Question: I'm a 24-year-old woman. I've had occasional small lumps in my groin area over the past few years. I've always chalked them up to being ingrown hairs or something else benign because they've always disappeared. However, I've now had one for over 2 months and it's gotten very large and tender. What could this possibly be and how can I treat it? Answer: This is probably a cyst – derived from a chronic ingrown hair. It is best to see a dermatologist for both evaluation and treatment. If it is a cyst, some cysts respond to local cortisone injections and antibiotics,others need to be surgically removed.

Question: I have this one spot on my back that is really itchy. I just noticed that there are actually white spots there, and I only noticed this because I'm tan everywhere else. Is this some type of fungal infection? How is it treated?Answer: This infection, known as tinea versicolor in is incredibly common. The organism, common in all humans, grows to a greater degree in some than in others. It becomes more noticeable in the summer time because infected skin does not tan well. It is easy treated with a variety of topical antifungal/ant yeast creams and some pills. A good preventative action is to undertake monthly shampoos with topical selenium.
