Question 1

what could erythema be during a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Colon erythyema: Colon "erythema" just means the colonic lining looked redder-colored than was expected.  This can be due to infection, inflammation, ischemia, but it can also be due to mechanical abrasion from the colonoscope, the chemical used to prep your colon, or even staining from having eaten red-colored foods before your test. Your doctor may have taken a biopsy to elucidate cause--give him a call please.

Question 2

what could erythema be when found during a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: Erythema is very nonspecific.  If there is erythema in isolation, it may not mean anything. But erythema along with ulcer, or friability (fragile tissue), or other findings can be associated with colitis.

Question 3

i'vee read that a recently developed erythema ab igni is reversible when stoppng exposure to the source of heat.. is ths true?!

Accepted Answer

Yes, if early: Hello, this does depend on how early you catch it. If you notice the changes in skin very soon after using heat, your skin can recover after a period of time. However, if you have caused too much damage to the deeper layers of skin, you may always have this discoloration. The risk of developing skin cancer will also decrease over time with discontinued use if caught early. I hope this helps!
