m not sure if the area between my skin and fingernail came in touch with her fluids but a little while later (not sure how long) the area of the fingernail at the cuticle hardened and raised a little bit. the area wasn't discolored at all. it actually looked like a callus and at the time i thought it was a callus that had hardened around the area until it healed. but now i just wanted to make sure that it wasn't an std or something.
It was the worst i have ever got,pus was coming out ,all the tissue was red and inflammed and it hurt like hell.Even if i touched my fingernail at the end(i have long fingernails) my finger was sensitive.So..today i noticed,i havent looked at my nail closely lately nor at a natural light , i saw that my nail suffered some yellow discoloration as if there was something underneath it.It is near the location where the pus was oozing and it looks like the nail is detaching from the nail bed.
Is it true hat if a diagnosed mole under your fingernail that does not involve cuticle means itis NOT melanoma? Should all lines, diagnoses of a mole line in your fingernail be biopsied?
Going to the title of this post, the handjob was finished and there was copious amounts of semen as a result. 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.
t have it on any other part and my wife has never contracted it. Fingernail and cuticle are normal but the growth remains. I should mention I have had Type I Diabetes for 35 yrs now and is well controlled. There could be an auto-immune element at work here.
i broke my fingernail about 2 weeks ago down underneath the skin in the middle underneath the nail, and it has finally grown back above the skin under the nail. but now where my cuticle is only one one side of the finger has turned into like a blood blister looking thing. its reddish/purplish and really small, probably smaller than the backside of a bic pen. i popped it thinking it was a blister but nothing came out it just looked like red flesh underneath with no puss or anything.
I recently shook hands with a woman who moved into our neighborhood. I had several small paper cuts on my fingers and a few cuticle cuts as well. We have come to learn that this woman is a drug addict and have noticed that she has pockmarks all over her face and seems to pick at them all the time. Since she is a drug addict, I worry that she could have a bloodborne disease. I am concerned that she may have had blood or bodily fluids from these pockmarks on her hands when I shook it.
I had a mishap at work in which my nail of my third finger was pulled out from under the cuticle area, but left attached to the nail bed. Emergency Doctor froze my finger, removed the nail surgically, stitched my fingertip back together, then reinserted the 'dead' nail (after thorough clean/disinfect) and stitched it in place to protect the nail bed and serve as a semi soft splint. I am on day 11 since my accident, and have been diligent in the care of my finger.
So about 2 weeks ago (after putting a cuticle out) the base of my fingernail got infected its red and swollen doesnt hurt much but when i touch it, then about a week ago i began to have these little white bumps on my finger tips they very in size but none bigger than 1/16in, they have now sped to some of my palm, they have no liquid in them they are only white and they open easly when scrached but they do not itch or hurt, my guess is i touched something im aleric to but i have never really been
I caught my finger (near cuticle) on a little bit if a screw that was sticking out of my work trolley. It bled a little but not a lot so I thought no more a bout it. Now a couple if days later I have a painful lump next to my fingernail. It looks like a thick skinned blister. What is it please?
I have a 2 and a haf year old son that I suspect has a fungus around the cuticle of his finger on his thumb. The thumb had been slammed inside a door or cabinet and it has never healed. I was wondering what would be the best fungal medication for him to take terbinafine or fluconazole I read on the internet that sporanox is not recommended. What do you think I should tell the doctor to prescribe for a two and a half year old that would be safe.
The nail is all orange except for the cuticle. Other fingers on the same hand are now getting a hint of orange. Is there a home remedy for this or do I need to see an MD.?
u r a godess for me.i was worried because ther was a pain in the cuticle as i mentioned. my worrry was the vaginal fluid must have come in contact with the cuticle that was cut although it wasnt bleeding.
t state if the pus comes out from the nail bed, but if it is, its probably a cuticle infection you have got.
You need to use hydrogen peroxide, which decimates the germs. You could use alcohol, even though it burns.
You could make a dressing, so that there is less exposure to water, and germs.
Make sure you change the dressings at least twice a day, and allow some air to blow on it for some time.
Then, you could use cuticle creams subsequently to massage your cuticle.
Does anyone know what could cause these brown lines at the cuticle and on the actual hand? Person has athletes foot, jock itch, and Versicolor. Also suffers from severe abdominal cramping and bloating frequently. based on my research online, the only instances I can find a brown lines on the hands and fingernails occurred in people who have parasitic infections. After contact, I am now getting the brown lines in (not under) my fingernails without injury. Also peeling between the fingers.
The nails are dehydrated and need protection or rather a cure with oils applied externally to the cuticle every day. Brittle nails can also peel, I believe there was a question below in regards to this. As far as I know, nutritional deficiencies rather show as uneven surfaces of the nail bed.
s replies to posting regarding transmission of HPV through open cuticle or hangnail underneath fingernails (since July 16, 2010 when a posting was made by 'dohdohdoh'). Followup question: Can I get HPV transmitted through underneath the finger nail? Background: I was fingering a woman known to have HPV. We were careful. No intercourse. No touching genitals. But I gave her two of my fingers in her vagina to please her.
How long it takes to regrow the accidentally cut finger cuticle. Since the cuticle removal, I have periodically a skin inflammation around the nail (no nail problem). Since the important cuticle's role is to seal the skin above the nail and prevent any infection in this area, I am worry I can't see any cuticle regrowth almost 2 1/2 months?
Very interesting story -- thanks for posting it. However, it's interesting precisely because it's such a rare event. This forum, and the herpes and STD expert forums (before they went into hibernation), receives fairly frequent questions from people concerned about risk of whitlow, especially from fingering or other hand-genital exposures. The replies, both here and by the experts, always say it's very rare, if it happens at all. But obviously it can happen.
My 6 year old daughter had an infection near her cuticle on her thumb which I believe was paronychia. The tested the pus and it was a strep a infection. She was prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days.
Her thumb nail has separated from the cuticle area and now about half of the nail is missing and there is only nail bed. Nothing seems to be growing in at the cuticle and it has been a month since the infection.
You didn't put yourself at risk.
My boyfriend is HIV positive. For the last two months, we have not had anal or oral sex. When we partake in mutual masturbation, I may begin, but he always finishes himself. The reason for this is because I have dry cracked cuticles that I usually bite. Sometimes they bleed, other times the skin just becomes raw.
Only one horizontal depression present on only one fingernail is usually caused by trauma (usually accidental physical trauma) of nail matrix (nail “root”). It should grow out of your nail bed in 2-3 months. Fingernails grow about 3mm per month.
Try to go back about 2 months and to remember if you had injured that nail area (anything from accidental bang to rough cuticle cutting…).
On Sunday afternoon, I had bitten off a cuticle on my left hand ( never thought twice about doing so )... as I had never had a cold sore on my mouth. Monday morning I woke up with pain in my glands near my armpits that lasted about 24 hours... 2 days later I developed a small split in my upper lip. Now I am experiencing itching and tingling in my pinky finger.
I am scared to death that I have transferred this from my mouth to my hands ( even though I had no visible sore on my mouth ).
The next day I noticed I had a cuticle on my index finger around the nail. It was reddish and oozing. It was probably 1 day old or few hours before the incident.
I got concerned and stressed out because I learned later he frequented bars and girls.
My questions are:
1. I know when carrying things, we always use the palm side.
With a cut that has not well healed (eg. within the first 24 - 48 hours for smallish cuts, such as when there's some seeping from the wound onto a bandaid) the germs have a possible direct route into the bloodstream. I think with a sore (no possibility of recent bleeding there, right?), no chance at all unless the sore were so bad that the tissue had become as deteriorated and receptive to such germs as a mucuous membrane.
