34 year old female. Have suffered from joint pain in my knees, legs, feet and hip area for a long time. I do have mild arthritis and hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. I came across this xray in my medical chart and was hoping for an opinion on whether or not it looks normal. I compared it to other pictures online and it looked similar to others with hip dysplasia. I appreciate any input!
I had to get an IV placed for a procedure a few days ago. The nurse seemed like he was newer because he was struggling quite a bit with placing the needle.
I get these flare ups where my skin starts to peel away and it feels like the skin is harder in that area too. My pinky always seems to be the worst but now my other fingers are starting to flare up some and are really dry around the cuticles even though I keep them moisturized. I use fragrance free moisturizers by Cerave and La roche posay. Im trying so hard to prevent them from getting as bad as the pinky finger because its so sore and looks gross. The only thing that makes me question DE is that I dont get any bumps or itching, which I thought were main symptoms. I did see a dermatologist a few months ago (who I didnt really care for). She looked at my finger from across the room and said its DE and then prescribed me clobetasol 0.05% which hasnt helped. I have also tried Triamcinalone ointment prescribed by my primary doctor which helped during my last flare but isnt helping much this time. I scheduled with another derm who is highly rated that I saw in the past for other issues and will be seeing her in 2 weeks. Im thinking ill need patch testing to find out whats triggering it since I cant seem to figure it out. All I know is whatever this is sucks and I want my normal healthy skin back. 😢
I live in Northeast ohio and the temps have been fluctuating from 60s in the mornings to 70s and 80s in the afternoon. Next week we have a heat wave coming with temps of 100. Any tips for reviving my dead ones? Is it possible I need to water more? I read that watering early in the morning between 6am-8am is best.
I just noticed this spot on my heel today. It definitely just appeared because I know I didnt see it 2 days ago when taking a shower. It doesnt hurt or itch. Any ideas what it could be?
