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 s general health. 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 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 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 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 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 gross as it is, it was more or less an acne type cystic boil with infection and some blood that went under the fingernail - still no risk? even if viral load was high at the time?
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!!
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 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 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 Obtaining sample nail clippings and sending it off for a fungal culture can confirm the diagnosis of an infection. If present, then appropriate anti-fungal medications should be started. There are also various rheumatological diseases that can present with fingernail symptoms, and if suspected, various anti-antibody tests can be done as well as a referral to a rheumatologist.
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 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 f tn my boyfriend and I have been dating for five months. Yeah sure we fool around. Well one night, he is fingering my vagina and he accidently cuts the outside with his nail. Day later I started my period. This wasn't an issue until a few days ago when I was changing a tampon and the place here he cut me started stinging really bad. I necked it out and even showed my mom. There is a cut with little bumps around it. It itches so badly.
Avatar n tn The discharge is slightly foul smelling, and I think is most likely due to an infection. I do not know if the infection is inside (from the cut) or just from the bleeding labia.
Avatar f tn Is fingernails determine who the father is?
Avatar m tn two of the 5 doctors both said that he has some kind of infection. one said my son had a virus infection causing the fever, causing the seizure. the other doctor that my son just saw said that he had a bacterial infection. from what little i know i think that his immune system isn't working properly. i really don't know very much but i know my medical history and i have a history of immune failure when i was an infant. thank you for your reply.
