Avatar n tn Its like an sore that does not heal. Both are the size and shape of my middle fingernail. In other words if you took your middle finger pressed the nail against your skin and it made an indentation, that is what the size of the lesion is. I am not sexually active, could I have scratched myself and since they are in warm moist area that gets no air they got iritated and will not heal. They cause pain on washing or drying but otherwise not noticible.

Avatar f tn last week, as i was getting out the shower, i saw an indentation just above my nipple on that same side. that is pretty close to where the lump is. also, my skin looks just slightly bruised there (just above the arreola). the indentation is only noticeable when the nipple is erect. any guesses on what this may mean? i have not called the dr yet, as there has just been too much going on and i have not had time to call.
Avatar m tn Disc bulge with right foraminal disc protrusion at C4-C5 disc causing anterior thecal sac indentation and mild right neural foraminal narrowing with no significant exiting / traversing nerve root compression. Diffuse disc bulge with central and left paracentral disc protrusion at C5-C6 disc causing anterior thecal sac indentation and moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing with no significant exiting / traversing nerve root compression.
Avatar m tn Diffuse disc Bulge with bilateral uncovertebral arthropathy at c4-5 level causing indentation over thecal sac without canal stenosis of bilateral recesses and neural foramina without nerve roots involvement. Diffuse disc Bulge with bilateral uncovertebral arthropathy at c5-6 level causing indentation over thecal sac without canal stenosis, narrowing of bilateral recesses and neural foramina without nerve roots involvement.
Avatar m tn Disc dessication at all levels except C7 - D1 Right paracentral disc extrusion at C3-C4 level causing indentation of ventral thecal sac and abutting the right existing nerve. Broad based posterocentral disc protrusion at C5-C6 level causing indentation of ventral thecal sac Left paracentral disc extrusion at C6-C7 level causing indentation of ventral thecaal sac on left side . How bad is the situation. Is there a surgeey required ?

Avatar n tn Fused with L5 and S1, L4-5 diffuse disc bulge with disc desiccation causing anterior thecal sac indentation without significance neural compromise. AP Spinal Diameter - L1 (1.35), L2(1.35),L3(1.35), L4(1.35), L4-5(0.85) , L5(1.1) Sacroiliac Joints - appears normal C4-5 diffuse disc bulge causing anterior thecal sac indentation without significant neural compromise.
Avatar m tn - quite marked indentation of the thecal sac and distortion of the cord. I am suspicious there maybe a little high signal within the cord itself. At C5/6 there is some monor disc bulging which does cause thecal sac indentation. CONCLUSION:- difficult interperetation due to extensive artifact. further assessment required but certainly on these appearances I could not exclude significant indentation of the thecal sac and cord. Will this require further surgery?
Avatar f tn There is some Luschka joint spurring, left greater than right at C3-C4 with minimal ventral thecal sac indentation. Luschka joint spurring and some transverse disc protrusion at C4-C5 with minimal ventral thecal sac indentation. Luschka joint spurring and transverse disc protrusion at C5-C6 with moderate ventral thecal sac indentation.
Avatar f tn Last week I noticed that there is an indentation on the outer thigh area and I can feel it in the muscle. I am so scared. Could the indentation be from doing no physical activity for 5 months or is this a much bigger issue pairing it with the bubbling sensations? I went to my doctor one month ago about this (before I noticed the indentation) and she said that I didn't have muscle weakness - she only pressed down on my calves as I pushed against her. I would appreciate your input.
Avatar f tn I have a "band-like" indentation on my upper right thigh and was recently given an MRI which returned results of no clear evidence of abnormality in that leg. They did notice a mild edema on the left femur, but I was notified that isn't uncommon and not to worry. I am being refered to a surgeon for the upper right thigh. I am wondering what could be causing this indentation if the MRI didnt show any tumors or growths, which is great news.

Avatar m tn Do you think the virus will transfer from my hand to zipper to then underneath my fingernail? Is it possible to get underneath the fingernail from a small metal zipper?
Avatar f tn I also have an indentation after receiving a steroid shot in my buttock area. This has been there awhile now at least 6 months ago. I had addressed this with the nurse months later and she stated that I had no muscle in that area and that's what caused this. I am not overweight and walk all day so I am puzzled why this had happened. I don't see it because of the location of the indentation but my husband does and it infuriates him to say the least.
Avatar f tn The only thing that the oral surgeon say was a slight indentation in my jaw under that tooth that could have come from the novocaine injection. I had told the oral surgeon that the dentist that did the first root canal could not get me numb, unusual because I have had root canals and fillings, etc. before and never had a problem gatting numb. Anyway, he did something I have never had before which was injected into my jawbone with the novocaine.
872485 tn?1240603562 Hi everyone! I have just noticed within the last 2 weeks, that I have a dip my left breast just right of my nipple. I don't know if it would be classified as an indentation or not. I haven't felt any lumps, but honestly I don't know what to feel for. I notice it most when I raise my arms above my head and I can see it when I don't, however it's not as noticible w/ my arms down.
Avatar m tn I have noticed an indentation above the tip of my nose. The skin looks find but it looks bad because it gives off a shadow. I'm not sure how to get rid of this. I went to a dermatologist and was told to get a biopsy but that would just make it deeper. It may have been caused by the removal of a blackhead but I'm not 100% sure. Is there anyway to fix a slight dent if it was caused by a blackhead removal?
Avatar f tn I have a small indentation on my back under my shoulder. It’s on my tattoo so it’s hard to tell what color it is. I’ve had this tattoo for several years, so it’s already healed. Lately it’s been itching like crazy and now it’s burning really bad where the indentation is. I’m worried it could be skin cancer.
Avatar m tn Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
