Differential diagnosis of swelling (formation, lump) in the neck and its treatment

Types of seals on the back

Atheroma, it is called a sebaceous gland cyst. It can occur under the shoulder blade or elsewhere on the back. Atheroma is often diagnosed. Occurs due to blockage of the sebaceous duct. If the sebaceous gland is not functioning properly, the ducts close. As a result, an accumulation of purulent fluid occurs. The ball is located under the skin. In advanced cases, the size exceeds a chicken egg; at the initial stage, the size of the atheroma does not exceed a pea. The sebaceous gland expands in size. This is a dense and mobile formation, its diagnosis does not cause difficulties. The danger is that with increased size, the atheroma can burst and infect surrounding tissues.
A ball under the skin on the back means a lipoma or wen. This is a harmless growth of adipose tissue. Does not develop into a malignant formation. Causes cosmetic discomfort to patients. Wen appears anywhere on the skin where there is fatty tissue. The lump on the back under the skin does not hurt when pressed. On palpation, a soft and mobile tumor is felt.
Fibroma is a benign tumor formed from connective tissue. It occurs on the back and any other part of the body. A compaction with clear boundaries that can be felt when pressed. Usually the color of fibroma does not differ from the skin, but sometimes it can be bluish-red. There are two types of fibroids: hard and soft. The first looks like a hard lump, and the soft fibroma hangs over the skin.
A hemangioma is a red bump on the skin. Can be big or small. It is a collection of small blood vessels. Hemangioma injures surrounding tissues and in some cases can grow rapidly.
A furuncle is a purulent and inflammatory process in the hair follicle. It develops as a result of bacteria entering the layers of the skin through microtraumas. The boil grows quickly. The lump on the back hurts when pressed and is bright red. Swelling of the surrounding tissues is pronounced. To the touch it is a hard, spherical and hot seal. It is dense and mobile. With severe inflammation, throbbing pain, fever, and deterioration in general health are possible.
Myogelosis is a disease usually found in novice athletes. For beginners, the back muscles are poorly trained. During high physical activity they experience a lot of pressure. The result is myogelosis or growth on the spine.
Malignant neoplasms have recently become more common. They can appear in people of any age. A tumor appears on the back due to osteosarcoma. This is a growth on the bone tissue that causes a lump to appear. The main cause of occurrence is chronic osteomyelitis.

The lump can grow alone or several compactions form at once. They can merge with each other. If the tumor is subcutaneous, then the doctor will not be able to determine with one palpation how many lumps are growing at the same time.

Why do red lumps appear on the skin?

The compaction under the skin can be either single or multiple. Lumps on the body under the skin may turn out to be rheumatoid nodules.

Bumps are formations on the skin that have a dense structure. The size and location of the bumps depends on the reasons for their occurrence. Bumps and swellings on the skin often appear spontaneously in a person, for no apparent reason.

The cause of the bumps determines the duration of the symptom. Bumps on the skin of the back, arms, legs, etc. appear in people quite often and can be completely asymptomatic. In most cases, even large lumps, clearly visible even in photographs, are benign formations.

Therefore, it is advisable to consult a doctor not only if there are aesthetic inconveniences (for example, if bumps appear on the face under the skin), but also if any other formations appear.

The lump may be a cyst. Subcutaneous bumps on the human body appear after a blow or injury. Also, bumps on the human body are sometimes a sign of inflammation of the lymph nodes, the development of an infectious disease, or the appearance of a tumor.

Bumps on the body often appear after insect bites. People suffering from lipoma develop bumps on their bodies, both very small and quite impressive in size.

With folliculitis, sometimes the red bumps on the body become itchy. However, it should be taken into account that bumps on the body itch in other diseases.

Large red bumps on the face and body may appear due to infection in the human body. Another reason for the appearance of bumps on different parts of the body is skin cancer.

With oncological pathologies, bumps can be of different colors - both dark and normal.

Due to hemangioma, bumps appear on the scalp, as well as on other parts of the body. This cone is red in color and has a dense or soft consistency. Bumps on the skin appear due to the development of an intradermal cyst. Such formations are dense, can have different sizes, and the color of the skin does not change when they appear.

What threat does a lump under the skin pose?

Warts on the body are nodules or bumps that have different sizes; the skin color remains natural or acquires a reddish tint.

It should be borne in mind that the skin in intimate places is particularly sensitive, so damage may appear on it even after rubbing against clothing or after shaving.

If bumps on a person’s body appear as a result of an infection, then treatment may include taking antibiotics and drugs from the group of antifungal agents.

If the appearance of bumps is associated with cysts, then in some cases such formations heal on their own. If the cyst becomes inflamed, the patient may be given cortisone injections. Otherwise, with some diseases, re-growth of the compaction is possible.

Everything about skin formations

Such formations can be lipomas, moles, and small non-inflamed cysts. There are several types of skin cancer; the most common are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Melanoma can develop almost anywhere - on completely normal skin, or in a mole that becomes cancerous. In men, melanoma most often appears on the trunk, head, and neck; for women - on their feet. In people with dark skin, melanoma often develops on the palms and soles of the feet, and under the nails.

If skin cancer is diagnosed, further tests are ordered to determine its stage. Skin cancer is usually divided into local, which develops only on the skin, and metastatic, which begins to spread to other organs.

It should be noted that when surgically removing lumps and lumps under the skin, it is important to completely remove all the neoplasm.

Lumps under the skin: what they are, what to do

A person’s face is the basis and indicator of his appearance, and any defect will be visible to others.

In this regard, a person constantly strives to ensure that the skin of the face always looks flawless and the seals that appear under the skin cause close attention.

A person is in greatest contact with the external environment, which puts him in a high-risk group. New skin growths in the facial area occur quite often, this is due to a number of reasons, and we will talk about them in this publication.

The main types of neoplasms on the facial skin

Conventionally, we can distinguish 3 main groups of skin tumors:

benign neoplasms on the skin and dense formations: moles, papillomas, fibromas, lipomas, hemangiomas, atheromas, acne (including milia - white dots on the nose and other parts of the face);
malignant formations on the skin and subcutaneous seals: sarcomas, basal cell carcinomas, melanomas;
neoplasms and compactions with a high risk of developing oncology: senile keratomas, Bowen's dermatoses, xeroderma pigmentosum, cutaneous horns, diseases of general etiology with a tendency to develop pathological tissues.

Mole

A mole or birthmark is a pigmented formation on the skin that is congenital or acquired. They can be different in color (from red to black) and located: at the level of the skin, or rise above the surface of the skin. Most often found on the face. In most cases there is no danger.

However, with periodic mechanical trauma (for example, when shaving) or increased sensitivity of human skin to ultraviolet radiation, they can degenerate into malignant skin tumors. In this case, there are indications for getting rid of the mole. They need to be removed in a timely manner to avoid dire consequences.

Causes of moles

Among the reasons for the formation of moles on the skin, the most common are the following:

hereditary factor;
ultraviolet radiation;
hormonal imbalances;
radioactive radiation;
mechanical trauma.

Ways to remove moles

There are several methods for removing moles from human skin:

laser removal;
electrocoagulation (exposure to electric current);
radiosurgery;
surgical removal;
conservative therapy.

You can watch the procedure for removing a mole using the radio wave method in the following video:

Papilloma

Papillomas are skin tumors of various types and shapes that are of viral origin. They are provoked by the presence in the human body of one of 27 types of viruses, generalized into a group called “human papillomaviruses”.

These skin neoplasms appear in the form of warts of various types and shapes, visually represented by growths on the skin (they do not contain pus). They can appear on various parts of the skin and mucous membranes: on the face, on the hand, on the genitals, in the mouth, and so on.

Penetration of the virus into the body occurs through mucous membranes or damage to the skin (a household route of infection through common objects or contamination from dirty hands is possible).

Therapy for human papillomavirus

To date, there is no therapeutic regimen that promotes complete cure. However, when papillomas are widespread throughout the skin, it is recommended to use immunomodulatory drugs.

Single papillomas are recommended for removal for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.

