How to treat hypopigmented mycosis fungoides?
Hi doctor,
A 9-year-old girl's biopsy report reads like this. I would like to know the cause and treatment. Biopsy shows sparse superficial perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes. The epidermis shows slight psoriasiform hyperplasia and infiltration by numerous small and large lymphocytes without much spongiosis. Several lymphocytes are aligned along the basal layer in a toy soldier pattern. There is no granuloma, nor is there any infiltrate around arrector pilorum muscles or nerves. Impression- Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (patch stage).

Is it normal to get rashes in the body after hip replacement surgery?
Hello doctor,
I had a total hip replacement a few days back. Yesterday, I started developing a rash on my torso, back, buttocks, and legs. The palms of my hands and soles of my feet are red and painful. I had an epidural and sedation for my hip surgery. I had two rounds of IV antibiotics after surgery. I do not know what kind.
For pain, I have been given Oxycodone, Tylenol, and Toradol for inflammation. I have also been given Colace, Pepcid, Ranitidine, Aspirin, and Celebrex. The doctors here at the hospital are stumped as to what is going on with this rash. It is not terribly itchy, mainly when I get a bit overheated. I have had this happen to me before, 15 years ago, after undergoing a D and C. It did resolve in about four weeks, but the skin on my palms and soles blistered and peeled before it all went away. If you have any idea what this could be and what I could do to lessen the effects, I would greatly appreciate it.

What causes bluish-red rash on the side of the neck?
Hi doctor,
This is regarding my friend's infection condition. He went to sleepover at a friend's place and the next day had a bluish-red rash on right side of the neck. It was very painful. He consulted a doctor who injected him for fungal infection. But the next day the rash was bigger and prominent than before. The pain was also more severe and movements were difficult. I am attaching a picture each of these two days. Kindly advise.
