching: Scratching can lead to further irritation, infection, and scarring. If the symptoms persist, worsen,seek medical attention

I'm really worried because my daughter accidentally spilled hot tea on her chest, and now she has about three spots, each around an inch, that got burned. After treatment, her chest is okay now, but the skin color where it burned is different from her normal skin. What can I do to help the color of the burned skin blend back in with her regular skin tone?
Aquaphor healing ointment is advised for local application for 1 week once daily , any side-effects dermat opinion is advised to the patient.