For removal, a method of surgical intervention (laser, scalpel) or a destruction method is used, which provokes the death of the wart and its gradual falling off.

Fibroma

Fibromas are skin tumors that, under the influence of internal or external factors leading to weakened immunity, manifest themselves in the form of a benign tumor of small or medium size, growing from fibrous tissue (does not contain pus).

The etiology of fibroma is not fully understood, since growth can be provoked by various factors: stressful conditions, hormonal imbalances, and so on. This lump does not pose any danger and is recommended for removal only as part of aesthetic practice.

The most important thing is to use a laser or scalpel to remove the formation. The likelihood of relapse is minimal.

Lipoma

A lipoma (can be called a wen) is a benign lump under the skin, which is formed from connective tissue and can appear even in an absolutely healthy person.

The main reasons for the appearance of such a lump are: heredity, metabolic disorders associated with blocking the pathways of fat breakdown. Such skin thickening does not pose a danger to life and health. Removal is recommended only for aesthetic reasons if the wen is large enough.

Therapy is presented in two options: surgical removal by enucleation or the use of steroid injections that provoke the destruction of fatty tissue.

Hemangioma

Hemangioma is a skin growth (red bumps, often irregular in shape, similar to moles) that can be either hereditary or acquired. Hereditary hemangiomas usually appear in infancy and go away on their own over time.

Acquired hemangiomas are associated with intoxication of the body and the inability of the liver to cope with toxins. There are almost no such growths on the skin of the face. If such formations nevertheless appear on the face, therapy is recommended, since mechanical damage may result in severe bleeding.

Choose conservative treatment using a special drug or removal by chemical, electrical or surgical methods.

Main features and differences

Before you sound the alarm and run to the doctor, you can figure out the reasons for the appearance of unwanted lumps yourself. And if all the signs completely coincide with the descriptions, and the cause turns out to be insignificant, then you can get rid of the swelling yourself

But, pay attention! If the red bumps itch and enlarge, if their localization grows, and they appear for no apparent reason, it is better to consult a doctor immediately

Diagnosis by a dermatologist

We also recommend that you consult a medical professional if you notice similar problems in your child. He will not be able to accurately answer whether the tumor itches and when exactly it appeared.

One of the most common causes is an allergic reaction of the body to some irritant. This is especially common in young children. When you notice small red spots on the body that cause itching (see photo), you should take an antihistamine in accordance with the age of the victim. Allergies can be caused by numerous external irritants, the most common being:

household chemicals, detergents, washing and cleaning products;
food products, most often sugar for a child;
medicines;
cosmetics and perfumes;
pollen of flowering plants;
dust and mold;
animal fur.

Allergic rash in a child

Note! Anything can be an allergen

It is important to identify him as quickly as possible and completely limit contact with him. A rash alone may not be enough

More severe forms may include swelling and difficulty breathing. In this case, you should immediately call an ambulance

The rash alone may not be enough. More severe forms may include swelling and difficulty breathing. In this case, you should immediately call an ambulance.

Many people have small lipomas on their bodies, but some don’t even know what they are. Benign tumors made of fat cells can be located where there is most fat tissue. They are dense and quite elastic; they can be quite small in size, or can reach 2-3 cm in diameter. As a rule, lipomas do not cause discomfort or itch, see photo. But if there is an inflammatory process in the body, the bumps on the body itch. There may be a lot of them on the arms and legs. It is recommended to periodically undergo examination by an oncologist.

When an infection enters the human body, the lymph nodes are most often the first to react to its appearance. They become inflamed and red, and quickly increase in size. If the lump on the head itches and is located behind the ears, then most likely it is a lymph node. When pressing on it, pain occurs. These are quite dense formations that can change their location, causing discomfort. These red bumps are a filter for the blood; they trap the infectious agent. They should be treated strictly according to the doctor’s recommendation. Lymph nodes can also be located on the arms, legs, neck, and head.

Insect bites are the least dangerous, but they also require attention and additional treatment of damaged skin. If the bumps on your legs itch from bites, then you should take any antihistamine and treat the bite area with special means.

Important! Without knowing the exact cause of the appearance of tumors, you do not need to start treating them yourself!

The body itches and red bumps appear

Any change in the skin should cause concern.
If redness, bumps, or rashes appear, you should consult a dermatologist. Remember that the skin reflects our internal state. And if pimples and redness form on the skin, it means a hidden pathological process is occurring in the body.

Often, based on the symptoms of a dermatological disease, doctors identify much more serious diseases, the onset of which the patient is not even aware of.

Why do symptoms occur?

Among the reasons that lead to the formation of tubercles on the back and arms, dermatologists identify the following:

Wet or dry eczema.
Allergic dermatitis.
Rash as a result of hormonal imbalance.
Infectious diseases.
Lichen.

But in order to identify the absolutely exact cause, it is important to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient.

Eczema

The itchy bumps on the arm shown in the photo indicate the development of eczema. At the first signs of the disease, the patient tries to get rid of them with the help of local medications. However, pastes and ointments provide only a short-term effect. The fact is that eczema is a consequence of internal changes. When diagnosing eczema, dermatologists check the patient for:

Allergies.
Hormonal imbalance.
Inflammatory processes occurring in the body in a latent form.

To prescribe therapy for eczema, doctors conduct a detailed examination of the patient.

Allergic dermatitis

If red spots appear on your back and itch, the development of allergic dermatitis may have begun. In this case, the entire body may become covered with itchy bumps. More often the disease begins in the arms or legs. What can trigger the onset of the disease? Any allergen.

Today, doctors identify several allergens that can cause severe allergic reactions:

Pollen of plants and flowers.
Animal fur.
Products with a high content of chemical additives.
Clothes made from synthetic fabrics.

If the bumps on the body itch, caused by an allergic reaction of the body to an external irritant, it is necessary to immediately apply therapeutic measures. Only a doctor can identify the allergen and prescribe the correct therapy. Therefore, when the first symptoms of the disease appear, it is important to promptly consult a dermatologist.

To achieve success in treatment, it is important to stop the influence of the allergen on the body. Therapy should include taking antihistamines, hepatoprotectors, and enterosorbents.

Hormonal rash

This is a type of rash that occurs on the skin due to hormonal imbalances in the body. The disease most often occurs in young people, when hormonal levels have not yet been established.

If a lump appears and itches, you should not expect it to go away on its own. The sooner treatment is started, the higher the likelihood of a complete recovery without negative consequences.

The following symptoms are characteristic of furunculosis:

Lumps appear on the back, chest and face, the lower and upper limbs remain clear.
The rash can be varied, but often there are bumps with induration.
Furunculosis itches and becomes very easily infected with pathogenic bacteria.
The presence of the disease does not affect general well-being, but it causes a lot of trouble due to the deterioration of external attractiveness.

To treat acne, which we see in the photo, dermatologists use complex methods, including taking vitamins, antihistamines and hepatoprotectors. Therapy takes from several weeks to months.

Rubella

If a rash suddenly appears all over your body, including your head, palms and legs, and it itches, and there is a short-term increase in temperature, it makes sense to get tested for the presence of the rubella virus.

This disease is dangerous only for pregnant women, as it can negatively affect the developing fetus. In all other situations, rubella is well tolerated and treated with antihistamines, vitamin complexes and plenty of fluids.

Montgomery tubercles

During the period of bearing a child and breastfeeding, light tubercles may appear on the nipples of women. They usually do not cause any inconvenience. And at the end of the feeding period, the tubercles disappear on their own.

Scientists claim that Montgomery formations protect the nipple halo from drying out and infection. Often, during feeding, cracks appear on the nipples, causing a lot of pain to the woman. If you follow the rules of personal hygiene, the wounds will heal quickly.

And thanks to the Montgomery tubercles and the secretion they contain, pathogenic bacteria will not get into the milk and infect the baby.

You should consult a specialist only if the bump on the skin itches and hurts. If there are no painful symptoms, then there is no need to worry. On the contrary, the bumps on the areola are an additional protective factor for mother and baby.

