Charlotte's Trip to Dermatologist

Charlotte's spot on her arm that she has had for about a year still hasn't gone away so we decided to hit up the second dermatologist. There are two possibilities for what her spot is, both apparently nothing to worry about and should go away over time on their own.

# 1:Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) primarily is a self-limited dermatologic disorder that is associated rarely with systemic manifestations. Infants and small children are mainly affected.

JXG consists of lesions that may be single or multiple and appear as firm, slightly raised papulonodules several millimeters in diameter. They are tan-orange in color and occur frequently on the head and neck, but many extracutaneous sites have been reported.

The eye, particularly the uveal tract, is the most frequent site of extracutaneous involvement. Approximately one half of patients with ocular involvement have skin lesions. JXG is the most frequent cause of spontaneous hyphema in children and can result in secondary glaucoma and eventual blindness.

#2: Urticaria Pigmentosa Mastocytosis- This just sounds worse and the symptoms do not seem like Charlotte's spot so I'm ignoring this one. Anyways... moving on... we have some cream to try otherwise it is just going to go away.
