I had a small bump removed a year and a half ago on my leg. It wasn't serious, but I kept cutting it while shaving my legs, and it was unsightly. I went to a leading Plastic Surgeon to have the bump removed. The bump itself was a purplish color, and thought to have been caused by a mosquito bite that didn't heal properly. It was like extra scar tissue. Once he removed it, the skin underneath was also purple. He told me because it was on my leg, it would take a very long time to heal. Apparently, the further the "injury" is from the heart, the longer it takes to recover correctly. Also, the bump was located not on a fleshy part of the leg, but more so over the bone. Therefore, less blood/flesh to assist with the healing process. Well, here we are a year and a half later. The scar has always been smooth, but I am waiting for it to be closer to my skin color. I called his office twice, and they welcomed me in. But, they assured me it was nothing to worry about.
Bump Removed - Why is my skin purple?
If your plastic surgeon isn't worried, he's the expert.
Ask him why the skin is still purple - it just might be a residual colouration that you'll have for the rest of your life (other people have it worse)
If you want to cover it up, use makeup.
Reply:I had a few warts removed, and the same thing happened. What you're doc said about it being far fromt he heart and all that is true. It varies from person to person as to how long it will be this way. Seriously, nothing to worry about!

Bumps on my nose...not red, not acne, not blackheads, not whiteheads..what?
Hello.
In late middle school I started getting big pimples on my nose and i would get rid of them by putting hot water and ice on them or by popping them. But when they developed the third time the pimples never fully developed. Now I just have a bunch of skin colored (not red or whatever) bumps on my nose. They do not burn, itch or hurt at all, just plain old bumps. They are not developing pimples since I am not 23 years old and these have been around since I was about 15. I know it doesn't take 8 years for a pimple to grow! I don't know how to get rid of these bumps, I've tried all kinds of acne medications but I realize now that its not acne. They aren't whiteheads or blackheads and aren't red. They are just bumps under the skin that look like developing pimples but they won't go away. Please help I've tried everything I don't know how to get rid of these bumps. I would go to a dermatologist but it costs too much for even a consultation and I do not have that kind of money.

You need to stop playing with this and get a professional opinion from a dermatologist—work out a payment plan, go to a clinic, or see what a local medical school has to offer..
Reply:seek a consult with a laser hair removal type person. They specialize in other things like your face and roscea and photofacial laser treatment, etc. They usually always give free consults. They might be able to tell you what it is and even treat it. These folks are trained on skin conditions as well. Good luck.
Reply:without seeing them, it sounds like milia. hard white bumps...that dont pop?? milia is small tho...so not sure.
i would go to a medical spa and ask....most are free consults.

Large White Bumps on my Chin that are NOT pimples or zits?!?!?
I get these hard, very painful white raised bumps on my chin. The first time I tried popping it, thinking it was a pimple. I felt like there was a little tiny hole in the center of the large bump in which maybe pus or acne could come out. Indeed, I finally, after a STRUGGLE, popped it and just a little whiteness and pus came out.
However, the bump on my chin remained raised. It would not go away. I tried popping more of it, although nothing would come out. Eventually, I played with it too much and an entire layer of my skin came off, looking like a huge ugly gremlin, as I like to call it. I put a bandaid on my chin until it healed 1 1/2 weeks later.
Now, I have two raised bumps on my skin and I don't want huge ugly gremlins anymore so I dont try to pop them. However, I still have huge, ugly, painful white bumps on my skin that definitely are not pimples or zits. What is going on? What are these things? How do I treat it?

my sister had this problem not too long ago. Don't pop them, eventually they'll start bleeding. Try some kind of acne wash containing sacrylic acid.

Can I cure this skin problem on my nose without surgery? I'm in Florida. It's a common ailment here.
First, it was a "bleeder." Then a bump. Then skin roughed up further on the nose. I know doctors around here like to cut and chop on those, but are there any alternatives? They say it's skin cancer and if I don't have surgery on it now and then I might die. Well, why don't people in other locations get it, then?

They do get skin cancers. Especially in coastal areas. My mother and step-father have both had cancers removed from their forearms. Both are avid fishermen and spend a lot of time on the water in the sun. As far as I know they really have to remove the cancerous cells from your skin to prevent further growth and spreading. Removing plugs (as they call it) is generally considered the best means of doing this when dealing with skin cancer, I don't think they'd waste their time with any other treatment since removal would solve the problem and the meds and procedures associated w/ cancer treatment are not very good for us to use unnecessarily. Spending as much time in the sun w/o appropriate coverage and block re-applied as needed skin cancer is part of the risk you take living where you are. Just like learning protecting oneself from frostbite and hypothermia in Minnesota in the winter is part of living there.
Reply:my dad had the samething right above his mouth and IT WAS skin cancer. You need to have it removed ASAP! People in every state get skin cancer.

Bumps on my skin?
Bumps can be caused by make up, dry skin and if you have them around your nose it's called black heads.Wash your face 2 times a day and apply mosturizer after each time and especially at night.Try dove mosturizer, it works super well and is not that expensive.
Reply:See your dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis.
Reply:little bumps... black heads.. whiteheads, pimple all r acne...
(but they dont ich or pain a lottttttttt)... all these happens when open pore on your skin start collecting dirt, make up, oils etc... keep your skin clean...
it can be allergy of any cosmetic you use... so take care abt that also...
