Liver Spots Treatment

Question by House M.D: So. House M.D. crew. We have the second case?
Female – 51 year old
1. Skin problems (some red coin-sized spots on the back of the scalp with flakes on it. Similar to psoriasis, but except one problem – no one of her family has ever had it) It quickly responds to Bethametasone+Fusidic acid treatment. After 10 days – reappears
2. Facial skin problems, especially around the nose. Swelling, dry skin with brown surface (like impetigo) but is mostly not bactery related disease. Most likely allergy to Burr oil , or A+E vitamine overdose – but it is on 7 days from the oil use… Doesn’t respond to Tea Tree treatment, nor antihistamine treatment (H1 receptor antagonist)

other ingredients, which could cause allergy (Polyacrilic Acid from moisturizing cream)

When she wakes up , her face is covered with dry surface. And also she has bags under her eyes. She drinks a lot of water, but it is too marked. Has suffered from Hepatitis and has her liver damaged.
Bethamethasone+Fusidic treatment stopped 2 weeks ago, and a week before 2.nd disease appeared.

Regardless of what these signs mean, I would have a culture done to see what WILL help this go away. I would check for MRSA, right away. MRSA gets totally out of hand very easily if left unchecked, right away. The culture should tell you what is happening. Is she allergic to Bactrim? If not, I would try that, while the culture is being done.

HELP I can’t get rid of ring worm!!!?

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by Nikki: HELP I can’t get rid of ring worm!!!?
Ok it has been about 2 months now that I have had this RING WORM. I started the treatment with a over the counter anti-fungal, didn’t work. I called my doctor and she called me in a perscription that is a anti fungal and steroid cream mix called “Clotrimazole and Betameethasone” Keep in mind I am a very clean person, I have cleaned my sheets every other day. Washing clothing and towels after one use etc. Ok so I started using the cream perscribed, did seem to help the 6 spots that I had at the time, although new ones were accumlating. I just made sure I was constintly putting the cream on all day on all spots.

Well all of a sudden it was like the spots that dried up came back with like 1-2 small blister things. Strange!! Also I called the doctor made a appt. this time. Went in to see her and she was saying she wesn’t so sure it was ring worm. At this time I had about 10 spots. She was wasnt sure what it may be. So she ended up deciding it must be ring worm and she now perscribed me a oral anti-fungal called “Fluconazole” I only got one pill that day and went back a week later to the pharmacy to get a refill for another one. Apparently They can only perscribe one at a time because it can be very bad for your liver if you don’t wait seven days for the second dose etc. SO needless to say it has been 3 days since I took the second pill and OH MY GOD! I noticed two more new rings on my arm yesterday! I am so nervous and scared!! The other spots are still there too they just dont itch or look as bad anymore. What is happening to me? Anyone experiance this before? any information about this would be super helpful. I go back to the doctors thursday!

Oh and I beleive i got this from my new kittens, although they have been to the vet and he didnt see anything, but he did say they could still b carriers in the fur or something. But he said it goes away on its own.. I dont know what to beleive about that either…Help

Prevention & Treatment for Ringworm

Questions or suggestions? Check out our Personal Hygiene Forum.
This should be obvious, but if you don’t want to get ringworm, don’t share personal items. Keep your towels, socks, underwear, and other unmentionables to yourself. This of course bars the use of towels as whips in the shower. I know that you may be thinking, “But, Jonathan, I really like running around naked in public showers whipping unsuspecting strangers on their butts with a wet towel.” If this is the case, then perhaps its time you took that big step and visited a highway rest area one of these nights.

Keep cool, dry, and clean to avoid a ringworm infection. Yes, because it’s a fungal infection, ringworm can be avoided by staying clean and dry. Don’t wear heavy clothing that doesn’t breathe well for very long, and whatever you do, don’t forget to wear flip-flops in the shower if you live in a dormatory. Ringworm thrives in warm, humid places, so it’s best to avoid them or at least protect yourself if you can’t avoid them. Oh, and wash your hands!

