Question 1

does peripheral vascular disease or mixed connective disease cause skin discolaration on any area of the body? why?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Two very different problems. Arterial insufficiency (pad) can cause the skin to be pale, loss of hair below the mid-shin, and cool feet. Blue or black discoloration indicates threatened tissue and can result in amputation if left untreated. Any dark discoloration or non-healing wound(s) should be evaluated by a vascular specialist as soon as possible.

Question 2

how do you get rid of red, blotchy patch of skin under your nose?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It can be dermatitis which will respond a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone. If improvement is not significant a stronger strength may be necessary. See a dermatologist for proper evaluation if the 1 % does not work.

Question 3

i know i have p.a.d. but was also told that i have vascular disease as well, what does this mean and could that be why my feet turn red even laying. ?

Accepted Answer

Red by resting.: Peripheral vascular disease or PAD is a form of vascular disease. When the arms or legs are involved, it is termed peripheral. The nature of the condition is that tissues are being deprived of oxygen rich blood because of the narrowing of the blood vessels to the tissues. Elevating the legs causes an over supply of blood to the starved tissue resulting in the now oxygen rich tissue to turn red.

Question 4

light/red patches are developing around the sides of my nose due to continuous peeling in this area. i stopped using the most recent skincare products to see if it would get better. my skin looks like it has been burnt?

Accepted Answer

Inadequate informati: You did not give enough information like what skin care products you were using and if you have problems with your scalp like dandruff. Face cleansing with good facial cleanser without much rubbing; and using like topical sulfur for acne may be helpful but at least not harmful.

Question 5

started with fever blister on lip and after that red patches on skin after shaving. now verydry and irritated on forehead and upper lip as well as along nose.

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Sounds like dermatitis. Try an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine or loratidine. Use a gentle moisturiser and avoid hot water when washing your face. If symptoms persist or worsen, see your Dr.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Tinea capitis: If your brother is being treated properly  with oral &amp; local antifungal medications, he should  not be  contagious  after 48 hrs of starting the treatment,  don't share towels &amp; sheets,  his should  be washed in hot water, dried  in dryer,  &amp; if possible ironed.  I hope that answer your questions.  Good luck.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

As with most rashes.: ...This could be a variety of things.  This could be a virus, or this could be a bacterial infection that would respond to an antibiotic. This could even be tiny insects in the skin.  It cannot be diagnosed online.  You must see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.  If your child is in pain, see a doctor as soon as possible.
