Staph infection from tattoo
Common Questions and Answers about Staph infection from tattoo
infection
I thought it was safe but this came straight from a tattoo artist no its not safe to get a tattoo while your pregnant! but not because tattoos parlors are dirty the main reason is that because it takes white blood cells to heal a tattoo. so it takes away more from your already stressed out immune system, making you more prone to infections (staph, ink poisoning, etc) and sickness. plus youre more sensitive to the pigments in ink, making you more susceptible to an allergic reaction.
3 days ago I talked to a doctor and a tattoo artist. The artist said it might be an allergic reaction or staph. I showed the doctor the tattoo and he said probably staph, and I was given antibotics. (Kerflex) still no change in tattoo.
5. Yesterday and today I still have fever on and off, chills, swollen lymph nodes and I have now developed a cough... A sort of tickle in my throat. No change in tattoo, no heat, no pain, ect.
I'm not anti tattoo btw, I have a couple myself but its better not to risk infection that could harm your baby when pregnancy is only 9 months anyways
It would be awful if you got a staph infection or something while pregnant which is so easy to get if you have an open wound such as a piercing. Staph and other bacteria is present everywhere so you could pick it up even after your done being pierced. Our immune systems aren't up to par while pregnant.
D Ointment on the tattoo for two days after I got it upon advice from the tattoo artist, but I have not used any topical creams since then.
Basically, I am wondering if I should drive the 2 hours it would take me to see a dermatologist or if I should just let the rash spread and wait for it to clear up? I am also wondering about how long that would take (just so I don't keep worrying about it!) And of course I'd love to know what caused it in the first place (allergy to the ink?
maybe it's the tattoo, but rashes here are commonly associated with treatment and ribavirin is usually the culprit. however, is he on any pain medication? apparently treating can make you develop allergic reactions to other drugs that you weren't allergic to before.
Hello,
Since you are having staph infection, so if your girlfriend has been diagnosed with staph infection then chances are there that the infection got transmitted during physical contact like sexual contact or skin to skin contact. It is very surprising that the infection has not shown much results with antibiotics, In such cases, it is advisable to get the culture sample from the sores and a biopsy skin done which will confirm the diagnosis.
Is it Staph epidermidis or Staph aureus. Ask them about that too. If staph epi then it is just normal bacteria and doesn't need treatment if Staph aureus it depends on how much you have of it. If only a few bacteria then they may not treat it but if you have a lot then they will give you an antibiotic. It depends on how what term you are in in your pregnancy if they can give you antibiotics. But the antifungal is a topcial so it should be okay.
Several months ago i started to have a mild acne on my forehead, I did some exams and came out positive for staph aureus infection and staph epidermidis in two different labs. I took a treatment with antibiotics called ofloxacin 400 mg for ten days, my tests showed to be sensible to this drug. During the treatment the acne almost vanished but after i stopped it the situation was as bad as always.
Currently, my husband has a staph infection and is on antibiotics. This is number 4 outbreak in a year. He has never had any staph infection before and has an autoimmune disorder since his youth. He suffers from hypothyroidism and alopecia. Why now? How do we get rid of it and is this going to be an issue for a long period. As my son too has an autoimmune disorder, alopecia should I be concern for him as well?
Folicullitis is usually from staph. Under-skin infection may be from staph or strep. Infection usually invades under the skin if there is any (even slight) skin injury, fissure
If it was contact dermatitis (soap, new clothes or washing detergent), there wouldn't be under-skin fluid, I guess.
It may help, if you check in google using "staph scrotum", "celullitis", "staphylococcus groin", "streptococcus groin" and related terms.
It is difficult to answer your question. Bacterial infections don't really have side effects like a drug. You can get worse from a Staph infection if you don't treat it with something. Staphylococci can be normal skin bacteria (flora) or can cause an infection. If you have a minor skin infection such as a minor cut or impetigo try neosporin or other topical. If you have boils you can try hot compresses or a hot bath and topical antibiotics.
Yes. Staph infections are from a type of bacteria- staphylococcal. It can cause TONS of different problems and is easily spread to others. For example- have you ever heard of MRSA outbreaks? That is a kind of staph that is drug resistant and it can spread very easily. Toxic Shock Syndrome, when a tampon leads to a build up of bacteria that gets into the blood stream and shuts down the body, is another kind of staph infection. This doesn't mean you definitely have it, but it's possible.
I recently went to the doctor thinking I had a staph infection on my mid/lower back thigh. About a year ago I had gotten a similar "infection/outbreak" that I never went to the doctors for, as it was a very small cluster of bumps that dried out and went away within a few days, when I showed it to friends/family they thought it seemed like an allergic reaction or staph infection. So I chalked it up to one of those two things and never gave it a second thought.
I had a break out in my mouth last week and by Friday I had a sore on the bottom of my foot that woke me up because of the pain shooting up my leg. Went to doctor and he thinks it is a staph infection put me on antibodic and gave me a shot. Told me if it got worse to go to hospital. I have had these same sores for over 8 years and repeated upper respiratory infections.
The tattoo was done with sterile needles opened in front of me, gloves where used at all the time by tattoo artist and color was taken from big bottles in new small color wells and dropped in trash along with needles after tattooing. My concern is because I have not seen the guy using autoclave machine for tattoo machine (gun) itself and tattoo tube (grip).He was using alcohol after he shaved my leg before tattooing and I think that he put some alcohol on machine and tube before he started.
Oh so I looked it up and that is just a cute name for staph infection yeah people with HIV get staph bumps but so do people without HIV. I got it last year it is a pain to get rid of see a dr cause staph is dangerous. When I had staph I thought maybe I had HIV and I got tested and I did not have HIV. I learned symptoms don't mean anything !
My wife has a staph infection she had to be admitted in to the hosp. She's on antibiotics throuh iv. Night she bumped the sore by acceident and puss came out and she is more pain than before is this a good thing that it is draining?
So a few weeks ago I got this big boil on my waist that was like an ingrown hair and eventually after about a week went away on its own. You could still see discoloration there but there's no bump and no more pain. However, now I have one on my butt and it's almost the same thing. So I went to the doctor and they told me that it's a bad staph infection and they prescribed me Bactrim. Before I took it the boil was very painful and it hurt to even sit down.
