I've got this growth of skin on my wrist.  Its not a wart because its smooth.  It just looks like a hard lump of skin. Ive had it for abou 4 months and i've tried wart remover,wart patches, hydrogen peroxide everything to get rid of it.  What is it and what should i do?

I've heard of these before. My son had a bunch of little "bumps" all over him a year or so ago. It's called molluscum contagiosum and no, all the wart creams and removers in the world won't get rid of it. I suggest talking to a dermatologist and they will be able to prescribe something that will get rid of it. If it's more like a bump under the skin than a wart, I would talk to you family doctor just to be safe.

Could be a rash, burn, or somehow your skin was irritated.  I'd wait a while and see if it goes away IF: you don't have any other symptoms and it doesn't worsen.  There are many skin conditions also that could cause this.  An appointment with your local dermatologist would be a surefire way to figure it out.

Go see another doctor, the previous one was an idiot. Bumps under your skin isn't somethinga real doctor would just say, "hmm, interesting, but I have no clue. Bye, have a good day."

I had a stubborn wart on my finger for over a year that wouldn't go away with the freezing treatment. The liquid salicylic acid didn't do the job either. I finally got rid of it using the salicylic acid disks meant for corns that come with pads to hold them in place, but I just used the disks, not the pads. Corn removers have a stronger concentration of salicylic acid than wart removers. I changed the disks every other day and in between kept the disk in place with a waterproof bandage, which worked better than the corn pad things. I kept peeling away the skin, trying to get into the wart itself. It took about four weeks, but it finally went away. A podiatrist told me the real trick with warts is getting your own body to recognize that the wart is there and then your own immune system will help get rid of it. So you aren't really burning it away. You are just trying to annoy your body enough so that it recognizes it needs to do something. The wart "hides" in a protective layer of skin. You have to "out" it so your immune system will do its job. Good luck! Plantar warts are especially stubborn.

It could be a pimple or cyst forming under the skin.  I would wait a couple of days to see if it goes down or goes away and if there is no change, see a doc...

Yes, you absolutely have to go to the doctor. They happen all the time. And they are easy for a doctor to remove. It is probably a localized lymph node infection or a dermoid cyst. or maybe it is even a ganglion cyst. But you need to have it removed. \n\nInternet diagnosis isn't reliable. You need to talk to a doctor.

i would go see a doctor about that.  they can probably prescribe you some sort of anti-fungal that will clear it all up.\n\na dermatologist maybe, or a podiatrist

if you have gone to doctors and they can't treat it, describe it, diagnosis it, etc...then think about getting another doctor! try a dermatologist.

You sound very concerned. Why don't you seek professional help then? Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. You must consult your doctor or a dermatologist. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

im guessing its an ingrown pubic hair, put a good lotion or vaseline on it every day and see if you can see any hair in it. do you shave? if so dont for a week or so untill all your hair grows out and if you have any still growing under the skin scratch at them untill they come up and wait a few more days then scratch at the purple spot, if nothing comes up go to your doctor or school nurse and they can help with out telling your parents if your young and dont want them to know. you could have a blood blister also. have you gottan it pinched in anything lately? you can ask for a female doctor if you go to the hospital. male doctors see that kinna thing every day so they think nothing of it just try to find the cause, good luck! if its an ingrown hair you can use tweezers to get it out and then keep your pubic area moisturized with vaseline(works best) or lotion.

Boy our son had only 1 big one. We tried the freeze it over the counter stuff ... it too grew like tiny tentacles and so we headed to the dermatologist to freeze off twice before it stopped.\n\nHe told us the acid in the over the counter... probably irritated and started to get infected.  He said eventually the over the counter would work, just take alot longer but my son kept poking it so this was just quicker. He had to do the treatment twice cause he said it probably would come back.  Only charged for the inital visit so it was worth it.

It's a skin tag. Visit a friendly dermatologist to have it removed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't pop it...

As a sufferer of mucho acne; I feel your pain.  It might be a large cystic pimple, where as trying to pop it wouldn't help much.  In fact it could make the situation worse.  Have you tried a hard-core acne cream, such as 10% benzoyl peroxide, and DONT TOUCH IT!  I'm a zit-popping freak, obsessive at times, so I know it can be hard to resist.  If all else fails; see your doctor.  perhaps a cortisone shot will make it dissapear!

Go to the doctor and get Aldara cream! It's wonderful! No joke! I had genital warts and they were aweful, I used Aldara cream for a few weeks and they were gone and never came back! It can give you 2nd and 3rd degree burns though if you use it too much, so make sure you are following the directions! Good luck!

I would say: see a doctor. however. I have had this before. and the doctor said its a bacteria caused by wearing new or long-time stored clothes because you have sensitive skin it's not dangerous and it  will go away eventually however he gave me some kind of cream to put on the spots it will get rid of them faster. and he also told me to wash every thing I buy from the stores b4 wearing it. \nif you have insurance. see the doctor
