Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, otherwise known as, Lutz-Lewandowsky epidermodysplasia verruciformis or Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia is a genetic disorder of the skin that is very rare in nature.It is particularly an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, with 10 to 20% of the cases being so. Other cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis, on the other hand, are predominantly spots that are white in color and very much resembles tinea and pityriasis versicolor, which usually develops in the trunk area. 2  Pityriasis versicolor, by the way, is a pale, rash caused by a yeast-like germ.
Drinking alcohol increases estrogen levels in the body. Some health experts believe that through this pathway, alcohol may increase the risk of estrogen sensitive cancers. This includes estrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, the most common type of breast cancer. This applies to wine, beer, and hard liquor.
At present, there are several possible ways in which alcohol may raise the risk of cancer. Some of these theories include: Increasing estrogen levels: We know that increased estrogen levels can elevate the risk of breast cancer, and the metabolism of alcohol in the body can increase estrogen levels. Oxidative stress: Oxidative stress - or damage to DNA that occurs via reactions involving oxygen may contribute.