Eventually

Itchy bumps on the body are a consequence of internal pathological changes in the body. You should not expect this manifestation to go away on its own. Itching, redness and rashes on the skin should be cause for concern. At the first appearance of unpleasant symptoms, you should visit a dermatologist. Only a doctor will make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment.

Various rashes sometimes appear on the skin of the face, inflammatory processes and redness of an unknown nature begin. Most often, acne appears, as well as bumps on the skin of the face, the appearance of which is shown in the photo. It is necessary to understand exactly why they appeared, what they are and how to get rid of them correctly so as not to harm the body.

What are bumps on the skin

Lumps have appeared on the skin of the face (photos of small lumps that can be found on the forehead, cheeks or chin are presented below) - there can be many reasons for this, depending on them, such formations can be divided into several groups.

To find out what triggered their appearance, you need to seek help from a dermatologist, undergo a full examination, establish the cause and choose the right treatment package.

To correctly determine the cause of the appearance of tubercles, you need to take a blood test and make a smear of the dermis. Only after receiving the results of the examination will it be possible to say what led to the appearance of the tubercles.

Types of bumps on the skin

There are several types of bumps that often appear on the skin of the face:

Abscess. This is a lump under the skin that appears after an infection has occurred. A compaction of this kind is quite dense and all because a clot of pus collects in the lesion. Such a lump often provokes an increase in a person’s body temperature and has a red, inflamed appearance. It will not be possible to squeeze out the abscess or remove it surgically; it will form again. The abscess can be removed only after the infection has resolved.
Intradermal cystic formation. This is a solid formation from which thick secretions come to the surface. It appears most often due to malfunctions in the secretion of the sebaceous glands. Such a formation can be cured only if you undergo a full course of anti-inflammatory therapy, and it should be prescribed by a doctor after a complete examination of the patient.
Rheumatoid nodes. They appear due to inflammation affecting the lymphatic system. If the disease is treated incorrectly, the result is deformation in the joints, which is expressed in the form of bumps that appear in the facial area.
Lipomas (wen) are small bumps that have the ability to move under the skin if you lightly press on them with your finger. Most often they appear in the eye area and on the cheeks. These balls are small in size and do not cause any pain to a person, unless they begin to grow. If lipomas increase in size, they cause discomfort to a person and can cause pain when pressed. They can also damage the tissues located next to the formation.
Malignant lump. Its shape is no different from other bumps on the face. At the initial stage of the disease, it does not manifest itself in any way, and it can be difficult to detect visually. Only when it begins to increase in size and damage nearby tissues, a red pimple may appear on the surface of the skin. In the future, it can grow slowly or quickly, causing discomfort and pain.

About the subcutaneous boil

A boil is a purulent inflammation of the skin. There are many reasons for its appearance:

obesity;
diabetes;
metabolic disorders;
intestinal disorder;
abrasions and cuts.

Boils are painful subcutaneous pimples on the face that are accompanied by pain at the slightest touch. At the base of this formation there is a purulent rod, and at its tip there is a head filled with purulent fluid. Often they try to remove it to remove the pus, but this only leads to worse consequences: the boil begins to increase in size, damaging more and more tissue. Many, not understanding the danger, try to squeeze out the unfortunate pimple, enduring extreme pain when pressed. But the inflammatory process can only deepen into the skin with such actions.

Manifestation of furunculosis

Under no circumstances should you apply compresses; they only create excess moisture, which contributes to the development and enlargement of acne. To reduce the size of the formation, it is necessary to dry the skin; even heating helps to reduce the inflammatory process and its faster maturation. An abscess will gradually form, which should be lubricated with a special ointment with the addition of an antibiotic; you must first consult a doctor. He will analyze the condition of the pimple and give recommendations for its removal.

Important! Subcutaneous boils on the face are treated comprehensively. It is mandatory to prescribe a course of medications for external and internal use, as well as a complex of vitamins to cleanse the blood

A preliminary examination is carried out, which is aimed at finding out the cause of the disease.

Causes of allergies

Recently, allergies have become increasingly common in children. The most common symptoms of allergies are dermatoses of varying severity, the treatment of which is not always possible the first time. But as the child ages, the manifestations change, and skin diseases are replaced by new symptoms, sometimes up to the development of bronchial asthma, which negatively affects health, and treatment turns out to be difficult and costly.

The immune system reacts individually to the irritant, that is, each child experiences allergies in a unique way, which is provoked by many factors. The most common among them are:

heredity (if the mother is allergic, then it is possible that the child will also be prone to allergies);
decreased immunity;
parasitic infestations;
diseases of the digestive and urinary system;
lack of vitamins and microelements, improper nutritional diet;
psychosomatic pathologies.

Allergy in a child's face

Reasons for appearance

Subcutaneous neoplasms appear for various reasons. They are classified according to the etiological factor.

The following types of formations may appear under the skin:

Abscess. It looks like a hard lump filled with pus. Hyperemia (redness) appears around the perimeter of the neoplasm. Local temperatures are rising. In advanced cases, an abscess threatens to spread the infectious process throughout the body.
Intradermal cyst. It is a compaction on the face in the form of a ball under the skin of varying sizes. It can also appear on the jaw.
Hemangioma is a painless lump under the skin on the face in the form of a hard or soft red lump. As a rule, hemangiomas go away on their own without treatment.
Lipoma is a painless and harmless growth under the skin. It looks like a ball and moves freely when pressed. This seal does not pose a danger to life; it is removed solely for aesthetic reasons.
Cancerous bumps look like a slight compaction. In the early stages of development they do not manifest themselves at all.
Hygromas are dense, inactive balls under the skin. Very rare on the face. Hygromas do not hurt, do not cause discomfort, and can very rarely itch. The main problem in their occurrence lies in the presence of psychological discomfort. Sometimes the hygroma disappears after an accidental blow or strong pressure.
Atheroma can occur as a result of a hormonal imbalance or a deterioration in the outflow of sebaceous gland secretions. This cone is mobile and has a dense structure. The swelling can quickly increase in size. The purulent form of the pathology causes severe pain, deterioration of health, and increased body temperature.
Fibroma is a benign growth inside the skin. It is a small compaction that does not contain pus. Most often, fibroma appears as a result of prolonged stressful situations or hormonal imbalance. It can only be removed as part of aesthetic treatment.

Fibroma on the face

Milia is a type of acne. These neoplasms look like small bodily pimples or bumps on the skin. They cause mainly cosmetic inconvenience. They do not cause pain or itching.

Reasons why subcutaneous lumps appear in the facial area:

hormonal disorders;
cold;
poor diet with consumption of large amounts of harmful foods;
consumption of alcoholic beverages;
smoking;
allergies;
pathologies of the nervous and endocrine systems;
injuries;
unfavorable heredity;
prolonged exposure to heat or cold;
penetration of infection;
improper use of cosmetics;
failure to comply with the rules of hygienic skin care.

Lumps and lumps under the skin

Various formations under the skin: bumps, balls, compactions, tumors - this is a common problem that almost every person faces. In most cases, these formations are harmless, but some of them require emergency treatment.

Lumps and lumps under the skin can develop on any part of the body: face, arms and legs, back, abdomen, etc.

Sometimes these formations are hidden in the folds of the skin, on the scalp, or grow so slowly that they remain unnoticed for a long time and are discovered when they reach large sizes.

Benign neoplasms of the skin and soft tissues usually proceed asymptomatically.

Lumps or lumps that cause pain or discomfort are often the result of infection. They may be accompanied by an increase in general or local temperature. The skin over them usually turns red. Associated disorders occur: general malaise, headache, weakness, etc. With timely treatment, such formations usually go away quickly.

Much less common are malignant neoplasms of the skin and underlying tissues, which can be palpated or noticed on your own. You need to be able to recognize these diseases in time and consult a doctor as soon as possible. Below we outline the most common skin lesions that may cause concern.

Lumps under the skin most often turn out to be lipomas. These are benign, completely safe tumors from fat cells. Lipoma can be felt under the skin as a soft formation with clear boundaries, sometimes with a bumpy surface. The skin over the lipoma is of normal color and density, easily folded.

