Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a healthy 44 y/o white male..very active and fit. I experience gout attacks about twice per year. Currently..about a half hour ago..I have a patch of white on my index finger pad. It looks like paint & will not wash off..(soap, nail polish remover..etc..) I have not come in contact with any white surface.. ????
For gout you may need medicine like zyloric, allopurinol and newer febuxostat you can start then according to blood uric acid level consulting his treating doctor.
Food to be avoided in diet includes –meat and poultry. Alcohol. Processed Carbohydrates Processed carbohydrates and sugars take the place of healthy carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables, in your diet. Although no direct link has been established between sugar intake and gout severity, high sugar intake can contribute to obesity, a risk factor for gout. The fibre in fruits, vegetables and whole grains may also help carry excess uric acid out of your body.
If required you may need crystal deposit excision.
