Title: fordyce angiokeratoma and thal
Post by: sciack on January 13, 2014, 01:55:35 PM

Hello,

I was curious if anyone see a connection between fordyce angiokeratoma and thalassemia. I couldn't find anything, but I am curious if anyone else has it. Thanks.

The only area where I see a possible connection would be thrombophlebitis, since clotting problems are a common issue in thal intermedia and major, and even occasionally in minors.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for reply. Maybe this is why it is taking months (since October) to go away my swollen vein on my hand after a IV in hospital...

If you have time, please can you reply to my other thread, thank you
