ENT referral: You need a full exam by an  Otolaryngologist,  or Ear, Nose &amp; Throat (ENT) doctor. Factors which might contribute to Meniere's disease include poor fluid drainage in your ear, allergies, viral infection, genetic predisposition, abnormal immune response, and trauma. An ENT specalist will run tests to try to confirm the right diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment for you.

Question 3

how do i use retina (tretinoin), tazorac (tazarotene) (tazaratene), or differein (adapalene)?

Accepted Answer

A little all over: These are topical drying agents. The goal is to prevent new lesion to form, so we treat the whole face rather than just spot treat. Apply a pea-sized amount to the full face nightly. If the dryness is not tolerable, you can try short contact of 15 minutes nightly for a couple of weeks and then leave on overnight. We expect a worsening of acne flare at 1-2 weeks, then better after 1-2 months.

Question 4

skin biopsy result: superficial to mid dermal perivascular lymphocytic infilitrate with focal basal vacuolar changes.does thismean allergic vasculitis?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no involvement of the blood vessels themselves- thus not vasculitis by definition. This is a very common skin biopsy finding which has no diagnostic meaning other than ruling out a more serious condition.

Accepted Answer

Varied possibilities: These findings suggest several possible entities.Based on this description of biopsy findings diagnoses including connective tissue disease such as lupus erythematosus may be considered, as well as a drug reaction.  However, the only way to accurately make a diagnosis is to correlate the biopsy findings with the clinical presentation and other symptoms a patient may be having.

Question 7

what is pigment dispersion syndrome (krukenberg's spindle)?

Accepted Answer

Glaucoma risk: Pigmentary dispersion is a syndrome where pigment is liberated from the back to the iris due to chaffing and is released into the aqueous humor.  The pigment gradually obstructs the drainage apparatus of the eye and in about 30% of the time, may cause enough elevation in the eye pressure to cause glaucoma (pigmentary glaucoma).  Its more common in younger myopic males. Treatment is available.
