My fingernails keep breaking far below the quick. I've tried polish and it didn't help. I try to remeber to keep them short but they just keep breaking on thier own. Any ideas on how to resolve this minor problem ?

It's on his left forefinger, on the skin edging the top of his fingernail. It looks like it could be a wart, but is painful. He has tried doing all sorts of (horrendously inappropriate) things to it - like freezing it off, sandpapering it, and cutting what seems to be a growth of dead skin, to no avail. Our local GP has been less than helpful, attributing it to "something foreign under the skin", and doing nothing about it.

I have been having a strange problem with my fingernails for a while now. I began noticing it about 3 months ago, mainly starting on the ring finger of my left hand, but since then it has spread to pretty much all of my nails in varying degrees.

Hi Doc, I would appreciate your expert advice regarding any HIV risk from a fingernail scratch from a stripper in this case ... I recently went to a strip club and went for a private dance with one of the girls. During the dance the girl was playing with herself a bit and had her hands down around her vagina area some times (as many dancers do). But at one point she playfully scratched me on the arm with her fingernails.

The lubricant used was vasoline and I frequently have cuticle tears/cuticle breaks where the fingernail is attached to the finger. I do not remember if any were sore at the time and I don't remember any bleeding/injury to them but I cannot say for sure. It's been about a week now since exposure and I've been having lethargy, headaches, and I have a very mild rash on my shoulder blade that I cannot figure out is related to ARS. That's neither here nor there.

Does anyone have something called" Broken Thermostat" syndrome whereby you always feel hot? Since I got sick in my early to mid 20's I feel HOT year-round. They thought for years I had MS but finally the docs settled on CFIDS. Thyroid checks for years were normal. If I could only feel COOL instead of HOT even in the winter. The only way I can wear a sweater is OUTSIDE. Everyone here on the east-coast keeps their homes 70+ in the winter.

Because I thought there was a slight possibility it might have been a tick, I tried to get it out with my fingernails and tweezers. I tried this for a while, hurting the skin a little bit, but after a while I gave up and forgot about it. The next day I looked at it again and the spot was red and moist. I thought it just got a little infected because I hurt the skin. I looked at it with a mirror and I saw that it had a honey-coloured 'film' (transparent crust) over it.

I realize that in the big scope of hepatitis C and the horrors of treatment, this is diddlysquat. But-my fingernails are a total mess. They have always grown fast. I always keep them short. I work extensively with my hands, from carpentry, electronic assembly, hooking rugs, etc. my hands take a beating and they're tough. I've never had problems save for an occasional broken nail. Since stopping tx, my fingernails always crack, chip, and break, no matter how short I trim them.

I can grab on to each tooth with my fingernails and attempt to wiggle them but they seam to be still solidly anchored. I wont be able to do anything with these probably for another couple years simply because I have no job, no income, and the bills are starting to stack up. What are the possible problems I could end up with while waiting for a job to show it self?.

I get little red dots all over my arms afterwards which are probably broken blood vessles, and sometimes bruising from the scratching. It is so intense. I have found that if I take 3-4 advil prior to going to bed, the itch lessens to the point where I can ususally go to sleep. I dont understand this and wish someone had an answer.

Greetings, About two days ago I went to a spa and massage center, I was massaged for an hour by a therapist who seemed to have a cold. I think I got scratched by her fingernail on my back and on my buttocks, I'm afraid of what I might have caught from that scratch. I did not notice any bleeding or broken skin whatsoever I think but the area was red for a few hours, it did not hurt as well, but worried just the same in case the nail broke my skin and may have caused a slight or deep scratch.

i was not fully erected. so she compressed my penis glan with her fingernails hardly to put it into her vagina. and then we had vaginal sex. i was wearing condom. but she compressed my glan so hardly. condom was not broken, but it might have small slits maybe i dont know. the next day i saw a little (1mm diameter) wound on my glan - where she compressed. can hiv be transmitted from her vaginal fluid to my wound on my glan even though the wound's so small, if condom has small slits.

Lately, I have had some deep itches on my face and I have scratched them with my finger nail or held my fingernail on the itches for a few seconds to relieve the itch as it itches so bad, and after I am done holding my fingernail on the itches or scratching them with my fingernail, it has left little red lines on my face. I think they are broken blood vessels. They still itch and I try not to scratch them. When other parts of my face itch, I try to rub it with my finger, not my nail.

they are crooked, not to the point where i need to go to the hospital, but they are fanning outward. i have broken my fingers numerous times before and have had them splinted. but not all the fingers i broke are crooked, that doesnt seem to be what it came from. i have a habit of extensively biting my fingernails to where they look sore, but don't bother me at all.

