Avatar f tn He said it was osteo-arthritis evev when I kept telling him my finger nail was sore and I thought there was infection under the nail.

Avatar m tn circumstance: left pointer finger, at work i stuck a cedar sliver under the nail past the start point of the nail. I attempted to pull it out and it broke off. only 1/4 inch came out so a good 1/2 inch is still in there i can see it thru the nail. I attempted to cut and split the nail with razor blade but once i got part way thru nail it hurt bad. my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches.
Avatar m tn It is near the location where the pus was oozing and it looks like the nail is detaching from the nail bed.I haven;t seen a dr then i had put some antibiotic powder over it and in about 3 days the infection was gone. Now what has caused this yelow-brown discoloration?Is it like an effect of the infection?Should i see a doctor?Will my nail fall?
Avatar m tn I recently went out with a friend as we were kissing I tried to take off her bra but my finger accidentally hit or poked the metal strap so I failed to remove it. It hurt under the nail of my finger since I just cut my nails to short. It didnt seem to bleed I hope but the skin under the nail seems raw and a little pain. she kissed my finger and slightly sucked it the next day when I told her. no sex just kissing 1) Im so afraid do I have any risks for hiv std?
Avatar n tn It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white. I have an appointment in October.It doesn't hurt and does not appear to look fungal according to my doctor. Is October to long to wait? I read that melanoma can develop under the nail.
Avatar f tn It results from a breakdown of the protective barrier between the nail and the nail fold. It is diagnosed by gram staining and KOH wet mounts from the skin and nail scrapings. So I suggest you to get the gram staining and KOH wet mounts done from a dermatologist. 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.
Avatar m tn t get hurt in that process but got my cut on my finger top and a a bit of nail skin got removed. Though the cut didn't bleed but the skin which was removed from the nail bleed very lightly. And my friend also got a cut in his thumb nail. Which he got the day before brawl. I just want to know can I get hiv from these situations. If my friend blood touched my finger which got hurt. And I also used my hand to keep his mouth shut because he was using very bad languages. And nothing else I need.
Avatar m tn My daughter had this same problem. Finally I took her to the emergency room when she was in so much pain she couldn't take it. Well ended up she had some how cut the skin under her finger nail. And it had gotten infected and you couldn't tell because the finger nail was in the way. The doctor ended up numbing her finger and then draining the puss. He gave her a cream to put under her nail and also told us to do finger soaks and to keep it covered when at school.
Avatar f tn t cut it off with nail clipper. I can only clip off so much before it starts to hurt or bleed. Then it grows backs to normal again. If it's shaved or cut off, then won't it grow back, same result as using the nail clipper? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Thanks Brandywinne To geminigirl1963 , the old nail already from 1 week dropped and now the new nail is only cover the half of the finger and it is like it will never grow as it show like my other nails , meaning i am afraid that the process is already finished without letting the new nail grow to full.
Avatar f tn He has stimulated my clitoris many times before but never put his finger inside me. As he tried it hurt and felt very uncomfortable. I am still a virgin so I don't know if that has anything to do with the pain. Is something wrong with me? How do i get past the discomfort?
Avatar m tn i thought maybe an ingrown nail but i dont see any nail part of the nail digging into the skin, it just looks normal again with the exception of the blister looking thing now. if anyone knows what this could be i would appreciate it because i need to avoid doctors unless its life threatening.
Avatar n tn The most common causes are bacterial or fungal infections which enters the skin around the nail that has been damaged by trauma, such as nail biting, finger sucking, dishwashing, or chemical irritants. The yellow-green color, indicates that a collection of pus has formed under the skin (called an abscess). If this is the case it may require an incision and drainage. Warm soaks in a mixture of 50% warm water and 50% liquid antibacterial soap 3-4 times daily for about 15 minutes.
Avatar n tn Sorry my english I did the manicure and mrs. I hurt finger with a machine (nail shaper) then she used nail clipper, I want to know if there was upon contact with the clippers, I could have infected AIDS. (when i got there the place was empty) In the event that an infected person has been getting nails seconds before meNot sterilize instruments, if I am not exaggerated but it scares me.
Avatar f tn You are absolutely the right thing in going to see your doctor about this brown vertical line on your one finger nail, especially as it is the whole length of the nail, is getting wider and is not growing out with new nail growth. I have an idea what you found when you googled and no doubt you came across subungual melanoma. This does start off with a darkened stripe that gets wider and it only affects one nail.
Avatar f tn my nail has the same length of my nail from my uninjured hand, except that it slightly curves. It doesn't really curve completely *over* the finger, but it does curve. The main part that is missing is the fleshy bit behind the nail: my actual fingertip. There is basically no fingertip. When I type, for example, the only part that touches (and can touch) the keys is my nail.
Avatar f tn s started to bleeding when i got the cut by my finger nail , i dont know how long red and dark spot like blood stay in my finger nail , its same no risk?
Avatar n tn two days ago i slammed my middle finger in the door and instantly my nail started turning black. now the tip of my finger is swollen and the nail is still black. i dont think its broken because i can still bend it.
Avatar f tn I'm on my third baby and my nails stay done. Acrylic and everything. The smell probably isn't good for u but as far as the nail polish goes I don't think it's gonna hurt anything.
Avatar n tn My finger nail was crushed and halfway down the nail bed, the nail is torn and slightly poking into the cuticle. The nail is still attached to my skin at the top of the nail and in the bed at the bottom. This happened last night and my finger is slightly numb, swollen, and there is a lot of what looks like discharge (oily?). It’s been lightly bleeding. I can move my finger and curl it slightly with some pain. Do I need to go to urgent care or can this be taken care of at home?
Avatar m tn Unfortunately, if these cells are destroyed the nail will not re-grow. From your symptoms it looks like superficial burn of the finger nail which should soon regrow. 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 dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Hi people, i was going to write to the docter himself but i have been looking on here and people give near enough the same advice so here it goes, i just wanted to ask if someone has blood on there finger nail and they poke that into you can you get infected with hiv?
