I have had a Ultra sound as i have a lump on this side (suspect hernia) !!! under the skin
I have numbness on my skin near my belly button area and right side,?
If you have a hernia then the pressure from it presses on the nerves and can cause the numbness.
I have numbness on my skin near my belly button area and right side,?
have you thought about trying acupuncture?
Reply:Hi, When their is a lack of sensation / numbness to the skin this is usually caused by some sort of interruption to the nervous supply ( called neuropathy) . Due to injury or pressure on the nerve pathways supplying that area. Therefore it would seem that your Lump/Hernia is responsible. When it has been dealt with the sensation will return but may take some time to do so. So good luck and hope you get sorted out soon.

Harg lump/bump under...?
I have this small pea sike lump/bump on the back of my neck(it's under the skin). It doesn't hurt, just bothers me that it's there. I had my dr check it out and she said to just leave it alone. Has anyone else had something like this.
thanks for and advice/input.
Harg lump/bump under...?
It is probably a lymph node or a sebaceous cyst. Watch it closely. If it grows quickly (within a few weeks or months) and gets large get it checked out right away! Sebaceous cysts are common and usually will not cause any problems. It will simply be a little bump under the skin that you can play with when you're bored. If it is irritated or causes any kind of pain, make sure it gets checked out.

It may be a cyst. If it bothers you you can ask to have it removed. But it is hard to tell since we cannot see it.
Did you ask your doctor specifically what it was? If she can't answer you than you might want to seek out a second opinion.
My husband had a cyst on his back between the shoulder blades that became badly infected.
He had an epidermal cyst and needed antibiotics to stop the infection. He may still need to have it surgically removed. It was small, about the size of a walnut and had never bothered him until the infection. If this is what you have it may be better to have it removed rather than risk infection.

Reply:It is called a cyst.
It comes in all sizes and forms a bump under the skin. If it grows, ask for a biopsy.
Reply:i had the same thing , got told the same as you. since then ive developed more lumps, chronic fatique, and hair loss , i got a new doctor now they think i have hodgkins lymphoma ;please get a 2nd oppinion,,, see i even have rib pain and bone pain as well. good luck
Reply:It is probably a lymph node. I have the same thing. They are called cervical lymph nodes. I have one under my jaw and one in the back of my neck. My son also has one in his neck as well. Both our CT were negative. They usually swell from a local infection. Cavity, dandruff, acne, common colds. And it is possible that they do not show up until after the symptoms subside and some times they don't go away. However if you notice that it is getting larger, %26gt;1 inch, you have fevers, night sweats get it checked again. they scared the crap out of me with my son thinking that he had non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Reply:you should get a scan of some sort. dont worry about being to aggresive to your doctors because it is YOUR health not theirs. It could be Melanoma or skin cancer. You really should get it checked.
Reply:This is probably either a small lymph node ( everybody has them ) or possible a skin lesion. It is good that your doc said it was OK but it should not get bigger.If it does do back, or go to someone else. If it's going to bother you go to another physician anyway, docs are not God.
Reply:go and seek another doctor.i myself have breast cancer my first doctor even after a mammo said that i was fine but still in pain i went to a whole new team of doctors and found out quickly that i have cancer ive been through chemo and now im going to have a mastectomy im very happy that i found out because it could have killed me and that was 9mos.ago and im making a strong fight so please check with another doctor just to make sure .

What is this rash on the cat's skin?
She has these grey/black lumps on her skin, paw/chin/bum. She's had one before over her eye and it was just gone after two three days but there are lots now. Are they bugs under the skin or bites? Do we need to do something or just let it be like the first time?
What is this rash on the cat's skin?
Even a vet wouldn't attempt a diagnosis like this, we can't see your pets and can't do any tests. Take your pet to the vet and if you're lucky it'll be something straightforward like ticks.
Even if someone else's pet has a similar sounding problem it may not be identical. Don't mess about with advice from 10 different people and 10 different home remedies, just go to the vet.
Skin mites burrow into the skin and yes, you may be able to see them. They need veterinary treatment.

Reply:Take to vet ask a vet to be sure
Reply:ah i just read your answers as i was hoping someone might tell you what they were and if any the treatment for it as my dog as the same problem they dont seem to bother him though and as you said there under the skin so they cant be mites as they are visauble from the outside of the skin yes he,s had these before so if you get any positive answers let me know please :-) cheers
Reply:Your cat might have a skin problem do bring her to a vet to check it out or u might wanna find ur answer from http://www.vetinfo.com/cacne.html
if u cant get any answers at all.
Reply:sounds like she has either an allergy, fleas can cause an allegy in some cats, take her to the vets anyway as the only action really is to get treatment sooner better than later. It the sores are open try a VERY weak solution of warm salty water gently bathed over affected areas.
Reply:Could be a flea or tick bites but check at the vet for your cat health
Reply:It sounds like your cat might have mites, or tics and a really bad case of them at that you should take her to the vet for treatment.
Reply:I've always had cats, and one of my favourites no longer with me, was allergic to fleas. The bites would appear like you have described, hard and scabby, and I would know to treat all of the cats then. Buy a flea collar and see if the problem disappears in a week to 10 days. If your cat appears otherwise healthy and is eating properly, dont panic, but if the problem doesnt go away, its time to write a cheque for the vet. good luck
Reply:There are many things which could cause this; flea allergy, mites under the skin, ticks, insect bites, food allergies; whatever it is, DONT just "wait for it to go away" How would you like it if some maggots were burrowing under your skin and the doc said "wait for it to go away"? Whatever is is, your cat is in pain and discomfort- just because it cant say "Ouch, it hurts" doesnt meean he is fine!! Get him to a vet, fast. Home remedies do not work, and all the while you are trying them, your cat is in pain and the condition is getting worse. SICK CATS NEED VETS%26gt;
Reply:Sounds like ticks to me. They burrow their head under the skin and feed on the blood getting larger and larger. When they have had enough they just drop off. Don't try to pull them off or the head gets left behind and gets infected. Cats pick them up in the garden and there isn't a lot you can do to stop them apart from using something like Frontline. If in doubt always ask your vet.
Reply:could be little flea bites and have been itching badly by thier claws when they scratch

