Avatar f tn My infant poked me in the eye a few hours ago. Its a little red and almost feels as if I have an eyelash or something in it. No blurred vision just gets watery and very irritated feeling...
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 n tn I got an infection on my finger right behind the fingernail. It is very red and tender to touch> It is mostly on the top part of the finger. It is also rather swollen.
Avatar n tn Ridges, pits,thickening or thinning of nails may suggest an underlying infection, kidney disease or nutrient deficiency. In your case,differentials will be a fungal infection, psoriasis or it may be a benign presentation of an underlying infection. Do you have any other associated signs or symptoms like a rash or scaly plaque in other parts of the body?
Avatar m tn I am a 25 year old female with Hepatitis B concerns. About 2 years ago I was fingered briefly with pre *** and my partners penis touched the outside of my vagina briefly with bodily fluid. I got tested at the time for everything including Hepatitis C and all was negative. However, I did not get tested for Hepatitis B because I was vaccinated as an infant/child and I'm assuming it was successful at the time.
Avatar m tn From the history that you have provided it looks like paronychia of the nail which progressed to infection of the fingertip. Paronychia is a soft tissue infection around a fingernail that begins as cellulitis but that may progress to a definite abscess. It is of two types: acute caused by bacterial infection and chronic caused by fungal infection.
Avatar f tn what are the chances of HIV infection for a female who had her vagina cut with a fingernail and was fingered with about a half tablespoon of pre-ejaculate right after?
Avatar m tn so somehow you got blood under your fingernail but never saw it until the fingernail grew enough to see it. How do you know it was even blood? You had no risk.
Avatar f tn I went to wash it and she pulled away and her fingernail digging into my hand I used and cut it with her fingernail drawing blood. Is there a risk to spreading herpes to the underneath of her fingernail grinding the virus into the underneath of the nail? Thanks.
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 f tn Similar situation with big toe. Caused by constant pressure against shoe end during sporting activity. > 6 hours after, injury was throbbing pain and could feel my heart-beat with the pain pulses. Drilled a small hole in center of nail and pressed blood out which soon after relieved the pain. Now 2 weeks later: under the nail became black. Lake swimming cleared the black (removed the remnants of bruising) and was able to squeeze out lake water through hole in nail.
Avatar m tn At the top of the fingernail, where it grows out fron the finger, is a small semi-circle of white then the rest of the finger nail is pinkish. Prior to moving to where I now live my nails all had this little area now 3 years later only my thumbs do. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? Thanks for any help!!
1345088 tn?1276382527 the other guy got hold of my ear with his hand. Later when I got home I saw blood on my ear. i had some (3-4) fingernail cuts on my ear and there was dried blood over it. I washed my ear and went to bed. When i woke up in morning I realized that it could have caused an HIV infection because he may be having blood on fingernails from nail-biting . I do not know the the other guy and i have absolutely no idea about his HIV status. But I am too worried about getting an infection like this.
Avatar f tn i never did get tested for the hiv infection but now i had a child a month after and he has really bad yeast infection covering his whole face and neck i an freaking out is that a sign
Avatar m tn My opponent pierced my skin in the palm of my hands between two fingers with his fingernail. It was bleeding a little for a while. I noticed my opponent bites his nails a lot (don't know if that is important). Am I at risk of an hiv or other STD infection if the fingernails had blood underneath them or other fluids? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have a rather large splinter wedged under my fingernail. I've tried to dig it out unsuccessfully with tweezers and a long pin. I soaked it in eardrops for swimmers because I thought that might prevent infection. There's no blood and it doesn't really hurt. What should I do?
Avatar n tn My fingertips on my right hand have severe pain. It started in my pointer finger. I thought it might be ingrown fingernail so I used fingernail clippers to get it out(with no success of seeing signs of ingrown fingernail).. well each day i woke up it was in a different fingertip. This lasted about a week and went away. It came back a few weeks ago but much worse. All my fingertips are sore, but the severity of it moves every couple days to a new finger.
Avatar n tn it travels from one finger tip to another lasting a couple days in one then seemingly disappearing then showing up in another. Typically it will affect two to three fingers per episode. Currently it is in the corner of my right thumb and my left big toe. It started a couple years ago and will happen 1 to 3 times per year. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn Since I got protected sex with pro in a month ago, I still waiting the right time to be tested. now the symptoms are equal to hiv symptoms where I got a sore throat, ulcer in mouth and and fever for 1 day,etc, now, I saw my kids has the similar symptoms where we are always sleep together and they always kissing me. my kids sometimes a dry lip which could let the lips bleed but I always aware of the bleed if my kids have. could I be infecting my kids? now I cease them to kiss me.
