I had stitches, clear ooze and sometimes white congealed lumps of goo about the size of a pea coming out of the 1/4" wound along the incision line for several months. It would heal up and then open again. Surgeon kept blowing me off for months. He finally did the "wound revision" a week b4 xmas (Decompression surgery 6/09).
Avatar n tn The skin around my toenails are turning very white when it gets wet. Simply wearing shoes and sweating makes them wet. Spending a long time in water will make then SUPER white. Its embarrassing and i would like to know how to treat it. Symptoms as follows: -skin feels thick, and calloused when dry.
Avatar f tn It is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Diagnosis can be confirmed by external examination, blood tests to check skin cell count for melanocytes and biopsy of the skin patches. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar m tn I go back in a week to get my stitches off, should I be worried about the yellowish discharge now? Bandages for my skin biopsy are making my skin red and itchy around the bandaged area because I am sensitive and possibly allergic to them. What should I apply? Also are there any types of bandages that are less sensitive to the skin? I also accidentally slept on the side of my biospy and it turned a bit black, is this normal?
Avatar f tn Anyway, I felt like fainting after the stitches were out and it really hurt because it felt like the stitches were growing into the skin...ouch!! But dr. said everything looks healthy and healed. I went home and was so tired, went to sleep and have been sleeping as much as possible because I feel soooo weak and when I'm sleeping, have the sweats CONSTANTLY. So thirsty too. I always have had a lower blood temperature like 97.5 but for me, I would say i had a low grade fever at 98.2.

419792 tn?1208270826 She may not feel like eating much for the first 48 hours after surgery due to the anesthesia and pain. Plain white rice and canned white chicken usually go down pretty easily in the beginning. Just keep an eye on the incision for any swelling or redness that goes beyond the actual incision. A tiny bit of draining between stitches is OK, but a lot of thick, smelly drainage isn't. Incision problems or an obvious fever need to be reported to your veterinarian.
Avatar n tn Stitches usually dissolve in a few weeks. Though it does vary, some may take longer and some shorter. And not all dissolvable stitches actually dissolve. They may have to be removed.As for the others, I don't think it'd be a problem, though I can't be sure on that one.

1283844 tn?1447474493 It is red on one side with tiny white spots around the red that I think are blisters. Is any thing other than salt water safe to use since I still have stitches and had recent extractions?
Avatar n tn While some patients do use this as a work around from potential hair loss at the site of the stitches, you want a doctor that has examined you to tell you if it is appropriate for you specifically. While it is done, it is not something you should do on your own. And please remember that minoxidil can cause mild skin irritation at the site of application which may be irritating on the wound. Let us know what your doctor says.
Avatar n tn 2 days after the biopsy was done, i noticed that there was a white string like tissue that was just barely hanging out of the biopsy site. when i pulled on it, it came out a little bit, and receded back into my skin when i let go of it. i am 100% sure that it was not a stitch as the stitches i had were only purple , and the Dr did not put any dissolving stitches in me.
Avatar n tn and now it is almost cured after i applied the cream it got worst at the beginning i had white skin covering the irritated area and when i rubbed it to take out the white thin skin i could see clear liquid coming out of the red skin and one hour letter i had the white skin again, i guess the liquid was there to form new healthy skin i assume but now it is getting better. Thank you for your help.
Avatar f tn The easiest way to tell is if they tan with your skin or stay white as white can be. If color changes, they can be healed. The oil has a ton of essential oils in it, which keeps the skin moistureized and healthy.
Avatar m tn I have a boxer mix that had a abcess on his right leg just above the elbow. The vet had to do a 3" incision to drian and clean it. Then closed it with stitches. All but one area seems to be healing. The stitches in that one area keep pulling out and the area keeps reopening. The size of about 1/4". I have put steri-strips and bandages on it changing them daily yet this one area keeps opening. I have thought about a super glue for that one area but am not sure.

Avatar f tn My boyfriends dog bust my lip earlier and it bled for about 15 mins and swelled up, the cut is quite deep and gaping but I'm not sure if it needs stitches or not. There is a flap of skin on one side where it has been split which I can slightly lift up with my tongue. I will post the links to some pics of my lip below. Thanks for any advice. http://m.imgur.com/DCzp8Hj http://m.imgur.
Avatar n tn When I wake up I have two white lines on the outside of my body directly over my heart area and my heart hurts until I can get downstairs to eat. These lines are perpendicular to each other and are about 1 and 1/4 inches long each. They are on an angle inbetween vertical and horizontal(a side slant). When I eat a snack before bed at night I do not have this problem. These white lines tend to appear the next morning after I eat a regular dinner at a regular dinner time and do not snack.
