Avatar f tn Kind of hard to understand why you have written but if you have concerns you should see your doctor. Most people have no symptoms. Those who do develop symptoms may have fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite and yellowing of the eyes and skin.
Avatar n tn m 52 and I actually figured I had just banged my finger but when I went to my Doc for something else she said to have a Derm take a peak at it just to be sure. My husband is bugging me to get it checked out to.I don't remember doing anything to it.
Avatar f tn ve been taking trimethoprim for 7 days (last dose today) but noticed a yellow spot about the size of a fingernail on my penis head. Could this be a side effect?
Avatar m tn I had been experiencing same condition on my left and right hands fingernail (both thumb and index finger, rest of my fingernails started to thicken too). They are thickening, test result is negative for fungus, the doctor told me to use Canesten. Last four months is ok, the coloring gone, but now its coming back. Then I just notice, that my nose, ears, navel and even my anus started to become itchy. I do not know if it is related to my fingernails.
Avatar n tn When they are yellow they can be a bit painful if bumped. They itch and sometimes the skin peels. My nail as is grows is very bumpy now with white lines or white looking holes(not really holes, just looks that way) I thought I originally got bit by a spider, already had a round of antibiotics, didn't help. I have been dealing with this for almost 4 months and my doc says it will just go away. It actually seemed like it was gone for about 10 days then all of a sudden it was back.
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 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 m tn So a few days ago i got a strange yellow white bulb under my foreskin, it was about the size of a fingernail and was at the very end where the foreskin meets the glans, i gave it time and it popped and left a strange yellow pus, i washed my penis and cleaned it out making sure not to use any strange soaps and i pulled back my foreskin and the area around was sore and swollen.
Avatar n tn I may have a mild uti but why is my pee coming out clear instead of yellow I'm scared about it hope it's not much more
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn over a year ago, very hard skin patches in yellow colour formed on both my hands. I did not take it seriously at first it got worse after 8 months I visited my GP and i have tried all the creams in this world to no effects. Please help, i am a woman and its really embarasing.
Avatar m tn Yes vitamins will turn your urine very yellow! I have had this happen to me.
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 My cuticles peel, along with the skin behind my cuticles. They are also red during this process. This happens a few times a year and I can't figure out why? Should I be worried or can it be fixed? Please help!
Avatar n tn My son was just stung by a wasp on his eyebrow and it has caused his eye to swell shut. The ice didn't really help the swelling but he is not complaining of anything besides it being sore. When should the swelling subside and is there anything in a wasp venom that could affect his vision? What should we look for as the night/a.m. progresses? thank you!
Avatar m tn My question is if the wetness I felt on the door handle had been blood and it had gotten on my fingertips and nails and had been wet hiv blood and it got on the fingernail that I punctured and cut my chin with could I have gotten hiv from my fingernail with wet hiv blood puncturing and cutting my chin? Thanks for all the hard work you do and thank you if you will answer my question. Do I need hiv testing for this incident?
Avatar m tn t remember injuring it in any way, although there is a small dark purple spot just beneath the very tip of the fingernail. It is very sensitive to pressure and when I hit it head-on against something, even lightly, it hurts enough to cause me to shout. It is only the fingertip, not the joint. While it is very sensitive to pain, the fingertip feels slightly numb. It is only that one fingertip. Like I said, I don't remember injuring it and it hasn't been improving.
Avatar n tn when i got home i had dried blood in my fingernail.. and i have a wound near my fingernail. I felt hurt but i forget to check in our office because i was talking to my client.but i don't have any idea where did i get this wound. Do i need to be concern in this matter?
