Skin cyst

A cyst is a small sac or lump, filled with fluid, air, fat, or other material, that begins to grow somewhere in the body for no apparent reason. A skin cyst is one that forms just beneath the skin.

It’s believed that skin cysts form around trapped keratin cells – the cells that form the relatively tough outer layer of the skin.

These cysts are not contagious.

Anyone can get a skin cyst, but they are most common in those who are over age 18, have acne, or have injured the skin.

Symptoms include the appearance of a small, rounded lump under the skin. Cysts are normally painless unless infected, when they will be reddened and sore and contain pus.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination. A small cyst can be left alone, though if it is unsightly or large enough to interfere with movement it can be removed in a simple procedure done in a doctor’s office. An infected cyst must be treated so that the infection does not spread.

Rarity: Common

Top Symptoms: skin-colored armpit bump, marble sized armpit lump, small armpit lump

Symptoms that always occur with skin cyst: skin-colored armpit bump

Urgency: Wait and watch

Skin abscess

A skin abscess is a large pocket of pus that has formed just beneath the skin. It is caused by bacteria getting under the skin, usually through a small cut or scratch, and beginning to multiply. The body fights the invasion with white blood cells, which kill some of the infected tissue but form pus within the cavity that remains.

Symptoms include a large, red, swollen, painful lump of pus anywhere on the body beneath the skin. There may be fever, chills, and body aches from the infection.

If not treated, there is the risk of an abscess enlarging, spreading, and causing serious illness.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination.

A small abscess may heal on its own, through the body’s immune system. But some will need to be drained or lanced in a medical provider’s office so that the pus can be cleaned out. Antibiotics are usually prescribed.

Keeping the skin clean, and using only clean clothes and towels, will help to make sure that the abscess does not recur.

Rarity: Common

Top Symptoms: rash with bumps or blisters, red rash, red skin bump larger than 1/2 cm in diameter, pus-filled rash, rash

Symptoms that always occur with skin abscess: rash with bumps or blisters

Urgency: Primary care doctor

Pimple

Pimples are also called comedones, spots, blemishes, or “zits.” Medically, they are small skin eruptions filled with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.

Pimples often first start appearing at puberty, when hormones increase the production of oil in the skin and sometimes clog the pores.

Most susceptible are teenagers from about ages 13 to 17.

Symptoms include blocked pores that may appear flat and black on the surface, because the oil darkens when exposed to the air; blocked pores that appear white on the surface because they have closed over with dead skin cells; or swollen, yellow-white, pus-filled blisters surrounded by reddened skin.

Outbreaks of pimples on the skin can interfere with quality of life, making the person self-conscious about their appearance and causing pain and discomfort in the skin. A medical provider can help to manage the condition, sometimes through referral to a dermatologist.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination.

Treatment involves improving diet; keeping the skin, hair, washcloths, and towels very clean; and using over-the-counter acne remedies.

Rarity: Common

Top Symptoms: pink or red facial bump, small facial lump, painful facial bump, marble sized facial lump

Symptoms that always occur with pimple: pink or red facial bump

Urgency: Self-treatment

Mole on the butt

Moles are growths on the skin. They happen when pigment cells in the skin, called melanocytes, grow in clusters.

If you have many moles that you are worried about, you can go see your primary care doctor to follow the s. However, treatment is only considered if a new develops or changes.

Rarity: Uncommon

Top Symptoms: unchanged butt bump, black or brown butt bump, small butt lump, uniformly black/brown butt bump, butt bump’s smooth border

Symptoms that always occur with mole on the butt: unchanged butt bump, black or brown butt bump

Urgency: Wait and watch

Lipoma

Lipoma is a word that translates as “fatty tumor,” but a lipoma is not cancer. It is simply a growth of fat between the muscle layer and the skin above it.

The exact cause is not known. The condition does run in families and is associated with other unusual syndromes such as adiposis dolorosa, which is similar. Lipomas most often appear after age 40.

