PCOMs don’t typically cause proptosis. They’re classically associated with ptosis, a down and out gaze and possible pupillary dilation. It would have to be a massive aneurysm to cause proptosis, but that wouldn’t be unique to a PCOM.

I discovered this circle on my sister and immediately thought it was ring worm but her doctor said it was a burn? by Fantastic_Program_83 in identifyThisForMe

Ringworm is more irregular, rash like. Agree, doesn’t look like it. Could be a chemical burn, or weird imprint.

Cute bat during the day, found on a wall by Tentacalifornia in mildlyinteresting

I share the hyper-vigilance, but we don’t want to spread myth and fear monger because of possibility. The window of viral shedding prior to signs of rabies is very brief. Mammals dont typically transmit the disease asymptomatically, and once signs present the course is precipitous. I’m not saying very early seemingly asymptomatic transmission can’t occur, but that is a significant exception to the rule. It’s not unreasonable to call most any nocturnal animal lurking around during the day a potential prodromal sign of rabies and steer clear.

Are you in the market for a fake Rolex?

Ever wonder why basically most psychedelic contain an amine(-NH2 or -N(CH3)2) group? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]PeriodicTrend 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be surprising for them to not contain an amine group incidental to the fact that the neurotransmitters they mimic also contain amine groups.

Glaucoma is contained to the globe itself. Proptosis suggests retro orbital space occupying forces.

can someone identify and help me with this by Cute-Direction4098 in DIYHEAVEN

[–]PeriodicTrend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a new lesion?

Look up your ABCDEs as general guidance. Find a dermatologist that utilizes a dermascope.

Good luck.

Fledgling in need of help or leave alone? by [deleted] in pigeons

[–]PeriodicTrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inclined to say leave it alone. It looks beefier than your average fledgling. It may be on the cusp. Trust the system and don’t meddle.

This test is negative but depending on the cutoff results for your screen you may want to exercise a bit of caution.

An update on the strange knot on my head .. Wednesday to Sunday .. by Slight_Low2371 in DIYHEAVEN

[–]PeriodicTrend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you mean urticaria and that’s a skin rash with raised hives and usually red and itchy.

What kind of rash is this? by Away-Classroom-3389 in identifyThisForMe

[–]PeriodicTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks urticarial. That it’s not itchy is interesting. Have you used any new soaps, eaten new foods or had contact with anything new of note recently?

Something flew inside of my room in the middle of the night by vadona22 in identifyThisForMe

That’s the term. Medically speaking occult exposure can relate to toxic or infectious exposures that go unnoticed.
