Info Request

Hi XXXXXX,

 

I am happy to help.

 

Can you describe how it looks?

 

Does it look like a normal pimple?

 

Does it itch or flake?

 

Thanks,

Macy

It looks like a pimple with a little white head on it. It does not itch or flake. It was originally a freckle.

Answer

Thank you for your reply.

 

I would see if you can bring it to a head by putting a warm wet washcloth on it .

 

If it doesn't resolve within a day or two I would make an appt. with your doctor or dermatologist because it might not be just a whitehead and you don't want to take any chances.

 

Skin lesions are more susceptible on areas that have been exposed to sun so that is also a possibility.

 

Of coarse it is possible that is is just a whitehead that found a home on a freckle but if it isn't going away it needs to be biopsed.

 

Best Wishes,

Macy

I'm more worried now than before.

Answer

I didn't mean to worry you as it could just be a white head,

 

I do however believe in being proactive.
