They will tell you more of the findings rather than the methodology... the methodology relies more on the dermatologist...Originally posted by hisoka:i think pathologist bah since the biopsies are to be taken for histological testing

All the specimens will be sent to them for interpretation...
But on the other hand, they may have a little bit information on these... -

Dear Doc,
my mum has alot of medical problems and she claim it heditary. She is afraid it will pass on to me therefore she always update me her conditions.
1. During her pregancy, she developed ezema problem and was given steriod. she was worried that the steriod has an impact on me as I also don't seems to be healthy.
2. She has sinus problem every morning and I seems to develop this problem too. Is there a permanent cure? Is it related to the food she eat?
3. She has asthma attack whenever we go to cold country during winter.
4. Are all these problem heditary? She is afraid of passing it on to me and has been feeding me all sorts of health food, organic food and sometime chinese sinseh medicine etc.
Please advice.

Steroid in fact helps in the maturity of the lungs during pregnancy, and has become a treatment for people undergoing premature labor before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Such medications are termed IM Dexamethasone or IM Betamethasone... In fact, most of the hormones secreted during pregnancy are steroid related endogenously... I don't really see this as a condition to be passed on...Originally posted by LinYu:Dear Doc,

Eczema and Asthma has a higher chance of being passed on, and that's why we often query anyone else in the family who are suffering from the similar condition.
The triggering factors for asthma includes...
Cold (Food, Drinks, Weather)
Curtains
Carpets
Cats
Cockroaches
Infection
...and more...
As for sinusitis, there are both acute and chronic condition, depending on the duration your mother has been suffering from... The curative method is sinus drainage which is purely surgical and can be performed by an ENT surgeon...
Sinusitis is a condition whereby the drainage system from the sinus (empty air-box which contains cells that produces mucus) gets blocked and the mucus accumulates leading to an increase in facial and nasal tension. There may also be a constant chronic headache which can be at times very troublesome.
Taking drugs are symptomatic relief, which is temporary... -
Btw, LinYu, how did your mother take the steroids? Did she apply it on the skin, or take it orally?

hey reno....been reading about a very interesting famlilial condition lately called synesthesia....heard of it before? more importantly, ever encountered any synesthetes before?

Sometimes taking too much of these may cause a bad impact on your health rather than helping you boost up your immunity...Originally posted by LinYu:4. Are all these problem heditary?

Chemicals interact in the body circulation, especially the chinese medicine, which no one will ever be aware of...
Participate yourself in an active lifestyle, exercise regularly, control your diet suitable to your body, avoid all allergens that you may be allergic to, and of course, take supplements such as vitamin C and B complex if you are away from your mom when no one is taking care of you... -
No I'm sorry... is these a common tropical disease?Originally posted by Othello_Red:hey reno....been reading about a very interesting famlilial condition lately called synesthesia....heard of it before? more importantly, ever encountered any synesthetes before? -

How long has this been happening?
Also, did this happened before or after you started wearing hearing aid?
You may be suffering from otitis media (an inflammation of the middle portion of the ear)... -

Dear Doctor,
I did try to drink plain water in order to "thin" my phlegm, but why is it that sometimes, I feel even more inclined to cough and spit/vomit out my phlegm?
Is it because I have drank too much?
Your patient
-
The cause is unknown..i was born 1 month premature and develop a fever a few days later....the fever might be the cause..

I believe you are suffering from a condition called habitual cough...Originally posted by CoolMyth:Dear Doctor,

The affected area is around the arrow..and its like a hump and painful -
You meant your hearing?Originally posted by ceecookie:The cause is unknown..i was born 1 month premature and develop a fever a few days later....the fever might be the cause..
Ok... do you have any other related problems, such as visual problems, heart problems or any gastrointestinal problems?
Do you know why you were born 1 month premature?
Did your mom's forewater rupture spontaneously on its own during that time (36 weeks) or it has to be artificially ruptured because of your mother's ill-health... -
Wah the problem dun go that far...i think it might be a pimple or something inside...and i cant do anything coz its very painfulOriginally posted by renorenal:You meant your hearing?

I want you to do something for me as I don't have a visual on your current condition... Look into the mirror, and have a good look at the hump, use a pen torch if possible and tell me what you see... is it reddened?Originally posted by ceecookie:

Originally posted by ceecookie:Wah the problem dun go that far...i think it might be a pimple or something inside...and i cant do anything coz its very painful You mentioned your hearing problem... so I figured that since you said it happened from birth, I wanted to rule out the congenital causes of your hearing...
Anyway, pimples develop more commonly of unhygienic in your current problem. Look at your hearing aid, have you cleaned it recently? -
