CELLULITIS
Has anyone had cellulitis? I have had it for just over a week and have just completed a 7 day course of Flucloxacillin. I did not see a doctor - just had to post a photo of my leg, so haven't had the opportunity of discussing it with him. From the web it sounds quite serious, but don't like taking

Masced Pro Training
‼ Over 25% of GP consultations are dermatology related, yet GPs only receive around 2 weeks training on dermatology AS A WHOLE - so unless a GP has what is referred to as 'a specialist interest in skin cancer', they have little-to-no training on the subject! That’s just one of the reasons why we developed

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

I only occasionally get Afib now following an ablation in 2020, but I had my 2nd shingles jab 3 days ago and it seems to have kicked off my afib again albeit not constantly. I just wondered if anyone else has had the same effect from the 2nd jab (as it is supposedly worse than the 1st) or is it just

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

Shingles vaccine?
I unknowingly (until after) had shingles in March 2023 which I believe, triggered first episode of Afib. Now thinking about having the vaccine, concerned that it will trigger Afib. What are people's experiences of having the vaccine? Do I need it yet. Maybe still have antibodies in my system? Will

Association between different water iodine exposures & thyroid cancer: A retrospective study of high water iodine areas in China 2009-20
There are many differences between China and the UK. Including other aspects of water quality/analysis, diet, etc. For example, distribution of selenium in China is very complicated with adjacent areas sometimes have very different selenium intake.Therefore, we simply cannot pick up this paper and apply
