Yesterday April 18, I visited a Dermatologist to find out what was wrong with my thumb on my right hand. For about six years I have had funny sore white spots growing and coming up in my thumb. Coming from deep inside my skin and coming to the surface. Earlier when it came out, it was like thick white puss. Later some of them were hard pieces. I have asked five different doctors what it was, and none of them knew. Dr. Krogh thought it might be gout, took a blood sample, and it came back normal.
Dr. Behrmann, a Dermatologist, said she had seen it before, and thought it might be a build up of calcium under the skin. some people get it, but its very rear. We needed a biopsy to be sure. That was not a easy thing for me.
Her assistant helped me to hold my hand down hard, and to keep it from moving and shaking. Dr. Behrmann had to use a needle to numb it. She stuck me about seven to ten times, I can tell you the needle was sharp.
One time the syringe came off the needle, and the needle stuck in my thumb. She did a good job, but it never quit numbed all the way.
Next she used a cutter that looked like a straw made of mettle. she placed it over the white spot and cut it out. I was surprised to see that this white spot was about twice as long as it was wide, then finishing up with two stitches in the end of my thumb.
We should know in about a week what they find out.
Dr. Nicole Behrmann baby is due in about two weeks.....just a little before Pauli is due.
Update: April 25....Received a phone call from Dr. Behrmann about the results of the biopsy.
They are calcium formations in my thumb. Its very rear, and not really have a cure
to stop them from coming.
