Pompholyx
Info leaflet

Pompholyx is a type of eczema where there are itchy blisters on the hands and feet, followed by inflamed and dry skin. The condition is usually long-term, with symptoms that come and go at various times. The first step in managing pompholyx is to identify and avoid things that make it worse. Treatment includes creams and ointments to reduce inflammation and irritation. If the symptoms are severe and persistent, a short course of steroid tablets might be helpful.

Acromegaly
Info leaflet

Acromegaly is a rare, progressive condition in which you make too much growth hormone. This causes a range of symptoms that develop gradually, often over several years. The most noticeable symptoms are that your hands and feet become larger and features of your face may become more prominent. The cause is usually a small non-cancerous growth (tumour) in the pituitary gland. Treatment options include surgery to remove the growth and medicines to block the release or effects of growth hormone.

Pneumonia
Info leaflet

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung tissue. It is usually due to infection. Pneumonia tends to be more serious than bronchitis. Bronchitis is an inflammation or infection of the large airways - the bronchi. Sometimes bronchitis and pneumonia occur together - this is called bronchopneumonia.
