I am trying to get ssi disability and medicaid. I have deen diagnosed with vulvar cancer ,I need more test to?


I need more test to see how far and where it has spread to.Cancer alone should be a disability. Right?
----------

You will get a medicaid type coverage. May be temporary, until you can beat this thing. disability checks are complicated and difficult to receive. I would apply for everything. Once you get turned down, get a SS lawyer.
If you find that the meds are to pricey, you can contact the pharmaceutical companies and get a few months free.
Sorry to hear that you are ill. Please keep a positive outlook , and adopt a healthy diet.
Best of health to you.  (+ info)

What can you do for Lichen Simplex Chronicus?


I have Lichen simplex chronicus on my thumb, I've had it for about 4 years now and went to a dermotologist recommended by my family Doctor about 4 years ago, he cut off a small sample and after having it sent for tests determined it was LSC, he perscribed me an ointment but it never helped much. It's seems to be thickening and causing a little bit of pain and I was to know if there's anything I can do on my own or what are the options if I go to a dermotologist? Are there any cures for it, will going back to a dermotologist just be a waste of money, should I just learn to live with it?? Any imput will be very appreciated.
----------

Lichen simplex chronicus (neurodermatitis) is eczema created by repeated scratching; by several mechanisms, chronic scratching itself causes further itching, creating a vicious circle.
Primary treatment is patient education about the effects of scratching and rubbing. Secondary treatment is topical corticosteroids (eg, triamcinolone-Some Trade Names- ARISTOCORT
KENACORT
KENALOG
NASACORT
acetonide, fluocinonide-Some Trade Names
LIDEX
surgical tape impregnated with flurandrenolide (applied in the morning and replaced in the evening) may be preferred because occlusion prevents scratching. Small areas may be locally infiltrated (intralesional injections) with a long-acting corticosteroid such as triamcinolone-Some Trade Names
ARISTOCORT
KENACORT
KENALOG
NASACORT
acetonide 2.5 mg/mL (diluted with saline), 0.3 mL/cm2 of lesion; treatment can be repeated q 3 to 4 wk. Oral H1-blocking antihistamines may be useful.

any cure fof vulvar dermatitis in a golden retriever?


my vet says there is no cure apart from steroid cream which i only use when i have too. i lost a dog years ago through side effects of steroids,so you can understand my concern. can anyone help suzy please?
----------

Sudocrem is fantastic for this type of problem. My dog had furunculosis and she was prescribed a medication which made her ill. Then I tried topical applications of the same stuff which also made her ill. Eventually I used colloidal silver to clean the area and applied Sodocrem nappy cream BINGO. Any nappy/diaper cream which contains zinc will heal.  (+ info)

When a doctor is analyzing a vulvar skin biopsy, would they be able to see if there is nerve damage?


?
----------

I would think a nerve problem would have to be seen by an MRI machine.... you're not going to see anything in a tissue sample in a lab since the nerve is still in your body with the problem.  (+ info)

how can i tell if i have psoriasis, celiac's disease or lichen planar?


I can't get a dermatologist appointment for 6 weeks. The rash is on my lower shin in the front, mildly itchy, started with a single spot and spread. It gets better and worse. It might be diet related, I can't quite tell.
----------

Why not try going on a gluten free diet for a little while to find out? Go gluten free for a few weeks and do the diet properly. I had "psoriasis" all the time until I was diagnosed with celiac disease and went on the diet, I haven't seen it since. Mine also got "better and worse". Give it a shot, good luck.  (+ info)
