Patient discussion about darker.

Q. very dark blood clots @ first sight of period? At first sight of period, instead of normal rosy spotting it's brownish spotting followed by small clots.

A. Hi Bonbolong.. I just need to ask you a few questions before I feel I can answer you to the best of my ability..Are you now, or have you ever been on birth control pills? How old are you? Have your periods always been like this? When I was young I had so many problems with my periods I wanted a hysterecomy. Of course at 14 years ols, my doctor wouldnt listen..LOL.. I would call your doctor just so he/she can assure you that you are ok..You said your blood was a browish color, I wouldnt worry about that, it is when the blood is black that means something is going on. DOnt worry abou t the clots, that is normal. Like I said, I had many problems when I was young, in fact my GYN had me on birth control at 14 years old. I hope I helped a little, but please get in touch with your doctor, it is amazing how much better you will feel when you find out you are fine

Q. after a pedicure, the soles of my feet are dark w/freckles, skin is itchy/thick, my derm says its eczema,help! the pedicure was in fall, 2002. I mad a mistake and wore nylon boots during a storm, the dye never fully disappeared. I would scrub the soles of my feet until I couldn't walk. However, within the last 4 months both heels are itchy, thick, dark-er and now they both have dark legions/ freckles have formed.

A. Are you sure you are going to a clean sterile saloon? It is very important to make sure they use sterile tools for a pedicure because they can transfer fungal infections very easily. Either way you should see a dermatologist to get the right kind of cream treatment for your feet.