Most often, lipomas appear on the scalp, neck, armpits, chest, back and thighs. When they reach large sizes, they can cause pain by squeezing neighboring organs or muscles. Find out more about how to get rid of lipoma.

Atheroma is often confused with lipoma, also called a wen. In fact, it is a cyst, that is, a stretched sebaceous gland in which the excretory duct is blocked. The contents of the atheroma, sebum, gradually accumulates, stretching the capsule of the gland.

To the touch it is a dense, round formation with clear boundaries. The skin over the atheroma cannot be folded; sometimes the surface of the skin takes on a bluish color and you can see a point on it - a blocked duct. Atheroma can become inflamed and fester. If necessary, it can be removed by a surgeon.

This is a dense, inactive ball under the skin, which most often appears on the wrist in the form of a lump.

Hygroma does not hurt or cause harm, it causes only cosmetic discomfort, and when located in rarer places, for example, on the palm, it can interfere with daily work.

With an accidental blow, the hygroma can disappear, since it is an accumulation of fluid between the fibers of the tendon and bursts under mechanical stress. Read more about hygroma and its treatment.

Various joint diseases: arthritis and arthrosis are often accompanied by the appearance of small, hard, immobile nodules under the skin. Such formations in the elbow joint are called rheumatoid nodules and are characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis. Nodules on the extensor surface of the joints of the fingers - Heberden's and Bouchard's nodes accompany deforming osteoarthritis.

Gouty nodes - tophi, which are accumulations of uric acid salts and grow on the joints of people who have suffered from gout for many years, can reach a significant size.

A subcutaneous lump on the foot deserves special attention - a hard growth of the joint of the big toe, which is accompanied by valgus deformity - curvature of the toe. The bunion on the foot gradually grows, interferes with walking and creates difficulties in choosing shoes. Learn about the treatment of hallux valgus.

It feels like a soft protrusion under the skin, which can appear during exercise and disappear completely when lying down or at rest. A hernia forms in the navel, postoperative scar on the abdomen, in the groin, on the inner surface of the thigh. The hernia may be painful when palpated. Sometimes you can push it back in with your fingers.

A hernia is formed by the internal organs of the abdomen, which are squeezed out through weak spots in the abdominal wall during an increase in intra-abdominal pressure: when coughing, lifting heavy objects, etc. Find out whether a hernia can be cured using traditional methods, and why it is dangerous.

Most often accompanied by colds. Lymph nodes are small round formations that can be felt under the skin in the form of soft elastic balls the size of a pea to a plum, not fused to the surface of the skin.

Lymph nodes are located in groups in the neck, under the lower jaw, above and below the collarbones, in the armpits, in the elbows and knees, in the groin and other parts of the body. These are components of the immune system that, like a filter, pass interstitial fluid through themselves, clearing it of infection, foreign inclusions and damaged cells, including tumor cells.

An increase in the size of the lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), which become painful when palpated, usually accompanies infectious diseases: sore throat, otitis media, flux, panaritium, as well as wounds and burns. Treatment of the underlying disease leads to a reduction in the node.

If the skin over the lymph node turns red, and palpation becomes sharply painful, the development of lymphadenitis is likely - a purulent lesion of the node itself. In this case, you need to contact a surgeon. Minor surgery may be required, and early treatment can sometimes clear up the infection with antibiotics.

If a dense, tuberous formation is felt under the skin, and the skin above it cannot be folded, the node is likely damaged by a malignant tumor. In this case, consult an oncologist as soon as possible. Read more about other causes of swollen lymph nodes.

All these terms refer to small growths on the skin of various shapes: in the form of a polyp, a mole on a thin stalk, growths in the shape of a cockscomb or cauliflower, a hard nodule or papilla protruding above the surface. These lesions may be yellowish, pale, brown, or flesh-colored and have a smooth or flaky surface. Read more and look at photos of warts and papillomas.

Their causes are different: most often it is a viral infection, mechanical injury, hormonal disorders. Sometimes warts and papillomas grow “out of the blue,” for no apparent reason, and can be located on any part of the body, including the mucous membranes of the genital organs.

For the most part, these are harmless growths that cause only cosmetic discomfort or interfere with wearing clothes or underwear. However, the variety of their shapes, colors and sizes does not allow one to independently distinguish a benign wart, condyloma or soft fibroma from malignant skin diseases.

Therefore, if a suspicious growth appears on the skin, it is advisable to show it to a dermatologist or oncologist.

Almost every woman experiences breast lumps at various times in her life. In the second phase of the cycle, especially on the eve of menstruation, small lumps may be felt in the breasts. Usually, with the onset of menstruation, these formations disappear and they are associated with normal changes in the mammary glands under the influence of hormones.

If hardening or peas in the breast are palpable and after menstruation, it is advisable to contact a gynecologist who will examine the mammary glands and, if necessary, prescribe additional examination. In most cases, breast formations turn out to be benign; some of them are recommended to be removed, while others can be treated conservatively.

Reasons to urgently consult a doctor are:

rapid increase in the size of the node;
pain in the mammary glands, regardless of the phase of the cycle;
the formation does not have clear boundaries or the contours are uneven;
over the node there is retracted or deformed skin, an ulcer;
there is discharge from the nipple;
Enlarged lymph nodes can be felt in the armpits.

If these symptoms are detected, it is advisable to immediately contact a mammologist or, if such a specialist could not be found, an oncologist. Read more about the types of breast lumps and their treatment.

A whole group of skin lesions may be associated with infection. The most common cause of inflammation and suppuration is the bacterium staphylococcus. The skin in the affected area turns red, swelling and induration of varying sizes appear. The surface of the skin becomes hot and painful to the touch, and overall body temperature may also increase.

Sometimes inflammation quickly spreads across the skin, covering large areas. Such a diffuse lesion is characteristic of erysipelas (erysipelas). A more serious condition - phlegmon - is a purulent inflammation of the subcutaneous fatty tissue. Focal inflammatory diseases are common: carbuncle and furuncle, which are formed when hair follicles and sebaceous glands are damaged.

Surgeons treat purulent-inflammatory diseases of the skin and soft tissues. If redness, pain and swelling appear on the skin, accompanied by an increase in temperature, you should seek help as soon as possible. In the initial stages, the problem can be solved with the help of antibiotics; in more advanced cases, surgery must be resorted to.

Compared to other skin lesions, malignant tumors are very rare. As a rule, at first a focus of compaction or a nodule appears in the thickness of the skin, which gradually grows. Usually the tumor does not hurt or itch. The surface of the skin may be normal, flaky, crusty, or dark in color.

Signs of malignancy are:

uneven and unclear boundaries of the tumor;
enlargement of nearby lymph nodes;
rapid growth in education;
adhesion to the surface of the skin, inactivity when palpating;
bleeding and ulceration on the surface of the lesion.

A tumor can develop at the site of a mole, like melanoma. It can be located under the skin, like a sarcoma, or at the site of a lymph node - lymphoma. If you suspect a malignant skin tumor, you should contact an oncologist as soon as possible.

If you are concerned about formations on your body, find a good doctor using the NaPravku service:

a dermatologist - if the lump looks like a wart or papilloma;
surgeon - if surgical treatment of an abscess or benign tumor is required;
oncologist to rule out a tumor.

If you think that another specialist is needed, use our help section “Who Treats It”. There, based on your symptoms, you can more accurately decide on the choice of a doctor. You can also start with an initial diagnosis from a therapist.

Rheumatic bumps

Painless bumps in the form of subcutaneous nodules can be a manifestation of erythema nodosum, characteristic not only of rheumatism, but also of some severe infectious diseases, for example, erysipelas or tick-borne borreliosis. Rheumatism is a connective tissue disease in which mainly the membranes of the heart become inflamed, as well as large joints, such as the joints of the legs, knees or hip joints. Rheumatism of the back is diagnosed quite rarely and accounts for no more than 8.4% of the total number of patients with this diagnosis.