Symptoms include a soft, easily moveable lump beneath the skin, about two inches across. A lipoma is painless unless its growth is irritating the nerves around it. They are most often found on the back, neck, and abdomen, and sometimes the arms and upper legs.

It is a good idea to have any new or unusual growth checked by a medical provider, just to make certain it is benign.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination, biopsy, and imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan.

Most of the time, treatment is not necessary unless the lipoma is unsightly or is interfering with other structures. It can be removed through surgery or liposuction.

Rarity: Uncommon

Top Symptoms: skin-colored groin bump, marble sized groin lump, small groin lump

Symptoms that always occur with lipoma: skin-colored groin bump

Urgency: Wait and watch

Dermatofibroma

A dermatofibroma is a fairly common skin growth that usually appears on the lower legs, but may appear anywhere on the body. These mole-like growths are benign (noncancerous.)

The cause is not known, though a dermatofibroma may appear after a minor injury. The growths are not contagious.

Dermatofibromas are most common in adults and are rarely found in children.

Symptoms include a hard, raised growth that is red, pink, or brown and less than half an inch across. They are usually painless but may be tender or itchy, and may appear alone or in groups.

Any new growth on the skin should be seen by a medical provider, especially if the growth is very dark in color or changes its shape or appearance quickly.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination and sometimes biopsy.

A dermatofibroma does not require treatment unless it is interfering with clothing or is unsightly. They can be surgically removed, though this will leave a scar and the growth may eventually return.

Boil (furuncle)

A furuncle, also called a boil, is infection of a hair follicle. The infection forms under the skin at the root of the hair and may occur anywhere on the body.

The infection is caused by bacteria, most often Staphylococcus aureus or “staph.” Irritation caused by clothes or anything else rubbing the skin can cause the skin to break down and allow bacteria to enter.

Staph bacteria are found everywhere. Frequent and thorough handwashing, and otherwise maintaining cleanliness, will help to prevent its spread.

Most susceptible are those with a weakened immune system; diabetes; and other skin infections.

Symptoms include a single bump under the skin that is swollen, painful, and red, and contains pus.

It is important to treat the boil, since infection can spread into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body.

Diagnosis is made through physical examination and sometimes fluid sample from the boil.

Treatment may involve incision and drainage of the infection, followed by creams to apply to the site of the boil and/or a course of antibiotic medicine.

Rarity: Uncommon

Top Symptoms: pink or red facial bump, small facial lump, painful facial bump, marble sized facial lump, constant skin changes

Symptoms that always occur with boil (furuncle): pink or red facial bump

Symptoms that never occur with boil (furuncle): fever

Urgency: Self-treatment

Blackhead

Blackheads are caused by hair follicles becoming clogged with oil & dead skin cells. When the clogged pore is open to the air, the air turns the outermost layer black through oxidation.

Rarity: Common

Top Symptoms: small facial lump, black or brown facial bump

Symptoms that always occur with blackhead: small facial lump, black or brown facial bump

Urgency: Self-treatment

Boil on Butt Crack: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

You can develop pimples and boils in your butt crack. You may also experience itching and swelling. But other health conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa can cause similar symptoms.

All areas of the body that sweat and have hair are susceptible to boils. This includes your intergluteal cleft, commonly known as your butt crack.

Boils are painful, pus-filled bumps or lumps that typically occur in places where sweat pools. They’re a form of skin infection usually caused by bacteria that infect your hair follicles.

Also called furuncles, boils can develop on your buttocks and in your butt crack.

The most obvious symptom of a boil located in your butt crack is a red, painful bump in your skin. It may vary in size from a cherry pit to a walnut.

The boil may feel warm and swell as it fills with pus. Pus is a collection of dead white blood cells and bacteria. It usually appears white or yellowish in color.

Your symptoms might include:

• weeping or oozing of the lesion
• white or yellow center
• swelling around boil
• additional boils in surrounding skin area
• itching around the boil

A cluster of boils is called a carbuncle. This more severe skin infection can cause fatigue and fever.

Boils are caused by bacteria that infect a hair follicle. Usually, the bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus, which causes staph infection. This type of bacteria is common on the skin.