Lamisil is a common antifungal cream used to get rid of ringworm. You’ve seen the commercials. Thank the lord we have things like antifungal creams. As I mentioned before, ringworm, or the fungus that causes it, is quite closely related to athlete’s foot. Thus, anything that will cure the tinea that causes athlete’s foot should cure your average ringworm infection.

Monistat-Derm is another common antifungal topical lotion used to cure ringworm. Unbeknownst to a majority of men, Monistat isn’t just for vaginas anymore. Monistat actually makes a pretty good antifungal skin cream that can help wipe out a ringworm infection in less than three weeks. It is suggested that any over-the-counter topical antifungal medicine be applied to the rash 2 times a day for at least 3 weeks to ensure adequate treatment.

I don’t know if I’d do this, but apparently spreading bleach over a ringworm infection with a Q-tip is a common treatment. Quite a few people I’ve talked to say that using bleach on a ringworm infection will clear it right up. The problem is, you’ll get two different descriptions of what it feels like to put bleach on a skin infection; you’ll either hear that it “sort of stings,” or that it “really, really strings.” Wrestlers who don’t have time for creams and ointments swear by this method. Of course, that might have been the concussions talking.

Help with diet/eating for someone with Pancreatic Cancer?

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by psrobi: Help with diet/eating for someone with Pancreatic Cancer?
My Dad was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago and is having a really hard time eating which I know is normal, but I wondered if anyone can give some advice on what types of foods to eat or avoid and if there are any enzymes or other supplements that will help him with digestion. His cancer seems to be only in the pancreas, an adrenal gland and there are spots which we assume to be cancer on his liver, but not much. The initial doctor was amazed it wasn’t in the stomach or lungs. We have appointments this week for further diagnosis and treatment but other than drinking the Ensure liquid he’s having a tough time. I’m hoping to help him with trying to maintain the weight he is at currently which is low but I hate to see him loose more if there is some help available. Thanks for any help you can give.

Answer by Lauren
If your father is having chemotherapy then this may well affect his appetite and taste. He may want small amounts and these should be as often as possible. Let him try lots of different things. If he is able then plenty of fruit, vegetables and protein would be good and fruit drinks.

Age Spots Cause

Question by staygold: age spot removal?
I am 28 yrs old and have fair skin. I have never been one for tanning in my younger years & have never gotten sunburned. Everyday I use SPF 15, I wear a hat when going out & in general I avoid the sun like the plague.At a very young age I have been anti-age obsessed, unline the other girls my age who would tan. So you can imagine my shock when on my left cheek I developed a SUN SPOT! First, I can’t imagine how since as I said I take so many precautions. And 2nd, I want to get rid of it. I went to a dermatologist who confirmed it was a sun spot. She put me on Tretioin 0.25% cream. However, creams like Retin-A, hyrdroquinone tend to scare me.For one, I really don’t want chemicals on my face. Hydroquinone has cancer causing properties and is banned for use in Eurpoe. And Retin-A may actually WORSEN hyperpigmentation on spots and can reoccur once you stop using it.
What I am looking for is a NATURAL way that is effective in PERMANENTLY erasing this spot!!!!!!!!!
BTW for anyone who doesn’t know, there is no true SPF higher than 15. They just put that on the package but it’s a hoax. The actual protection doesn’t go any higher.

I think you can buy a bleaching cream for that, but you have to apply it every few weeks..

Americans are ignoring warnings about indoor tanning, Tampa dermatologist says

BBC WM skin cancer interview
Melanoma

Image by Lee Jordan
Hopefully going out on Monday’s breakfast show on 95.6FM in the Midlands, a recorded interview, a different perspective on skin cancer.

We have to stop talking about the sun as we can’t control it, we must focus on the things we can actually do something about, like national screening programmes and the ABC of melanoma.

Are You Moleaware?

More and more young people are getting melanoma, the most dangerous form and it’s really not because we keep sunbathing, quite the reverse in fact with office workers being at far higher risk of Melanoma than non-melanoma skin cancer and a lot of UV exposure isn’t from sun bathing it’s from day to day stuff like walking.

Melanoma is also claiming increasingly young lives simply because the cancer is detected too late and that’s because we only hear about the sun, but it’s skin cancer, not sun cancer.

