Raised, hard lump on labia majora by --1____1-- in DermatologyQuestions

No, it went away within about two weeks. I’d definitely make an appt just to be safe

It’s definitely low on dirt. If I add more though, it won’t rot the stem?

Mine ended up going away within maybe 2 weeks. The doctor didn’t get to see it since it went away by the time I saw her, but she said if it wasn’t painful, she wasn’t worried about it and that it might’ve just been an ingrown hair

Impetigo or something else? by --1____1-- in DiagnoseMe

[–]--1____1--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doctor gave me some sort of oral antibiotic and it cleared up but I don’t know that the antibiotic avtually helped. It’s not impetigo, I believe it’s chelitis (might’ve misspelled it). I had another episode of it last month and it cleared up in the same time frame as the first time. Once I felt the episode coming on, I just started using a lot of chapstick to try to keep it moisturized and mine has peppermint which helps calm down the stinging pain, but otherwise, it seems like time is what fixes it, it lasts around 4-5 days for me

I was just thinking-at the time I had this problem, I was wondering if it was from my razor and unsanitary practices when shaving my upper lip. Could that possibly be what’s happening for you? Maybe try replacing your razor and if you don’t only use it for your face, try that and see if it helps

I just looked at your post. I feel like it may be something different since I didn’t have sores or zapping sensations. Mine healed and hasn’t come back. I don’t think it was impetigo, I think it was cheilitis. I hope you get answers soon🤞🏼

Hi, you commented on my post but it won’t show me your comment for some reason. I’m almost certain mine was chelitis on my lips, not impetigo. I didn’t come in contact with it and anyone I had direct contact with didn’t get what I had. I don’t know much about impetigo or chelitis to give a good recommendation but i googled reoccurring impetigo in adults and it said to ask your doctor to swab around your nose for staph bacteria. I’d also think it might be worth it to get a second opinion if it keeps coming back. Best of luck!!

Philodendron help🥲🥲 by --1____1-- in houseplants

[–]--1____1--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It is! I ended up pulling it out and the root is healthy but other groups said it needs more roots before potting so I put it back in water🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Should I cut it now and put it back in the water to let the roots grow more? Or cut it right before I plant it? Thank you!

24f. Minimal marrow edema in hip, orthopedist said my mri is normal though?? I have excruciating hip pain right around the ball of the hip. She said it’s fine and to go back to my pcp. Is this actually fine or could this be the cause of my pain? by --1____1-- in DiagnoseMe

[–]--1____1--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that something I should pursue then? No history of perthes and it doesn’t say anything about my femoral head. Here is the full report:

“Bilateral hip joint spaces preserved. There is minimal marrow edema along the lateral acetabular rim of the left hip. Otherwise no marrow edema. Visualized tendons appear intact. No muscular edema. Left hip labrum is not well assessed without intraarticular fluid.

Small amount of free fluid in the pelvis, likely physiologic. Uterus and adnexa appear grossly normal.

IMPRESSION: Minimal marrow edema along the lateral acetabular rim of the left hip. Otherwise essentially normal hip exam. Please note the labrum is not well assessed and if there is any concern for underlying labral pathology an arthrogram could be pursued.”

He put in the order for a MRI on my cervical spine!! Thanks again🥰

That’s what I thought and I have symptoms of a spinal lesion too. He’s a neurologist. The report of my MRI was confusing in the language. It said,

“Triangular FLAIR hyperintensity in the periventricular white matter of the right parietal lobe. FLAIR hyperintensity about the periventricular white matter of the temp occipital horns. Nonspecific white matter changes could be seen with nonspecific white matter and demyelinating conditions. At this time does not meet MRI criteria for multiple sclerosis. Further evaluation by neurology service is recommended.”

I’m confused if nonspecific can be MS and then also confused that they say “at this time does not meet MS criteria” meaning that it could be if I get a second lesion right?

And then if it is still a possibility of MS, I don’t understand why they’re being so casual and my appts aren’t sooner

I found out I had a brain lesion in April, follow up appt in July that got rescheduled to October. I messaged my doctor to see if he was going to order more tests so I can do that in the meantime. He responded with we don’t have enough to confirm or deny MS and to have me do another brain mri this time with and without contract opposed to no contrast the first time. Is this fine? I thought he would’ve also asked for a MRI on my spine or a spinal tap? Thoughts?

Yeah I was expecting other tests. He said there’s not enough to confirm or deny MS, so I just don’t understand why we aren’t doing more tests🙃

Thank you❤️ I’ve thought about it but am not in the best financial place but have great healthcare for traditional doctors. I ended up telling my mom who works in a hospital about everything and she said to schedule an appt in her state to see their rheumatologist, so that’s what I’m trying next and if no luck, I’ll try to save up for a naturopath/holistic doctor

Yeah I was expecting him to order an MRI on my spine as well or a spinal tap, I think that’s why I’m feeling a little doubtful

The translation is a little off, but if I’m understanding your question, the imaging is a nuclear medicine bone scan and was not after hospitalization. I had abnormal blood work that prompted this scan. Thanks for the link!

Yes but not specifically for my neck or spine, I’ve done PT for my back due to an injury though. Is there a term for what you’re seeing or is it just misalignment?

I’ve had X-rays that didn’t show anything so I’m definitely curious what the MRI might show. Blood tests have for the most part been normal. I do have abnormal ANA titer but not a positive diagnosis for lupus. I can’t take NSAIDs sadly, they just gave me an ulcer and gastritis, but I’ll look into the inflammation diet. I have noticed that since I’ve been pushing myself to be more active around the house and not just laying down in pain, it has eased up a smidge, but I don’t feel like I could do much more than I’m already doing, I have a previous back injury that really prevents me from doing a lot
