Was doing some excercise the other day, when I came across something on the upper outer quadrant of the right pectorals.
WTF are those stuff?? Signs of malaria? Or is it denggue? Skin tumor? Purpura? Petechiae?
Later on during supper with Lex, I told him about the findings. I thought it was some sort of a minor bleeding on the small vessels under the skin, perhaps overstrained, since it's been eons since I did push ups. And he thought it might have been so too, since there are some more around the medial parts of the proximal arm, where there used to be stretch marks. Okay, near the armpit if you really want to know.WTF are those stuff?? Signs of malaria? Or is it denggue? Skin tumor? Purpura? Petechiae?
And yeap, I have stretch marks, I was pregnant before. *sniggering* Oh, and don't ask why the pits are black in the pic, I'm hairy. At the designated part that is. *LMAO* Nope, I'm not going to show my nipples over the net, and yes, I don't have those super developed pecs to which girls and gays alike drool over.
Curbside MD said petechiae is Purplish or brownish red discoloration, easily visible through the epidermis, caused by hemorrhage into the tissues.
Wiki said... ugh.
Never mind. It is petechiae. I said so, and I shall be fine. *sniggering* It's not like it's spreading all over the body or anything, right? Yeaps, I am stubborn... I know.
Close up view of the petechiae, looks like those parasites under the microscope to me.
Brugia malayi. Or Wuchereria bancrofti.

On a side note, the diarrhoea is back. OMFGWTF! Like helloooooo? It's not enough with the 8 times splish-splashing last Thursday, what's more with that recurrence on Saturday I'm wondering if it really was the coffee. And I woke up this morning sitting on the throne for 10 minutes urinating through the anus. For a while I thought I'd die of dehydration. What the blardy is wrong with me!!!??? No, I don't want to go to the clinic! Private ones are expensive, and the student clinic sucks, going to the hospital would mean wasting the whole day queueing, and the A&E is plain absurd...
5 Jujus:
Eekkz!
Must remind ourselves that we're looking at the axilla! Ish. And please, regardless of how notorious those of us in the medical field are for low compliance and self-practice, go get something for your diarrhoea already!
No doctor? Then you'll just have to befriended with the throne for a while. :)
Alternative medicine advice: Get some acidophilus supplements. Drinking Vitagen is not fabulous enough ya. Get pharmacy grade pills. Support your digestive system which has been punished enough!
will: eekz u alright.
javier: the diarrhoea comes and go, how can i do anything about it? 2 sessions, and stop. and you thought it's gone. then it's back again.
jason: i'm friend with the throne alright. :P
ryan: i dun drink vitagen as well. kekekke
