Itchy rash for 2+ months. It’s on back, stomach, arms, armpits, legs…scabies?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

My 2.5 year old son has had a worsening itchy rash for 2+ months. It’s on his back, stomach, arms, armpits, legs. Pretty much everywhere except his face, soles of his feet and palms of his hands. One dr said heat rash and the other is now treating him for scabies and it hasn’t improved yet with that treatment (going on 48hours) and has new ones since then. No one else in our house has any kind of rash so I don’t think it’s scabies. Any other ideas on what it may be or what could be causing it. I have changed laundry soap, stopped using dryer sheets, washed everything I can think of, no lotions etc. could food allergy cause this? HELP

Bumps in my throat, could it be laryngitis, an std or throat cancer?

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

Hello I am a 20 year old female. I have the same sexual partner for 4 years and an ENT doctor looked through with an endoscopy and said it was reflux laryngitis. It has been 1 month since I have noticed it & it has not left. It feels like bumps & looks like the same size, never grew. But I feel stuff caught in the back as well when I swallow but it does not hurt. I have tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia & waiting for results back. I have a picture attached. Could it be laryngitis, an std or throat cancer? Please help.

I am taking thyronorm for a week, again skin allergy started, is it the right meds?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hi Doctor, Hope you are doing good. I’m a 23 years old unmarried woman.
Recently I consulted a dermatologist for skin allergy. He asked me to take blood test and thyroid test.
My T3 level – 2.64 pg/ml ; T4 level – 1.27 ng/dl ; TSH – 31.810 IU/ml.
As per my dermatologist’s advice, I consulted a endocrinologist.
My endocrinologist said that my TSH level is very high and I should take THYRONORM 75mcg for life time (with change in dosages).
After taking thyronorm for a week, again skin allergy started. So I again consulted my dermatologist. He said THYRONORM 75 mcg should be given to people having hyperthyroid and not hypothyroid. I got confused after hearing his statement.
Am I being treated in correct way?
Is it possible to do a surgery for my thyroid imbalance?
Some of my friends suggested me to do Yoga breathing practices and take homeopathy or Ayurvedic treatment as it will give permanent cure.Is that so?

Sorry to ask too many questions. I have many doubts about the newly developed disease. But not getting proper answers anywhere. Hope you will solve all my doubts.
Thanks in advance

I have two cartilage piercings (piercing infections) that seem to be infected?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

Hello! I am an 18 year old female with no history of significant health problems and no past piercing infections. I have two cartilage piercings that seem to be infected? I got them pierced in April and recently decided to switch earrings. While this hurt, I managed to get the new earrings in, it discovered that there were red bleeding bumps on the piercing sites. They’re still there, but now they’re not on the exact piercing site, and more so around it. I’m concerned they’re keloids or something. They are still quite sore and the bumps are still a reddish pink color. What should I do?

I have a lump on my armpit, it is growing and irritating?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

27 Years Old, Male, No medical history.

Main Issue:
– Swelling type of visual on armpit
– Starting to go red and irritated
– Feels tender, almost like Puss built up

Condition:
– Last week I felt I was coming up with a cold
– Friday 07 Oct 2016 I was returning home after a meeting and started to get cold shivers and bursts of hotness in my body causing sweating.
– Also had terrible cough turned flemmy quickly
– Suggesting a virus.
– I’ve taken medication (no antibiotics at this stage as this has started to improve 10 fold).

I have come to notice a few days ago a lump on my armpit and as I have started to touch it more often it’s started to grow and cause irritation. It feels tender and seems like I have some liquid built up inside. Not sure if it’s an infection or anything.

I have in the past shaved my armpits / trimmed but have never had this before.

I would much appreciate your response and suggestions of treatment.

P.S – the Image doesn’t do my description any justice but you should be able to see the red saw area near the bottom and going round to the middle. That is the location of the slight bump. It has certainly gone bigger since yesterday night but that may be because I kept feeling it and may have caused irritation.

Many thanks.

Pain in chest with palpable lump, no diagnosis can be made?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I’ve had this pain in my chest, in the center to the right of my heart.I’ve had it for roughly 3 weeks were it caused a pretty severe and sharp, it was getting worse the pain, started to go away, now returned about a week ago, and the pain is more extreme, sharp and severe than ever..It’s roughly 3 inches from dead center of my chest to the right..It doesn’t go much further than that..feeling around my chest, and I have been doing this for about a week, the pain subsided, not to subsiding completely, but the pain going from a 7-8 to 2-3, than it returned to a constant 8-9..Today I felt a bump exactly where the pain is..and pressing on it lightly Im pretty sure I found the source of the pain..Any person would have gone to the hospital, however I haven’t because I had a back infection (Fungal), that was very rare, only 39 people had this infection before, long story short I was in the hospital for 2 years, so I’m not eager to gour back, though this was back in 2003..Many sites I’ve asked pretty much reply they can’t give a diagnosis, obviously not, just asking an opinion to what I’ve stated what it could be, there are other symptoms that started when the pain started..I don’t want to write more because this is already pretty long.