Cones with rheumatic inflammation of the spine are painless, have a dark red, purple or burgundy color and clear contours. The structure of the formations is dense, motionless (less often, inactive). The size of the nodules can range from a few millimeters to a chicken egg, and their occurrence is preceded by high fever and other symptoms, which may include:

intense aching pain in the back (mainly in the area where the nodules are located);
progressive curvature of the spine;
numbness, trembling in the limbs;
pale pink rash;
minor hemorrhages against the background of increased pallor of the skin;
increased sweating.

The disease is caused by an infectious pathogen - group A β-hemolytic streptococcus - and often develops after illnesses of the oropharynx (sore throat, tonsillitis, scarlet fever, pharyngitis).

How to treat rheumatism of the back?

In the acute phase of the disease, with the development of acute rheumatic fever, treatment is carried out in a hospital. The patient undergoes sanitation of foci of chronic infection (washing the tonsils or paranasal sinuses, treatment of carious teeth, etc.), and is prescribed bed rest, which is necessary to relieve stress from the affected joints.

Drug therapy for cutaneous rheumatism is carried out according to the scheme presented in the table below.

Table. Drugs for the treatment of rheumatic fever.

Pharmacological group	Drugs
Glucocorticosteroid hormones for relief of inflammatory processes and allergic reactions	"Hydrocortisone", "Dexamethasone", "Prednisolone".
Antihistamines	"Suprastin", "Claritin", "Loratadine", "Tavegil".
Antibiotics	"Amoxicillin", "Ciprolet", "Ciprofloxacin".
NSAIDs to reduce pain and inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins (inflammatory mediators)	"Ibuprofen", "Ketorolac", "Diclofenac".
Immunosuppressants, antiprotozoals and antimalarials	"Delagil", "Chloroquine".

Outside the exacerbation phase, the patient is shown restorative procedures and manipulations: massage, exercise therapy, paraffin therapy, physiotherapy (infrared irradiation, electrophoresis, UHF).

Types of allergic reactions that children are prone to

As stated, symptoms manifest differently in a child, depending on the origin of the allergy. Therefore, the following types of allergic origins are distinguished:

Food allergies - most often children of the first year are susceptible to pathology, who over time “outgrow” the disease. But it happens that allergy symptoms accompany a child throughout the entire period of growing up, which significantly complicates life, because adequate treatment is always required. The most powerful allergens are citrus products, strawberries, whole milk, seafood, fish, chips, nuts, honey;
Allergies due to environmental factors - aeroallergens fly in the air, and when they enter the respiratory system, they cause attacks;
Allergic reaction to pets - many people mistakenly believe that allergy symptoms in a child are caused by pet fur. However, children react more to saliva containing toxic substances. Moreover, dogs and walking cats often bring home infections and bacteria on their paws, so treatment is sometimes required for your pet;
Irritants in children are often medications; in particular, allergies occur to antibiotics, anesthetics, analgesics and some vitamins;
Allergy to house dust mites - microscopic parasites are easily inhaled and cause a negative immune reaction;
Chemicals contained in household detergents, synthetic fabrics, and low-quality toys negatively affect the child’s body, causing allergies;
Natural factors - stinging insect bites, contact with highly allergenic plants, sun, wind, low air temperatures negatively affect some children and lead to allergy symptoms;
Hay fever is a seasonal allergy, when a cluster of pollen grains with a high concentration of allergens floats in the air and leads to allergic reactions not only in children, but also in adults.

Important! Treatment for adults differs from treatment for children.

Food allergies in a child

Benign neoplasms

New growths on the skin, classified as benign, as can be seen in the photo and their description, are not prone to rapid growth, metastasis and relapse after removal.

Differences between benign and malignant moles.

These tumors include:

atheroma;
hemangioma;
lymphangioma;
warts;
moles (nevi);
fibromas, etc.

The structure of a lipoma (benign tumor, popularly called a wen)

View	Description
Atheroma	Damage to the sebaceous gland in the form of a cystic growth. Location: face. A raised formation, indistinguishable from normal skin in color, is tightly fused to it at one point. The contours are clear. Palpation of the atheroma is painless.
Hemangioma	Neoplasm of vascular origin, refers to childhood tumors. It can be either an independent disease or a manifestation of another pathology. The course depends on the patient’s age, location, size and depth to which the hemangioma has grown. Frequent locations are the head, face, neck, but other locations are also possible. The first manifestation is a red nodule (papule) up to 5 mm in diameter. Complaints include bleeding when accidentally touched, and sometimes dysfunction of the organ where the tumor is located.
Lymphangioma	There are two possible development options - a congenital defect or consequences of impaired lymph flow. The tumor can be located anywhere, but more often it is the oral cavity, neck, and upper limbs. Capillary lymphangiomas are multiple blisters with a yellowish transparent liquid inside. The same tumors that arose as a result of impaired lymph circulation look like plaques or spots, the diameter of which slowly increases.
Lipoma	Tumor of adipose tissue. More often they have a nodular shape. The course is asymptomatic. It is a painless pale pink neoplasm on a stalk. The consistency is doughy. The boundaries are unclear.
Seborrheic warts	Also called "senile". They arise as a result of impaired differentiation of cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. Appearance: Nodules or plaques raised above the skin. The surface is lumpy. The shape is often round or oval. The color of the wart varies from yellow-brown to black.
Moles	Or nevi. They are a developmental defect and consist of unchanged melanocytes. The characteristic color of the rash is from light brown to black, which is associated with different amounts of melanin (dark pigment) in the cells. More often, moles have a smooth surface and sometimes rise above the skin.
Fibroma	Fibroma is a tumor that forms from connective tissue. Dense to the touch. Reaches large sizes. Malignancy (transition to a malignant formation) of the tumor is possible.

Neoplasms on the skin (photos and descriptions are presented above) of a benign nature, despite their relatively safe nature, can sometimes still develop into precancrosis and even cancer.

What could be a red spot on a child’s back?

Have you been trying to heal your JOINTS for many years?

Causes

Some can be serious, causing sudden and severe symptoms, while others can be mild and go away on their own within 1-2 days.

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (atopic eczema)

Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is a chronic skin condition that is known to cause dryness and itching. Eczema is common in people who suffer from hay fever and asthma. There are different types, but each of them causes itching and redness of the skin.

Types of eczema include hand eczema, contact dermatitis, which occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance, and dyshidrotic eczema, which is found only on the fingers, palms and soles of the feet.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by patches of skin. These spots are usually red, itchy and scaly. They can also vary in severity from small and localized to completely covering the body.

The Mayo Clinic states that psoriasis is a common skin condition that alters the life cycle of cells. It causes cells to grow rapidly on the surface of the skin, and the additional cells form thick, silvery, dry scales that itch. Sometimes they can also be very painful.

Diaper rash

This is a rash caused by irritation from children's diapers. It is a common form of dermatitis that appears as bright red patches mainly in the area where the diaper is used. The rash is associated with wetness or infrequent diaper changes, sensitive skin, and chafing between the inner thighs.

The rash can be annoying for babies, but it is usually easy to treat with simple home treatments such as air-drying, more frequent diaper changes, and moisturizing ointments.

Sometimes redness of the skin as a result of diaper rash can also occur in adults. They are usually caused by constant and prolonged friction. This condition is common on the inner thighs and armpits.

Insect bites

A – an allergic reaction in a woman to bedbug bites. B – borreliosis (Lyme disease), which is transmitted through tick bites and is a serious disease

Although most insect bites have little health impact, bee, wasp and hornet stings can be painful and irritating. Some people have an allergic reaction to bee stings, which can be life-threatening.

Fungal infection in the groin area

Fringed eczema

Fringed eczema is one of the most common forms of fungal skin infection. It is also referred to as athlete's foot and usually affects the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks. Fringed eczema is known to cause an itchy, red and often ring-shaped rash.

Warm, moist areas of the body provide ideal conditions for the growth of the fungal infection that causes this rash. It is most common for people who sweat excessively and are overweight.

Impetigo

Another common infection that is known to cause redness on the skin accompanied by itching is impetigo. It is a contagious bacterial infection that forms pustules and yellow, crusty sores on the skin. The red sores caused by impetigo appear as a lesion that oozes and then forms a yellow-brown crust.

