Dermatology :: Pimples On Cheeks For Last 8 Years
Aug 17, 2014
I am from India.I have been suffering with pimples for more than 8 years.I have consulted so many doctors but all my attempts were futile. I am getting pretty much depressed and losing all my confidence.
My condition is getting worse. Now I have small lumps with fluid(Not pus) on my right cheek(lower cheek) and I have been getting them on the same spot frequently and periodically and they are painful and I have pimples on my left cheek too and they are normal.

I've had these small pimples affect me for several months now. I suspect something std related, but currently my doctor has ordered a blood sugar test so I'm awaiting those results.
They are small pimples, they appear in one area and disappear after a day or 2 and appear in another area sometime. I get few other spots that a bit tougher and bigger, but not often. They can be itchy and also itchy even when there are no pimples, mostly in the thighs. I have had the pimples mostly on the thighs, but also legs, lips, and recently I've discovered some on my face, arm, testicles and the foreskin of the penis.
Like I said I suspect std, most likely herpes. Herpes I know is a common and untreatable condition,but these pimple(at least on the legs) are continuous and does not herpes happen a couple of times a year?
I've been to a sexual health clinic several times and when they look at them shrug like it's not something they deal with or not recognise and therefore they do nothing. This clinic doesn't test for herpes as procedure, but I did manage a swab test on a pimple on my lip which was negative(however it was a burst pimple i.e. not a good sample). People that look also seem to not think it looks like herpes.
Basically what I'm doing is exhausting all possibilities because I don't want continuous pimples on my body. I can deal with it if I'm going to have outbreaks just not one big one.

I first noticed a small hard bump on vagina like near the clit when i was younger (maybe 11-12) i have never had any sexual contact before. Sometime later i got another one and i scratched and it caused a bump like rash that was really itchy all over my vagina. It's been awhile since i've got them again but lately it has started up again. I have started to worry about it being herpes because i have become sexually active. They are single bumps (do not show up in clusters) that may be itchy or tender if i touch them but they have not formed blisters. I have gotten them about 4 times now in the past couple of months. Also i have started to get sores spots on the inside of my mouth

I've had a scabby type sore on my index finger and light peel on lip since birth. My lip and finger were joined at birth. It has spread slowly and popped up on other fingers. There is also hard bumps covering a small amount of my hand. Sometimes one part of the scab gets pus under it. It goes white and very irritated when i surf in the ocean.

I've had the same condition on my left large toe for the past 3+ years now. It's extremely itchy, and bubbles up, and the skin then becomes soft and peels off, exposing the layers beneath. It then hardens again and repeats the process. There's a correlation with hotter weather and it becoming worse.
I've had it for a long time now but it's never spread anywhere else. However the list of creams I've been prescribed don't seem to do the job. I've included 3 very recent photographs. Anyone have any idea if this is an eczema or some type of fungus? The opinion seems to change doctor by doctor. Some say eczema, some say fungus!

I've been diagnosed with rosacea.
My cheeks sometimes get very red and hot.
Didn't like the cream they gave me. I've recently been using caneston cream
Which seems to be helping. (At moment) I rub a little on my cheeks each day.
It's just my whole face complexion, it's blotchy and horrible.
Find myself having to wear foundation. I'm not a person that wears make up everyday.
Is there anything else that may help out there? I

I was prescribed the above about two months ago. About two weeks after starting it my cheeks looked red and swollen and I had an itchy rash under my chin. Stopped taking it and it all cleared up in the following two weeks.
the Rheumy nurse has told me to try it again to make sure it was the cause. Thing is, I've had Sjogrens for about 20 years with the usual dryness, but I cope with eye drops and vaginal lubrication and HRT cream. Apart from the odd tummy troubles, I'm thankfully not in pain and lead a pretty normal life.
i'm not at all sure if taking hydroxychloroquine is worth it for me, as I dread it damaging my eyesight. My Specialist seems to think it may help with my poor sense of taste and smell, which would be great as it's depressing.

I received a "VIP" dance at a strip club where a stripper shoved my face in between her but cheeks. My mouth was open and my tongue did get out. She was wearing a gstring, and i'm concerned about any STD risks. this lasted for quite awhile. I was drunk and on top of feeling genuinely embarrassed (and ashamed), I am concerned. I haven't noticed anything that looks like a symptom.

Anyone else experiencing shooting pains down one of their butt cheeks? It's starting to happen more often and at longer durations after sitting on a hard surface too long. Definitely painful! I'm 29 weeks tomorrow.

