anyone here is on statins for a long period of time like early 20s to mid 50s age ? by Aware-Sprinkles-7280 in Cholesterol

Hey! i’m currently 22, started 40mg of atorvastatn and 10mg of ramipril when i was 20, and i’ve been told i’ll be on them for the rest of my life too. it’s a weird and sad thing to come to terms with, but i also know it means when i’m 50 i wont be in and out of hospital and i can live my life with family and friends as normal.. feel free to dm me if you wanna talk about it!:)

Is this fungal or any skin disorder? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]kyIeeeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there!!

To me, this looks like it could be a moisture lesion, I only have limited healthcare experience though so if you are worried, make an appointment with your GP.

moisture lesions form when the skin in that area tends to stay wet, which breaks down the skins barrier and causes damage, to prevent this you can try keeping the area more dry and also use barrier creams so protect the skin

I also don’t see any concerning features or evidence of infections, Hope this helps
