Sunburn very rapidly
3 years after diagnosis with CLL and I got to travel. But day 1, although probably no more than 10 minutes in the French sun and i'm bright red and borderline sunburn. It didnt used to be like this. I knew I had to be more careful now as cll patients are very susceptible to skin cancer but are other

Can Blindness be caused by using Aldara (Imiquimod) with GCA?
My dermatologist is once again pushing Aldara (in the US, it's called Imiquimod) to help control my pre-cancerous skin "spots" (Actinic Keratosis) on my head. I have GCA, and I'm concerned because this med induces your immune system to go into overdrive against the spots, killing them, which leads to

Amelanotic melanoma
Whilst amelanotic melanoma is relatively uncommon fatality rates tend to be higher because they often go undetected for longer, are often misdiagnosed because they mimic other skin lesions and are therefore commonly diagnosed at later stages. Any subtype of melanoma can be amelanotic. They can appear

Sunbeds is a Group 1 carcinogen!
Sadly, way too many lives have been lost to sunbed use. They are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 1 carcinogen - this is its highest cancer risk category. Furthermore, a review by IARC found that first exposure to sunbeds before the age of 35 years increases

UV damage - The invisible killer
If you could see the damage you’ve already done due to UV exposure, would it change your sun protection habits? Would you check your skin monthly for the early warning signs?This image, taken with a special UV camera, show’s UV damage to the skin (on the left) that’s invisible to the naked eye.Ever

Melanoma and pred
I've just been diagnosed with a malignant melanoma. The dermatology nurse said taking steroids for a long time can make this more likely because of the reduced immune response. I'm in shock, and I'm posting this to tell everyone to please keep a careful eye out themselves.his was a funny mole that

Psoriasis In nails
Has anybody experienced psoriasis under/In the nails ? I have it and my toe is so sore at the moment - can’t wear shoes only flat open sandals.I have it In my fingers too - the nails have become loose from the base of the finger. Sometimes by mistake the nail flicks back. I no longer can have long nails

Body and face sores
I’m almost 3 years into my CLL diagnosis with fatigue being my main symptom. But lately I’ve been getting these large sores that look like a small boil that itch, hang around for a few day and dry out my skin then go away? I also have been getting small patches of little tiny blisters that come and

chicken pox and pmr
My granddaughter has just been diagnosed with chicken pox. It’s her first birthday tomorrow and the following day, a party and bbq was planned. This may go ahead in a shortened form as she appears only mildly affected. My question is - am I at risk of catching chicken pox (severely) if I am in the same

Warming up and warming down questions
I started C25K about three years ago and gave up when I had what I think were
shin
splints
- at least, whatever it was, it was very painful and I lost my confidence. However, I think where I went wrong was not warming up properly, not stretching afterwards and trying to go to fast.

I ran a Marathon!!!!
I wasn’t even sure that I’d be able to compete after a pretty severe case of
shin

two weeks ago. However the icing, and foam rollin’ and resting seemed to have worked!

chicken pox
I would appreciate advice on chicken pox I had chicken pox as an adult when my children got it. I have also had a shingles vaccine. My grandson is just recovering and we’re waiting to see if his sister catches it. I’m on 5mg prednisone and we’re wondering if I should still be careful and stay clear

Education is the key!
