Question 1

what is atypical pigment network on skin?

Accepted Answer

Skin pigmentation ch: Cheryl,  Best to discuss this with your dermatologist.  Changes in pigmentation of the skin can be associated with certain disease states, and your dermatologist should be able to guide you as to what your specific problem is associated .

Question 2

i had a mildly atypical nevus removed 4 years ago, and a tiny freckle has appeared in the scar. i did have a skin check last year. is this cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

: Any new skin lesion that looks different from your other skin lesions or occurs on unusual areas warrants a check by a dermatologist. Since this lesion is on a scar of a prior atypical nevus, it should be checked by your dermatologist or dermatological surgeon. It may only require periodic monitoring but complete removal of atypical nevi is the gold standard.

Question 3

i'm 39 years old and had mri head. all was clear but they found few focis of 5 mm of unexplained etiology. the neurolist said its nothing. but i am scared. can this cause atypical ttigemn neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

Opinion: Facial pain can be challenging, but your problem is NOT due to any obvious intracranial problem as your MRI is reassuring.  Next task is to check for jaw and dental problems, but sinus issues may play a role.  The term "atypical trigeminal neuralgia" is confusing to me, and needs clarification.  Discuss with your current neurologist or get a second opinion.

Question 4

causes of multiple neuralgias? had burning atypical one side face then it has changed from one side to both and throughout entire head and neck.

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: Multiple neuralgias, in my experience, would be most unusual. I'm concerned that your scattered symptoms may be a type of neuritis or demyelinating disorder like multiple sclerosis. If you've haven't already done so, I recommend an evaluation and treatment by a neurologist. Appropriate testing will be carried out.

Question 5

does melanoma contine to grow and change on skin.  just had mole removed dr feels aytipical no changes at least in last 2 years and seen four derms (6mth screenings) rounded flat dark brown 5-6mm mole?

Accepted Answer

: Please consult with a Dermatologist Doctor who can give you a through examination and the correct recommendations and treatment. If you are not confident in your Doctor see another for a second opinion.

Question 6

i get yearly skin screenings and will continue to do so.  my question is about a previous excised mole.  it was a moderate-severe atypical dysplastic nevus. i know having atypical moles can be a sign of increased chance of melanoma. i've also read that ma

Accepted Answer

Low risk: As long as the atypical nevus was excised with negative margins (normal skin at all edges), then you should be fine.  Lower your risk of developing a new problem somewhere else by avoiding excessive sun exposure, or by using frequent applications of sunscreen if you must be out in the sun.

Question 7

what's weeping skin?

Accepted Answer

Serous fluid: Usually refers to fluid being excreted by the skin that could be serous fluid (lymphatic drainage) that can be assoc with inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema or atopic derm, or lymphedema, or skin infection (ie: cellulitis), or venous stasis.

Question 8

shockwave in my head?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Hard to know what the question is but if new severe headache this is reason to seek medical attention.

Question 9

freshness about skin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: What kind of a question is this? Putting a question mark at the end of a phrase doesn't automatically turn the phrase into a question. If you want an answer, you need to ask a proper question.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
