Do I Have Inverse Psoriasis Or Is It Alcoholism (zinc Deficiency)?

Alan — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 06:44:28 +0000

I have seen many, many dermatologists, and no one can figure out what is wrong with me. Whenever I sweat, I get a rash under my “right” armpit, never my left. NEVER my left, just my right armpit. Sometimes I get a rash in other skinfolds, but normally it is isolated in my right armpit.
It all began about two years ago. One day rashes started breaking out between my legs, and before I knew it, I was in the hospital getting serious antihistamine treatment–during this first out-break, my armpits were completely covered, my neck was covered, the folds of my knees were covered, and my elbow folds were covered in rashes. The Doctor put me on prednisone and it zapped it, but ever since I have been battling this rash under my right armpit. And it gets to hurting sometimes.
But this is the catch: I am a very, very bad drinker. I used to drink up to a fifth (of liquor) a day, and now I drink 12 to 18 beer a day. A famous psoriasis specialist, who I contacted via email, said that drinking is my problem–I am 23 years old and she believes drinking is my problem. But my local dermatologists have sent biopsies that have come back distorted: one will say psoriasis, another will say spongyitis dermatitis, and another will say dermatititis.
Can anyone tell me what I have? What to do in response to it? The psoriasis specialist who said it is my alcoholism said for me to quit drinking and take lots of Zinc supplements. Is this maybe the solution?
If you plan to help me, I can email you and articulate further.

Ear Infections And Dog Not Responding When Called?

Alan — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:46:02 +0000

My my 7 year old female Bichon’s (Claudette’s) ears had been bothering her a little so we brought her to the vet and she had ear infections in both ears. We were given medication for her ears to help them and she’s been given the drops since last Wednesday and we’ll stop on Friday. Well, ever since about last Friday she’s not acting herself. She has stopped begging for food which she used to do. It seems like she’s having a hard time hearing. Today I went in the driveway, and usually she’s at the door and she wasn’t. She was laying on my parents bed on the other side of the house, looking at me like “when did you get here?!” I’m worried that she’s losing her hearing. Could the ear drops be doing this? I figured with her begging for food she’d be able to smell what we’re eating, too. We’ve been giving her 250 mg of Cephalexin two times a day, a generous amount of Tri-Otic ear drops into each ear twice a day, and we’ve been washing her every day with Etiderm. (She also has dermatitis at the moment.) She is, like I said, 7 years old and weighs roughly 25 pounds. She IS going to the vet July 11th for a checkup, but if she gets worse the vet WILL be contacted. We love her and we don’t mess around if she’s not healthy.

Mother In Law Is Being Treated For A Yeast Infection But…?

Alan — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:45:10 +0000

around October 7th we all went swimming in an overchlorinated hot tub and my sister in law and I both got urinary tract infection’s and my mother in law supposedly got a yeast infection. However, she is currently on Diflucan for that and Lorazapam to help her sleep and there is no relief, her symptoms are redness and rawness on the outside of the vagina and it just hurts as well as she has been complaining of abdominal pain she has no discharge and no odor. She is also very exhausted. These meds aren’t working and she has contacted several doctors (one who didn’t even look) Is there anything else she can try that isn’t going to have all these side effects and does anyone think it could be irritant dermatitis? Help!!!

Can Someone Who Knows Dermatology Please Answer This?

Alan — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:47:38 +0000

I was a healthy person for the first twenty-one years of my life. But about two years ago, I broke out in rashes all over my body. My entire groin (not penis, just surrouning areas), armpits, neck, and elbow folds had uncontrollable rashes. Basically all my skin folds. It got worse, so I had to be hospitalized and injected with Benadryl. That didn’t work, so the doctor put me on Prednisone (which is a powerful steroid tablet). Ever since, for the past two years, I have had a recurring rash in my right armpit. Sometimes a rash will appear in my elbow folds, but it goes away. And sometimes, though rarely, I get a rash between my legs. This, too, goes away quickly. But my right armpit is always breaking out in a rash. Never my left, just my right. And it is somewhat debilitating, as it is painful and screws up my social life.
I have seen several dermatologists and had several biopsies. No one can agree with what is happening to me. The biopsies come back as inverse psoriasis or dermatitits. And spongyitis dermatitits. The “inverse psoriasis” biopsy was taken from my armpit, which is where the rash is most severe. The “dermatitis” biopsy was taken from my elbow fold.
One of the dermatologists refuses to accept that I have inverse psoriasis. He just shakes his head and says he doesn’t know. The other doctor finds it hard to believe, but he doesn’t fight the diagnosis. All they do is give me steroid cream.
However, there is a catch. I am a very bad alcoholic. Very bad alcoholic. And this all began not long after I began drinking hard liquor. I have even gone as far to contact a world famous psoriasis specialist who works out of UCLA. I emailed her everything that has gone wrong with me, and was honest with her about my drinking problem. She says that my drinking is causing the rashes. She says that the alcohol is absorbing something in one of my organs and my skin is reacting because of Zinc deficiency. I have not quit drinking, but if someone could maybe convince me that the drinking is causing all my problems then I might have the iniative to give it a try.
Thank you.

Why Shouldn’t My 10 Week Old Puppy Go Outside?

Alan — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:43:23 +0000

The shelter told me to keep my 10 week old puppy indoors for another 2 weeks as she has to get the rabies vaccine. She also has mild dermatitis, and her skin apparently itches and causes her to scratch herself. She sometimes goes to the door and sits there wagging her tail, looking at me as if she wants to go outside. I can’t see how she would get rabies without coming into contact with other animals. Are there other reasons why she shouldn’t be outside yet? I’m wondering if walking her on the grass in my backyard would harm her. I want to do what’s best for her.

Is There An Effective Treatment For Lympadema That Works Long Term?

Alan — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:44:40 +0000

My mum has had breast cancer 7 years ago, had had 12 lymph nodes removed from under her arm, has had chronic dermatitis on both hands 3 years after her radiotherepy, and was advised it may have been a reaction to tamoxifen. Later an allergy test was done, found to now be allergy to rubber when hands make contact…all very strange. She now has chronic lymphadema on both arms, she has been treated at a lyphadema clinic over 2 weeks, it went away then came back days later, attempts to follow excercises etc. She went for a PET scan and they found a suspicious lump in her chest a CT scan will answer our fear tommorrow. I just want some of these problems eased…please help.

The Verdict Is Finally In!?

Alan — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:43:20 +0000

The skin biopsy results finally came in today and…
The balding donkey has dermatitis due to vasculitis causing atrophied hair follicles. Its caused from either auto-immune disease or strep and the donkey has never been sick.. so the first one is what we are treating for.
The vet is now calling CSU to see if we can treat him with steroids topically and not systemically due to the fat deposits that donks get and we don’t want to cause that on him..
I know there really aren’t alot of long ear owners on here, but if you guys know anyone that is reputable in treating mules/donks or have had this condition on your own equine, can you let me know. This is the first case my vet has had and being he is a donkey is adding added problems with treatment.
Feel free to email me with a contact person if you have one that I can pass onto my vet.
I and Ozzy really appreciate it!
