Question 1

my eyes are losing color....i have crescent shaped grayish/white spots on the tops of both eyes (my eyes are brown). ?

Accepted Answer

Corneal arcus: In many, over the years, lipid seeps out of the blood and collects at the edge of the cornea as an arc.  This is totally benign and is a surface change.  The iris, which provides the basic  color to the eye, is inside the eye and is not affected by this although it is underneath.

Question 2

in my third trimester just started my seventh month three weeks ago and now i'm leaking a grayish white mucous and i'm wondering what it means?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: An increased discharge in the third trimester may be normal but it can also be a sign of an infection or ruptured membranes.   Its best to have it checked out by your OB.

As your pregnancy progresses and the uterus enlarges, blood flow to the mucus membranes of the vagina and cervix increase causing more discharge.

Question 3

punch biopsy hole has thick grayish white stringy stuff attatched inside. no pain, redness or swelling around it. is this an ok healing process?

Accepted Answer

Likely: What you described sounds like an exudate with pus, however, since there is no redness or swelling, it is likely a response to the trauma of the biopsy and should heal on its own.

Question 4

my 2.5 year old daughter just had multi-color poop, some usual brown and solid, but some was grayish/white.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Be seen: It is likely something she ate, though gall bladder problems will give a grey/clay colored stools.  Have her physician see her.

Question 5

can oral thrush ( thin light grayish white film top of tongue) not effect the checks or back of mouth only tongue ? or possiblitys?

Accepted Answer

: The thin gray film may be food/liquid debris and not thrush at all. It is not at a level I would consider any treatment needed. Discuss this with your doc or dentist. You may just need to brush your tongue occasionally if it bothers you.

Question 6

have had crusty bits deep in head under foreskin of penis for about 5 mo. was grayish-white when first noticed in april, but is now white. painless, virgin, & 20y/o. going to try & see doc asap. saw it was a skin cancer symptom online & im worried.

Accepted Answer

More likely benign: The foreskin can trap a simple skin secretion called smegma. This is a normal material similar to the earwax that can accumulate there. It is less a problem if/when a male retracts the foreskin completely to wash it off on a regular basis. It is fine that you have this checked out, but I wouldn't stress so much before you do.

Question 7

hello doctor.
could you please let me know what does endometrium received multiple gray brown fragments in aggregate measure 1cm 
excatly what it mean?

Accepted Answer

Pathology report: This sounds like a pathology report, possibly from a D&amp;C?  Or maybe you had a polypectomy? A pathologist generally will describe the color and amount of the tissue that was removed. This is not a diagnosis--this is just a visual description. What's more important is the actual histology (description of the cells).  Endometrium can be follicular vs. luteal phase. Benign vs. malignant.  Hyperplasia?

Question 8

why did obama go gray so fast?

Accepted Answer

Hard job: To the extent that grey hair start is due to stress and the difficulty of a job, obama has the toughest job on the planet.  This may have contributed to his seemingly premature or rapid onset greyness.

Question 9

why are my porcelain crowns light blueish/gray?

Accepted Answer

Likely PFMs: How old are they?  Is the color mostly at the gums?  Pfm's are porcelain fused to metal crowns so there is a layer of metal under the pocelain that can transmit light through the porcelain where it is thin.  If this is the case then you could have them replaced with metal free crowns for esthetics.

Question 10

i have a dark patch of gray on my back its been there for months and most days it inches what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on.  Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.
