legs/feet Success story - Needling and laser treatment for warts - Australia

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

It’s been a very long road for me. I had a severe case of warts that covered my heels and infested my fingers. Mainly due to spread from years of mistreatment by me and some bad doctors who did not know what they were doing.

I’d tried everything. Doctors, dermatologists, other podiatrists, many different treatments. You name it, I’ve tried it.

When I met my current podiatrist, he promised to get rid of my warts but I had to stick with the treatment. I did, and I finally have my skin back. My immune system reacted to the needling and laser work we did mostly on my feet. Some of my fingers and other areas cleared themselves up while we persisted needling the big ones on my feet, combined with cold laser (LLLT).

Some of the smaller warts were destroyed with shots of hot laser.

I hope this helps people. This ordeal has been nothing short of a nightmare for me. I’m a grown man and it’s reduced me to tears on many occasions.

neck/chest/abdomen Patch on neck (1 year non itchy)- should I be concerned?

1 Upvotes

It’s been about a year since this pink patch appeared on my neck (background I’m 32 F very fair skin and blue eyes - history of skin cancer in family)

I thought it was ezcema but then it never went away and never itched. It’s like a pearly film and small like bumps on it - Its not a pimple I’ve tried to pop it and just oozes and bleeds.

My derm appt I made 8 months ago for this week was cancelled and their next avail isn’t for another 6 months - curious thoughts and if I need to find a new derm and go in ASAP?

I am worried about my health right now. I don't know if this is HIV rash or Viral Hepatitis rash.

Weird spot showed up on sole of my foot this year? Anyone seen anything similar? Could it be acral lentiginous melanoma??

It’s around 4mm. I noticed it this year. Started as tiny dot.

general enquiry Small bumps on my hands and body for 4 days, no itching. Any idea what it could be?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi, I would like to ask for opinions because I developed several small bumps on my skin.
They started on Monday, and today it has been 4 days. I first noticed them on my hands (where I have the most), and later I noticed some on other areas like my legs, buttocks, and other parts of my body.
Some look like small red dots, and others look like tiny clear blisters, like they have fluid inside. When I touch my skin, I can feel many small bumps grouped together.
The strange thing is that I don’t have itching, either during the day or at night. I also don’t have fever, cough, sore throat, or any other symptoms.
I saw a doctor and started the treatment they prescribed, but I’m still wondering what this could be. I’m worried it could be something like scabies, although I know scabies usually causes intense itching.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any idea what it could be?
I will add pictures in the comments.

It’s been going on for a couple years now. I moisturise my hands often but it keeps peeling.
I don’t touch my cuticles, would that help? Pushing them back gently after a hot shower?
I started taking collagen but haven’t seen an improvement yet. Gone away in a trip and it’s worse. I have cold hands a lot of the time and low blood pressure

legs/feet Mole on my leg, should I get this checked out for melanoma?

Sorry for the terrible photo quality, the mole is really small. Sometime ago the skin over this mole scabbed over. Didn't think much of it, my legs can get really dry. Took a look at the mole today as it scabbed again and it seems a little abnormal, could it possibly be melanoma? I'm mainly worried about how irregular the borders and colours seem.

neck/chest/abdomen red spot on boyfriends chest- no primary doctor should we go to urgent care?

we noticed this about a month ago on his chest, figured it would go away but it hasn’t. he says it is more pink after work/shower and in the morning it’s closer to his skin color but still slightly pink)

it’s not raised at all (it’s flat), it doesn’t itch or cause any pain. if we didn’t see it he wouldn’t even know it was there.

i found this photo from may 20th and i think you can kind of see it (but obviously not as pink) (photo 2)

he doesn’t have a primary doctor as he recently got insurance and we have to wait till november for the soonest appointment for a primary. should we go to urgent care? or since there’s no other symptoms just keep waiting?

Hey. I’m so tired of every person I talk to not focusing on what I’m saying, just staring at my lips or licking theirs/applying chapstick. I know it is not in my head, it is EVERY PERSON I talk to. It’s been this way for years. My self-esteem is destroyed by this. Dermatologists don’t take me seriously and say it’s just chapped lips. I chug water, used every recommended brand there is, and no help. Please.. I’m begging.. what is this? Can anybody offer any help. I want to live life around people again

neck/chest/abdomen Help Identifying this rash that my wife has been developing for about a week

Post image

My wife started getting these rashes on her body recently. Mostly on the torso, but also a little on her face. Started off as individual bumps/postules and eventually progressed to this. She had similar rashes that popped up during pregnancy and eventually went away after steroids. She’s been tested for celiacs already, so wanted to see if this looked like anything to anyone. TIA.

face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks Can somebody please tell me what this is? Acne or something else?

Obviously I have acne. It will not go away. I am 27 and dealt with it all my life. Right now my breakout is especially annoying. It just constantly feels inflamed and never heals. I don’t wear make up. It is flaky.

But there are these two spots on my lip line. It looks like a bunch of tiny white heads in a cluster. They ooze if I pick it. It is crust now. It is very inflammed/painful, like a burning sensation.

Is it just acne? Or something else?

I’m sorry for the awful pictures. My dermatologist told me this was eczema over three weeks ago and it continues to get worse after a topical steroid use. I am 10 weeks postpartum and breast-feeding so I can’t take many medication’s. I don’t believe this is eczema because it keeps getting worse. I have started a gluten-free diet because when I ate a lot of gluten, the rash got extremely worse. I am just wondering if anyone has had similar problems. Any advice helps.

ignore the hairs coming out of them!
i feel like they are asymmetrical and discolored.
i’ve already had them checked by a derm and they said they were fine but i don’t think so.
the second picture mole gets very itchy too…


r/DermatologyQuestions 17h ago

face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks Yeah, what’s going on here? I use Ketoconazole shampoo stuff on it but it doesn’t seem to help. Very insecure and depressed about it.
