arava
i take the leflunomide (arava) but also take pills for the reflux, which does help. I take renitidine i believe it is called. I found it worked pretty good for the swelling myself. I am also on the Embrel, but still do not have R.A under control. I just wanted to say that the arava was the best drug i have taken up until i was put on the embrel. I live in B.
He has been on a combination of Arava 20 mg ( Hydroxychloroquine) and Plaquenil (Leflunomide) . He has been going severly downhill since January and has lost 40 pounds, has constant mucous drainage that he chokes on especially after meals, and has severe shortness of breath. Can these symptoms be a result of the medications he is taking? Is it safe for him to take two synthetic DMARDS at the same time?

Acne is caused by high levels of androgens (hormones) common in teenagers and people in their 20s. Androgens stimulate the oil glands in the skin. Bacteria on the skin feeds off this excess oil, blocking the pores and resulting in acne.
The best way to treat this is with a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline to kill acne-causing bacteria. In addition use a topical retinoid cream called Differin (adapalene) which is very good at clearing up the redness and soreness.
Hello,
Dysplasia means change in the morphology of cells or an abnormality in development. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. It is the earliest form of pre-cancerous lesion and it has to be found out whether it is a low grade or high grade dysplasia or malignancy.
I hope it helps.

Eccrine sweat glands which are present all over the body to regulate the body temperature and Apocrine sweat glands present in the armpits, genital region and breast and secrete certain chemicals called Pheromones. The secretions of Apocrine glands has more protein which is easily broken down by bacteria producing bad odour.
Unhealthy personal hygiene, fungal infections, over weight, eating spicy foods and Diabetes are found to be responsible in most cases.
Hey tiny677.
Welcome to the forum.
For immediate relief try coconut oil over the affected areas and wait till well absorbed before putting any clothing on.
Its antifungal and antimicrobial action combined with the healthy bacteria
from your skin, will help you get much needed relief.
For lasting relief you may want to see a professional that works in Energy Medicine as there's an energetic imbalance in your body- stemming from a previous trauma of sorts-that needs to be cleared.
From the description(dry, red, itchy), it seems like nummular dermatitis but exact confirmation has to be done first. Steroids prescribed in nummular dermatitis can worsen the symptoms if it is ringworm.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps.

For the last year I've had issues with my hands. It started between my fingers and now it covers the palms. I went to a dermatologist and they said it was eczema. They game me a cream and it didn't help. Idk what to do. It gets red bumps and it itches like crazy. My skin is also dry and peeling. I'm constantly having to wear lotion now and my pinky is getting swollen and if I bend it I get horrible pain and it causes my skin to crack and bleed. I'm out of options at this point.
You are more likely to need a cream that is antifungal and antibacterial and a moisturising cream to apply in between. A bath emollient like Dermol 600 may also help.
Also when you have a bath, put in 1-2 handfuls of oats into your bath. I find this helps.
Do not use any soaps or shower gels or bubble baths, these dry the skin and make things much worse. Only war cotton underwear and no tight clothing that are manmade.
Hi. You may wish to repost this in the Dermatology Forum as this is not acne. The best over-the-counter cream I have found for hands is Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream. If it does not improve, your doctor can prescribe a steroid cream.
Vitamins A,C and E are good for skin as is zinc.
These can be due to autoimmune disorder (affection adrenal gland and thyroid), viral infection, neurological problem or due to genetics. Since your son and daughter too have it, it is probably genetic in origin or has an autoimmune component. Other possibilities of a similar white patch are tinea versicolor (fungal infection), idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (usually related to sun exposure) and progressive macular hypomelanosis.
I have had plenty of cysts in my life. If you squeeze out all the pus and then disinfect the wound, you should be fine since the cyst is right on the surface. If you have some antibiotic ointment you can use that.
Some area rather large ring most times no itchy feeling. went to Dermatology Dr and he tried corizone shot, then meds then cream. Dr. did a biopsy it came back as
Grandoloma Annulare. Still till this day I still have it. Somedays it 's more
prominent. Could it be somthing else?
In many respects, the disease behaves as a benign tumor, but in 2-5% of cases it can metastasize, so it should be considered to have malignant potential. So you should wait for the biopsy report.

You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Application of calamine lotion also helps in soothing the skin. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.
Please take a second opinion from a dermatologist if the symptoms persist.
