I have experienced microwave burns. I am currently going to doctors to see if they know how to diagnose a microwave burn.
I really didn't know what it was at first. I found out its's a microwave burn. Honestly I'm kind of shocked its not gone away. I feel the best thing for me to do is post my journey. That includes sharing my own burnt skin images.
I woke up today with a strong desire to share my story.
I used a tele doctor and his diagnose was inaccurate. In his diagnosis he said was it was a rash or other. In his defense, I can say maybe the pictures were tampered with. I'm not really sure the fact that he tried to say everything but nothing at the same time is a RED flag.
He's inconsistent and he can't tell the difference between a microwave burn and a sunburn basically. That's what it reveals about his diagnosis.
I wonder if its typical for a Dermatologist to have issues deciphering between a rash, microwave burn, radiation burn or sunburn.
I surely do wonder. Something tells me Dermatologists are capable of deciphering this but maybe not online. Even though I had a dermatologist give a skin care routine with just pictures.
I should do that again with new pictures. I also thought trying to get a facial or skin care expert might say about my skin.
I want these professionals to either diagnosis it correctly or admit they have misdiagnosed it because they haven't seen many microwave burn patients.
I found out cancer patients get radiation burns. I wonder if a doctor like that would know. So since this man said it is POSSIBLY (keyword) not acutally but possibly.
- 1.perhaps (used to indicate doubt or hesitancy).
So possibly according to Oxford Languages says possibly means PERHAPS (USED TO INDICATE DOUBT OF HESITANCY. That's insightful.
So this man is leaning toward Doubt or hesitance in his Own diagnosis. He's doubting himself in his diagnosis and follow up instructions.
Well, I'm with him I doubt him too.
Here is his diagnosis and follow up stuff. I had the peeling over 2 months I have proof from another doctor that gave me a referral. Today is 7/30/23. June and July without going sunbathing I have burnt peeling skin and I have Havana Syndrome symptoms. This doctor even THREW in a contagious impetigo (possibly again Indicating doubt and hesitancy in his Follow UP Instructions.
Wow he either doesn't know, can't tell, received strange pictures, or he for Some Reason decided to give a diagnosis while clearly admitting that he Doubts himself.
He also stated burn and peeling is his assesment. But failed to give anything for the burnt skin. I wonder if that's normal to just give something for infections. It doesn't sound right so maybe its a burn unit that would know better.
I would like to talk to other dermatologists to see what they know and don't.
Let me ASK you this...
Would you take ADVICE from a doctor saying it's possibly this or that and some other eruption as a GOOD diagnosis?
He said it might be:
- rash
- sunburn
- impetigo (7 days to cure)
- impetigo sunburn
- burn
- peeling
Let's Review the Diagnosis:
Where is the Radiation it was?
Ok I have what looks like to be second degree burns. It's kind of like the similar to the ones on targetedjustice.com but of a lesser extent. I also have a medium complexion in color not too light and not too dark.
What rash causes peeling?
How long does a Sunburn Last?
Severe sunburns
Severe sunburns sometimes require a visit to a doctor or even a hospital. You’ll have painful blistering and very red skin. It can take up to two weeks to fully recover.
Even if you don’t need to go to a hospital, you’ll likely have to stay home and rest to recover from a severe burn. (source)
What does a second-degree burn look like?
Features of a second-degree burn include:
- Skin discoloration: deep red to dark brown.
- Blisters.
- Shiny, moist skin.
- Pain or discomfort.
- Swelling.
- Layers of skin peeling away.
How do second-degree burns differ from other types of burns?
There are three main degrees of burns. You can identify what type of burn you have by its appearance. A first-degree burn may only cause skin discoloration. A second-degree burn includes blisters, a darker tone and a shiny, moist appearance. A third-degree burn may cause your skin to turn black and dry out. You may have second-degree burn symptoms with third-degree symptoms in the same area. You can have symptoms of several types of burns in the same place. (source)
What types of rash cause peeling?
What are radiation burn symptoms?
Radiation therapy can take place over days to several weeks, with radiation burn symptoms happening during radiation therapy or after therapy is done. Common radiation burn symptoms are:
- Reddening of white skin or darkening of skin that is black or brown.
- Itchy skin.
- Dry and peeling skin.
- Swelling.
- Blistering.
- Open sores that may appear where your skin is sweaty or damp, such as your armpits or under your breasts.
Will I notice symptoms right away?
You may not have any problems during your first few sessions. Most people whose treatment is close to the skin’s surface notice their skin is itchy and dry after the first session. Your skin may feel itchy and dry during your treatment. Some people develop radiation burn after their final session. That’s because radiation keeps on working even after you finish your treatment.
