Question 1

can low c3c be caused by severe vulval spongiosis?

Accepted Answer

Have not heard that: A common inflammatory disorder of the vulva is eczematous dermatitis, which
means the presence of
intercellular edema (called “spongiosis”) in the top layer of skin, 
with some inflammation (itching, redness, irritation). Spongiosis means that extra fluid can be seen around the skin cells, under a microscope. An allergist, immunologist, or rheumatologist can help figure out why C3 is low.

Question 2

i have via biiosy vulval spongiosis and nothing seems to help it.  dr says my severe anxiety can bring it out.  is that correct and any suggestions how to get it to subside

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately: Most inflammatory conditions are worsened by anxiety.  Stress hormones, vascular constriction, etc often affect inflammation and trigger worse symptoms.  I would suggest meditation, relaxation training, yoga, breathing exercises or any exercises that help keep your stress and anxiety levels lower.  Medication can help, but try to use it sparingly and rely on the techniques to relax.

Question 3

hi doctors, can you tell me what is perivascular and interstitial dermatitis with eosinophils and slight spongiosis?

Accepted Answer

Since that is a : pathology diagnosis, you need to take your results to a dermatologist. Comparing the pathology with the clinical findings will get you a correct diagnosis

Question 4

skin biopsy showed: parakeratosis psoriasiform hyperplasia spongiosis neutrophils in stratum corneum loss of granular layer sub adjacent mild superficial perivascular lymphocytic formation doc is confused as he said this could be a number of things?

Accepted Answer

: Sorry to frustrate you but we could not help either. If a dermatologist has seen your skin lesions along with history and he could not make a definite diagnosis so neither could we. If the pathological findings are typical, usually pathologist can offer his opinion when reading the biopsy. Please continue to follow your dermatologist.

Question 5

skin biopsy showed: parakeratosis psoriasiform hyperplasia spongiosis neutrophils in stratum corneum loss of granular layer sub adjacent mild superficial perivascular lymphocytic formation. what does this imply, doc as confused as results seem mixed?

Accepted Answer

: I'm also confused. I think your physician should sit down with the pathologist who gave that interpretation &amp; ask for more of a clinical diagnosis and whether any other testing or consultation with certain dermatologists would be the next step.
