nasanews Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 A wart is not something worrying, i see it in many of my old relatives and senior citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 No, it's time to see a dermatologist. According to Wikipedia, Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. That probably isn't anything contagious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 To the extent one can tell from a photo, it does not look like a wart. You should see a dermatologist especially if it is new or changing in size or appearance. removal and biopsy may be indicated. If you are in Bangkok-Pattaya are I suggest you see Dr Anna at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbin Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It is my belief you have a Quote Seborrheic keratoses are bumpy, waxy-appearing skin growths that are typically brownish in color but may range from tan to blackish. These benign growths often have a wart-like appearance. Seborrheic keratoses most commonly appear in middle age or later. The growths occur mostly on the back, neck, chest, face, or scalp. Seborrheic keratoses tend to run in families. The condition is not dangerous, but the growths may be become irritated when rubbing up against clothing. Others may progress to resemble skin cancer. In these cases, or when the appearance of the seborrheic keratosis bothers a patient, removal of the growth may be warranted. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perthperson Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The photo is poor quality but it is suggestive of a haemangioma. See a dermatologist for a definitive opinion/diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbin Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Any chance of an update? It's only fair to keep us informed. 'Thai Visa CSI' needs to close its book. Edited July 4, 2017 by sinbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't gone to the doc yet - been waiting for my pensioner's card from the govt to arrive so that I don't have to pay full price (obviously I'm not in Thailand atm). Full coverage of the diagnosis and treatment with expert commentary from a select team of experts will be forthcoming. Put the kids to bed and stay tuned - threads don't get anymore exciting than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yeah, we're on the edge of our seats. Hubby has some bad looking places on his back and I'm trying to corral him into seeing Dr. Siri here in Chiang Mai. I've taken photos, but sadly, they're the same quality as yours and not scaring the bejesus out of Hubby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him removal, if necessary, is reasonably painless - a freezer spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolsti Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I had something like that on my back. Couldn't see it of course as I am not a Chinese contortionist but it felt huge and itched a lot. I went to Pattaya City Hospital and saw a Dr.... he said that it was probably a wart but he would excise it a week later and have a biopsy done. All done... not cancerous and all healed well.

Should I try again? There are only 101 uses for a dead cat, and this isn't one of them. Sorry. Perhaps if you were to put a sack over you, pick up a live cat, and then jump into a river, you might find that the cat will scratch off all of your warts and moles. Good luck with your other protruberances, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
