infection
The fingertip of her right ring finger is swollen with white dead skin which looks more like a fungal infection. No apparent necrosis, but the fingernail has separated and also *appears* to be infected with fungus. She has had IV antibiotics twice as well as antibiotic and antifungal pills, and it was non-responsive to the drugs. Tested negative for MRSA. Finger hurts and is pinkish-red. It is dry with no discharge.

On and off over the past year I've had dry skin on my hands, the dry skin seems to come from small bubbles under the skin that come to the surface, it seems to affect both hands on the index finger and also the bottom corner of the palm.
It does seem to come back in the same spots every few months and I do wash my hands probably a little much which dries them out, the reason I've started to ask is because it also looks to have appeared on my partners finger?
I don't normally look at posted photos, but I think you may have a minor skin condition called lichen planus. It's not an STD and harmless. Look it up on line and see if other posted photos look like yours. Also look in your mouth and see if there are whitish/lavender stripes on the inside of your cheeks.
You should see a doctor for confirmation and treatment.
Only these -- HSV1, HSV2, and VZV -- cause infections that include skin blisters. EBV does not cause skin lesions of any kind, nothing at all like HSV.
It is very unlikely your hand blisters are due to either mono (EBV) or herpes (HSV). Shingles (herpes zoster) might be a possiblity, and can be triggered by illnesses that transiently suppress the immune system, including mononucleosis.
For about 1.5 years I've been dealing with a persistent discoloration, dryness, and bumpiness of my penis glans that has been resistant to regular treatment of fungal infection & balanitis in general. Photos here (NSFW!): https://imgur.com/a/LSpLN
This was triggered after I was treated for what was diagnosed as folliculitis of the pubic area, either a fungal or bacterial infection that spread around my pubic area but resolved after 6-7 weeks.
The doctors who have seen him said it is definitely not ring worm and the skin scraping came back negative for fungal infection. There are no skin specialists within 4 hours drive to our town so photos were emailed to the nearest city two weeks ago, but I have not yet received any feedback. It was his sixth birthday today and the photos have this rash moving down his face. All parents and children wanted to know what was the matter. The rash has also started to move down his legs.
My 17 week old German shepherd puppy seems to have some type of skin infection or issue. She came from a dirty home and I noticed under her armpits she has weird marks and flaky skin. It's on both armpits and a little on her lower tummy. It looks like her skin is flaking off but still attached to her skin or hair. She's been itching a lot all over, not just in this area. She has a vet appointment Friday but I am just really worried. I'm posting pictures, someone help!
You could consider such things as a staph or strep infection that frequently causes a rash or itchy skin as well. Or perhaps you have come in contact with a poison or have a bacterial or fungal infection.
Scratching provides only temporary relief and doesn't promote healing of the underlying problem, it is best to avoid scratching if at all possible. If scratching breaks open the skin, bacterial infection can set in.
Hello,
From the symptoms it can be a bacterial skin infection which is causing these blisters or pompholyx (although less likely). Pompholyx is also called dyshidrotic eczema; the first stage is acute and presents as itchy blisters on the hands, fingers and toes. Then the chronic stage shows more peeling, cracking, or crusting. Then the skin heals up, or the blistering may start again.
I came home and shaved a little and clicked photos but it does not look like broken skin and when I touch it, it does not burn or pain. So it's not broken skin. I have attached a photo with this email. Please help me and advice me. Do I need to worry?
I asked the sex worker. She said she is clean and gets tested regularly. I also asked her if she would have sex with me without a condom next week.
However to completely rule out fungal infection, you should get KOH examination of the skin scrapings and fungal culture done. Also get a biopsy skin to rule out psoriasis. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
A breakthrough infection is usually very mild with fewer skin lesions (usually less than 50) lasting only a few days, with no fever. Breakthrough infection are believed to occur in approximately 2 percent of vaccinations per year. The rate does not appear to increase with length of time since vaccination.
Very interesting.
