Possible causes of calcinosis cutis that may be rare diseases or just something acute (not a complete list, there’s another page not shown)

Distribution of calcium in the body

Bone calcium (99%)

Ca^2+ and PO4^3+ form hydroxyapatite

Plasma calcium

Diffusible pool

~50% of plasma calcium is free/unbound ionic Ca2+ (physiologically important form)

~10% of plasma calcium is complexed with small molecular weight compounds (citrate, phosphate)

Non-diffusible pool

~40% of plasma calcium is bound to calcium-binding proteins and plasma proteins (albumin)

The body utilises plasma albumin-bound calcium as a circulating reserve

Design based off of a milk carton

Yap sesh under line:

Ok so her name is Calcium, she has a little name tag that resembles a ingredients list, with all over her dress she has tags like "2%" Vitamins" and "Organic" but that usually gets cut off at "organ" as her hair blocks it. Speaking of, her hair is made out of regular 2% milk, while her skin is technically normal but it is a very light gray. Her dress and shoulders are blocky as it resembles a milk rectangular carton, the red color being your normal carton color. It has a drippy chocolate milk style at the end of the sleeves and skirt portion of the dress, on the dress there are strings at the end of the drips with brown beads which are supposed to be chocolate milk drops. The silver hood collar is for the section you put the straw in while the straw itself is in her hair, which often drips and makes small drops on the floor, but if she touches it, it merges back with her body. At the end of her hair is a light blue tint for the average school milk carton color, and that if you get lighting right milk can look a bit blue. On her neck there is a silver drip choker/necklace, idk just felt like a cool detail. She has a casual string belt with straws attached as a throw back to when @teil-dealer22 opened a milk carton and the straw was just taped to the thing💀

It may look like she has no pupils but if you look closely she has really light gray ones, so she can technically see. I might make more characters like this, I don't know maybe if this reaches like 25 notes. If so, she would definitely be an antagonist as her claws and really sharp teeth. She's got some mental issues...

The parts of her you cannot see are her legs, she has white socks with "strawberry milk" drips on the top and classic Converse shoes with a cow pattern on them. Her socks are almost knee-high but not quite. Anyway get this to 25 notes I'll make another :P
