wart
Warts, also called common wartswarts, or warts, are small, rough, rounded bumps on the top layer of skin. They can appear individually or in groups.
Common warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious through direct contact, usually through a skin tear. They can spread from one part of the body to another simply by touch.
Anyone can get warts, but they are more common in people with a weakened immune system, such as B. by illness or chemotherapy. Children and teenagers are also susceptible to warts.
Warts usually appear first on the hands and fingers, especially near the fingernails or after skin injuries. Therefore, nail biting is a risk factor for warts.
Warts are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. However, they can be unsightly and interfere with normal hand use, so treatment is often beneficial.
The diagnosis is made by a physical examination. Warts in children sometimes go away without treatment, but if they don't, most warts can be easily removed in a doctor's office.
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. Askin cystit's the one that forms just under the skin.
Skin cysts are thought to form around trapped keratin cells — the cells that make up the relatively hard outer layer of skin.
These cysts are not contagious.
Anyone can get skin cysts, but they're more common in people over the age of 18, with acne, or with skin lesions.
Symptoms include the appearance of a small, round lump under the skin. Cysts are usually painless unless infected when they become red, painful, and contain pus.
The diagnosis is made by a physical examination. A small cyst can be left alone, although if it's unsightly or large enough to interfere with movement, it can be removed in a simple procedure at a doctor's office. An infected cyst needs treatment to keep the infection from spreading.

Hautabszess
AHautabszessIt's a large pocket of pus that has formed just under the skin. It is caused by bacteria that enter the skin, usually through a small cut or scrape, and start to multiply. The body fights the invasion with white blood cells, which kill some of the infected tissue but form pus in the remaining cavity.
Symptoms include a large, red, swollen, painful lump of pus somewhere on the body under the skin. The infection can cause fever, chills, and body aches.
If left untreated, there is a risk that an abscess will enlarge, spread and cause serious illness.
The diagnosis is made by a physical examination.
A small abscess can heal on its own through the body's immune system. However, some will need to be drained or punctured in a doctor's office so the pus can be removed. Antibiotics are usually prescribed.
Keep the skin clean and only use clean clothes and towels to make sure the abscess doesn't come back.

Pimple
Pimples are also called comedones, pimples, spots, or "pimples." Medically, they are small rashes filled with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Pimples usually appear around puberty when hormones increase oil production in the skin and sometimes clog pores.
Adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 are most susceptible.
Symptoms include clogged pores, which can appear flat and black on the surface because oil darkens when exposed to air; clogged pores that appear white on the surface because they are clogged with dead skin cells; or swollen, yellow-white, pus-filled blisters surrounded by red skin.
outbreaks ofPimples on the skin can affect the quality of life, make the person uncertain about their appearance and cause pain and discomfort in the skin. A doctor can help treat the condition, sometimes by referring you to a dermatologist.
The diagnosis is made by a physical examination.
Treatment includes improving diet; keep skin, hair, clothes and towels very clean; and with over-the-counter acne remedies.
Molluscum contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum, auch genanntwater warts", is a common, benign viral infection of the skin. It causes a rash that can appear anywhere on the body.
The virus spreads through direct contact with bumps, including sexual contact. It is also transmitted by touching objects that an infected person has touched, e.g. B. Clothing, towels and toys.
Children under the age of 10 are most susceptible. Other risk factors include dermatitis causing skin lesions; a weakened immune system; and living in hot and humid regions under conditions of overcrowding.
Symptoms include a rash of small, pale bumps with a hole in the middle. The rash is usually painless but can be red, itchy, and painful.
The diagnosis is made by a physical examination.
In some cases, treatment is not required and the condition goes away on its own. However, if the bumps are unsightly or are present in the genital area, the lesions can be removed through minor surgery or treated with oral medications or topical agents.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. Often the first signs ofMelanomait is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole. Most s have a black or blue-black area. A melanoma can also appear as a new mole. It can be black, abnormal, or "ugly looking".
You must see your GP. Surgery is the first treatment for all stages of melanoma. Other treatments include chemotherapy and radiation, biologics, and targeted therapies. Biological therapy increases the body's ability to fight cancer. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without damaging normal cells.
Lipoma
Lipoma is a word that translates to "fat tumor" but aLipomait's not cancer. It's simply a growth of fat between the muscle layer and the overlying skin.
The exact cause is not known. The disease tends to run in families and is associated with other unusual syndromes such as obese painus, which has a similar course. Lipomas are more common after the age of 40.
Symptoms include a soft, easily movable lump under the skin about two inches in diameter. A lipoma is painless unless its growth irritates surrounding nerves. They are most commonly found on the back, neck, and stomach, and sometimes on the arms and thighs.
It's a good idea to have any new or unusual growths checked out by a doctor just to make sure they're benign.
Diagnosis is by physical examination, biopsy, and imaging tests such as ultrasound or computed tomography.
Most of the time, treatment isn't necessary unless the lipoma is unsightly or interferes with other structures. It can be removed through surgery or liposuction.

Main Symptoms:skin-colored groin, marble-sized groin, small groin
Symptoms that always appear with lipomas:skin-colored groin swelling

basal cell carcinoma
basal cell carcinoma(BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer. It can develop on almost any part of the body. It appears as abnormal spots or bumps on the skin. These bumps are usually pink, red, or flesh-colored, and sometimes have a shiny surface. The main risk factor for developing this condition is prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Sun exposure and tanning beds are sources of UV radiation. People with a history of sunburn, previous skin cancer, and a compromised immune system are at higher risk of developing this condition.
Most cases of BCC can be treated easily because it grows slowly. However, if left untreated, it can spread throughout the body. Your doctor will do a skin exam and possibly a skin sample test called a biopsy. Treatment depends on where the cancer is, how big it is, and your medical history. Some treatment options include cutting off the bump, freezing it off, or using medicated skin cream.
atypical appearance
Birthmarks are growths on the skin. They occur when pigment cells in the skin called melanocytes grow in clusters. Certain birthmarks are considered "atypical" because of their size and characteristics that require careful observation and possibly even biopsy to monitor cancer development. Atypical birthmarks, also called dysplastic nevi, deserve more attention than normal birthmarks.
You should see your GP to have the mole examined. He or she can determine if further steps are needed.