I have this strange bruise on my arm. It first looked like a spot then got bigger. I think my shirts must have scratched it open but it won't heal properly or disappear. I also have a general itch feeling on my body with quite a lot of spots (which i normally don't get). First I thought it might be bed bugs but my GP (and some other doctors I asked) said it doesn't look like it. I got an appointment with a NHS dermatologist in about a month but I am really considering going to a private one as I don't wanna wait for that long. What do you guys think?

long story short i have body acne and use to have a lot on my face but now its all mostly cleared up. My face still is red from the acne that was there. I started using aveeno .5% sylacic acid moisturizer. i now have an itchy face and few knew zits. Should i stop using it? I also use 5% benzoyl peroxide wash and on 40mg of accutane once a day.

A couple of hours after going to bed last night I noticed the lower part of my leg was hurting. I went back to sleep anyway, I'm a bad sleeper at the best of times, and I am almost certain I was concious of the pain during my so called sleep. Woke up again a couple of hours later, got up and decided to take a look at my leg. I have a really ugly (admittedly I am really really weak when it comes to medical things) lump on the lower part of my leg (maybe half way between my knee and ankle) that appears to be mostly yellow with a red ring around it. I had a shower just before bed last night and did not notice a thing so I am guessing it may have just sprung up last night. Any thoughts on what it could be? I have spent the past couple of hours on google and am absolutely none the wiser. Really trying to avoid a gp visit having been there multiple times this year the most recent being just Saturday after finishing a course of antibiotics during the previous week. My doctor and a family member is really not going to be impressed with seeing me there again.

I've got a finger with some hard skin on the tip. It does not layer and if you try and bite or pick it off it comes back. I can file it smooth. It seems to have not spread. Any ideas for a general treatment I can try on it?

i have had these read areas for a couple of months near to the right armpit and now another one is appearing in the left side. It all started as a small line which got bigger eventually and then 2 others appeared. Now it is happening in the other side. I haven't had any wound or injury in there. Also i'm not allergic to anything. I'm 18 and i haven't suffered any illness. I don't feel any pain but i'm worried from their presence.

I Have Black Stuff Around My Lips & I Wanna Know How You Get It Off ?

I had this benign smooth small-ish bump on my nose for around two years, then around october time last year my nose got very dry and it kind of scraped/came off. It bled a little but it didn't seem to be full of blood, maybe just a clear fluid. It never bothered me up until it came off. I was really happy because i thought it had gone. But then it started to come back. it came back even WORSE! it got very red, formed an uneven texture and still hasn't disappeared and we are in March. I have been to a doctor, who prescribed me acne medication, which just irritated it. Then i visited a dermatologist who told me i could have a shave biopsy. Its not cancerous which is good. But i am very very self concious about it. It is not a raised red , uneven bump on my nose. If you apply pressure it will stay down for 5 seconds until it comes back again.
I have been weighing up whether i want to go ahead and have a shave biopsy, i am worried about it scarring badly. It isn't very big, it is about 4mm/5mm, but it still is very obvious ( especially to me ). How long do shave biopsies take to heal? could it come back after the biopsy? and how long after the shave biopsy would i have to wait before wearing makeup?

I've had a small patch of rough skin appear on my right palm on and off for a few months now. I applied over the counter cortistone which would get rid of it but it always returns after a few days.
Here is a picture. Any idea what this is, what is causing it? How to get rid of it?

I few days ago I noticed a white spot on the right side of my scrotum. The spot is no bigger than a dime and when I stretch my skin it doesn't show any abnormal grown and the spot is harder to notice. Another thing I noticed is when my scrotum is relax is harder to find but when it is the tense state is much easy to notice.
I've had jock itch before but it last some weeks max....
I'm in a monogamous relationship for some years now.
So I'm very confuse, it is a fungal infection? or simply a white spot? or something else?

About 10 days ago I started to get an itchy back. Nothing too serious, as my skin tends to be a bit on the sensitive side especially during the colder months of the year. Then about a week ago I noticed that I had these red blotches all over my back. At first they looked like really bad mosquito bites, but on closer look they were more like a stinging nettle sting-now I have about 15 of them on by back and have started getting them down my front as well. They've also started to appear singly on my legs and arms too. I have been using soothing creams to keep the itching down and have started taking allergy tablets in case that helps. Itching has gotten better and the raised bumps look less angry and red, but they are not going away (in fact seem to be getting more!). I read up on hives, but most sites seem to say they disappear after a week or so unless they're chronic, so I'm wondering now if it's something else? Has anyone else had anything similar and what did it turn out to be?
