Lets play a game, you guess what horrible disease I have then you win!

My ear hurts, the right one. About four weeks ago the skin on my ear got really dry, I put lotion on it but it still got worse.

I never go to the doctor, cause that is for pussies.

During the first week, the skin on my ear got dryer and dryer. Once after a shower I got out and as my ear was so itchy I rubbed it down for quite awhile. I rubbed off some skin and my ear seemed to feel better, it was just red and seemed to be ok.

The next day my ear started to dry up again, then it got worse very quickly. First, large layers of skin started to flake off, then about 2 weeks ago a tiny part of the cartilage ( i think) of my ear broke off. After that I had a little dent in the outter ring of my ear. I kept picking at it and broke more pieces off my ear.

During the last week the outter layers of my ear has completely ripped off and burns like hell. Wierdly not much blood comes out when I rip off a large sections of my ear. Basically now i dont have a ear, just puss and junks of ear...

I am a little worried now as the dryness has spread to many other parts of my body including my eyelids, lips, groan, armpits and nipple areas.

What is my disease?

Leprosy? You never know...

Idiocity? (not a flame, just a comment on the lack of no doctor)

Because...I mean, instead of asking a doctor, you ask strangers over the internet?!?!?!!? :D

Of course. Everything posted on the Internet is 100% true! ;)

sounds lik a bad case of exma but you must have had it before.
Seems a bit servere to be an infection that has spread through touch.
Nope yougot me buti would go to a doctor

Hopefully it doesn't spread to any strategic locations ;)

What is my disease?

*raises hand* Ooh! Ooh! Is it eczema?

You're gay. Seek more Jesus.

Some super hardcore masochism?

:D

Athlete's foo-, er, ear?

Its not exema either

My God Jay....I hope this is hypothetical and not really happening to you.

Staph Infection

congratulations! You've got ebola!

No, not really. Actually, your body decided its tired of supporting your soul and has started the slow process of death, all the decay included.

no its not that and its not flesh eating disease.

Could be dont think so though, I think ebola attacks your lungs

Spider bite

Could be dont think so though, I think ebola attacks your lungs
ebola makes you bleed black out of your ears and eyes. Along with horrible boils and pain, followed by something like a 94% mortality rate.

Horrible sun-burn

I don't know - but it sounds disgusting.

After further analysis, I'm afraid that you're turning into a zombie.

Ok I will tell you i was exposed to the toxin dioxin TCCD found in agent orange. I recently went swimming in the stuff while on vacation in nam.

vacation in nam.
Was it a vacation in 'Nam, or a Holiday in Cambodia?

if nobody catches that bad pun, I will be angry. I think.


If you're serious about the dioxin thing, then damn. That must suck a lot.
:(

I think they mean TCDD, if they mean 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

It seems like you have a severe case of Stupidity for not seeing a doctor after pieces of your body started falling off. Do you think if you had gotten whatever you have on your penis you would have gone to see a physician?

Hmm seriously what person would not see the doctor after getting something like this?

I just like CSI is all...

Are you a chemist?

Gotta be syphilis.

Excuse my cursing, but I feel like speaking Ghetto...

That's the same type of shit the fucked up that Ukrainian guy's face.

Dioxin is very evil apparently.

It is obviously gonnoreah in the eye.

If this is caused by agent orange, why aren't we seeing the same thing in thousands of our vets? AO had some nasty effects, but this isn't one that's popped up here. Vets say that the rain was silver with the stuff.

I believe you have Cowbell Fever.

Are you a chemist?

Nope, but a med student. (Oh, and I wouldn't call poisoning a disease, but I suppose the chloracne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloracne) seen after exposure to dioxins can be seen as that...)

Here is a list of symptoms and suspected symptoms of AO:

I forgot to state that I was drinking and eating stuff flush with dioxin :rolleyes:

Flesh Eating Bacteria... That's gotta suck. My advice is to chop off whatever's being eaten away now... And hope to salvage the rest. If not, rest in flaky pieces.

It's only dangerous in huge quantities or over when you're exposed for a very long time...I was living in Belgium when they found the stuff had somehow gotten into most Belgian food products (it went from fertilizer to vegetables, from there into animals...etc etc etc...). So I, and probably most belgians, have been in contact with it without any harm. Though, it was quite scary to go to the supermarkets after they discovered it and see all the shelves empty.

Well, our troops were directly exposed to AO and their food and drink was contaminated, too. The symptoms you describe are not any of those noted.

WTF? pringle chips can cure this malady?

Recent research by groups at University of Cincinnati School of Medicine in Ohio and the University of Western Australia indicated that PCB poisoning, including chloracne symptoms, can be treated with fat substitute olestra in the form of fat-free Pringles [1] (http://www.betterhumans.com/News/news.aspx?articleID=2004-12-17-6).

Did they grow up in that environment?

Google dioxin poisoning. The symptoms you describe are not attributable to dioxin/AO.

Jay..you are gross. Send me your pic.

Aha!

If you think that doctors are for pussies, you are an idiot and deserve to die of this strange ear gnawing ailment.

Aww, shucks, that was nothing. What made me catch it was the fact that there is only one C in the name, and therefore there should only be one C in the acronym.

A quick search on Google brought confirmation.

dehydration, possibly coupled with a fungus and mineral loss

Drink more water, less industrial processed food, more natural food like raw veggies and meat from the butcher around the corner.

If dehydration was bad enough to make one's ear fall off, I dare say that one should be comatose or dead by then...

I think he's got communism. Makes your ears fall off that does but only if you are An Enemy of the People and have been sent to the gulags to have your ear chopped off.
