Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
the results of my skin biopsy (one on the arm the other the thigh) resulted in a diagnosis of poikileoderma atrophicans vasculare. I was told it is a rare condition to be watched, that it was not a form of melanoma or skin cancer but that it has the potential to result in cancer. She also said it was like a pre pre cancerous condition. In searching the web I see references to t-cell lymphoma and immune system disorders etc. I just need a better explanation of what to expect and what I should be doing. I am scheduled to start phototherapy on thursday and am concerned as my ophthalmologist just informed me that I have a small retinal hemorrage that should resolve itself in a couple months. That s my other question, I m taking eye drops prescribed by him and wanted to know what else I should do.....I also have peripheral neuropathy 15 years before being tagged pre diabetic. It s very painful but lyrics takes the edge off. My last A1C was 6.1.
Poikiloderma vasculare atrophicans (PVA), sometimes referred to as parapsoriasis variegata or parapsoriasis lichenoides is a cutaneous condition (skin disease) characterized by hypo- or hyperpigmentation (diminished or heightened skin pigmentation, respectively), telangiectasia and skin atrophy.
