cholesterol spots - help please

[Guest guest]

has anyone seen cholesterol spots on a patient before? a potential patient who

has high cholesterol breaks out in hard fatty spots every may, and they get

better over the winter, although leave red scarring. the spots do not ooze, but

are just like hard raised lumps on elbows, knees and the whole trunk, front and

back.

the gp said they are the result of cholesterol, but couldn't explain the

seasonal nature of it. i've only had an informal chat with this person, so don't

have amny more details, other than the fact that she's had an operation to

remove cysts on her liver and now has a drainage tube fitted between liver and

bowel (no other details at present). the Sx started after this.

any ideas for Dx and Tx?

thanks

jason

mega horary, plain as a barn door

 

may - summer phase I - wax

august - summer phase II - recede

sept to nov - fall no phases - have waned

dec to feb - winter no phases - are no more other than red scars

 

red scars - Fire in Water

 

even by mega horary 5 E pattern ought to be visible

 

to treat this condition, do that in ... ?