Ulcers can occur anywhere on the body. This is a common skin infection in children and is caused by streptococcal bacteria.

Shingles

Red spots can also be caused by ringworm. Herpes zoster is an acute inflammation of the ganglia (nerve ganglia). This is a viral infection that causes a painful rash in any area of the body, but most often forms a band around the middle of the body.

Shingles often appears as a single strip of blisters that forms around the left or right side of the torso [Mayo Clinic]. The infection is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus known to cause chickenpox.

Scabies

Scabies is a contagious skin infection caused by itch. The disease begins after mites burrow into the skin to live and lay eggs. The condition causes severe itching, usually worse at night.

hay fever

Hay fever (hay fever)

Hay fever is an allergy caused by pollen or dust that causes the lining of the eyes and nose to become itchy and sore. Hay fever usually causes a runny nose and watery eyes.

Food and drug allergies

Food allergies

A food or drug allergy is an abnormal reaction of the immune system to certain substances. Some cases of drug allergies can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.

Signs:

Itchy skin rash
Hives
Severe itching
Swelling and inflammation of the skin
Wheezing
Runny nose.

Rheumatic fever

Unlike most of the conditions mentioned above, rheumatic fever is not contagious. It is a non-contact, acute fever characterized by inflammation and severe joint pain that is common among young people. This bacterial infection is caused by streptococci.

Pityriasis rosea

A common type of skin rash that most often occurs between the ages of 10 and 35. The cause is believed to be a virus, but it is not a contagious disease.

The disease begins with the appearance of one large oval or round red spot on the body with a diameter of several centimeters, and after a few days several more spots, but smaller in size, form on the body (rarely on the face).

Other accompanying cold-like symptoms (fatigue, headache, sore throat, loss of appetite) may be noticeable, and sometimes the rash is itchy. It goes away on its own without treatment in 6-8 weeks, but sometimes lasts longer.

Lichen planus

Skin rash caused by the immune system. Lichen planus is not dangerous because it goes away on its own. In addition to the surface of the skin, it can also be found in the mouth. According to NHS UK, the disease affects around 2% of the world's population.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition in which some of the blood vessels in the face become enlarged, giving the cheeks and nose a reddened appearance. It is a chronic disease that affects more than 16 million people. The underlying cause of this condition is unknown, making the condition difficult to treat.

Symptoms:

Redness and hyperemia of the skin
Dry, rough and scaly skin
Burning
Visible destroyed blood vessel under the skin
Swelling.

Bather's Itch

Swimmer's itch, also called cercarial dermatitis , is a short-term immune reaction of the skin to the penetration of fluke larvae after swimming in contaminated bodies of water in countries with warm, humid climates.

Ringworm

Ringworm (dermatophytosis)

Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect various parts of the body, also causing itching.

Syphilis

Itchy skin can also be a sign of secondary syphilis. Secondary syphilis can be called a chronic bacterial disease associated mainly with infection during sexual intercourse. The infection can also be congenital, transmitted from a sick mother to the fetus.

Skin cancer

Cancer Research UK suggests the following are possible signs of skin cancer.

Painless spots or sores
Ulcers
Small, slow-growing, shiny, pink or red bump
Red spots on the skin.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. This is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. It is caused by damage to the DNA of skin cells, most often triggered by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The damage causes a mutation, a genetic defect that causes cells to multiply rapidly, forming a malignant tumor.

Infectious diseases

One of the common infectious diseases accompanied by rashes in the form of red spots is chicken pox. The rash changes over the course of the disease: spot-papule (tubercle)-vesicle (vesicle)-crust.

In infectious diseases, the appearance of skin rashes is usually accompanied by other symptoms (fever, intoxication syndrome, catarrhal phenomena). In addition, the elements of a rash in infectious diseases are rarely single; usually the rashes are multiple and have a characteristic localization.

The most common diseases accompanied by the appearance of red spots on the skin are chickenpox, measles, meningitis, and scarlet fever. Less commonly, such skin manifestations are the first signs of the onset of typhoid fever.

A common infectious disease of a fungal nature with pronounced skin manifestations is ringworm. The disease is highly contagious and children are often affected. The spots on the skin with this disease have a characteristic appearance. They are red, round, with clear contours, surrounded around the perimeter by a roll of small bubbles, and in the center of the spot the skin has a less intense color.

If red spots similar to those described above appear on the skin, or their manifestation is accompanied by other symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor, since such rashes may be a sign of a contagious infectious disease.

Red spots like bites

Red spots on a child’s body can be not only bites, but also an allergic rash :

Prickly heat. Small, light pink pimples located close to each other. The rash is localized in the upper chest, neck and shoulders . First of all, it is important to maintain hygiene. During the hot period, water procedures are carried out in decoctions of chamomile and string. Baby powder will help remove excess moisture; you should not lubricate the skin with cream - a humid environment will provoke the appearance of new pimples.
Hives are often confused with mosquito bites - these are pink blisters that cause severe itching. When scratched, a bloody crust forms on them. Infections, physical irritants or allergies provoke the development of hives. For urticaria, the affected areas are treated with powder. Antihistamines are used in the treatment of mild forms: Zyrtec, Claritin, Telfast. The use of enterosorbents (activated carbon) has a positive effect. Use prednisolone ointment, Deperzolon or water-zinc pastes with 2-3% naftalan oil.

Insect bites. Exposed areas of the body are covered with tubercles and red spots. The child is bothered by severe itching, but the general condition does not change. Wounds (not bloody) are lubricated with brilliant green to avoid bacterial infection. Lotions made from soda solution help relieve itching.

The insect rash goes away within a week; if this does not happen, the child should be shown to a dermatologist.

Why do they occur?

The study of skin tumors is still ongoing. The exact reasons for their occurrence have not been established, but scientists put forward several theories about this.

Provoking factors may be:

family history (presence of neoplasms in relatives);
individual characteristics of a person (light skin and hair, old age);
exposure to ultraviolet, radiation and x-ray radiation;
viral infection;
long-term trauma to the skin;
chronic exposure of the skin to chemical carcinogens (nitrosoamines, benzopyrene, aromatic amines, etc.);
insect bites;
metastatic processes in the presence of an oncological process in the body;
violation of the trophism of the skin, hence chronic skin ulcers;
weakened immune system (due to immunosuppressive therapy, HIV infection, etc.).

The child has red spots on his body, like bites: photo of the rash, causes and treatment

Parents of small children sometimes notice red spots on their bodies, similar to mosquito bites, which cause severe itching and burning, thereby causing discomfort to the baby. What to do in such a situation? How can you tell if these are really insect bites or if your child has contracted a dangerous disease?

Bite or sprinkle?

The reason for the appearance of red pimples on the baby's body may be allergies or mosquito bites. They can be distinguished by their characteristic features.

Mosquito bites differ from allergic rashes in that they occur in the summer months on exposed areas of the body. As a rule, they do not exist under thick clothing.

Red pimples that look like mosquito bites can be caused by allergies. A distinctive feature of such rashes is that they appear immediately after the child comes into contact with the allergen, and disappear without its presence.

Allergic urticaria differs from insect bites in the appearance of the following symptoms:

dense, raised blisters appear all over the body and have a small round shape;
light pink pimples may merge into larger spots around which the skin becomes red;
when rashes appear, the baby may experience severe burning and itching;
the rest of the family members do not have a rash.

Causes and treatment of rashes similar to mosquito bites

Red spots that look like mosquito bites appear for several reasons. In the summer, acne can occur after bites of various insects. To avoid this, it is necessary that the child wears closed clothes during evening walks; you can also use insect repellents (sprays, creams).

A rash can be caused by a food allergy, which occurs when foods such as nuts, eggs, fish, citrus fruits, chocolate, etc. are introduced into a child’s diet. Hives are an allergy that occurs when exposed to external factors such as cold air or water , ultraviolet radiation, chemicals included in medicines and household chemicals.

