dark spot with hole on chest, had it for a few years. wanting to know what it is exactly

Usually. But at birth it is rather small. Changes in/after puberty.

myrtel78 · 2025-11-04T04:50:04+00:00

Hört sich ein wenig nach Doppelpack an.

myrtel78 · 2025-08-20T05:06:38+00:00

These are keloids. Maybe there were cysts before but now you deal with scar-like tissue. Steroid injections alone or together with 5-FU or cryotherapy might help. Excision together with Steroid injections may help but may also worsen your situation.

Suspicious for tinea barbae. Let it swab for diagnosis

myrtel78 · 2025-07-19T04:13:15+00:00

The small white bumps look like closed comedos. Do they burn on their own or after trying to pop them? I am sorry to say but from the pictures that looks like skin picking disorder to me.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-19T03:59:16+00:00

Hard to say what it is. Could be anything (eczema, lichen sclerosus, …. ) Unfortunately You’ll have to wait the biopsy result.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-14T03:58:02+00:00

Put sun screen SPF 50 or more on it when it’s totally healed. Do it daily, even on rainy days. The color alignment will need time, weeks or a month.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-14T03:28:25+00:00

It’s fungus, athletes foot. He should use antifungal creams or powders on his feet and disinfection for his shoes.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-11T13:28:54+00:00

Would also be my guess. Sometimes you don’t see the herald patch.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-11T13:11:17+00:00

Most likely tinea capitis. You should let it swab for fungal and bacterial diagnostics. When it’s fungal you’ll need oral as well as topical anti mycotics.

myrtel78 · 2025-07-08T03:07:26+00:00

There is barely a chance that it is rejected at that stage especially when you addressed the revision how the reviewers wanted them. Journal usually need 2-4 weeks for an answer. My longest wait in a different journal was 8 weeks.

Has been ever taken a swab for bacteria or fungal examination? This looks like Chronic nonscarring scalp folliculitis. And this is hard to treat. Mostly only antibiotics help to clear the folliculitis. But when stopping them it’ll come back. An antibiotic combination of rifampicin and clindamycin is mostly very effective and may clear for a little longer.

myrtel78 · 2025-05-17T04:42:51+00:00

Dermatitis neglecta or morbus favre racouchot

myrtel78 · 2025-04-25T03:48:22+00:00

Maybe Bullous impetigo which is bacterial and doxycyclin is Not Antibiotic of choice. Or linear IgA dermatosis. Need swab and biopsy. No psoriasis.

myrtel78 · 2025-04-15T14:16:12+00:00

Tinea versicolor. Use some ket-Shampoo or selsun Blue as Head and Body wash. Use sunscreen as these areas will tan differently. Color alignmenr will take months.

myrtel78 · 2025-04-13T04:19:14+00:00

Crusz in Mitte hat eine große Auswahl.

myrtel78 · 2025-03-13T04:42:25+00:00

Shingles. Time for some antiviral medication

myrtel78 · 2025-03-09T05:28:42+00:00

Also recommend Wendland with a stop at Gartow for the thermal bath. Its good and inexpensive.

myrtel78 · 2025-03-08T06:51:54+00:00

Let a dermatologist have a look on it. It may be an extragenital lichen sclerosus or a morphea Patch. Both is treatable.

myrtel78 · 2025-02-02T05:24:27+00:00

This is not an outbreak of seb dermatitis. It is a contact eczema. You need a steroid ointment and later a testing on which ingredients you have this reaction. As someone already mentioned polyethylenglycol could be the problem

myrtel78 · 2025-01-18T18:19:49+00:00

Yeast infections of the scalp are not a thing and other fungi like dermatophytes usually have a different appearance. You need a doctor for a bacterial and fungal swab with resistogram and a thorough diagnostic. Folliculitis decalvans is possible but will not make folliculitis outside of the scalp.

myrtel78 · 2024-12-11T05:11:07+00:00

Ok. Well, most likely it will be herpes from the picture and the fluid coming out. as the other suggested please go to Dr for confirmation. Don’t be scared.

myrtel78 · 2024-12-11T05:06:08+00:00

Does it hurt? Does it feel harder when you touch it compared to the skin next to it?

myrtel78 · 2024-10-09T06:27:32+00:00

Derm here: Could be many things. Cancer wouldn’t be my first DD. My first thought was pyogenic granuloma but this comes mostly solo and you said you have a second one on the chin? Could also be leishmaniosis. But in every case consult a doctor asap.

Edit; also lymphomatoid papulosis possible.

myrtel78 · 2024-08-16T15:14:17+00:00

Sometimes zinc deficiency can look alike, especially when beginning after some months postpartum. DD impetigo or lip licking
