system: What causes abnormal growths relative to an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly)?

There's usually another condition that's causing it, such as hepatitis. You have a lot of treatment choices, but you first need to find out the source of the problem. Getting treated is important. Your liver has a lot of big jobs to do. Just to name a few key ones, it helps clean your blood by getting rid of harmful chemicals that your body makes. It makes a liquid called bile, which helps you break down fat from food. And it also stores sugar, called glucose, which gives you a quick back-up energy boost when you need it. Depending on what's causing your liver to swell, you could end up with long-term damage if you don't get treated.

system: How can you tell if you have skin damage instead of a rash?
output: Some rashes look like an allergic reaction but really aren't, because your immune system wasn't involved. Instead, you touched something that took away the surface oils shielding your skin. The longer that thing stayed on your skin, the worse the reaction. It's called irritant contact dermatitis. If you have eczema, you're more likely to get this kind of rash.
system: How can you tell if you have allergic contact dermatitis?
output: But that touch sensitizes your skin, and you could have a reaction the next time. If you got a rash on first contact, chances are you've touched that trigger before and just didn't know it.
system: What's causing my rash?
output: Many of the symptoms can be the same. In both cases, your skin may blister, or you may get a raised red rash. Your skin will itch and maybe burn. When something is irritating or damaging your skin, you'll probably see a rash right away. With an allergy, it may be a day or two before the rash shows up. Symptoms of a contact allergy are usually right around where you touched the thing you're allergic to. Irritant contact dermatitis (skin damage) tends to burn and be more painful than itchy.
system: What are common triggers for contact dermatitis?
output: Common triggers for contact dermatitis are: Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac Hair dyes or straighteners Nickel, a metal found in jewelry and belt buckles Leather (specifically, chemicals used in tanning leather) Latex rubber Citrus fruit, especially the peel Fragrances in soaps, shampoos, lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics Some medications you put on your skin Usually, you won't get a rash the first time your skin touches something you're allergic to.
system: When should I see the doctor about a rash?
output: You call it a rash. Your doctor will take a look and ask you questions to help figure out what's going on. Depending on how severe it is, he may prescribe steroid pills or ointment, and an antihistamine. Your doctor can do skin tests to determine what you are allergic to. If you can't avoid what's bothering your skin, talk to your doctor about wearing gloves or using creams to keep it safe.
system: What could cause my rash?
output: Your doctor calls it dermatitis. Either way, your skin gets red and tender after you've touched something. It could be caused by an allergy, or because the protective layer of your skin got damaged. Call your doctor if your rash is painful or worries you, or if it isn't better after a couple of days.
system: What is allergic contact dermatitis?
output: After you touch something, it mistakenly thinks your body is under attack. It springs into action, making antibodies to fight the invader. A chain of events causes a release of chemicals, including histamine. That's what causes the allergic reaction -- in this case, an itchy rash. It's called allergic contact dermatitis. Some rashes look like an allergic reaction but really aren't, because your immune system wasn't involved.
system: How can you treat your rash at home?
output: If you got a rash on first contact, chances are you've touched that trigger before and just didn't know it. Wash your skin with mild soap and cool water right away, if you can. You may get rid of all or most of the problem substance. That could help cut back on symptoms. When the rash covers only a small area, a hydrocortisone cream may be all you need for relief. For blisters, apply a cold moist compress for 30 minutes, three times a day. If your skin is damaged, put moisturizers on it several times a day to help restore the protective layer. Oral antihistamines can help relieve itching. Don't use an antihistamine lotion unless your doctor suggests it, because it could cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction, too.
system: How do you use automated external defibrillator (AED)?
output: For newborns, infants, and children up to age 8, use a pediatric AED, if possible. If not, use an adult AED. Turn on the AED. Wipe chest dry. Attach pads. Plug in connector, if necessary.

Start or resume chest compressions. For an adult, see The Importance of CPR for information about giving CPR. For a child, see CPR for Children. Follow AED prompts. After 2 minutes of CPR, check the person's heart rhythm. If it's still absent or irregular, give another shock. If a shock isn't needed, continue CPR until emergency help arrives or the person begins to move. Stay with the person until help arrives.
system: What do you need to know about using an automated external defibrillator (AED)?
output: For an adult or older child, shout and shake the person to confirm consciousness. Never shake a young child. Check breathing and pulse.
