Avatar n tn 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 don't usually notice these wounds unless I come into contact with something acidic (lemon juice, some soaps, etc). As I was fingering her my finger started to sting and I knew that I must have had some sort of eczema outbreak.
Avatar m tn s been going on for over a month peryoticly I try to dig out what feels to be a hard(like a fingernail) mass out off the wound. Tonight I had my son dig it out what we found was a hair deep(maybe a centimeter) under the skin on the edge of the wound and then fished out a piece of skin that looked like a worm almost. After dining the skin and hair out its stopped itching completely. My doctor says that it's eczema but I'm not so sure about that.
Avatar n tn t that bad since I started using a baby eczema oil on it that I purchased from the drugstore. I just really don't want my fingernail to fall off and would like to know what it could be and how I can fix it.
Avatar n tn I woke myself up a few nights ago because my hand had began to itch. When i woke up in the morning i looked at it and a rash, consisting of small, itchy, red bumps, had appeared on the knuckles of both my pointer fingers. It has been about 4 days now and the rash has spread up my pointer fingers, to the next knuckles, down the side of my hands and to my elbows. I have had a slight history of eczema, however, it was on my neck area and i have not had a flare up in about 3 years.
Avatar n tn Hi all, I've done a lot of research on the topic, but it doesn't seem to qualm my fears. Mainly because I just tested negative prior to this incident so my anxiety was reignited. Anyways, I was at a shady night club (a lot of people on ecstasy, me NOT being one of them...) and I was waiting online to go outside. A very drunk and loud girl behind me was yelling to another guy, and in the process, she spit all over the back of my neck.

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 n tn The rashes are very circular in shape, slighlty pink and very close to skin colour, they appear on both her arms and her neck, when touched it feels like normal skin, no noticable bumps or anything, around the size of a fingernail. She sometimes also gets a few rashes on her chest and face, not very large, about the size of a thumb. It seems like an allergic reaction to something as the rash only appears every 3 days or so and stays for around a day.
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 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 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...

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 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.