When your baby's body temperature rises, he may develop heat rash. Red pimples appear after the child sweats. The reason for this may be too warm clothing or physical activity.

An immune reaction in the form of a rash can occur when a baby is infected with an infectious disease. Allergic rashes are often observed due to helminthic infestations.

Bites from other insects

The appearance of red spots on a baby may also indicate bed bug bites. The spots in this case are quite large and can stretch in the form of tracks. The area of skin at the site of the bite becomes hard, turns red, and then begins to peel off. This can be seen in the photo.

For treatment, soap and soda solution are used to treat the inflamed areas. If the spots itch, they can be wiped with a cotton swab dipped in ammonia.

Bites from domestic fleas, ticks and bedbugs can lead to the baby becoming infected with dangerous diseases. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to keep the room clean. Disinfectants must be used to clean and wash textiles.

Allergic reaction (hives)

Hives most often occur in children under 3 years of age. An allergic reaction results in the sudden formation of white or pink pimples and redness of the skin around them. The rash gradually becomes inflamed and turns into blisters, which crust over when damaged.

The child feels severe itching where the blisters form. Associated symptoms of urticaria are muscle pain, general weakness, swelling of the nose, eyelids, lips and fingers.

If characteristic signs appear, parents should take the child to the doctor. Antihistamines are used to treat the disease. You can reduce burning and itching by treating the inflamed spots with talcum powder. Cleansing enemas help reduce the body's immune response to an allergen.

Infection

During the initial examination, the pediatrician determines the nature of the rash and studies the accompanying symptoms. Establishing an accurate diagnosis and prescribing a treatment regimen is possible only after receiving test results.

Viral infections

There are several viral infections that are accompanied by skin rashes. Each of them has characteristic symptoms:

Measles is accompanied by a sharp increase in body temperature, cough, runny nose and inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes. The rash appears a few days after infection and gradually spreads over the face, body and legs. To treat the disease, antipyretic drugs and cough and runny nose medications are used.
With chicken pox, rashes can appear on any part of the child's body. Multiple spots turn into bubbles, inside of which liquid accumulates. Associated symptoms of the disease include fever, vomiting, confusion, fever, and headache. Therapy includes the use of specific antiviral (Acyclovir) and antiseptic drugs that treat rashes.
Rubella infection occurs through airborne droplets. The disease manifests itself as a rash, first on the face and neck, and then spreads throughout the body. A large accumulation of spots is observed on the baby’s buttocks and back. Symptoms of infection include headaches, muscle and joint pain, loss of appetite, severe itching, swollen lymph nodes and a slight increase in temperature. Therapy for infection consists of symptomatic treatment, diet and bed rest.

Bacterial infections

Infections of bacterial etiology can lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly. In order not to waste time, parents should have information about the main symptoms of such diseases and the necessary therapeutic measures:

Scarlet fever appears in children in the first days after infection. The rashes appear as small red dots that merge into large spots. In severe cases of the disease, the skin in the area of the spots acquires a bluish tint. First, the rash appears on the cheeks, and then spreads to the baby’s neck, back, tummy and legs. Distinctive signs of scarlet fever are severe redness of the tongue, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. For scarlet fever, children are prescribed a course of antibiotics, as well as medications to eliminate associated symptoms.
Meningococcal infection is accompanied by a rash that looks like small hemorrhages. The rapid development of bacteria that cause the disease leads to intoxication of the body and the appearance of fever on the first day after infection. A dark red rash appears on the face, body, arms and legs. To treat the infection, children are prescribed antibiotics and drugs to cleanse the body of toxins.

Fungal infections

The most common type of skin lesion caused by pathogenic fungi is fungal dermatitis. Infection with this disease occurs through contact with a carrier of the infection or when fungal spores enter the body from the outside.

Rashes on the scalp, face, and body can be caused by fungi of the microsporum genus. The development of fungi is promoted by factors such as:

decreased protective functions of the body;
increased moisture or dry skin;
diseases of the endocrine system;
antibiotic treatment.

The rash caused by a fungal infection takes the form of blisters that, when opened, form crusts. In the affected area, the skin becomes bright red, sometimes with a blue tint. Treatment is carried out with broad-spectrum antifungal drugs.

Allergic rash in a child

Painful lumps under the skin. Red bumps on the body itchy

I don’t know what it is either.
I dilute it with water and smear it with a cotton swab. Those bumps on my hand again. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I’m generally pregnant. I washed everything, disinfected the furniture, clothes and everything in the room. I suspect it's an allergy... After the rain, I started to get covered in bumps all over. Is this an allergy to alcohol? I tried taking antihistamines once, and basically the lump went away, but! it always goes away within a couple of hours, antihistamines did not speed up this process in any way.

Symptoms

How does scalp allergies manifest? The main symptom is itching. At first it may hardly appear, but gradually it becomes more noticeable. In addition to itching, the following may occur:

Peeling of the skin with the appearance of white scales on the head, which in appearance are similar to dandruff.
Skin hyperemia in areas of scratching, thinning and hair loss.

Often these manifestations arise from a fungal infection. In this situation, the rash affects the ears and eyebrows. There is a type of allergy that occurs with almost no symptoms. The manifestation is considered to be severe itching on the head. Patients cannot restrain themselves from scratching the area of the rash until the ulcers bleed, risking introducing painful microflora into the infected wound.

Why do bumps appear on the skin?

Dear ALIVE! For reference, I drink alcoholic beverages no more than 2 times a month, and now even less often... I don’t smoke and I don’t take drugs... Dear Anna Z! For any allergic manifestations, a person must completely eliminate alcohol in any form from your diet, and not experiment “after beer, wine and cognac.”

Those. Having such obvious body reactions (the reason for which is clear to you as daylight), you intend to continue studying the chemical formula of alcohol (“alcohol allergy? C2H5OH.

I completely agree with the author of the answer Zh.I.V. There is a lot of alcohol in your questions, especially for an allergy sufferer.

And it looks like you have a good understanding of medicine! After a week they go away, but as soon as you go to the bathhouse they appear again.

At first I thought it was a bite, but no, no one has such lumps at home. My brother has allergies, he would have had it all long ago. But his body is clean. Strange, but nothing like this has ever happened. Grandma said allergies.

Can two people have an allergy at once? The same bump, it hurts like a bruise, itches a little, is warm, dense and red. I thought it was an allergy, I sat stupidly on chicken broth for days, no effect.

As they appeared, they appear, both under clothes and on open areas of the skin. Someone tell me what this could be...

Sick and incurable: Allergy 100%! And its name is HURTIC, it can be unique every time. If the first one itches, and when you start scratching, blisters form in those places, then it’s an allergy! Gastritis. Do a gastroscopy. I also have the same symptoms...bumps on my head and elbows...what is this, please tell me guys.... 6 years of tsetrin and for that I feel good.

I also have a problem with these bumps, for about two months now. I went to an allergist and prescribed a strict diet and Suprastin injections. I’m generally an allergy sufferer with 25 years of experience (polinosis), maybe this is some kind of exacerbation. And that’s how the spots appear. Fell asleep.

maybe it’s true - nerves... Everything is as they said: subcutaneous bumps, like from a bite, are itchy and hot. Thanks, I'll try iodine. If it’s really an allergy, I’m shocked - it seems like it never happened.

At first I thought I was leaning against the wall at night because I was cold.

Other symptoms

Damage to the scalp is observed in half of patients with neurodermatitis. The main category of patients includes children. In infants, allergies can manifest themselves differently. In one situation, brown scales form on the skin, which are called seborrhea. And in the second case, red spots and small blisters appear, which burst and dry out, creating a thin scab on the head.

Typically, atopic dermatitis manifests itself with accompanying symptoms. In a child under 3 years of age, the rash can spread to the cheeks. In older children it spreads to the neck, face, and limbs. In adults, the scalp and face are affected, as well as the forearms and décolleté. If itching occurs suddenly and does not disappear over a long period, this is a complication.

