Our daughter aged 8 weeks has a cavernous haemangioma which is a cluster of blood vessels beneath the surface of the skin which looks like a raised purplish lump (on her head).

Does anyone else have a child with this type of birthmark as we would like to know how big it is likely to get and when it will stop growing and start to recede. Has anyone had treatment? At what age would it be gone on its own?

Thanks.

I have been going to the dermatologist for 2 years, and have had my prescription changed every 2 months, and nothing has worked. If you currently have or have had acne, what has worked best for you?

His Dr. told him that the kind of MRSA he has is a community aquired MRSA(CA-MRSA) not a nosocomial infection. On what would this determination be based? Three other employees also were diagnosed with MRSA.

I was under the impression that sepsis meant the proliferation of bacteria in the blood stream however now I'm confused and am wondering if septicemia is just a larger umbrella term for pathogens in the blood whereas bacteremia is specific to bacteria in the blood.

Can anyone clarify this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This lump started out like a boil. went to the Dr. and he took a staff culture. Not staff, now it looks like a cyst and it hurts like crazy. I am on antibiotic and cream for the nose I am trying to get into a skin Dr. Does skin ca have pain? from the lump and it hurts under my eye as well. I hope this is not skin cancer. I am a stage 2 diabetic that is part of the reason why this thing won't heal

My boyfriend has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer. He's already had it surgically removed, but they were only able to get part of it out because of fear of killing him. He's now on chemo and radiation treatment and we all have high hopes he will make a full recovery. His cancer has been very aggressive and fast and I was just wondering if anyone has any survivor stories that could give him hope as he's been feeling a little down lately. Thank you in advance for replies.

My husband was sent for a stress test to see if his heart is healthy. On Thursday, they did an ekg and several ultrasounds of his heart. They told him to come back on Monday for the actual stress test.

Why do all of these ultrasounds before the stress test? Does the ultrasounds already done show blockage in the arteries? Or will blocked arteries not show up until the stress test is performed?
