Avatar n tn from next door, every time they come around i can feel it.they have a nasty dog that growls and itches 24/7.a white dog with black skin.red irritated spots and its hair is falling out.we have lived here for over 30 years an never ever have experienced any thing like this.my dogs now have dieareha and red patches that nolonger have hair and are constantly itching.this has been going on for a month now.humans and dogs.iv tryed ignoring it.but i cant take it any more.
Avatar n tn Now the bump seems to have reduced in size greatly in over the past couple of days. but there is still a bump (much smaller) with dry skin. when i pull the skin tight the bump disappears... and the bump has always been subcutaneous...except for the dry skin on top...but could that be from the acne medicine that I put on to dry it out...it is a little sore and it also seems to get smaller with a warm water compress.
Avatar f tn The other possibility which can present with nail pitting as well thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin is psoriasis. It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get these two possibilities probed. Blood tests and biopsy skin can help in confirming the diagnosis. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and get steroids prescribed.
Avatar m tn It doesn't sound like a wart. Maybe just a natural variation in the skin in that area. But the only way to be certain is exam by a health professional.

"She's a miracle baby," the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. "But still, what on earth happened here?" What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blue-eyed, blond-haired white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital. "The first thing I said was, 'What the flip?
Avatar m tn The telbivudine has my viral load undetectable again, but there is a more accurate dna test- NGA HBV UltraQual-and it is positive.
Avatar f tn Hello, I hope you are able to get some good answers here. I'm in a similar boat. Chronic HB, probably infected in infancy, have known for 9 years. I had seroconverted by the time of dx. Since then I have been UND DNA when tested (irregularly until about 2 years ago). 9 months ago was my first detectable DNA...still very low but I am concerned about the pre-core mutant.
Avatar n tn He also developed chronic a-fib for the last 4 yrs which is part of the mutation. He has dilated left and right artiums and a left artrim volume of 82 ml. He has a BAV and ASD, both are mild. He wants to get a albation (PVI) but our current EP says because 4 cardioversion attemps failed (he never got a NSR) and the fact that he has been chronic for several years and the englarged LA he wont do it. We want another opinion. What do you think?
Avatar f tn Apparently this mutation can have many effects that can range from mild to severe (lots of people have the mutation). Nothing I have read indicates miscarriage is a likely result. Here is one link. https://draxe.
Avatar f tn A person may either be born with a genetic mutation in all of their cells (germline mutation) or acquire a genetic mutation in a single cell during his or her lifetime. An acquired mutation is passed on to all cells that develop from that single cell (called a somatic mutation). Most melanomas (about 90%) are considered sporadic, meaning that the damage to the genes occurs by chance after a person is born.
Avatar f tn Thank you for responding. I will continue to research the BRAC mutations, but I'm not understanding if my DIL's BRAC 2 mutation is a 'mutation of a mutation.' Any reading mateirals you could point me to would be most helpful; however, I know you are busy and will not be offended if you do not have time to answer this post. Thank you for confirming what I know. My DIL's prognosis is grim.
Avatar n tn I have this rash for quite sometime now. It's around the base of my penis and around my tesicals. It's not red nor white. Not ichy. Does not bother me at all. Infact I don't notice it most of the time, unless I take a closer look at it. It appears to be under the skin. no bumbs. It's a bit lighter than the pigment of my skin. What do you think?
Avatar m tn Till now we developed some the same symptoms generalised lymphodenopaty, skin blood spots, white patches on skin , dizzying, loss of hair and some separate symptoms mom and me complain of intermittent fever from accute infection till now oral problems liver problems.
Avatar n tn It looks like sort of a mole but a little off of being skin colored. He recenly saw his doctor for a work related injury, and asked him about it. His doctor said it could be warts. And said it could have been contracted by me, (I'm the only person he's ever had sex with). And since his doctor said that, I've noticed little white bumps around my vagina, but not in clusters. Just a sporadic white bump.
Avatar m tn In sufferers of the disease, the skin contains massive, diamond-shaped scales, and tends to have a reddish color. Diagnosis is done by genetic testing and biopsy skin. Genetic testing is the most specific diagnostic test for harlequin ichthyosis. This test reveals a mutation on the ABCA12 gene. Biopsy of skin may be done to assess the histologic characteristics of the cells.
Avatar f tn Some people do have a genetic mutation call CCR5 delta-32 deletion, which protects them against most types of HIV (but not all)
Avatar f tn A woman without the BRCA mutation ( a genetic mutation which runs in families and causes ovarian cancer) has a 1.4% of getting ovarian cancer in a life time. The odds are very low it is ovarian cancer. 2. It is rarer still to get ovarian cancer before the age of 40. 3. By the time you have symptoms for ovarian cancer it would probably show up on a CT scan. Women do not have symptoms for ovarian cancer until they have had it awhile. 4.
678312 tn?1310010574 My son and I both tested positive for a mutation of SCN5A Tyr 87 Cys. after Mayo Clinic noticed that my ekg showed a short qt interval (although not extremely short) and then they seen that his was also, just not quite as short as mine. We were there because he had suffered SCD in 2008, possibly from Super Ventricular Tachycardia. He also has bradycardia, low blood pressure and has had A-fib since getting his ICD.
Avatar f tn It is not contagious but it is a mutation of a contagious disease. It can not be diagnosed in a living cat yet there is a “FIP test”. There is a vaccine but it doesn’t work in most cats and there is some thought that it can actually help to induce FIP. So let’s start at the beginning. There is a virus in cats called Feline Coronavirus. This virus usually doesn’t cause illness or if it does just a little diarrhea or intestinal inflammation. It targets only gut cells. It is very common.
Avatar f tn Is there any genetic disorder or mutation is causing the problem? What is the name of this disease? Is there other people who are suffering from the same symptoms? Is there any remedy? Is there any clinical test to diagnose the inherited cause? Is there any website where I can get more information about the same? Thank you.

Avatar f tn A white spot on your skin isn't a symptom of HIV. Go get tested any time now for your conclusive result.
Avatar f tn I do have epilepsy as well,and I have skin lesions such as the white skin patches the skin tumors on internal organs as well as angiomyolypomas on my kidneys. I also have the skin tags,and tumors under fingernails and toenails. Although I did not develop those until later in my teens. I have also gotten support from the TSC alliance. They are a great group and I usually find answers to my Tuberous Sclerosis inquiries. Take care and god bless you and your daughter.
