Medical Questions and Answers on Dermatological and Health Conditions

The document contains a series of medical questions and answers related to various dermatological and health conditions. A 30-year-old woman with cholinergic urticaria experiences a rash after warm baths, which is somewhat relieved by antihistamines; the condition is not allergic and is characterized by small wheals with large erythematous flares. An elderly woman with extensive bullous dermatosis likely has a primary blistering disorder such as bullous pemphigoid, rather than lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, and may benefit from topical corticosteroids, estrogen creams, or antimalarial drugs. A woman with recalcitrant candidiasis of the nails should avoid water, use topical anti-Candida preparations, and possibly treat other potential sites of infection. A 52-year-old woman with malignant hypertension and arthritis experiencing acute alopecia likely has alopecia areata, and treatment options include watchful expectancy or intralesional corticoid therapy. Lastly, low calcium intake is discussed in relation to osteoporosis, suggesting that maintaining adequate dietary calcium levels may help prevent the condition.
