Question

How do I get rid of body and chest acne from my oily skin?

Answer 1

Dermatologist: Best to see a dermatologist, an expert in skin related disease. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Yes: Colds tend to precede the onset of an ear infection in children. This is because a cold causes fluid to develop in the middle ear, that at times may get infected by bacteria or viruses. Ways to decrease your baby's risk of ear infections are: 1) avoid smoke exposure, 2) try to limit pacifier use in those prone to ear infections, and 3) avoid having your baby drink milk laying down flat.

Answer 3

Yes: Colds, or upper respiratory infections, can cause congestion leading to ear infections.

Answer 4

Yes: Colds ( upper respiratory infections) are generally the trigger for ear infections in kids. Other factors are in play such as ear anatomy and the immune system, but without the virus or bacteria, infection is hard to come by.

Answer 5

Peristomal wound: When i see a patient who has difficulties with peristomal wound or pain, i generally try to ascertain cause. Usually, if there is no underlying pathology, the skin is irritated by the adhesive. Using a hydrocolloid dressing beneath the adhesive may reduce the difficulties.

Answer 6

Peristomal Skin: Often times if the adhesive of the colostomy appliance is not flush against the colostomy stool will leak out from the colostomy onto the skin causing a severe burning and irritation of the surrounding skin. Always make sure that the colostomy appliance is flush with the colostomy without any exposed skin. Special creams and powders can also be used to help ease the burning.

Answer 7

Thick nasal mucus: Thick nasal mucus can be related to sinusitis, but not necessarily. If you have chronic allergies or recurrent infections you should consult a doctor who can identify if there is an opportunity to improve nasal inflammation with sprays or treat infection with antibiotics. You may benefit from good nasal hygiene as well which involves using salt water rinses to clear mucus and allergens.

Answer 8

Sometimes: A ct scan will show the ovaries in the pelvis. Only significant and sometimes advanced changes of ovarian cancer such as excess fluid in the pelvis may be noticeable.

Answer 9

MAYBE: Although a contrast-enhanced ct--or, better still, a pelvic ultrasound--are preferred methods for visualizing the ovaries, a non-contact ct would likely show nonspecific irregularities of the ovaries. Bottom line: pelvic ultrasound is the best choice for visualizing ovaries.

Answer 10

Not usually: A much better test to detect ovarian cancer would be a transvaginal ultrasound.

Answer 11

Not necessarily...: Seeing ovarian cancer or not from ct without contrast is less desirable and accurate. But if an ovarian cancer is big and calcified, it can be easily suspected as how it may look. But, following the specific ct protocol for a specific suspected tumor so to have better visualization and diagnosis is highly recommended. Detail? Ask radiologist.

Answer 12

Pain: Variable; i put the implant under the muscle which may have more pain than under the breast only. Either way it will not be very painful after 2-3 weeks.

Answer 13

Everyone's different: Each patient experiences pain differently. Most people are off of narcotics by a week or so.

Answer 14

Varies.: Most patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery experience tolerable discomfort for the first week after the procedure. Most patients are also "over the hump” between 2-4 days after the procedure is performed. Pain medication and muscle relaxants are helpful during this recovery. Most patients are able to return to a desk job within one week after the procedure is performed.

Answer 15

Most of our patients: Find the surgery is easier than they expected. 80% of them are off pain pills within 2-3 days.

Answer 16

Augmentation pain: Post augmentation pain with implants is worst for the first 2-3 days but can be managed by use of local anesthetics, muscle relaxants, nsaids and narcotic medication. Most patients are back to work in a few days though upper body exercises are restricted for 3-4 weeks. Some patients may have soreness for a variable period of time.
