First of all,i would like to thank TS to bringing up this thread which would be very usefull.Thumbs up!

Any ortho specialist or doctors here?

I am a T8-T9 burst fractured complete paraplegic for 10yrs.I've suffered alot with pressure ulcer/besores.Recently i went to see a doctor to verify what's wrong with my previous wound on buttock that've been silent awhile but started to produce discharge/puss again.After xray,he said i've got osteomyelitis because of some fractures on ischial bone,i begged for differ because i don't think it's osteomyelitis and the cause of it could be because i am fully wheelchair depended therefore might be i bumped too hard while sitting/transferring myself to bed,car etc.I am really worried to proceed with that doctor because he didn't even did a test on the discharge and simply saying it's osteomyelitis.Now the wound seems opened up more and there quite alot of discharge of puss,sometimes fever on and off/nausea.So here's my xrays,i hope someone could advise me.

Asking on behalf of a friend.

Started with itching, followed by scratching, and formation of these (picture in spoiler below).

As of now, itching is sporadic, not a problem. The red part is raised from normal skin, for approx 0.6 mm. Localised only on upper thigh of one leg.

Could it be dermatographic urticaria? Any precautionary measures?

i have a family member who eats 3 meals per day...oats and wholemeal bread+milk & lunch of rice+meat+vege. no beef, no red meat, no skin fat. drink milks everyday and eat lots of vege.

...and exercise at least 3 times a week, 1 hour each time..doing aerobic and some light strength training.

his health result: high glucose, high cholesterol, high lymphocyte, low calcium.

any idea why?
