Hi all,
I just wanted to help educate others about urticaria pigmentosa/cutaneous masto.  

I have a normal tryptase level but high methyllhistamines in my urine.  I took a chance and went to a dermatologist to get my skin looked at, didn't look like much, but it turned out being something.  I wanted to share my pictures in case it would help someone else out there.

pic #1 the spot closest to my finger was raised like a mole. The one to the right is flat.

pic #2 this is a small flesh colored bump...hard and raised, like a pimple, but doesn't pop

pic #3 this is my full arm...you can see the scab from the biopsy, and pic #1's spot is to the top right of the scab (about 2 o' clock). Towards the top on the left side of my wrist is pic #2's spot.

I had another spot on my shoulder that I have nothing to compare it to but if was a brownish red mole with very light little capillaries in it.

Same here... "photo bucket" is better for giving public access... if that's what you're trying to do.

Hey Godsgal,

The new site you posted is not working for me, maybe I am doing something wrong?

I can tell you a easy way I used to attach pictures on the old forum.  It should work the same way on this new forum.  

Copy and paste the pictures you want on your desktop
Click the browse button then click on desktop then click on the picture you want then hit open and it should attach it.

Hope this helps  

Tracey