In some cases, lumps and lumps under the skin disappear on their own, without treatment

REMEMBER! NO ONE IS BORN WITH ALLERGIES! BE EXAMINED, AND IF THE ALLERGY IS STRONG AND THE DIAGNOSIS IS CONFIRMED – CARRY AMPOULES WITH HORMONES, ADRENALINE AND SYRINGES WITH YOU EVERYWHERE.

AND THE BUNES UNDER THE SKIN, LARGE AND HOT, ARE MOST LIKELY STAPHYLOCOCCUS, CAN COME FROM THE OIL OF 31 HERBS - IF YOU BUY THE REAL - THERE ARE TOO MANY FAKES.

A swelling appears on the body, itches and gradually increases in size for the second month. Psilo-Balm gel helps to cope with this scourge.

But he’s also pretty tired of the bumps, especially when blisters pop up on his face and grow before his eyes. They themselves concluded that it was a reaction to damp and cool weather. What is this? Help. The symptoms are the same as most.

By the evening the bumps appeared, and by the morning they were gone. At first I thought it was a reaction to store-bought juices. I've been drinking a lot lately. Then I canceled it and it seemed to go away.

And by the time I get ready to see a doctor, everything practically disappears.

Hives - an allergy or not?

Risks of the disease

“It is believed that every third person has suffered from urticaria at least once in their life,” says Olga Borisova, a general practitioner of the first qualification category.

– Urticaria has the following symptoms: unbearable itching suddenly occurs, and then characteristic blisters appear, which rise slightly above the reddened skin.

Some people encounter it only once and forget about it forever, while others suffer from it for a long time and painfully.”

Diagnostics

If lumps appear on your body, you can consult a general practitioner. After conducting an initial examination, he can redirect you for additional consultation with a dermatologist, surgeon or oncologist. To establish a medical history, the doctor will need answers to the following questions:

If you are worried about bumps on your body, you should consult a therapist, and then a surgeon or dermatologist.

After determining the overall picture, the doctor palpates the affected area to make a preliminary diagnosis. To confirm the diagnosis, tests and examinations are prescribed.

If a malignant tumor is suspected, the doctor must prescribe a biopsy of tissue and internal contents from the affected area.

A hard lump under red or blue skin

Skin abscess

If the skin around the lump is red or blue, it may be an abscess - a swollen area that contains a build-up of pus. A skin abscess is a lump usually surrounded by discolored skin.

The vast majority of abscesses are caused by infection. Inside they are full of pus, bacteria and dead skin cells. Abscesses are often painful and warm to the touch and can occur on any part of the body. However, the most common sites of occurrence include the skin of the armpits, around the anus, in the groin and around a tooth.

To effectively treat an abscess, it must be opened. Unlike other bacterial infections, antibiotics alone will not help. In rare cases, an abscess may open on its own, but most often it will need to be helped with a warm compress. If done incorrectly, it can lead to bruising.

Allergy bumps under the skin

With some problems in the body, a lump may appear under the skin. In most cases it is not dangerous. Formations that do not hurt or cause discomfort are considered harmless.

But sometimes seals make you worry. In this case, people rush to see a doctor to find out why the lump formed and how to treat it. Benign growths do not require serious therapy, unlike malignant ones.

On the limbs

Subcutaneous lesions can appear in various areas of the body. Most of them do not pose any particular danger and go away on their own. But in order to be sure of this, a visit to a specialist is required.

Lumps on the arms and legs are most often lipomas, fibroids, or cysts. Fibrolipoma is a formation, inside of which there is adipose and connective tissue at the same time. With a lower percentage of fat, the bud is more hard.

A fibroma is a compaction, inside of which there is connective fibrous tissue. It can be localized on the shoulder or leg.

A cyst may also appear, which is a compaction in the form of a sac of fluid. Its main difference from other growths is its location on the surface of the tissue. It can be found on the forearm, in various parts of the legs and throughout the body.

Lipomas, cysts and fibromas are also common in other areas of the body. Such bumps may appear on the back under the skin, as well as in the chest area.

Hygroma affects the joints of the upper and lower extremities

A hard lump on the palm under the skin in the area of the wrist or finger joint is a hygroma. It is a type of cyst that forms on the tendons.

Hygroma looks like a smooth ball containing liquid inside. The consistency of the internal contents resembles jelly.

The reasons for the occurrence of such formations are still unknown. But it is noted that often a lump on the lower leg, in the area of the shoulder joint, or on the elbow appears in adulthood. It is caused by aging of the body, damage to the tendon.

Usually, hygroma does not hurt or bother a person. In this case, no treatment is required. But if discomfort is felt, a visit to a dermatologist is mandatory. It is worth remembering that even after removal the problem may return.

Lumps may also indicate some serious pathologies:

rheumatoid arthritis (manifests itself in the form of disorders of connective tissue and small joints; red bumps in the area of the hands hurt);
osteoarthritis (damage to large joints of the legs due to injuries, endocrine disorders);
gout (metabolic disorder and deposition of uric acid in soft tissues; lumps from 2 to 20 mm are formed).

To make a final diagnosis, you need to contact an orthopedist or surgeon.

There are also a large number of lymph nodes in the armpit area. When they become inflamed, bumps may also appear.

On the face

A facial lump under the skin is common. In some cases, it becomes the result of tissue injury. But sometimes it can be detected even if there are other reasons.

After tooth extraction, swelling may appear on the face, which goes away after some time.

Epidemic parotitis can provoke the appearance of compactions. It is popularly known as piggy. The disease is infectious in nature and most often develops in childhood. A person may notice that large formations have appeared under the skin in the lower part of the face. They are caused by inflammation of the lymph nodes.

Lumps under the skin on the face may be the result of an allergic reaction of the body. In this case, Quincke's edema develops. It affects deep tissues. Large and extensive tumors appear on the lips, eyelids, and lower part of the head.

Swelling in the jaw area can develop due to a tooth abscess. In this case, a dense formation appears on the side of the cheek where there are disturbances.

Small formations may be subcutaneous pimples. They usually have a reddish tint. In this case, the head of the inflammation is not visible, since it is hidden in the deep layers of the skin.

Inflammation is localized on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. They are noticeable at first sight, so they bring severe discomfort to a person.

Even after the acne clears up, small lumps may remain. They may not be visible at first glance. But, if the skin freezes, it turns blue in the affected areas.

Lipomas are not dangerous because they contain fatty tissue inside.

In the lower body

You can discover that a dense lump has appeared on the thigh, genitals or buttocks if there are some predisposing factors. Among them are:

inflammation of the inguinal lymph nodes as a result of infection entering the body;
a cyst that is filled with fluid and does not pose a serious danger;
an abscess, in which pus accumulates in the tissues;
genital warts, which are growths on the surface of the skin due to infection of the body;
hanging moles, warts and papillomas.

The latest formations can be not only genital. The human papillomavirus leads to the appearance of such lumps and growths on the abdomen, back, and chest. They often form on the finger.

If the formation hurts?

When the body is injured or infected, a painful area may appear. Typically, if there is a shock or negative impact, the skin becomes dark. You can find such formations on the back, lower back, leg, side. A hematoma looks like a flat or raised lump. It is often characterized by tissue swelling.

It is important not to confuse a regular hematoma with an abscess. In this case, the skin also turns blue. The swollen area contains pus, which if spread can cause damage to the body and death.

With an abscess, symptoms appear similar to the usual inflammatory process. The affected area is very painful and swollen. Inside, in addition to pus, there are dead cells and other contents.

Such areas can only be removed surgically. It is important to visit a doctor as soon as possible to prevent complications.

Infection is accompanied by redness of the skin. The covers are hot to the touch. It is important to identify the disorder as early as possible, since there is a high probability of the inflammatory process spreading to neighboring areas.

Inflammation may be the result of improper shaving. If part of the hair remains under the skin, then it grows deeper into the follicle. If there are ingrown hairs in the tissue, a negative process begins and small balls form. Men often experience bumps on their faces. But women may also experience changes when removing hair from their legs, armpits, and bikini area.

In all cases, the bumps hurt a lot. It is important not only to eliminate discomfort and discomfort, but also to prevent complications.
