Granuloma annularae, what is it??
954779
Granuloma annulare is a long-term (chronic) skin disease consisting of a rash with reddish bumps arranged in a circle or ring.\nCauses, incidence, and risk factors    \nGranuloma annulare most often affects children and young adults. It is slightly more common in girls.\nThe condition is usually seen in otherwise healthy people. Occasionally, it may be associated with diabetes or thyroid disease. Its cause is unknown.\nSymptoms  -  Granuloma annulare usually causes no other symptoms, but the rash may be slightly itchy.\nPatients usually notice a ring of small, firm bumps (papules) over the backs of the forearms, hands or feet. Occasionally, multiple rings may be found.\nRarely, granuloma annulare may appear as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs.\n\nSigns and tests -  Your physician may consider the diagnosis of fungal infection when looking at your skin. A skin scraping and KOH test can be used to tell the difference between granuloma annulare and a fungal infection.\n\nA skin biopsy may also be necessary to confirm the diagnosis of granuloma annulare.\n\nTreatment - Because granuloma annulare is usually asymptomatic (causes no symptoms), treatment may not be necessary except for cosmetic reasons.\n\nVery strong topical steroid creams or ointments are sometimes used to speed the disappearance of the lesions. Injections of steroids directly into the rings may also be effective. Some physicians may choose to freeze the lesions with liquid nitrogen.\n\nIn severe cases, ultraviolet light therapy (PUVA) or oral medications may be needed.\n\nExpectations (prognosis)    -   Most lesions of granuloma annulare disappear with no treatment within two years. Sometimes, however, the rings can remain for many years. The appearance of new rings years later is not uncommon.

My sister and I grow these things that sound like what you are describing.  They are polyps.  You should see a doctor to have them checked.  I just noticed that I have one just like that in the same place.  I've got an appointment with her doctor and he will probably do a biopsy to see if it is something dangerous.  But I certain it will just be a polyp. Some women just grow them.  Don't worry, but you should talk to a doctor to be certain.  Good luck!

It sounds like a pterigium or a pingueculum but without a visual, it is impossible to diagnose. See your local Ophthalmologist.

This is a little I know about it......\n\nSarcoidosis is an immune system disorder characterised by non-necrotising granulomas (small inflammatory nodules). Virtually any organ can be affected, however, granulomas most often appear in the lungs (D860) or the lymph nodes (D861). Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but more often than not appear gradually. When viewing X-rays of the lungs, sarcoidosis can have the appearance of tuberculosis or lymphoma.

in simple terms, it is an overly dense deposition of melanin, i.e. a really small, really dark "tan", it may be indicative of something else, but not necessarily, if you're concerned, see a dematologist (for which you may need a referral from your GP)

I wouldn't waste anytime getting to the doctor for a diagnosis and a referral to a skin specialist. I had a skin condition that was misdiagnosed as a form of Shingles for 2yrs. As it turned out we have now found out its a form of Lupus that effects the skin called Discoid Lupus. They don't know what causes this but it is worsened and sometimes kick started in the 40 plus age group by direct sunlight and Heat. There are many things it could be but best to rule out all the nasties as soon as possible. Good Luck.

Sarcoidosis involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in various organs in your body. The lumps are called granulomas (gran"u-lo'mahs) because they look like grains of sugar or sand. They are very small and can be seen only with a microscope. These tiny granulomas can grow and clump together, making many large and small groups of lumps. If many granulomas form in an organ, they can affect how the organ works. This can cause symptoms of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis can occur in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places: \nLungs \nLymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity. \nSarcoidosis also often affects your: \nSkin,Eyes,Liver. \nLess often, sarcoidosis affects your: \nSpleen,Brain,Nerves,Heart,Tear glands,Salivary glands and \nBones and joints. \nSarcoidosis almost always occurs in more than one organ at a time. \nSarcoidosis is not a form of cancer. \nThere is no known way to prevent sarcoidosis. \nSarcoidosis was once thought to be an uncommon condition. It's now known to affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States. Because many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms, it's hard to know how many people have the condition.\nThe goals of treatment are to: \n\nImprove how the organs affected by sarcoidosis work \nRelieve symptoms \nShrink the granulomas. \nTreatment may shrink the granulomas and even cause them to disappear, but this may take many months. If scars have formed, treatment may not help, and you may have ongoing symptoms. \nYour treatment depends on: \nWhat symptoms you have \nHow severe your symptoms are.\nWhether any of your vital organs (e.g., your lungs, eyes, heart, or brain) are affected \nHow the organ is affected. \nSome organs must be treated, regardless of your symptoms. Others may not need to be treated. Usually, if you don't have symptoms, you don't need treatment, and you probably will recover in time. \nThe main treatment for sarcoidosis is prednisone. Prednisone is a corticosteroid, or anti-inflammatory drug. Sometimes it is used with other drugs. Sometimes other corticosteroids are used.

probably an anlarged apple due to infection - anti biotics will sort it but you would need to see your Doc to get these and he/she will do a proper diagnosis

It sounds the the radiologist saw something lightning up near the root of the right lung, where its bronchioles and vessels converge.  It's just a descriptive phrase, so it doesn't give a diagnosis.  Hilar prominence could be nothing, or it could be inflammation, or it could be a sign associated with sarcoidosis, or it could be an infection, or it could be cancerous.  \n\nI really wouldn't get worked up about a phrase in a report.  Talk to the doctor for the whole story.

I can't say for sure, but from what you said it is Paracarditis. It means that the external layer around the heart is inflammed which means there is probably an infection in that layer of the heart. An Inflammation means a swollen area becasue of an infection, an allergic reaction, or disease can be  called an inflammation.\nSee a doctor for this!!!

It's the little red spots on the backs of some people's arms.\n\nMoisturizers and/or cortizone. I've never found a true solution and according to my ex-wife (doctor), there really is none.