Similar to pimples, boils occur when pus builds up and pushes up to the surface of the skin. Both infections cause a bump in the skin which may grow as the pus builds up.

The difference between the two is that pimples occur in the first layer of skin (epidermis). Boils occur in the second, deeper layer (dermis).

Common causes for boils include:

• excessive sweating
• lack of proper hygiene
• weak immune system
• shaving

Certain preexisting conditions can make it more likely that you’ll develop boils, including:

• eczema
• diabetes
• immune system deficiency
• conjunctivitis
• allergic asthma
• chronic infections
• cancer

Do not pick or attempt to pop a boil in your butt crack. Popping your boil can allow the bacteria inside to spread through the blood or lymph vessels.

Keep the skin clean and apply moist, warm compresses to the boil for about 15 minutes three to four times a day. This promotes healing.

Most boils go away within 3 weeks. Some rupture on their own. Other boils will dissipate after the body dissolves the boil. If a boil bursts, cover the wound with a bandage.

If pain and swelling get worse after 2 to 3 days, or if you develop a fever, see your doctor. You may need to have the boil surgically lanced (cut open with a sharp tool).

You should not do this at home. A dermatologist or doctor can perform the procedure safely for you.

If boils are severe, don’t respond to home treatment, or keep coming back, they may need to be treated with oral or topical antibiotics or both.

Your boil might not be a boil at all. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin condition that causes bumps that appear very similar to boils. Similar to boils, these lumps are believed to be caused by a blockage of the hair follicles.

Lumps can be very painful and are recurrent. They often rupture, resulting in scarring of the skin.

The cause of hidradenitis suppurativa is relatively unknown, but genetics likely plays a role. People who have obesity and those who smoke are at greater risk of the condition.

There’s no cure for hidradenitis suppurativa, but some medications can help you manage it. These include:

• hormones
• ointments
• pain medication
• immunosuppressants, which are usually used for later or severe stages

Boils can occur anywhere there is sweat buildup or hair. Having a boil in your butt crack can make it uncomfortable to wear clothes, sit, and go about your daily activities.

While they can be painful, boils are usually benign and typically go away on their own after a couple weeks.

If your boil does not go away or improve with time, make an appointment with your doctor to have the boil examined. Your doctor might prescribe antibiotics, and they may lance and drain your boil.

Hemorrhoidal thrombosis or “bump” in the anus

Perianal edema, anal fimbriae, bleeding consequences that are best avoided by curing hemorrhoids in a timely manner

Hemorrhoidal thrombosis or “bump” in the anus.

Quite often there are situations when a person gropes for a painful “bump” in the anus. As a rule, such patients already know firsthand what hemorrhoids are, but they are in no hurry to see a doctor. We are talking about thrombosis of the hemorrhoid, which in most cases is an exacerbation of chronic hemorrhoids. The fact of the appearance of the so-called acute hemorrhoids finally pushes a person to turn to a proctologist with a request for help, although this should have been done much earlier. However, it is not uncommon for a “bump” to appear completely unexpectedly, causing panic fear in its “owner”. The main thing here is not to make a mistake, not to “pull the cat by the tail”, but to ask the doctor of the necessary specialty all the questions of interest.

How the most conscientious patients act in such a situation, what questions they ask and what delicate answers they receive – we will find out from coloproctologist, candidate of medical sciences Maxim Vladimirovich Zubenkov from Medical Center “Global Clinic”.

– Doctor, what is this bump?

– The diagnosis of hemorrhoid thrombosis is not rare in proctology. This disease manifests itself in the formation of dense painful knots (usually one or two) in the anus, which are very painful to touch. In some cases, such nodes can be located around the anus, and also be deeper, in the anal canal. Patients describe the reason for going to the doctor in different ways: “bump”, “swelling”, “seal”, “prolapse of the node” and even “protrusion of hemorrhoids”. The cause of the patient’s suffering is a blood clot (blood clots) inside these nodes, which, when stressed, “stretches” the walls of the node and affects the nerve endings, causing pain.

