⚜️Dyshidrosis is a skin condition that results in the formation of small, fluid-filled blisters on the palms of the hands and the sides of the digits. Occasionally, the soles of the feet are also afflicted. ⚜️The lesions are itchy and typically persist for a few weeks before recurring. ⚜️Prescription steroid skin lotions or ointments are the most common treatment for dyshidrosis. A different treatment, such as light therapy or medication administered orally or intravenously, may be recommended by your physician or other healthcare provider. The appropriate treatment is contingent upon the severity of your symptoms. ⚜️Dyshidrosis is also known as pompholyx and dyshidrotic eczema.

This is something Denmark (& everyone else) could learn from, and a very simple policy to update to bring women's health care forward. Omg yes we're talking about women's health again on LinkedIn, but it's here we can start serious discussions and make positive, impactful change, so read on. A seemingly simple procedure, inserting an IUD, a spiral, that many women describe as worse than childbirth, the most excruciating pain they've felt, and for me personally, this plus feeling like my soul was being scraped, it was personal and awful. (& I had one where it hurt a lot, but I gritted my teeth, and one where I could almost not bear it and was pleading with the doctor to stop). All done without any local anaesthetic. "Discomfort" is how it is described and just like many things within women's health, we downplay it in how we discuss it, in the language used professionally and in policy. This is an easy change to make. Who should we talk to?

The pain associated with IUD insertion has been an extremely distressing experience for many women. IUDs have been used for over 50 years, and we are finally seeing the issue of pain during the procedure being acknowledged. A win for women’s health? Yes. A long overdue one? Also yes. “Doctors have been accused of ignoring the discomfort. For the first time, federal health officials recommended on Tuesday that physicians counsel women about pain management before the procedure. This updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may lead clinicians to take the pain more seriously and to consider using anesthetics more often, experts said.” #womenshealth #birthcontrol #femalehealth #painmanagement #iud Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gDZpf66b

Fortunately, the signs of Chronic venous insufficiency are easily recognizable," explains Dr. Stefan Franciosa, a board-certified and fellowship trained interventional radiologist. Medical vein conditions are covered by most insurances including medicare and medicaid.

Owner and Senior Physiotherapist at Aspire PhysioCare. Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience in the public sector and the private sector.
How are Pharmacists going to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries? Totally out of scope! And what treatment can they offer? Medicine only! Meanwhile, a group of musculoskeletal experts that could be utilised is again ignored - physiotherapists. Up to 40% of GP visits are for musculoskeletal issues - if you want to take pressure of GPs, the obvious place to start is improving access to Physiotherapy services https://lnkd.in/ge-MCvh6
We want to empower pharmacists to treat a broader range of conditions so that we can relieve pressure on our hardworking GPs and curb lengthy appointment wait times. So, work is underway to expand the number of conditions eligible for treatment at the local pharmacy. In the next few years, this could include middle and outer ear infections, mild to moderate acne, minor wound management, acute nausea and vomiting, GORD, and mild musculoskeletal pain. Delivering more timely access to everyday healthcare makes for a better NSW for everyone.