A couple days ago I was holding my 1 year-old nephew and he scratched my chin with his fingernail. I didn't think the skin was broken so I didn't think about it. The next morning I noticed some dried blood on my chin. Is there any chance I've put my nephew at any risk?

They appear more frequently where skin is broken, such as in areas where fingernails are bitten or hangnails picked. Exfoliative keratolysis, on the other hand, presents with superficial air-filled blisters on the fingers or palms. The blisters burst to leave expanding collarettes of scale and circular or oval, tender, peeled areas. These peeled areas lack a normal barrier function and may become red, dry and cracked. If there is no history of allergies, this could be ruled out.

Since oral sex can be combined with manual stimulation, and fingernails can be quite sharp, I suppose vaginal tearing could result from combining the two. Or perhaps you're wondering whether a woman's hymen can be broken by penetration with something other than a penis? The answer is yes. I don't know of anyone with a tongue strong enough to do that, but don't want to say it's not possible. Realize that riding a bicycle, etc.

It could be anything from a broken blood vessel (which is pretty much a hickey) or an STD. Any type of trauma to the penis can cause blood vessels to break. Is it tender to the touch? Does it feel warm? If so, it's probably a blood vessel broken. It could have been caused by a number of things, your fingernail digging into his penis, him pushing too hard...ect...I wouldn't worry. But yes, a hickey can show up anywhere where there are blood vessels...pretty much your entire body.

Fever Chills Karposi whatever Other skin rashes Swollen glands Cotton mouth Oral lesions Fingernail deformations You name it, if it was mentioned with HIV in the same sentence, psychologically my body started to develop those exact symptoms. Today I had had enough. I could no longer function (literally) because of what I have been reading and obsessing over. I bit the bullet and saw my Dr.

Hello doctor, One week ago, I had a session with a professional dominatrix (of unknown status) where the following occurred. -She pinched my nipples with her fingernails extremely hard for long periods of time. I didn't notice any bleeding afterwards, but I think the skin on the nipples did become broken, because the next day I noticed a large amount of scabbing on my nipples. -She also used metal fingernail extensions to pinch my nipples very hard.

I did scrape my foot on the pavement a couple times near the end, but all in all it was pretty decent. I also managed to cut the fingernails on my right hand with the regular clippers and not with the mondo size ones that my husband got somewhere that I have to use when I need the leverage. The last time I cut my fingernails, I couldn’t do this. These kinds of fluctuations make it hard for me to pick out real trends sometimes.

I was also bleeding a lot, but I figured that he had just broken my hyman. This morning when I woke up, I had extreamly sharp pains in my vagina, and I'm still bleeding a little. Is this normal? I've read that sometimes you can get scratched from being fingered, is it possible that he scratched me, and that's what's causing my pain and bleeding?

It's almost at the corner (facing my nose) where the grouping of blood vessels are, so I'm assuming that it IS a blood vessel that somehow broke, or became irritated by my contacts...or maybe I just scratched myself with my fingernail? I don't feel any pain or have any change in my vision (no blurred vision, etc.) but it's still there.

Common hand warts grow around the nails, on the fingers, and on the backs of hands. They appear more frequently where skin is broken, such as in areas where fingernails are bitten or hangnails picked. Physicians should be consulted if there are no signs of progress after a month of self treatment. Alternatively it could also be a corn/callus.A callus (or callositiy) is an especially toughened area of skin which has become relatively thick and hard as a response to repeated contact or pressure.

I recently visited an escort for the first time and afterwards I told my girlfriend about it. We decided to put it behind us and agreed that we wouldn't have sex until I got tested at the 3 month mark. However, the other night, we engaged in mutual masturbation and I fingered her for a few minutes. The problem is that I suffer from eczema and the finger that I was using on my girlfriend had a tiny "weeping" wound just above my fingernail.

I touched the same things they did, could there have been blood on the object that could have infected me if i had a cut or through a wart on my hand or broken skin by fingernails? Could the doctor with blood on his hand who shook my hand transmitted anything? Could the nurse handling the needle been a potential risk when she put it in my vein? After removing the needle for taking the blood could something have transmitted through where the needle was?

she bleeds excessively with a tiny cut and a tiny bump will give her a bruise. In the last 2 years she has broken a hip , her arm and ribs from minor falls.she feels hungry but will often only eat a small amount and then feels bloated. all her fingernails are yellow ( i assumed from smoking) am i on the right track? how can i help her? (she will not stop drinking) how far along is she? what am i likely to expect?

I broke off my front tooth, which had been broken and capped 30 years ago. The dentist decided that a root canal should be done and a post inserted in the canal. I was given a flapper. I went to separate dentist 2 weeks later who created a post for the crown and then put on a crown. That was a month ago. At first the tooth felt a little funny, but I hoped it would go away. Now the pain is a little more constant, but not intense. It hurts when i tap my fingernail on my tooth.
