Avatar n tn About two months ago my fingernail developed a black mark near the nailbed. 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 n tn I suggest that you have this assessed by your physician so you may be prescribed with the right medications.Topical corticosteroids may be necessary. For conditions affecting the nails however,you may need a more potent corticosteroid or a higher dose of the usual topical medications for good absorption.

Avatar m tn Hi, I have a question about HIV/AIDS and solo masturbation. Is it possible to come into contact with blood, etc. in the environment through touching things, and then have HIV/AIDS spread through masturbation after this? How long can HIV survive in the environment? Could it be preserved under a fingernail, etc.? I realize that I'm probably overly paranoid about this, but needed some reassurance. Thanks.

681148 tn?1437661591 I have several chronic conditions including chronic migraines. I will find out whether I need a nissen fundoplication in a few weeks when I will speak with the doctor. I noticed that my right thumb nail had a white spot near the middle of the nail bed on the left side. The nail has since grown out some, so the white spot will probably be gone by the time I see my PCP. My other thumb nail has a groove or pit that is like looking at a ditch on the nail bed.

1225178 tn?1318980604 I have read about transmission with shared straws, razors, fingernail clippers, etc. Does anybody remember reading how long the virus remains alive on these objects when exposed to the environment? I have read that the flu virus can live for 7 hours on surfaces and I'm hoping that limit is the same for hcv since I have let my kids use my clippers without ever thinking of a danger.

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.
