light brown spot in a perfect circle on breast itches no rashes just itch but also have dry skin what could this be?

Question

I have some skin discoloration type rash on my stomach and under my breasts. It sometimes is visible, sometimes not. And it itches. ?

Answer 1

Itchy spot: A physician or dermatologist would have to inspect this spot in order to advise you. Have it examined if this lesion persists. Dry skin is a cause of itching. In the meantime I see no harm in applying a tiny amount of corticosteroid ointment on it to relieve the itch. Applying a moisturizer to your skin while it's wet after a shower keeps moisture and oils within the skin.

Answer 2

Yes: It is not unusual to have a rash after a measles vaccine. This is not measles nor contagous.

Answer 3

No: Approximately 5% of children develop a rash a few weeks after the MMR vaccine. This is considered normal and is not an allergic or adverse reaction. In this day and age of people not vaccinating their children, there is a small possibility your child was exposed just before receiving the vaccine. However if the rash indicates measles, your child would appear ill and must be examined.

Answer 4

No: The rash a week or more after the MMR actually represents a confirmation that the vaccine produced a good response. The vaccine measles component is a weakened cousin of the wild measles. It spends a while challenging babies immune system followed sometimes by a rash. This represents new antibodies that have trapped the vaccine virus and carried them to the skin. It will fade and is not a threat.

Answer 5

NO: The rash is a "normal" reaction occurring in maybe 1-2% of the vaccination given. It is not the disease.

Answer 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Atarax (hydroxyzine): Atarax (hydroxyzine) does not cause itching rather, stopping the drug causes the suppressed itch to come out once again.

Answer 10

Atarax (hydroxyzine) lessens itch: More likely the itching was there while taking the atarax, (hydroxyzine) but as an antihistamine it was covering up the itch. When it was stopped the itching became evident.

Answer 11

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 12

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

Answer 13

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 14

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

Answer 15

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.
