Avatar n tn So I've never really had acne problems before. I scar really easy, so I try to be careful when I do get any kind of acne or skin problem. Just recently, I've notice these..."pimple" like things. They're had to describe, alls i know is that they've turned into "holes" in my skin. It's embarassing, but there is quite a few. I have one on my breast, like three on my shoulder, and more on my butt.
Avatar f tn Hi Thanks for writing in. There can be several causes leading to such deep holes in the skin. It will be difficult to assess exactly what these might be due to but you may find the information given useful. The small deep hole as in your shoulder skin or back can be a sinus tract that usually develops in response to a deep-seated skin infection or acne. It is an abnormal channel in the body that opens into the environment on one end.
Avatar f tn You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. Also use mild steroid cream and good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin. If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
Avatar n tn So I noticed that there are definitely more lacerations than there were cuts, so it's unlikely the cuts that healed. It looks like little cuts in the skin - there are maybe five places, one or two just look like holes in the skin with smaller holes. But they don't look like cauliflowers or anything like the pictures. Do genital warts ever look like cuts or holes in the labia? Anything else that could make it look like there were cuts or holes?
Avatar m tn My fear is that while verifying if there was air in the tip of the condom, she has made some kind of hole in it. I have tested the same type of condom at home (the manufacturer is a big multinational corporation) using my fingernails and i´ve noted that I have produced small holes in it, so that when I fill it with water it leaked squirting, without completely breaking the condom even if high pressure were applied making the condom look like a ballon. Questions are: 1.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am 16 and I just noticed that below the head of my penis, right where the skin meets the head, there are two holes. I am also circumsized. The holes kind of look like they have been caused by masturbation because they place where they are located is the part of the skin that gets pulled on. They seem like small pock marks and the skin just seems whiter inside of them. There is no puss or anything like that. I've never had sex before, just oral sex a few times.
Avatar f tn Use only thin applications of moisturizer ointments as excessive amounts of ointment may restrict breathing of the skin and aggravate the condition. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Hello, a few weeks ago I went bowling and discovered there was (what appeared to be dried) blood in one of the holes in the ball (after bowling a few rounds). The blood would be from a stranger. I do have chapped skin and a few cuts so my question is should I worry about contracting HIV? I know it dies once it touches light and air, but since the hole is dark, could the virus survive? (Also, I recognize that this is an irrational fear and am seeking help to demolish this fear.
Avatar m tn is there any documented case of hiv with protected sex?coz of minute holes,if any in condom. thanks for your answers in advance.
Avatar f tn ive had them for years and if your always working your hands its not much you can do, i took it easy on my hands the best i could and now their going away they come from bending your fingers or gripping/grabbing things thats why if you notice the little pin holes or in the cracks of your hand/fingers and theirs a seed a ball of dead skin once you dig into it the trick is every time that seed/dead skin try's to grow back in you have to pluck it back out and soon it will not grow back, but if
Avatar m tn We had sex about 5 - 10 minutes and then I ejaculate inside.I pull the condom out and I still saw the sperm in the tip of the condom... everything was fine until I went into the bathroom in order to fill the condom with water to make sure is ok. I saw there were 2 holes on the side of the condom. It were about 2 centimeters from the tip and water leaked from them. some waters still remains under these 2 holes. My questions: Do I have any risk of HIV infection??

Avatar f tn At a recent check he was said to have two peripheral areas of lattice with thinning with ? 2 holes in each area of the retina in his left eye. There were small areas of pigment clumps in both eyes. He has been advised laser treatment for the retinal holes to prevent the development of tears. Could you kindly advise and suggest of what preventive measures he could take.
Avatar m tn i was giving a subcut morphine injection to a patient on the ward the other day with a 25g needle. when i pinched the skin and slide the needle into her skin i could feel it between my fingers as she was soo skinny. i injected the morphine and then retracted the needle and walked away. i never felt a sharp pain and pricked when inserting the needle into the patient. as i was leaving i began to panic that maybe i had stuck myself in the process.
Avatar f tn It results in reddish, painful, tender lumps most commonly located in the front of the legs below the knees. These lumps can be self-limiting and resolve on their own in three to six weeks. Upon resolution, they may leave only a temporary bruised appearance or leave a chronic indentation in the skin where the fatty layer has been injured. This may occur for periods of weeks to months and then eventually goes away. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn It is less than 2cm diameter or less than 3/4 of an inch.
Avatar f tn I’m 15 and I have these holes in my foreskin when which feeling them feels like a skin tunnel that I can squeeze stuff out of. I think one of these is infected and now there’s a bumb that won’t go away no matter how much I try and pop it. Is there anything I can do or should I just go see a doctor?
Avatar n tn Hi guys, I live in the western part of the USA (California) and in a very populated city; we see no bats here, but where I live, rabid bats are found not near humans. So two months ago. I parked my car outside a public parking lot, and there were a lot of cars there. I accidentally parked my vehicle very close to the car next to me, and it was tough to get in and out.
Avatar n tn The rumor about small tears or holes in condoms is a myth. It doesn't actually happen in reality. Condoms are designed to split wide open when they fail, making it totally obvious that it broke. Regardless of that, your 3 and 6 month tests are more than enough proof that you are HIV negative. HIV tests are among the most accurate and sensitive of all tests available in any laboratory. There is zero reason for you to believe that the results are inaccurate.
Avatar m tn I tried to stop obsessing but since then it has been in my mind, I have had several lung infections (sorted by antibiotics within days) and also have problems with candida infection in the skin (comes more at times of stress) . Also sometimes my mouth flares up on only one side of toungue with ulcers or just pains. Is there a chance a condom (durex) could perefrate really small holes? maybe from a hair or somthing? Could i be bringing this on myself by anxiety and believing I am sick???
Avatar f tn i think that is my hymen in between them..? The hole above the skin is a bit on the inside of the skin and is hard to see bcuz its hidden by the skin unless the labia are streched aside. But i searched the internet and found that hymen is 'inside' the vaginal opening or "hole", as i am calling these. My vaginal hole which is lower is a little bigger than the above hole..the lower one is one quarters of the tip of my pinky finger..and the above one is smaller than that..
