I have fatty necrosis on my backside. I showed a doctor and he said I need to lose weight.?

Question

For it to go away. But it looks all discolored and it itches, It's like a giant discoloration on my backside and and part of my legs. Before I found out what it was it was itchy and I scratched it and it was scabby and itchy all the time. Is'nt there something I can put on it? A cream or something to make the itchiness or discoloration go away. I have had it for aboout 5 years, just recently it has not itched but now all I have left is a discolored backside. It is certainly not attractive and I am embarrased to get naked. What can I do about this it it is making me insecure. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

It has barely healed.

Answer 1

I would recommend getting another opinion to see what they think but preferably from someone that does not share the same office as the dr you currently go to.

Answer 2

For itch, they commonly prescribe corticosteroids to relieve the itch and inflammation (which can worsen the itch).

For the discoloration, they commonly prescribe or suggest depigmenting agents (like hydroquinone). In layman terms, depigmenting agents is what we call skin bleaching agents, because they lighten dark/discolored skin areas.

You could find the above mentioned in any pharmacies, over the counter without a prescription. However, it would be best for you to consult your doctor, he will be the best person to advise you regarding creams/lotions/drugs usage, based on whether you have any medical contraindications or drug allergies. Self-medication can oftentimes make your condition take a turn for the worse.

Good luck to you.

Answer 3

Hi there! You didin't say if it has healed. May I make a recommendation? You may be interested in reviewing this web page. Please look at information regarding LED Light therapy. There are a couple of web sites that I recommend. There are two that I have used. There is Light4Beauty and another one called Lightstim. LED Light Therapy seems to be beneficial for healing skin and repairing some damage. It doesn't work for everyone.
