No cancer: What you described is the normal structure of vaginal epithelium. 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 6

will i be able breast feed with hyperkeratosis?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with MD: Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is a rare condition.Its characteristic properties are verrucous thickening and brownish discoloration of the nipples and areola. Usually seen in women in the second and third decade of life. The nipple is seldom affected alone.Lesions may become darker & more verrucous during pregnancy, making breast feeding impossible.

Question 7

i have a patch on my tongue and i had a biopsy done the result was benign squamous mucosa with hyperkeratosis. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Hyperkeratosis: The tongue is covered with squamous epithelium or mucosa, therefore, they said it was benign or normal squamous mucosa with hyperkeratosis. This word means that there is cellular build up on top of this normal area. Hyperkeratosis is like a callous or thickening of the normal mucosa. Overall, nothing to worry about.

Question 8

biopsy:cervical squamous mucosa w/ reactive epithelial changes and hyperkeratosis.endocerv. curetting:benign endocerv. tissue.can you help understand?

Accepted Answer

Doctor Speak: There is nothing scary in those results.  "Benign endocervical tissue" means there is normal, non-cancerous tissue from the endocervix.   "Cervical Squamous mucosa" is simply normal skin from the outer cervix.  "Reactive epithelial changes"  mean that they see evidence of a reaction by the skin to irritation or injury.   Hyperkeratosis is an increased amount of keratin in the skin.

Question 9

stratified epithelium showing mild acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and mild papillomatosis. cell shows moderate anisonucleosis. am i having skin cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The description you provided is seen in many inflammatory skin, benign skin conditions. You should discuss the results with your doctor who has more information about your health.

Question 10

i just had a vaginal biopsy that says "squamous mucosa with hyperkeratosis & focal changes suggestive of but not diagnosic for hpv effect. meaning?

Accepted Answer

Need for HPV on PAP: First the good news is that no tumor was seen on biopsy. However, there is need to do a DNA test to detect HPV infection. You do not need a biopsy for that as the test can be done with a PAP smear. Please follow your doctor's advise for follow up tests.
