Question 1

i'm 33, don't drink, eyes are white, skin is normal, no itching. yet recently my stool has been a pale color. please list all possible causes.

Accepted Answer

Light (clay) colored: Bile & your gut's bacterial flora account in large part for color & volume of stool. Absence of bile results in pale, clay-color stool. Lots of other things also affect stool appearance: ingested foods, medications (peptobismol, antacids), swallowed blood or bleeding from gut, infection/antibiotics, inflammation, maldigestion, & the amount of mucus mixed with stool, as well as transit time of food.

Question 2

ive noticed a 3 weeks ago a bump in anus the size of a pea no bleeding no pain a few days ago white skin formed around my anus and bump still no bleeding or pain or bloody stool just concerning to see it white it gets itchy time to time?

Accepted Answer

: Common to get small bumps around the anus - called " Cysts" - no danger -try not to pick at it or squeeze it when you bathe .
 If gets a little bigger it can be easily removed surgically under local anesthetic

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Can only guess...: A picture may be helpful to us. Eaten anything green lately?

Question 4

i have a weird white skin/tissue like substance coming out of my vaginal opening that hasn't happened before. there isnt a lot but its been 2 days ???

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Vaginal discharge requires an examination to determine the cause and treatment. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause and often has a vaginal odor. Vaginal itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Sometimes vaginal discharge can be a sign of a sexual transmitted infection. Testing is important to determine the treatment and keep you and your partner safe.

Question 5

fed my baby rotten avocado.  worried about mold poisoning.  what should i do?  has been having more frequent smelly well formed or liquid stools.

Accepted Answer

Prob low risk: Mold will not cause food poisoning in an otherwise healthy baby, but spoiled foods do pose a risk for bacterial food poisoning. If the baby appears ill, has blood in stool, a fever, or intractable vomiting, see the pediatrician. Without those symptoms, observation is adequate. Importantly, check food for spoilage before serving- don't give "iffy" foods!

Question 6

how to get a white skin by natural means?

Accepted Answer

Don't do it: Beyond using sunscreen if you dislike tanning, i'd urge you not to try to alter the way your genes have made you look. The only thing like to work is the quinone bleaches, and these will disfigure you. In the usa, it's considered the height of ignorance to prefer a light to a dark skin, and i'm confident the rest of the world will follow our lead here. Keep fit to look great.

Question 7

what would be the best way to get my fair/white skin glowing?

Accepted Answer

Topical lightening: agents and chemical peels or lasers, see dermatologist for answers for your skin type and issues

Question 8

why do i have white skin under my eyes?

Accepted Answer

Congenital?: If this has always been this way--then probably inherited.  There are some skin diseases that can cause whitening of the skin.  See a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis.

Question 9

white skin circles on my scrotum. should i be worried? what are they?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your doctor needs to examine these in person to he/she can see them.

Question 10

i have had a white skin like spot in the corner of my mouth for years and it just wont go away!

Accepted Answer

Doctor evaluation: I can't tell you what it is.  You need to see a doctor or dermatologist for an exam to find out what it is.
