Dr. Stephen M. Schleicher, MD's Expert Contributions
  • Can this be melanoma, or what it might be?

    Unlikely to be a melanoma based on your photo. To be safe, best to have checked out by a local dermatologist who will use a special imaging tool (dermatoscopy) to confirm. READ MORE

  • Bruise-like spot on my chin?

    Looks like blood vessels in the area are becoming dilated (enlarged) which can account for the bruise-like appearance. Sometimes a cyst underneath the skin can cause this to occur. Best to get checked out by a local dermatologist who can use a magnifying lens to see more detail. READ MORE

  • Permethrin and sun burn?

    Although absorption of permethrin is low, I doubt whether the compound has been tested on damaged (i.e. sunburned) skin. Hence, I am uncertain as to safety. READ MORE

  • What is this huge bump on my butt?

    Sounds like an abscess, which is caused by a germ. Best to get checked out at an Urgent Care center for treatment. Some abscesses need to be drained and/or require oral antibiotics. READ MORE

  • Bad rash?

    Quite possibly a form of psoriasis. Recommend consultation with a local dermatologist to start prescription medication treatment which should afford great relief. READ MORE

  • Red skin bump?

    The bump is not fully visualized from the photo but from what I see best to get the growth checked by a local dermatologist. It might be just a blood vessel that reached the surface but visit a local derm to confirm in person. READ MORE

  • Rash or STD?

    Hi and many thanks for the photo and history of the rash. Without viewing in person it is difficult to pinpoint an exact cause and even then a culture or superficial biopsy might be required. It could be something minor such as a fungal infection, eczema, or a harmless condition called granuloma annulare. Best to get checked by a local dermatologist. READ MORE

  • How to get rid of very dry skin on your hands?

    I assume you have tried a variety of over-the-counter moisturizing creams; if so the next step would be prescription creams. Best to visit a local dermatologist for an in-person evaluation. READ MORE

  • Red, itchy skin?

    Itchy rashes may be a sign of eczema. If the itching is not relieved by hydrocortisone best to be checked by a local dermatologist. READ MORE

  • Losing hair?

    Your type of hair loss definitely requires work-up by a local dermatologist. Best to do so as soon as possible. READ MORE

  • What are these spots on my skin and should I be worried?

    As skin cancer is very common in Australia, and as you have fair skin, best to get checked by a local dermatologist. One in particular might warrant a skin sampling which is a very simple procedure. READ MORE

  • Dermatologist question?

    Most moles are not melanoma. That said, if you have a family history of skin cancer, fair skin, blue eyes, and/or have experienced sunburns as a child or tan indoors, I would have heightened concern. Great that you are being checked by a local dermatologist! READ MORE

  • Blood spots?

    Could be contact dermatitis or insect bites, especially if itchy; I recommend seeing a local dermatologist as you may require a prescription medication for adequate control. READ MORE

  • Sore on my head?

    Looks from here that your hair follicles are becoming inflamed and plugged up. Sometimes an oral antibiotic is required to achieve adequate control. READ MORE

  • Rash on my arm?

    You definitely need to obtain in-person medical consultation for your rash, preferably with a dermatologist. You may require oral steroids/antibiotics as treatment. READ MORE

  • Are these stretch marks?

    The photos certainly do not resemble stretch marks. Looks like a condition called erythema ab igne: https://dermnetnz.org/topics/erythema-ab-igneBest to visit a local dermatologist for evaluation. READ MORE

  • Skin issues?

    The bumps might be caused by warts. Best to visit a local dermatologist for evaluation and removal. READ MORE

  • How to get rid of pimples?

    Doubt that this will work. Differin gel might help. If the condition is getting worse, best to visit a local dermatologist. READ MORE

  • My skin issue?

    Hi, Difficult to say from the photo so best to get checked by a local dermatologist. READ MORE

  • Change in nails?

    Yes, sometimes illness can result in nail changes. Best to get checked by a dermatologist who can evaluate in person and offer additional advice. READ MORE