Maksim Vladimirovich Zubenkov, coloproctologist, candidate of medical sciences.

Hemorrhoid thrombosis is usually a complication of chronic hemorrhoids. Depending on the location, there are thrombosis of external, internal hemorrhoids, as well as combined thrombosis (of both nodes). Thrombosis can also occur in a person who has not previously encountered hemorrhoidal disease. The reason in this case is a “burst” or partially damaged vessel in the anus, in place of which a blood clot forms.

– Describe the symptoms, what is bothering you?

– Patients complain of a sensation of a neoplasm and pain in the anus, aggravated by emptying, physical activity, sitting. The pains may be minor, but more often they are pronounced, especially in the first time after thrombosis. Often, the early stage of the disease is characterized by a burning sensation, itching, and may be accompanied by bloody discharge from the anus. These manifestations at first may be minor and not cause significant concern. In the future, they can intensify, causing significant discomfort.

– Why me?

– There are quite a lot of reasons for the formation of thrombosis in hemorrhoids and sometimes it is impossible to exclude them from our life. Most often, the cause of a blood clot is problems with intestinal emptying (constipation, diarrhea), and in women there is still a period of pregnancy and childbirth. An increase in venous pressure during straining and straining can lead to impaired venous outflow and contribute to stagnation of blood in the hemorrhoid, that is, to the formation of a blood clot. In principle, any tension that provokes a rush of blood into the small pelvis can cause overstretching or rupture of the vessel in the anus. Provoking factors also include frequent and uncontrolled physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle, or, conversely, prolonged standing, hypothermia, spicy foods, alcohol, anal sex, etc.

– What should I be afraid of?

– Thrombosis can affect the entire circumference of the skin around the anus, causing perianal edema and inflammation in the node and surrounding tissues. A thrombus is able to evacuate spontaneously, “breaking through” the mucous membrane or skin, thereby causing profuse bleeding, which is very frightening for patients. In addition, such evacuation, as a rule, is incomplete. In place of the painful “bump” there are “folds of skin”, the so-called anal fringes. These painful folds of perianal skin are often mistaken for external hemorrhoids.

Anal fringes interfere with thorough hygiene. When infected, they can become inflamed, cause itching, soreness, and bleeding. By the way, thrombosis can also be periodically observed inside hemorrhoidal fringes, which, in turn, are the result of a previous exacerbation of hemorrhoids.

In the absence of treatment, necrosis may occur in the prolapsed nodes, their mucous membrane ulcerates, which threatens the development of acute paraproctitis (severe purulent complication) or bleeding.

– Doctor, help!

– Hemorrhoidal thrombosis should be treated as early as possible. It includes anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, local anticoagulants, restriction of “walking”, physical activity, diet, alcohol exclusion. As a result of treatment, pain, as a rule, goes away in 2-7 days, swelling disappears. In addition to drug therapy, instrumental treatment is often performed – excision of a blood clot under local anesthesia. This procedure takes only a few minutes. Subsequently, it is also necessary to carry out a minimally invasive treatment of chronic hemorrhoids (if any). After excision of thrombosis, pain disappears, the wound heals in a few days. Within two to three days, slight discomfort in the anus is possible. The patient after treatment remains able to work, only temporarily limiting physical activity, which is not unimportant for many. Of course, the patient also needs to normalize bowel function, eliminate problems with intestinal emptying.

– Could this happen again?

– Unfortunately, maybe. It is not possible to give guarantees for the whole life of the patient. Do not forget that excision of thrombosis does not mean a cure for the hemorrhoid itself as such. Subsequently, thrombosis may form again, but not at the site of excision, but elsewhere in the perianal region. However, it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of recurrence of thrombosis if hemorrhoids are cured in time, follow the doctor’s recommendations and eliminate the effects of negative factors from our lives as much as possible. It should also be remembered that thrombosis of the hemorrhoid, as well as the hemorrhoid itself, is best treated quickly at an early stage, and, therefore, you should not neglect a visit to a proctologist.