Small mark under vein on hand... What's the deal?
I recently noticed a small, dark spot under my skin near a vein, like a vein broke or I got a bruise or something. It's been on my hand for probably a month, maybe more. There is no pain or swelling, that I notice... just the discoloration. Also, there seem to be a couple of tiny, thin red lines near the darker spot.
Should I be concerned? There are no other marks like this anywhere else on my body, and no other symptoms or anything out of the ordinary that I can tell.
Thanks for your feedback! I get paranoid pretty easily. :)
Small mark under vein on hand... What's the deal?
As you said, it could have been a small subcutaneous hemorrhage from a broken vein, more possibly a capillary. It could also be a developing hemangioma, or even what is called, a spider angioma, since you describe small tiny red lines. Nothing to be worried about. But keep watching it for changes, or increase in size. Then, you will have to see a doc. If you are worried about a melanoma, rest assured, since it does not sound like one. Remember, do NOT poke it, or keep on touching or irritating/stimulating it. All the best!

My cat has a lump under his chin?
my cat has a lump under his chin, under the skin, it doent seem to be bothering him and i have felt it briefly and it seems fairly soft? any idea what it could be?
My cat has a lump under his chin?
My friend's cat had one and it was just a popped blood vessel. The vet drained it a little and the cat was fine. Good Luck!

i wouldnt worry about this too much. they probably just got a bug bite. but if it is serious, i would go see a vet and ask what they think is wrong.
Reply:it could be an abscess but you should take him to the vet thats the only person who is qualified to tell you what it is and what treatment is required
Reply:if it is soft then it probably nothing too serious- however any lump needs to be seen by a vet soon
Reply:it could be a bug bite, or just something that was always there. if you said under the skin, that takes away the idea of an engorged tick. I don't know. Sometimes they have this on horses, and it's no big deal. Call your vet and just ask him what it could be, you probably shouldnt have to drive there or anything. It doesnt sound that serious
Reply:Sometimes cats will get a bump or bumps on their chin from their food bowl. Have you changed dishes, or does the cat really spend a lot of time with his face in the bowl? Sometimes a metal bowl or lower edged bowl can help.
Reply:That could be serious, I would get to a vet. If it is cancer, it can be cut off if caught early, and cured. It also could be feline acne, which is also very serious because it can spread into the system and cause a serious infection.
Reply:Sometimes it is the small things that can be serious. Best to take your cat to the vet ASAP to have it checked out as some things can only be treated if seen to in the early stages. Then again it could be nothing but the peace of mind is well worth it. If you are low on cash perhaps you could call the vet and speak to someone there. they may ask you questions about it and let you know what they think it could be and if it is worth seeing the vet.

I have a small lump under my left armpit, could it be cancerous?
A few days ago I noticed a small lump under my armpit. I just gave birth 6 weeks ago and I wonder if it has anything to do with hormones. It is kind of sore to the touch. It is right under the skin, not deep at all. I'm 27 years old and I'm hoping that this is not cancerous but I'm pretty nervous about it.

Go see a doctor just incase that way you will know for sure what it is

Reply:It's probably a blocked milk duct (that happened to me) but be sure to talk with your doctor about it.
Reply:Probably a swollen gland, changes in hormones can make them swell; especially that one. But nevertheless, it needs to be checked out by a doc, just to make sure:)
Reply:It's probably your lymph node. Check it out with the doctor, he can give you the right meds and advice for you.
Reply:It's most likely an ingrown hair.... or it could be a form of acne.... does it have a head... I've known people who have had red bumps under their armpits and they were ingrown hairs that probably what it is. This is caused alot of the times by not shaving enough or not consistently. Don't skip days!

I have a circular rash on my skin. what is is?
the rash started out looking red, like dry skin -- I scratched it and then it appeared to get redder, as is slightly bleeding under the skin. It is a complete circle and very large -- on my breast. i am pregnant. It doesn't hurt but is very obvious. what the hell is it?
I have a circular rash on my skin. what is is?
I am not a doctor, but I will soon be going to school for nursing and it sounds like to me it may be ring worm. It isnt anything very serious, just call your docs office and schedule an appointment and they can give a cream or antibiotics.
