1833444 tn?1325557062 My husband has had dark, almost purple color to his nails, primarily down by the bed of the nail. One doctor said it might be a side effect to one of his blood pressure meds. Another doctor thought it might be due to his hepatitis. Last year, when he was on his second therapy for Hep C, his hepatologist referred him to a dermatologist, who thought he might have cryoglobulinemia, which is a blood disorder that many people with hepatitis have. It was ruled out.
Avatar m tn Hi there, Am I at risk of a serious disease if I get a very mild scratch from the fingernail of another person? It happened to me while travelling in a crowded train from an unknown man's fingernail who was standing next to me. No cut, no bleeding, just a mild scratch which stayed red for about an hour and then disappeared. I have had a tetanus shot in december 2010 and a three shot anti-rabies vaccination about 10 months ago. Its been more than a week now. No complications so far.
Avatar n tn The first suggestion online is that if you are female and have been wearing an orange or red color of polish for prolonged periods, if you take the polish off you might find that your nails are stained. But with a user name that says "lad," it doesn't sound like you've been wearing nail polish. The second possibility would be the finger having been hit and sustaining some damage that causes the nail to grow looking different.

Avatar f tn Why is my fingernail on my middle finger starting to pull away from my skin and turn white and the bottom half is pitting and peeling? What could this be?
Avatar f tn I feel like there is a huge weight on my chest. Oh and my oxygen level was normal. I also was wondering why the color in my fingernails is changing? They have gone to normal to a red/purple/blue half moon shape on the bottom. Hope someone can offer some suggestions. Thank you.
Avatar n tn Also what causes the small pin head sized blisters on my legs that are not painful, and can be scraped off with a fingernail. They have a dry white powder in them when opened.
Avatar f tn He has three moles, 2 on shoulder and 1 on lateral side of hip and a hard slight process (could be a mole but colorless) appeared on chest skin 5 months ago. The moles on shoulder and hip are as large as a fingernail and greenish. Doesn't remember if it was always this color but seems to remember them getting slightly bigger. In the past yr seem to be the same size. The appearance of the round hardened skin process (as a I push it feels like a very slim, round pebble) worries me.
Avatar m tn Im not sure how long ive had it, probably 4 years or more. It is pretty much a bruise on the right side of the urethra about the size of a fingernail. Its purplish/brownish in color. Im not sure how it happened, it could be some sort of hickey type damage (suction wound). Or from getting hit or something. It is most visible when my penis is flacid, but when erect it is much more of a skin color and is difficult to see. I was wondering what i could do to treat this.
Avatar n tn cyanosis. If you pinch a fingernail area, does it blanch but then go right back to its normal color when you release? What if you press on the lip spot? OTOH, if the area is always exactly the same, maybe it's some kind of birth mark, like the port wine stain type.
Avatar n tn Can HIV be transmitted if semen got underneath a fingernail? In otherwords, is the tissue underneath the fingernail vulnerable to passing HIV into the blood stream?
Avatar m tn Do you think the virus will transfer from my hand to zipper to then underneath my fingernail? Is it possible to get underneath the fingernail from a small metal zipper?
Avatar n tn It sounds like you might have been poked with something and it got infected. I I would see your doctor. The color change is not good, especially if it is getting black or dark. The only thing you can try at home if it has an opening put 3% hydrogen peroxide and then let dry then triple antibiotic ointment. If that doesn't get better you need to see your doctor. If you see red streaks go to the doctor if they are open or to the ER.
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? I did use the bathroom and with the same hand I pulled up my zipper and then in seconds used the underneath of my fingernail very firmly to secure it without washing my hands, very paranoid I spread the virus to my zipper then to the underneath of my fingernail.
Avatar f tn When I wake, I can take my fingernail over my lips and peel off the flaky, crusty skin. What is causing this? I had my lips tattoed about 7 years ago but this has just recently started happening. Help? My lips don't hurt or aren't swollen. They just flake at night.
Avatar n tn I scratched it using my fingernails and i noticed the pimple rash had a blood (red but the blood did not went outside the body) and i checked the fingernail that i used there is no visible blood also... Questions: 1. If the technician have a dried blood in my car and my fingernail hit or touches the blood and used the same fingernail to scratch my pimple rash...Do you think this is hcv transmission? Higk Risk, Low Risk Or No Risk? Begging for your merciful answer..My anxiety is killing me.
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 n tn I am 22 years old. Diabetes runs in my family. I have had a problem with sitting down for the past 2 years. My left leg falls asleep within a few minutes of sitting down. Over the period of a year and a half, I was checked out for neurological problems by both a neurologist and a neurosurgeon (resulting in NO additional information as to causes for my symptoms of my leg falling asleep).

Avatar f tn Fingering is not a risk of HIV transmission cut with a fingernail or not.
Avatar f tn In the last few months the index finger on my right hand has been going numb from the knuckle that is closest to the fingernail to the tip of the finger and it turns a very weird white color. After about 10-15 min. it goes back to the normal color and the feeling comes back along with a cooling sensation that last just a couple of min. This happens only about once a week or so.
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. Since then, I have been thinking about it and it has been causing me a lot of anxiety. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks and regards.
