Avatar f tn While the US CDC does recommend avoiding sharing of personal items that could potentially have blood on them like razors, fingernail clippers and yes tooth brushes that is considered to be a small risk and the possibility of brushes touching would be that much even smaller. Also bear in mind in order to transmit hepatitis c there must be blood that has hepatitis c on the brush and that blood would have to enter the blood stream of an uninfected person.
Avatar f tn The new meds have cure rates as high as 99% You should not borrow AMF your dad should not lend personal hygiene products like razors, fingernail clippers or tooth brushes. While the risk of transmission is very very small when sharing these personal items there is still a non zero risk and should be avoided. Check with your dad about him getting treated. His treatment could be as simple as one pill a day for as few as 8 to 12 weeks and he could be cured.
Avatar f tn You don’t know if someone else’s blood entered your blood stream like through sharing needles or having a blood transfusion? Other smaller risks are sharing of personal hygiene items like fingernail clippers or tooth brushes with someone who has hep c as there could be small amounts of blood on those items. If someone’s blood who has hep c enters your blood stream that would be a risk. If that didn’t happen there is no risk of hep c.
Avatar m tn Then I picked my nose a bit, with the dried blood under my fingernail since I had a cold. I was wondering where I can get a PCR test to find out if I've become infected sooner instead of waiting. From what I have read there is a decent amount of risk associated with the incident. Either way, I would really just look to get a test soon for my own piece of mind. If anyone could help me out, that would me much appreciated... Also, I don't have a regular doctor I can go to.
Avatar n tn So basically three of my teeth have spots almost below the gum line where the outer enamel has completely disintegrated. The tooth itself is perfectly healthy and nothing shows on the x-rays. In my opinion it's clearly some type of hole because I can put my fingernail in it, but it's extremely painful. It's especially painful to sugar. I have seen three dentists now that have not been able to tell me what it is. One says they are not cavities just "sensitive spots".

Avatar m tn Does herpes whitlow cause pain under the fingernail and forearm? I've heard of the tingling and burning, I'm not feeling either but I'm feeling numbness under the fingernail and forearm?

Avatar f tn Hi, I posted this already, but I did it in the wrong forum! I had some questions. I recently got my makeup done a couple of weeks ago for a wedding. The makeup artist that was doing the bridal party traveled to the house we were getting ready at. She uses her own brushes and makeup products. I had the first makeup appointment for the morning, which was the first appoint for the whole day for the artist. Now it's been over two weeks and I noticed a burning red spot on my upper lip yesterday!
Avatar m tn Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.

Avatar m tn Hey there, Am I at risk of any serious disease if I get a very mild scratch from some other man's fingernail? This happened to me a few days back while travelling in a train.

It has since continued up toward the top of the nail while changing brownish now puple with the uppermost tip is turning white.

Avatar m tn My question is if the wetness I felt on the door handle had been blood and it had gotten on my fingertips and nails and had been wet hiv blood and it got on the fingernail that I punctured and cut my chin with could I have gotten hiv from my fingernail with wet hiv blood puncturing and cutting my chin? Thanks for all the hard work you do and thank you if you will answer my question. Do I need hiv testing for this incident?
Avatar m tn ve had this happen to me more than once) Any serious crunching to the nail on your finger will cause this to happen - the bruising underneath the nail is what causes it to fall off, and the bump in the middle of where the nail used to be is actually the new fingernail growing back.