We don’t hear about skin and what to look for, what does skin cancer actually look like and would you pass off a mole as not being cancer (I did).

The interview I hope is a fresh perspective on how to get people to focus on their skin and not the sun.

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by Nena☮: I have a question about cancer and chemotherapy.?
my mother has colon cancer and was treated for five weeks with chemotherapy capsules. She finished her five week treatment and discovered that her cancer spread to her liver. She is off treatment for a month and will start her iv chemotherapy in a month. I heard that there is something called “Titano” en Mexico that allows her to have a spot for her injection to go in without them having to poke her and stuff. Any idea what it can be ? What is the best hospital we can attend in L.A that accept medical. Harbor UCLA is not working for us atm the app. dates are to far from each other i feel like we are letting time pass by (btw i have the iv question because my mom goes through pain everytime they inject her because they cant find her vains) thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by april
She wants a port put in so they just have to inject the chemo through that instead of poking her every time.The other question can be answered by someone that lives in or near LA, as I’m way on the other side of the country and only know about the best here..

Why won’t my dog stop chewing herself?

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by beckylamons: Why won’t my dog stop chewing herself?
My dog Kylie, an australian shepard mix, is suffering incredibly and we can not figure out what is going on with her. First question, are fleas immune to Frontline now (9/14/09)? We have frontlined all three of our dogs regularly, bombed the house thoroughly, as well as bombed the yard in which they are let out in, but we are still occasionally seeing fleas.
She has almost completely lost all of her fur from CONSTANT chewing and scratching. We have taken her to the vet numerous times and they have never really given us a straight answer on what it is. They said it was not mange and I believe this is correct because it has not spread to either of our other dogs (Chocolate Lab and Golden Retriever). The vet has given her steroids to help and Benedryl to try and reduce the itching. They also told us to keep frontlining her regularly. We give her baths in Nature’s Specialties Re-Moisterizer with Aloe, which is supposed to be like a hot oil treatment weekly. Plus a bath every once or two weeks. I have used “hot-spot” treatment spray, lavender shampoos, mint shampoos, oatmeal shampoos, everything we can think of. We also thought it may be a bacterial yeast infection on the inside, so we switched her food from dry dog food to homemade meals of brown rice, vegetables, chunks of boiled chicken, and chicken livers (occasionally). She has been on this diet for about 3 months now and we have seen no change. Many times I’ve come very close to getting her a “lampshade” elizabethinan collar, but I can’t bring myself to do it. She looks absolutely pityful and I know she is miserable. We are exhausted and are desperate for help from anyone who may know what this is. I have attached some pictures (warning: she looks pretty pathetic). She is a really sweet girl and we love her dearly. Please no rude or obnoxious comments because that will be of no help. We just want our dog to get better, so serious and sincere answers only please. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Here’s the website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35520461@N03/

Best answer:

Answer by Jessie
I’m not an expert, but maybe you should try a different flea treatment, seems that the frontline is not working. a “lampshade” would actually be a good idea, just so that she cant hurt herself and irritate her skin more than she already has.
Not being able to itch, seems bad. but in the long run, i beleive its the best option.
you should keep “bombing” the house and yard, to try and get rid of the flea’s
as for her already irritated skin, ask your vet if there is a lotion or a treatment to reduce the irritation.

good luck!

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by hnybzthms: Mum’s having a ct scan for cancer?
Hi my mum had kidney cancer in 2007 and had her right kidney removed Jan 08 and was told it was a stage 3 cancer, she had no further treatment as kidney cancer doesn’t respond to chemo and the new drugs available now weren’t in 2007/08, in March 09 they found a spot on her liver and they have told her that the cancer has spread there, and she is now under the oncologist.

My question is in March 09 she only had one spot on her liver 1.5cm on the left lob, so it is just over 3 months since her last scan, and she is going to be having an up to date ct scan in the next couple of wks.

Does cancer alter much in 3 months? She has had NO treatment in that time, and what are the chances it wouldn’t of changed at all in that time?
My mum has seen surgeon regarding having part of liver removed, but is not having this done, they are going to try Radio frequency ablition
