skin diseases?


this is a skin related question. what is something that pops up like chicken pox but its not, it has a crusty thin white scab. when you scrap the top off it is red underneath? ointment is not helping.also this just came up after my husband's surgery.
----------

This sounds exactly like what I have! And I do have Psoriasis. The ointment will not help. There is a special cream your doctor will need to prescribe if he truely does have psoriasis but it costs about $150 per tube (depending on strength and size of tube). Psoriasis is nothing to worry about though. I have read somewhere that it means the body's immune system is down and that for some reason it thinks the skin has had a wound and tries to heal the wound that was never even there.

Best wishes!  (+ info)

What is a metabolic disease that shows symptoms on the skin?


I am not sure what exactly you mean by a metabolic disease, but I will try to answer this as best as I can. Insulin resistance and Type II Diabetes can be associated with a condition called acanthosis nigricans. This is a rash usually in the neck region that is described as velvety like. Another example is with metabolic diseases known as the porphyrias. There are different types of these, but they are sometimes associated with a blistering skin rash worsened by sun exposure. The inherited metabolic disorders usually aren't associated with skin changes. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is associated with fair skin and light hair though. Sorry I couldn't help more, but I hope this may help.  (+ info)

Im a microbiologist; like to start my research on skin diseases. Please give me some advise for research plan


I like to work on molecular bio field on skin diseases. I can get samples not a problem; but i have to prepare abstract and give my work plan, primers, probes etc. I dont know how to start, how to plan, etc. please need suggestions.
----------

It sounds like you don't have a specific research goal, just a general field. Since research happens due to grant funding, you have to know the standard format used by the granting agency/group. I'm working with a doctoral candidate for put together a PAH research project to be funded by the EPA. So, the plan will be put in the format they use for environmental evaluations.

Check out the link below and that will give you some idea of funding opportunities and some idea as to format. Rather than trying to generate your own idea, perhaps start first with answering a question posed by one of the grants.

I hope this answers your question.  (+ info)

What is the connection between respiratoy diseases and metabolic rate?!?


Subquestions:
1) How is respiratory disease a consequence of our metabolic rate?
2) What would make you more prone to resp diseases: high or low metabolic rates?
3) What're the common resp diseases that affect metabolic rates?
Questions 2 and 3 are different in a way that in 2 i'm asking the metabolic rate that would make you prone to resp disease and in 3 i'm asking the resp diseases that would change/affect your metabolic rate
----------

I don't know the answers to all the questions but I do have one for 3.
3. Cystic Fibrosis affects the metabolic rate because since the digestive system is not normal, malnutrition can occur. Also with the lungs having to work extra hard (such as exercising or even just living with damaged lungs) more calories are burned without extra activity. People who have CF need 110 to 200% more calories than the average child and adult.  (+ info)

i am doing a project on skin diseases but there are more than 80 and my project needs to be limited to at the most 40 pages. does anyone have a list by any chance on what are the 30 most common diseases. Please cooperate!

I can give you a list of 30 or more. But you can surely be able to write 40 pages using 5-10 different rashes. Most common: acne, seborrhea dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, tinea infections (athletes foot, jock itch, toe/fingernail fungal infections), warts, dyshydrosis, dry skin, and diaper rash.  (+ info)

Why does google images only show the most severe/extreme pics of skin diseases?


I am talking mainly about Rosacea and Lupus (the skin rash symptoms). I don't find this particularly useful or helpful in trying to gain a broader insight into these conditions. It doesn't represent the varying degrees of severity of these conditions for which there are many. Does anyone else agree?
----------

I agree, I think they want you to know the worst case scenerio,,but it doesn't help with what you want..  (+ info)
